Waking up to the view in such an awesome unit was so relaxing. I have told everyone about it.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Leaving at least a stack of 5 coffee filters or so and disposable salt and pepper shakers/packets would have been a welcome consideration as complimentary staple items for the kitchen. The living room upholstered furniture is showing wear and stained though the color choices were up to date. The deck furniture was not comfortable for 4 adults. The 4 older adults staying preferred regular chairs vs pub height chairs. The view and convenience cannot be beat! The updated fitness center, pool and chair setup is impeccable, staff super helpful, elevators ran well, the cleanliness of the facility, safety, and maintenance so appreciated. We appreciate the friendliness of the residents and renters every time we stay at Gulfgate too.

So close to the beach, views are amazing, condo is comfortable
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Even better than expected! Destin Gulfgate was recommended by friends. Not disappointed at all. Lots of space in every room. King bed was very comfortable. The two queens were a little hard for my taste but my daughter slept great. Living room was comfortable. But the highlight for me was the balcony and the view. Beyond wonderful, be it full sun or stormy. I never got tired of it. You don't need to actually go to the beach because you feel you are there(only being 5 floors up). So close to the water's edge and the sound of the Gulf is so soothing. Property is centrally located, short drive to a lot of Destin destinations. Would highly recommend to everyone.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our stay at Destin Gulfgate! Everything was so easy. The staff were very kind and helpful. It was clean and quiet, and it was nice to have a beach that wasn't crowded. The only thing missing is a handicapped ramp down to the beach; hopefully, one of those will be installed. We had a great time, and we will be back!

Wonderful Trip
I have been to the panhandle many times since I live in Marietta GA. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law moved here from California. I was excited to have them experience the beauty of the Destin area. It did NOT disappoint.

the perfect place to relax
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property was perfect for what we wanted. It was beachfront with daily beach service. The views from the balcony were incredible when you weren't on the beach soaking up the sun or relaxing under the umbrellas. Having a full kitchen gave us the option to eat in when we wanted. Parking at the property was easy and there are tons of great restaurants in close proximity so eating out was easy as well. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have stayed at the Destin Gulfgate many times. Ideal location on beach, you can walk to the Back Porch, a Destin Legend for delicious seafood. Our unit was very clean, recently updated. The balcony is huge, spent a lot of time out there! Pool was spotless and heated. You are literally on the most beautiful beach in the world. I love that you don’t have to walk thru acres of other buildings to get to the beach.

2021. Fall Destin Trip
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: There were some issues. My wife is disabled. We had inquired about walk-in shower but failed to ask about beds. The master BR bed was too high for her to access. We notified the desk and they swapped rooms. The new room had a lower bed that my wife could access. The master BR had no grab bars to assist use. During our stay a commode broke and the staff promptly installed a replacement. The staff was great in working with us. We learned to ask more questions concerning disability access. We had never encountered the bef heighth problem previously.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Each time we visit Destin we try to stay at Gulfgate b/c we love the location. This time our condo was #503. It is very nice but there were a couple of things that we wished we could have changed. First, the low seated commodes and second the cloth living room furniture. Its just a preference especially b/c of the pandemic. Otherwise, this condo was perfect!
