About this property

Best Value on Destin's Scenic Gulf Drive with Private Beach!

Thanks for looking at our VRBO listing! You will notice that our condo is one of the quickest to book of all of the Gulfview units. Why? Because over 90% of our guests stay with us each and every year due to:

(1) our value-based rental pricing.,
(2) our meticulously clean unit!

Both the bedroom and the living room have new flat screen televisions!

The kitchen has a new refrigerator, new dishwasher, new flatware/utensils, new dishes and new pots & pans!.

Gulfview II Condominium is a charming three-story building with 350 feet of deeded beach, which is a very short (2 minute) walk across the street. This unit is a one bedroom with queen-size bed and hall bunks (two twin beds); the living room has a brand new premium comfort queen-size sofa sleeper.

The small private balcony has a slight Gulf view depending on the courtyard vegetation. (Don't rent this place for the view....rent it for the value!)

There are two pools, one heated and a hot tub on premises. There is a washer and dryer (accepts credit cards) on each floor of the complex.

Please come relax and enjoy our beautiful beaches. No pets and no smoking. At least one guest must be age 25 or older and show proof of age prior to check-in.

Great Location

We had a great stay! Location was amazing and easy access to the beach. Cons would have to be the shower needs some maintenance- the knob is really loose and can’t really get the water to a good temp you either take a hot hot shower or a cool shower. Overall was a good stay for me and my family.

Great place to stay!!!

This condo was everything we needed. Its conveniently located right across the street from the beach. I really liked that it has private access to the beach. The beach wasnt neatly as crowded here as it was to the leftvand right of the private area. Any future trips to Mirimar beach, ill definitly be looking to stay here again.

Very nice place!

Loved the property and the Condo was awesome! If any downside at all would be you can hear the people above you especially if they have kids. Not a big issue I would definitely recommend Chris's condo and would stay there again. It is right above the pool and hot tub. The walk to the beach is very short and don't forget it's a private beach. Kenny D's is just a short walk and great food.

Blackout curtains would make a huge difference in the bedroom. Not the property owners fault but the complex is extremely noisy. Definitely hear everything going on above you and outside.

Not a great stay.

Unit was pretty clean, but there looks to be some kind of big leak going on above bathroom and the ceiling looked saturated.. there was a rotten smell going on right between the doorway of the bathroom and kitchen (not sure if it was coming from the saturated ceiling or not?) The bedroom vent in the ceiling made an awful noise which made it almost impossible to sleep, along with the people above us making a ton of noise till 4 am.The Queen bed was uncomfortable..when you moved the whole bed frame shifted to where u thought it might collapse. The bathroom sink barely drained and the toilet felt like it was going to come off the floor. I reached out to the owner prior to our visit and never got a response and didn't hear from anyone our entire stay. Also, keep in mind the unit is by the pool and it was quite noisy..between that, the uncomfortable bed, the very noisy air vent in bedroom and noise above our unit we barely got any sleep and almost thought about leaving and getting a hotel room. I will say I was very surprised by all this because of the good reviews that was listed on this unit. I always make sure to book somewhere that gets really good reviews. We have been visiting Miramar Beach for 9 years now and have stayed many places and I have never wrote a negative review and really don't like to..but I feel this one is necessary. On a positive note, the location of this place is very convenient getting to the beach, parking is nice and property seems well maintained.

Nice but I Need to Add Additional Filters on my Next Search

Great location if you like the busier part of Destin. Its been about 9 years since my last beach visit and everywhere has seem to really grown up. I personally prefer the less crowded more secluded areas which this area used to be but has since become more popular. The condo was and clean, however no swimming pool or jazzcuzi but not the managers fault, it was just under maintenance. Was not thrilled with the back patio nor its view, but that was one thing I forgot to include on my search with vrbo. Luckily the ocean water was clear and beautiful. The area was right down from 30A so I was thinking it was going to be a little higher class crowds, but that was not the case. Still enjoyed our visit tremendously.

Great place, short walk to the beach

Great place to stay. The condo was clean and had everything we needed. The bunk beds in the hallway are an awesome use of space. The property was clean and on the quiet side. Walking distance to Kenny D’s restaurant. Property manager was great and made sure we were taken care of.

Best host ever

The place was super clean and I own a cleaning business myself so when I say it was clean.... it was clean, Chris is a very good host and was very responsive with any questions we had, the beach is just a minute walk across the street, pools were clean and there are lots of restaurants near by, grocery store and souvenir shops very close by as well. Everything you need is right here We will stay here again
