Map & Owner's Profile
Luxury Condo Directly Across from the Beach, Wi-Fi Included!
Year Purchased: 2008
Why the Owner Chose Gulfview
We bought this particular condo because it is so well appointed. It has great views of the beach and Gulf from the balcony. In addition it is a west end unit which affords additional views and light through the side window. It is within walking distance of 3 restaurants and has a trail right outside which is perfect for running, cycling or just taking long picturesque walks.
The building is of a commercial concrete frame construction which we felt was important as it is almost on the beach and the gulf coast has been known to experience the odd storm! Allied with this we have installed quality finishes and I believe that the ambience when one stays here is superior to that at some of the surrounding properties. My kids love the fact that the pool is right outside and it is no more than 2 minutes to the beach. In fact the beach is so close that you do not have to load up with the whole day's beach paraphernalia - it is easier to walk back and forth than some high rises I have stayed at that are right on the beach
Owner's Map of Gulfview
I started vacationing on the gulf coast a few years ago with my wife and children and could not believe the perfect white sand and clear blue water; so different from the pebbly beaches and gray/green water of the south coast of England where I grew up. My co-owner and work colleague Bill Pickett grew up enjoying many family trips to Panama City from his native Atlanta and so he was well aware of the charms of the Emerald Coast.

Great condo in a great area!!!

We have stayed at this condo twice now and love it. It is a newly update, very well kept condo with a king size bed!!! The owners are great to work with. The Scenic 98 area is a very quiet area that is great for walking and relaxing. It has a great view and very easy access to the beach. I have stayed in the Gulfview complex numerous times and it has never been noisy or felt like the run of the mill condo. It almost feels like home. Give it a try and you will not regret it.
Owner response:I'm glad you enjoyed it Chris. Thanks for the review. Look forward to hearing from you next year. Malcolm.

Lovely Place. Had every conveniece. Pools & hot tub. Easy close access to the beach. Unit has a lovely view of the beach. Close to shopping. Updated unit. Very comfortable king size bed. We have been to beaches all over, Hawaii, Bahamas, Carribean, Mexico, & the Destin beach is the best. Good beach for walking because it is flat. Even during a storm it is amazing to watch. Not an overcrowded area. Loved it and will come again some time.
Owner response:Thanks for the review Larry. I have to agree about the beach. Let us know when you want to come again. Regards, Malcolm.

We have stayed at the Gulfview many, many times over the last 24 years. This Unit was great! We loved having our coffee and breakfast on the front balcony every morning, while we watched the ocean, and all the bikers and walkers going by. We are convenient to a beautiful part of the beach, which we enjoy all day, and the pool is wonderful. We have enjoyed walking to several of the area restaurants. The unit was beautiful, clean, and well equipped. We could not have asked for a better vacation, and we have already booked next year. Thank you Bill and Malcolm for sharing your Destin home.
Owner response:Tony, Thanks for your review; it sounds like you had a great time, which I am sure will be equally as good next year. Regards, Malcolm.

This was our first family vacation to Florida.. When we arrived, we felt like we were home.. In a good way of course. The unit was very clean and has a beautiful view of the ocean. It was soo nice just getting up and not having to worry about driving to the beach or walking to far. The only problem we experienced was our trip was not long enough to fit in all the stuff we wanted to do. I would recommend this unit to anyone. We can't wait to come back next year.. We will be staying longer:)
Owner response:I'm glad you enjoyed it Antoinette. Look forward to seeing you next year. Malcolm.

Review Submitted: 08/02/11
Once again my family (two adults, one eleven year old) returned to stay at this condo. We absolutely love the place. It is close to the beach, pool, laundry, and barbecue grill. The view from the condo has to be easily one of the best in the complex. One of the mornings we were there we watched a huge pod of dolphins feeding in the gulf. Amazing! The condo comes with virtually everything you need. The king-sized bed is comfortable and my daughter enjoy the sleeper sofa. I really appreciated the wifi in the unit, as we liked to pull up different restaurants or phone numbers for local businesses. We will definitely return for a third time to this unit.
Owner response:Tracie, Thanks for the testimonial. I don't think I could have written a better one myself ! Look forward to hearing from you next year. Best regards, Malcolm.

The condo was beautiful, clean, well-stocked, and quiet. The king size bed was extremely comfortable and beach access was convenient and safe. The owners were friendly and helpful. We had a blast in a safe, beautiful environment. We will be back.
Owner response:Lesa, I'm glad you enjoyed your time at our condo. We are going to make some improvements this fall, (new furniture & flooring), so it should be even more comfortable next year. Regards, Malcolm.

Great vacation in June. 2011

Review Submitted: 07/07/11
My wife and I stayed at this condo June 18 thru June 25, 2011, and would recommend to anyone looking for a condo to rent in Destin. It was the perfect size for the two of us and was nicely decorated. The cost was a little more than some of the other condos in Gulfview, but the view of the Gulf from the balcony was well worth it. Our daughter and her family rented another condo at Gulfview and she and the children came to our condo each morning and had breakfast on the balcony. The pools were very nice and were never too full. The one negative is the coin slots on the washers and dryers jammed up, so were difficut to use. Overall, we were very satisfied with this condo and really hated to leave. We hope to stay here again.
Owner response:Thanks for your kind review Kerry. We hope you stay again too! Malcolm.

My husband and I have stayed two years in a row here and will be back next year. We love this condo, it is the perfect size for us and is in the best location. It is just a short walk to the beach. We highly recommend this condo to everyone! And the owners are very nice to work with.
Owner response:Meghan, Thanks for being a repeat guest and taking such good care of our place. We'd be very happy to have you back next year. FYI we are going to spruce up the condo with some new furniture at the end of the summer. Regards, Malcolm.

June 2011 Vacation

Very happy with this property. My husband and I stayed 7 days and nights and had a wonderful time! The condo was the perfect size for us and very homey. Everything we needed was right there. The walk to the beach was nothing and we felt very safe going and coming. We actually were able to come one night earlier and Bill was very accomodating. The bed was very comfortable and so was the living area. Great place for a vacation and we will definitely be back. Thanks so much for the wonderful stay!
Owner response:Thanks for such a great referral. We are glad that you enjoyed your vacation. I hope that you will stay with us again next summer.
