Destin Gulfgate

"Beautiful condo. We love coming to Destin Gulfgate.This is our 12th year."

"We've been here twice and love this place. The front desk is beyond helpful, the condos are very well furnished, the included beach chairs and umbrellas are very welcome. It's just awesome to wake up (to the sound of the ocean) and just walk down to the beach and not have to worry about driving anywhere, finding parking, and setting up an umbrella and chairs. The beach is beautiful and you can even reach the wifi from your beach chair. We can't wait to visit again."

"The condo was beautiful! Living room furniture and beds were very comfortable. View was amazing and location was great . This was a VRBO but managed by Gulfgate. Unfortunately, when we opened the door to the condo we were hit in the face with cigarette smoke. We checked in after the office was closed but I texted them immediately to let them know. I did not expect a response since they were closed but did go to the office the next morning. I was told the previous guest had left a candle burning and that was what the smell was from. I let her know I am allergic to cigarette smoke and thought the previous guest was using the candle to mask the odor. I was horribly congested, throat hurting and a headache. I was also not thrilled that my family was breathing in second hand smoke. I told her I knew this was a VRBO so I wasn't sure if it was possible to change condos. She said she would look but offered to send maintenance up to change the air filters. I even asked about an air purifier but told them I knew nothing about clearing smoke from a building. She said she didn't think it was smoke and just from the candle. All that was done to remedy the situation was air filters changed and air freshener sprayed in the condo. No one ever got back to me about moving spaces or to see if it was any better. I had to wash all the towels in the condo that weren't under a cabinet because they all smelled of cigarette smoke. Any clothes that we hung in the closet also smelled like smoke. We will never rent this unit again #804. I understand that you can't control what your guest do (smoking in the unit) but it will take some serious work to get that smell out of that unit. Once we got home we realized it was worse than we thought. All of our bags, coolers, jackets etc smelled of cigarettes' smoke and had to be washed if they could be or aired out if not. I think Gulfgate should have made some accommodation to make this right. Their rental agreement says the whole building is non smoking. We paid for a non smoking condo. And we paid what we feel is good money to get what was advertised and what our signed rental agreement said. They did not hold up to their end of the agreement."

"This is really 4 1/2 stars the room was great, not ready by 5 the pool is a bit small and unimpressive. The staff was friendly and helpful this facility could use another amenity to enhance a visitor’s stay. The beach was private and not bunched and crowded. The facility itself was quite and not crowded. I recommend this place and I will be back."

"Great place to stay for Spring Break 2022. Gated and not crowded at all. Family friendly ❤"
