We had a wonderful stay!! The property was equipped with everything you could need and the beach access was so easy. The first floor location was really awesome for enjoying the beach/pool and the daily complimentary beach service (chairs and umbrella) was awesome. So many restaurants and things to do within close distance. The beach and views were beautiful! We’d definitely return to the area and would be happy to stay at the Destin Gulfgate again. Jeffry was easy to communicate with and provided us with helpful information for family excursions. We spent 7 nights with kids ages 12, 14, and 17. Definitely a great place to vacation! Thank you.

This place was five star. Everything was clean, the beds were so comfy. Jeffry anticipated our every need, both in check-in and in the stay. The couches and chairs were inviting. The balcony was amazing. We only put about 16 miles on our car for the four days we there because everything was so close and convenient. Our one-year-old grandson thoroughly enjoyed the pool, as we did we.We loved our visit and plan to come back!!!

About the host

Hosted by Jeffry W. Armstrong

Host profile image
We are a 'divided' household with one from 'Ole Miss' and one from 'Mississippi State'. Both of us started coming to Destin for vacations when we were just kids and NOW in our next 'kid' life, we spend about 50% of our time either fishing or 'beaching' in Destin.

Why they chose this property

Location! Location! Location! That describes Destin Gulfgate perfectly. Destin Gulfgate is right in the middle of Destin....It is close to everything. We also bought into Gulfgate because of the quality of construction and the size of the units. Since our family likes to cook, we thought that the size of the kitchen allowed for family gathering in planning and executing the preparation of meals. Gulfgate is a community that is willing to work to keep the property at its very best with up to date amenities for its owners and rental guests.

What makes this property unique

Since Destin Gulfgate is only 65 units, its 465 feet of beachfront property.....right on the Gulf of Mexico, allows for everyone using our beach to be comfortable and not crowded. We have one of the best beach services available in Destin and your beach set up of two chairs and a umbrella will be calling you from the time you get up in the morning until the sun is almost going down. The new zero-entrance swimming pool and fitness center will be on your list of MUST DOs!!! Don't forget that with weather permitting, leave your sliding door open to get the benefit of the gentle wave action putting you to sleep at night.......what a great asset of being on the first floor(second level)........also being able to just use the stairway(and not go through the office or use the elevator) is something that makes one feel like they are in an island paradise all to themselves. Some of the other activities that you will enjoy outside, but close to our condo are the following:
The Track Amusement Park is just a very short walk across the street. The Big Kahuna's Water Park is less than 1 mile down the 98 Highway. The Destin Harbor Fishing Fleet, the largest Charter Boat port in Florida, is less than 2 miles away and we can offer good tips on who to charter with. There are 12 World Class Golf courses in the area as well as an easy public course. Destin Commons Village Shopping has many great shops, Bass Pro Shop, Hard Rock Cafe, Bonefish Grill, a Rave Movie theater and others nearby. Silver Shells Outlet Center, the largest Designer Outlet shopping in is within a few miles. One of the newer Italian restaurants is only a mile away. Put it on your list for sure.........'MIMMOS'
