Mar 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Beautiful, very clean, but.. This property is absolutely beautiful and VERY clean. Everything was as described but there is a lot of traffic and tourists attractions across the street so the noise inside the condo was a bit too much for me. Every night there were cars and/or motorcycles revving their engines for long periods of time which made it hard to sleep in the room facing the front of the building. That’s literally the only complaint I have. The view of the ocean is amazing and both bathrooms were recently remodeled. ##### Michele D.

Reviewer Comments: If we go back to Destin again, which we plan to do, we will stay at at Unit 1005 at Gulfgate if possible. WE thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were even entertained by aircraft from Eglin or other area military bases. We have a fly by of 2 Apache helicopters perhaps 100 yards off the beach, below our room level. Several jet fighters and transports flew by, following the beach, not quite as close as the helicopters. Even had a P-51 Mustang zip by. ##### David Tosch T.

The beach unit was gorgeous and one of our all time favorite rentals as it offered an amazing beach view, perfect location and open floor space. We caught it during Maintenance and upgrades and during a cold front which impacted our beach/pool and activities of our stay and yet we still had a wonderful time and hated to leave.

Have already recommended Gulfgate to my friends. Can’t wait to come back!!! ##### A guest from Springfield, TN ### 8/10 Good #### Sara W. Oct 28, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Convenient location Convenient to restaurants and shopping. Beach was beautiful and chair service was great. Our boys loved the heated pool. It was perfect for little ones. The location is a bit noisy though. ##### Sara W.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family and I visit Destin every summer. This stay has been the best by far! The check in staff were awesome, the room looked exactly like the pictures, and the view was amazing. My husband typically prefers to stay on lower level floors but he asked that I book the same room for next year's vacation. It was very warming as our home away from home. The complimentary happy hour was also a plus! ##### Cristal P. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jane B.

It was a beautiful condo and had everything we needed. We fully enjoyed our stay. ##### Jane B.

I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stay here every year, prices have definitely increased so our stay was a lot shorter. The unit we stayed in seemed dated. We didn't have enough toilet paper so had to use our own. Washer was awful, very noisy and sounded like it was on it's last leg. The couch was dirty with black hair in it. I took a picture and it looked worn. There was a stained pillow on the couch and the rugg looked worn. One night I walked out on the balcony and almost slipped, luckily I noticed that there was some sort of red liquid on the railing and the tile. I notified the management and they sent someone to clean it, however, the balcony railing was still dirty. It kinda looked like someone above through a drink over their railing and it fell down on ours or someone was sick and puked! Anyway, I hate to give bad reviews as we absolutely love this place and want to purchase a unit for ourselves one day, but I will not be reserving this one again. Thanks and have a great day. We plan to come back in September or October for a longer, cheaper time...we will see which unit we choose. Hopefully the owners will care enough to make it right with us as we paid a lot of money for only 4 days, three nights. We love Destin and plan to make it our home one day! ##### Rhonda H. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hammock Beach Golf Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Daytona-Beach-Hotels-Hammock-Beach-Golf-Resort-Spa.h994170.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Resort Panama City Beach by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Panama-City-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Resort-Panama-City-Beach.h18867.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club in Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Miramar-Beach-Hotels-Embarc-Sandestin.h1054729.Hotel-Information) > > [Pink Shell Beach Resort and Marina](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Myers-Hotels-Pink-Shell-Beach-Resort-And-Marina.h15603.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Fort Pierce West by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Vero-Beach-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hotel-Suites-Fort-Pierce-West.h538557.Hotel-Information) > > [Zota Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Sarasota-Hotels-Zota-Beach-Resort.h15703469.Hotel-Information) > > [PGA National Resort ](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Gardens-Hotels-PGA-National-Resort-And-Spa.h10355.Hotel-Information) > > [DiamondHead Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Myers-Hotels-DiamondHead-Beach-Resort.h200632.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahama House](https://www.expedia.ca/Daytona-Beach-Hotels-Bahama-House.h893658.Hotel-Information) > > [Sarasota Surf and Racquet Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Sarasota-Hotels-Sarasota-Surf-And-Racquet-Club.h9728448.Hotel-Information) > > [Mission Resort and Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Leesburg-Hotels-Mission-Inn-Resort-Club.h2057662.Hotel-Information) > > [Cedar Cove Resort and Cottages](https://www.expedia.ca/Sarasota-Hotels-Cedar-Cove-Resort-And-Cottages.h8099611.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ben West Palm, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/West-Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Ben-West-Palm.h38983694.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Del Mar Longboat Key](https://www.expedia.ca/Sarasota-Hotels-Casa-Del-Mar-Longboat-Key.h15602940.Hotel-Information) > > [Compass Hotel by Margaritaville Anna Maria Sound](https://www.expedia.ca/Sarasota-Hotels-Compass-Hotel-By-Margaritaville.h41961327.Hotel-Information) > > [South Seas Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Myers-Hotels-South-Seas-Island-Resort.h40732.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Beach House Key West](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-West-Hotels-Margaritaville-Beach-House-Key-West.h48713884.Hotel-Information) > > [White Elephant Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-West-Palm-Beach-Hotels-White-Elephant-Palm-Beach.h42412055.Hotel-Information) > > [Edgewater Beach & Golf Resort by Resort Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Panama-City-Hotels-Edgewater-Beach-And-Golf-Resort-By-Resort-Collection.h803238.Hotel-Information) > > [Amrit Ocean Resort and Residences - Singer Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-West-Palm-Beach-Hotels-Amrit-Ocean-Wellness-Resort.h36247449.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Vacation Club Daytona Beach Regency](https://www.expedia.ca/Daytona-Beach-Hotels-Hilton-Vacation-Club-Daytona-Beach-Regency.h40772.Hotel-Information) > > [Legacy Vacation Resorts Palm Coast](https://www.expedia.ca/Daytona-Beach-Hotels-Legacy-Vacation-Resorts-Palm-Coast.h1151272.Hotel-Information) > > [Tropic Sun Towers](https://www.expedia.ca/Daytona-Beach-Hotels-Tropic-Sun-Towers-By-Capital-Vacations.h1169627.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Naples-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Coconut-Point-Resort-Spa.h792025.Hotel-Information) > > [The Resort on Cocoa Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-The-Resort-On-Cocoa-Beach.h329971.Hotel-Information) > > [The Resort at Longboat Key Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Sarasota-Hotels-The-Resort-At-Longboat-Key-Club.h27542.Hotel-Information) > > [Windsor Island Luxury | Home in Windsor Island Resort, Private Pool, Arcade](https://www.expedia.ca/Davenport-Hotels-Windsor-Island-Luxury-Home-In-Windsor-Island-Resort.h60809096.Hotel-Information) > > [The Shores Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Daytona-Beach-Hotels-The-Shores-Resort-Spa.h15752.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h4398.Hotel-Information)
