First time to Destin - and we will be back. Convenient location for easy access to your own private beach and pool. Loved the beach and white sand, and how they spaced the chairs out to follow social distancing.

We have stayed at Gulfgate Condominiums 7 or 8 times over the last several years and each stay has been enjoyable. Great location & within walking distance of one of Destin’s most popular restaurants. All units have over 1,400 sq. ft. and a large balcony. Beach umbrella & chairs are included. We have stayed at 3 other locations in Destin & this is our favorite. Highly recommend.

This is our 9th year at Destin Gulfgate and first year for unit 206 which we loved! We will definitely request it again. We loved Destin Gulfgate as it's never as crowded as other condos and the guests are quiet and respectful. Love no smoking on beach! Unit was well furnished and decorated and very clean. Best place to get away from it all!

This was a great condo and complex! It was described perfectly, clean and well stocked. Everything worked just as expected, no issues. Very impressed with Gulfgate. Friendly staff, always asking if you need assistance and eager to help. Pool, beach chairs & umbrella included, parking are all great. We would definitely return to Gulfgate and to unit 206.

We enjoyed our family vacation this year with our whole family in 3 different units. Our family have been coming here since 2013. The staff has always been helpful and amazing. Every unit we have stayed in is always very clean. The pool and surrounding areas is always clean and never crowded. And the beach set up is perfect. We will be back next year!
This place was not only clean and smelled amazing upon entry, it had an AMAZING view . We sat on our balcony and watched dolphins swimming right in front of us! Didn't matter what time of day, we saw these amazing creatures and they kept us entertained.

Very nice and clean condo!! We enjoyed our stay and the accommodations were perfect!
This condo is right on the beach with a wondrous view of the ocean. Sitting out on the balcony every day to enjoy the sunrise and sunset was our favorite part. The kitchen is very well equipped. Wanted for nothing. Comfy beds. Wanted to stay forever but only a short stay sadly. Would come back again. Thank you for the stay!
