Nicely decorated with everything you need. Would stay in this unit again.
This unit is elegant and very spacious!
Excellent and secure location with convenient access to the beach, pool, and fitness center. The balcony is huge with excellent views of the beach and ocean. Easily one of the largest and most beautiful units in Destin.
Couldn't be happier with the condo. Location was a given but the condo was fantastic on top of everything else!! Thanks for the memories

Reviewer Comments:
We loved it - what a view! Very clean, modern, extremely well-furnished! Bed was so comfortable, gonna get a mattress for our home just like it! Living room furniture comfortable - if I have one criticism, it is the TV cable hookup - very complicated to use. We stream almost everything, and it wasn't easy to get the TV off of the cable and over to the streaming apps. But man, this place is hard to beat for us!

Reviewer Comments:
We were in Unit 502, which was very nice. The balcony furniture is the best we have ever seen at a rental condo! The Gulfgate staff were very friendly and helpful. We would recommend two things: The living room TV needs written, specific instructions. With three remotes it took us three days to figure it out. It's a combination of two of the remotes. The second item we suggest is to add grab bars in both showers. We're mid-seventies and would have felt more comfortable having those. Otherwise this is a wonderful unit. We always enjoy going to the Back Porch Restaurant. Our favorite restaurant, though, is the Donut Hole, just up the road toward the Harbor. We did not make it there for breakfast, which we understand is awesome. We did have lunch there. I had the French dip and potato salad. Both were the best I've ever had.

The best possible property! Spacious, clean, high ceilings, fully furnished, fully stocked. The property's beach is one of the most private around. Rent comes with two chairs, an umbrella and a covered parking spot. It is walking distance to great restaurants and the Arcade, which our children enjoyed. The owners of this property seem to really care. We loved it and plan to come back.
