Closest Condo to the Gulf; Right on the beach 509

Well maintained two bedroom, two bath condominium is located off Thomas Drive. Our condo was built before the new setback rules went into effect and is located on the top floor (5th) and overlooks the Gulf right on the beach. There are no large developments on either side of Gulfgate. You can leave the condo and be on the beach in 60 seconds. The pool is heated and lounge chairs and tables for your use are located in the pool areas. You must be 26 years or older to rent at Gulfgate.
Our condo has Tile floors and king size beds in both bedrooms. Master bedroom also opens to the spacious balcony . Both bedrooms and living area have TV's. We also have wireless internet.
We just purchased this condo which is next door to VRBO 61797(see our reviews) that we purchased new in the 70's. It has the same floor plan and have just finished the renovation with same paint scheme and beautiful new tile floors.
Gulfgate is close to all major attractions and shopping. Gulfgate is the perfect place to bring your family and have a wonderful vacation. We are never crowded !

Great location (right on the beach). The building was under construction during our stay, so we didn't get full use of the amenities, but we were made aware of it and it worked out fine. It is a very clean, functional unit with a great view!

All you need getaway

Property was as described, spacious and comfortable. Beds were firm but comfortable. Pool was really nice, warm, under shade and deep. The beach is just steps away, and the view from the unit was unbeatable. Quiet and relaxing area. Restaurants within walking distance. Grocery and pharmacy very close. Parking was great. Great place for a family getaway.

Wonderful place, great area

The place was very clean, very nice area, quite, and not very crowded. The dog area was a sand pit, so that was disappointing. The elevator has no air flow so it gets very hot and stagnant in there, but the ride is short. Despite some small things, we would definitely stay again.

Always good experience

This is our second stay here, we've never had a bad experience. Only thing negative I'd have to say is we've watched numerous people park here and not be tenants to go to the beach, that limits the parking spots for the actual tenants, also the elevator is hot and slow other than that everything was perfect just a few minor fixes. We will definitely return to Gulfgate again.

What a fantastic vacation!!!

My family had an amazing spring break vacation in this lovely beach condo! It was perfect for all that we needed! It was right on the beach, had a pool, and was close to all of the wonderful restaurants that Panama City has to offer! We were so very thankful to be able to bring our two mini-dachshunds, and they ABSOLUTELY loved the beach life!!! Thank you for providing this memorable experience!!!! We will definitely contact you when we come back for our next adventure, Ben!!!!! Thanks again!!!!
