- Minimum stay:2-3 nights
- Internet:Yes
- Pets allowed:No
- Wheel chair accessible:No
January 2013 update! - we just scrubbed the condo, updated kitchen utensils, and replaced area rugs. The condo is clean and in great shape. The whole complex is sparkling. Most images were recently taken.
Important note - I've owned this Destin Florida condo for almost 10 years, have all the required state licenses, and pay my sales tax obligations. If someone's price is too good to be true, it may be just that...
Relax in this quiet, professionally decorated Destin Florida condominium with private beach access. Only steps from the soft white sand and sparkling turquoise water, you will find everything here needed for a fun and relaxing vacation. Destin's Miramar Beach area has fewer buildings, crowds, and hassles than the rest of Destin.
Enjoy this smoke-free, tiled second floor unit that comfortably sleeps six with a queen bed in the master, queen sleeper sofa and hallway bunks. You will find this a very clean and quiet location for your vacation, and very family oriented. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to make a fast breakfast or cook a full dinner for the family.
The view out the front door overlooks one of the two pools (one heated), and the balcony has is a partial view of the ocean. The family room has a large flat panel TV. Each of the TVs has a DVD player, and there is an X-Box for the kids with games included. In case you need to stay in touch with the office, wireless internet (WiFi) access is now FREE through a password-protected connection.
This well-maintained and recently repainted facility has two swimming pools, one heated and comfortable year-round. Take a dip in the hot tub after a long day of digging with the kids on the beach. The barbecue area has several large grills and is a great place to meet other families. Laundry facilities are located right down the hall.
Lounge chairs and umbrellas are available right across the street on the private beach for Gulfview guests. Access is now gated to ensure privacy. It's just a short walk along the beach to water sports, including jet skis, sailboats, and parasailing.
More than five miles of bike/jogging path along Destin Florida's Scenic Gulf Drive pass right by the building, plus a new boardwalk is being built right across the street. You can walk to some great seafood restaurants (Pompano Joe's, Captain Dave's, Kenny D's, and more), with shopping, golf, water parks, family fun centers, and the airport only minutes away. This gulf front location provides the ideal Destin Florida family vacation and relaxing getaway!

My boyfriend an I stayed here from 9/15/12 to 9/19/12. The condo was exactly as described and clean, with all the amenities. Extremely reasonably priced and sooo close to the beach. We found that the private access to the beach was great because it really cut down on the amount of people around us. The complex was good, we utilized the pool, hot tub, and grills- all worked well and were well kept. The area was perfect, and we have absolutely no complaints. We will definitely book this condo again in the future.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children.

This was new for our family to rent a condo over the interent. I was a bit nervous, but once I stepped foot into the cond I was so excited! It was so easy to work with the own of the condo and everything was perfect. I was so nervouse because my husband would say....if it's too good to be true, then it probably is. Lets just say he had to eat it words. My girls loved having the options of 2 pools and the beach. It was a wonderful vaction and would highly recomend this condo to anyone.Recommended for: Families with young children.

This place was clean and very close to the beach. The boys loved the bunk beds and the pools/hot tub. The beach was not crowded in this area, making the trip to the beach each day more relaxing. There were several places within walking distance to eat. The unit was also very close to shopping centers. We would definately stay here again. Very nice condo.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children.

We rented this condo in June 2012. It was located in a perfect spot and took us less than two minutes to walk across the street to the beach. It was clean and had everything that we needed. The girls enjoyed the bunk beds in the hallway very much. The pools were nice and stayed open until 11pm which was wonderful. We would stay again... we tried to stay another two nights but someone beat us to it. :)Recommended for: Tourists without a car, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children.

This was our second stay at this location and we LOVE Destin. My kids enjoyed the pools and hot tub, while I enjoyed being so close to the beach. The condo met our needs during our stay and the property management company was quick to respond to our calls. I would stay again and again.Recommended for: Families with young children, girls getaway.

We had a great stay at Gulfview and really loved the condo! The kids actually enjoyed going to bed because they got such a kick out of the bunk beds, and my seven-year-old couldn't stop playing Mario Kart. That was a nice addition! Everything was absolutely wonderful. There are two pools, so we could separate the kids a bit from the adults that were trying to relax. We also really loved the keyless entry, which was SO much easier than having to search the beachbag for a key!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

We stayed in this unit for 2 1/2 months and had a WONDERFUL Stay! Dave was GREAT to work with! I would have given 5 stars but there was some cleaning issues which Dave did everything he could to make it right! Once it was clean, it was a nice cozy place and felt like home! Loved the color scheme! The Beach is AWESOME! It is the most beautiful beach and the beautiful white sand (white sand is much prettier than white snow) GREAT location!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We stayed here in 2010 and enjoyed our stay. Clean, great location, family friendly, close to beach, restaurants with in walking distance... We were making plans to stay here again in 2011, but had a change in our plans. We will definitely contact Dave in future years about staying in his condo - he is honest and great to work with.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

Location
Owner info
Year Purchased: 2002
About the owner: Hello! We fell in love with Destin the first time we visited, and bought this condo in 2002. We visit often to make sure that everything is in great shape. Most of our guests return each year, and we hope you will too!
Why the Owner Chose Gulfview:
We love the wide beaches and crystal clear water. The Florida Gulf Coast has the nicest beaches in the US, if not the world. Gulfview is the perfect mix of value, convenience, and seclusion for a great family vacation.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
Gulfview has two pools (one heated year-round) and a hot tub, which is rare for condos in this area. The private beach is rarely crowded, but if you look up and down the beach you can see how packed it gets in front of the larger condo buildings. Outside the building is a 5+ mile walking/biking trail along the beautiful beach. I just added a flat panel TV and free, password-protected wireless internet access.
