We loved everything about this property! Check-in a breeze, the house is spacious and had everything too accommodate our family! We had an issue with the hot water when we arrived due to a storm power outage. I contacted Mitch and he had someone out and fixed the problem within the hour. We will definitely stay here again!

The house is immaculate. The rooms are comparable in size, and overall very comfortable. Anything that you may have thought you needed was provided...beach towels, beach gear, carts, beach toys, pool floats, a grill, a steamer for your clothes, fully stocked kitchen, ice maker....the list could go on. Property management was responsive and informative. We had a great time! It's been almost two weeks since we visited Destin, and we're still talking about it. Already making plans for next year!!!!

Five stars! First off, the photos online don't even do it justice—the home is way larger in person than the pictures portray! The layout is incredible, featuring eight extra-large bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. One of the bedrooms has four queen bunkbeds, which was an absolute hit for the girls celebrating a Sweet 16; they loved spending the week bonding in that setup.The main living spaces are huge and welcoming, including a beautiful living room with a large flat-screen TV and a massive kitchen with plenty of seating for our entire group. Outdoors, the property continues to impress with a wonderful pool and Jacuzzi, tons of lawn chairs for lounging, and a full supply of beach essentials—including chairs, umbrellas, and toys.Location-wise, you are literally steps from the beach and can easily walk down every single day. On top of the fantastic home, the owners were exceptionally responsive and helpful. They handled any questions we had immediately and gave us fantastic local recommendations for restaurants, shopping, and activities around Destin.We would highly recommend this home to any large group planning a trip. We had an amazing stay and cannot wait to book this house again in the future!

Our stay at Gather at the Gulf was excellent from start to finish. We enjoyed ourselves immensely. The property was beautiful and I'm excellent condition as advertised. The host was so helpful and continuously checked in. The beach was less than 5 mins away and easy to access. We would definitely come back again. Thank you for making our first trip to Destin so memorable.
