Just finishing extensive remodel ! New plank tile throughout ! new upgraded Thomasville cabinets! new exotic quartzite countertops !! New carpet,new paint! New mattresses, New 65" flatscreen smart T V !! This is truly the "Penthouse at Gulfgate" !!
Destin Gulfgate was rated by travel magazine as the #1 vacation rental condo in Destin !! You can view it right now with our live web camera. Log on to www.dgcam. Go to the lower right corner of the screen and click on the blue dot. You can pan the camera yourself to look around !!!
My unit is a PENTHOUSE LEVEL unit (11th floor ).As the Penthouse, it has the best view !! higher ceilings,crown molding, is quieter since no one is above you. It is decorated in upscale fashion.. WiFi computer use throughout the unit .
This condo and its heated pool are directly on the beach,with direct frontal views, no road to cross! A brand new gym looks across the pool into the gulf. It is well equipped.
This unit has a great layout.It is an OVERSIZE TWO BEDROOM at 1480 square feet. The master bedroom has a king-size bed with 42'flat screen tv and whirlpool tub.
The second bedroom is large enough for two queen-size beds. The main living area is oversized also and has a queen-size, pull-out couch and a 65"flatscreenT V !! Therefore, this two-bedroom unit can EASILY ACCOMMODATE EIGHT PEOPLE. In addition, the balcony is very nice at 30-feet long by eight-foot deep.The beachfront is 465-feet wide! Since there are only 65 units, Gulfgate has the most beachfront per unit than any other condo building in Destin !!!! Destin's most uncrowded beach !!
This penthouse unit has high speed internet,wet bar with seperate icemaker,a library of about 30 CD movies and 50 novels. The location is excellent as you can park your car and walk to six or seven restaurants, water park, putt putt, etc. You are two minutes to Wal-Mart, the theatres, whatever!
With my cleaning crew, CHECK IN TIME IS GUARANTEED AT 12:00 NOON!!!!, not 3 0R 4 in the afternoon!! WOW!! Thats like getting an extra day free.!!! Come see us soon!

About David Barnes
I grew up in Andalusia Alabama. Our family took all our vacations growing up in Destin since we were only 1.5 hours away. My grandparents built a home here in the 1920s!!Therefore Destin is like a home away from home to me. A place with great connection and fond memories.
My career in polymer chemistry took me to Gadsden, Atlanta,then to Charlotte. I feel very fortunate to be able to call Destin my full time home now.Now I have a couple of rental condos and do some sailboat charters. sshh, my rental customers get discounted sail rates!!!
Come to see us. I like meeting my customers personally!!
David Barnes purchased this condo in 2005
Why David Barnes chose Destin
I love Destin Gulfgate because the units are the largest 2 bedroom units in destin that are directly on the beach. The main room is oversized.Likewise the 2nd bedroom holds TWO queen beds! Therefore Gulfgate is one of the few 2 bedroom properties that allow up to 8 people per unit.
In addition,the Gulfgate building is built very close to the water...no deep setback.. this gives a better view and shorter walk to the beach.
Gulfgate is a highly desired rental property by people who know Destin.
What makes this condo unique
I have tried to make this penthouse unit a 'cut above' the others at Gulfgate.As the penthouse it has higher ceilings, crown molding,is quieter ,and of course most of all... a better view!!This unit is simply lovely.
.The towels are not standard housekeeping quality, but are thicker,softer, and color coordinated.
There are crystal wine glasses at the bar for red and white wine. I have a library of about 50 quality books for your reading. Likewise a library of cd movies(approx 30 ) for free viewing.the kitchen is fully equipped , even with a spice rack.brand new oversize washer/dryer,etc.With my cleaning crew, I have GUARANTEED CHECK IN TIME OF 12:00 NOON!! Thats almost like getting an extra day free!!
As the penthouse level, i have tried to maintain it as 'a cut above'.My sincere thanks for your consideration of the PRISTINE PENTHOUSE. The Penthouse at Gulfgate !!!

So beautiful after the remodel.
We just spent a wonderful week at this Destin Gulfgate condo. We have stayed here for Spring Break for several years. The updates are amazing! I love the calming color scheme, the smooth, cool marble counters. The TVs were all updated, too. But the view from the balcony is so amazing that we sit outside most of the time or are at the pool or beach. The artwork is wonderful. The beds are comfortable. The best update was to the bathroom off the master bedroom...huge shower! Love this place!
Best view in Destin
This was the best equipped kitchen! The linens were exquisite.
Amazing view, beautiful condo.
This property is perfect for a family vacation. The condo is very spacious and up to date. New mattresses and a huge shower in the master bath. Very nice up to date kitchen as well. The balcony is as wide as the unit is. Stretching from one side of the condo to the next with access to the balcony from the master bedroom. The views are outstanding with a direct beach view. Very short walk to the beach and the pool. My family of 4 had an amazing vacation here and were sad to leave. The owner, David, was extremely kind and helpful with any questions we had. You will not be sorry if you rent this unit. Cannot say enough good things about it. We will definitely be back! Thank you David!
Relaxing, Quiet, Beautiful View
Our stay at Destin Gulfgate #1105 was perfect for a restful vacation. David, the owner, was very accommodating and the beach was beautiful.
Thanksgiving at the beach!
Thanksgiving, Beach, Football & Condo! My husband and I had a fantastic week's stay in this beautiful unit. The kitchen is well stocked , the furniture comfortable, the artwork and decor soothing and the balcony is extra large with comfortable seating and fantastic beach & gulf views . We enjoyed wonderful November sunsets from the balcony & enjoyed The Egg Bowl and. The Iron Bowl on the large screen TV. Home Away and the owner are both wonderful to work with and we WILL rent this unit again.
A Wonderful Property with a Great Location
David’s condo was very nice and comfortable. The view from the balcony was as wonderful as advertised. We enjoyed the stay so much, we have already booked our stay for next year. David was very accommodating during our 2 weeks as things came up during our stay, I would highly recommend this property to anyone planning a trip to Destin. Thanks again David, we will see you next year!
