Glad you enjoyed your stay Sarah. You took advantage of what we locals have come to realize: the best time of the year to be in Destin and enjoy the best combination of weather and beach conditions is between Mother's Day and Memorial Day. Hope to have you again as a guest in our condo. Roland and Pat Guidry, owners

Thank you Ashley for your great review. As the one who initiated, designed the site plan and unit floor plans, sold the condos to the first buyers, initially managed the Association and Rentals, and have continued to manage my unique unit 401 myself all these years, my wife Pat and I have great pride in what we created on prime Destin beach front. I could have built more condo units but chose to make the units oversized for comfort of owners and rental guests. Many other condos in Destin have multiple rows of chairs and umbrellas on the beach; not so at Gulfgate--only one row. Hope to see you again in 401 Ashley.

Beachfront condo in great location

Gulfgate 401 is in a great location, walking distance to The Back Porch and short drive to Harbor Boardwalk. Huge balcony beachfront with more beach per unit than most condo's in the area, so way less crowded. The pool is not large but has a zero entry and small slide for younger kids. Roland is a great host that is very responsive and helpful on the day you check in.

Exceeded expectations

We really enjoyed our stay. The owner went above and beyond to answer all our questions and concerns, and even accommodated our travel plan changes. The unit has amazing views of the ocean. Private beach made it easy to always have a comfortable spot for our family, and it’s location for as close to all our Destin favorites like the boardwalk, Back Porch and Commons Area. The unit came fully equipped with everything we needed and then some. We would definitely stay here again!

This has been the best experience I have ever had with owners of a property. Roland and Pat were very involved from the moment I made the reservations. The condo was very nice. Roland left very user friendly instructions on all electronics. I would definitely stay with them again.

Excellent November getaway

My mom and I had a wonderful and relaxing time staying in this condo. It was easy to find with Roland’s detailed directions and the check in was a breeze as well. The building the condo is in itself is very well kept, quiet, and secure, and while the condo isn’t the newest on the block, it is carefully maintained, clean, and comfortable to stay in. You really can’t beat the view or the corner unit!! We also enjoyed the outdoor seating area, pool, and short walk to the beach. The location was perfect for our needs, nestled perfectly between all our favorite restaurants and only a short drive to other Destin activities like the outlets, Baytown Wharf, and the harbor (it’s also very close to kids activities like water parks). We will absolutely be repeat customers and can’t wait for our next trip to beautiful destin.

Thank you Chelsea for your positive review. With regards to your comment ",,,while the condo isn't the newest on the block....." here is something to consider. I was the one who conceived, named, designed (floor plan and site plan) and administered the development of Destin Gulfgate as a member of the development team. Yes, the condo complex is approaching 30 years....but the board of directors is extremely proactive in upgrading the amenities and the physical plant. With 460' of beach front in 1993, I was able to stop at 66 units to make the development economically viable; if a "NEW" beach front site with that much beach front were developed today , the number of units would have to be three to five times as much for the development to succeed financially. One of Gulfgate's best assets are 8' X 30' balconies directly facing the beach with only sand dunes between the balcony railing and the water......and the number of units only 66 on 460' of Destin Prime beach front. This is why a leading rating agency of beach front condos in Destin rate Destin Gulfgate number one!!! Roland Guidry, developer and owner, unit 401

Gulfgate

We had an awesome week at Gulfgate in Destin. The unit had a balcony and great view of the beach and ocean. Beach service for 2 was included in our stay, so we didn't have to lug chairs across the beach each day. The kids enjoyed the heated pool each afternoon. The unit was clean and spacious with a small kitchen area that we utilized daily. Bonuses that were much appreciated: washer and dryer in the unit, icemaker, and (seems like a minor detail, but it was much appreciated) handsoap at kitchen and bathroom faucets. We would definitely stay here again should the opportunity arise.

Family week in Destin

We had a great stay! Loved being right on the beach. Loved that there were liquid soaps at every sink instead of bar soap. They included 1 roll of paper towels for the kitchen and 2 rolls of toilet paper in each bathroom which we ran out of, but Walmart and Target were close enough to grab more. They included a dishwasher tablet for each night, but we ran out of plates and forks several time so we bought some paper plates. The condo also came with some assorted spices and seasonings which saved us from buying those. All in all a great week, but we did have 7 people so expected having to purchase extra paper goods. Also never had any issues running out of hot water with all the showers, dishes, and laundry. We’d definitely stay again.
