Reviewer Comments:
The unit was meticulously clean, well-equipped and with a great view. The only issue I had was the lack of truly hot water for the master bath/shower. The other bathroom was fine, but it took 10 minutes just to get lukewarm in the master.
This condo was amazing! All new appliances and decor throughout. Very clean. Best place we have stayed at in years! Will definitely be back!

Reviewer Comments:
My family had an incredible experience at Gulfgate. During the busiest time of year (the week of July 4th) we were able to unwide and enjoy this special oasis. The complex is the perfect size to prevent overcrowding, and they make sure everyone gets to enjoy the incredible beach by preventing people from setting up in front of each other. Our unit felt luxurious, and Ican’t wait to share this hidden gem with other family members in the future.

We had an amazing experience at Destin Gulfgate in unit 404. The unit was so beautifully decorated and worked great for our family of 5. Having the beach service included with our stay was awesome and made everyday stress free knowing that we already had a prime position on the beach. The pool at Gulfgate was great for both kids and adults. After hours check-in and check-out was super simple. We hope to one day come back!

This was our first time at the Destin Gulfgate and we had time of our life. We were lucky to have picked a unit that was recently renovated and included a covered parking! The unit had upgraded bathrooms, kitchen appliances and had tasteful decor. Check in/out was a breeze and the front desk staff was very helpful. Special shoutout to maintenance guy Mike-friendly and helpful. Overall, very clean, organized, quite and great location. Will definitely come back.

We had a fantastic time in Room 404 at Destin Gulfgate. The condo renovations are top notch. You can tell that the owners put a lot of thought into how to make the condo wonderful. It was so convenient to relax at the beach, pool, and condo with our young children. The reserved parking spot for this unit is right by the beach so you can easily store your beach items in or by your car. We really appreciated that Destin Gulfgate set out a reserved beach umbrella and chairs for us everyday. This condo is perfect for a family vacation.

This is our 3rd time staying in Destin Gulfgate and we love this place. Unit 404 was by far the most beautiful unit we’ve stayed in. The views from the balcony are stunning and the condo was recently renovated. It had everything we could possibly need to have a memorable vacation. Loved the new high-tech appliances. We will definitely be returning soon!

The location was perfect, close to everything. The views from the large patio are amazing. A better mattress in the main bedroom would have been nice (it’s way too soft for our liking) but other than that, everything was wonderful. We would definitely stay here again!

Reviewer Comments:
We’ve stayed at the Gulfgate for 15 years or so. It’s always such a great experience. This year we stayed in unit 404, and it was absolutely beautiful! The unit is perfectly remodeled and perfect for a family vacation!
This is a beautiful condo just steps from the beach. It has everything you need for your stay and you can’t beat the view from the huge balcony. The kitchen is stocked, the linens are great, and the furniture is cute and comfy. The four of us fit more than comfortably and we had plenty of space. The best part was the view and the sounds of the waves crashing just feet from you!
The only thing I would change would be putting black out curtains in the first bedroom. The windows look directly out on to the walkway which is lit all night long. It lights the room up and is a bit annoying.
