The condo is great. We were there during the scare of Issac. We didnt get to enjoy the beach as much as we would have liked,they were closed due to the high wind and waves. Thank goodness for the 2 pools and the hot tub. Seth even called to check on us during the storm.It was unbeleavable to stand on the patio and watch the waves from across the street. We hope to return next year, hopefully no tropical storm next time.

Not what i expected

Review submitted: August 22, 2012   Date of arrival: August 4, 2012

This vacation rental was definitely not what i expected. From all of the other reviews it seemed it would be very nice for my boyfriend and I. I do not normally complain but i feel that i spent enough for the week and it was NOT worth it. I dont even know where to begin. When we first arrived after driving 12 hours i was exhausted and just wanted to go to bed. Well that couldn't happen because when i pulled the sheets down there was a big blood stain on the sheet as well as a ton of sand in the bed. When i went into the closet to try and find more linen, all of it was rumpled in balls and seemed not to be clean. There was an extra mattress cover and bottom sheet that were still inside of eachother, like someone just took them off the bed and threw them in the closet. The comforter looked and smelled like it hadnt been washed in months. I ended up putting blankets that i had brought with me on top of the bed because i couldnt use there linens. There were burn holes on the pillow cases as well. I turned on the tv and there was a pornographic video playing in the DVD player. (completely rediculous!) There were cigarette buds on the floor in the bedroom along with hair balls and candy wrappers. The middle post in the bed is broken. Makes loud sounds every time one of us turned over. I woke up the next morning to make coffee. Opened the coffee maker and there was an old coffee filter along with old coffee grounds in it.(Gross!) I washed it and made coffee. The coffee maker leaked all over the counter and ruined my brand new purse. Started putting groceries away and pulled the drawers out of the refrigerator and there was sticky stuff all underneath the drawers, it was obvious something big had spilled and no one cleaned it up. It rained hard one of the last days and the window in the living room leaked water all over the floor. There was a HUGE puddle in the middle of the floor and got our bags and stuff all wet. There is no carpet( 2 door mats and a small rug in bathroom)in the entire condo so make sure you bring house shoes or you will feel like your walking on a locker room floor all week. There was no kitchen towels so make sure you bring your own. There were only 4 bath towels for the entire week so make sure you take your own as well. Yes the location is nice but if it rains alot like it did our week, the condo is the last place you want to be. I have stayed in far better places for the same amount of money. I was extremely dissatisfied with this place

Great Condo! Will Definitely Consider Returning!

We rented this condo as our place to stay while we got married/honeymooned in Miramar Beach and we COULDN'T HAVE BEEN HAPPIER! The wedding was beautiful and we loved our stay at Gulfview. The description of the condo was very accurate, and the room was in a great spot with one of the pools right outside the door. You would think that with the pool right there that there would be a lot of noise, but we didn't hear a thing. Property was very clean and well-maintained with the exception of the dishwasher leaking some. The beach was not too far away either, being right across the street. The owner, Seth, was VERY VERY nice and accommodating and we will definitely try to rent with him again! I would HIGHLY recommend this property and this owner!!!! We personally stayed in most of the time, but we did go to McGuirre's for our wedding night and it was a blast! Definitely recommend going there—their food's pretty good and their service is awesome!

We had a wonderful time in Destin and thoroughly enjoyed the condo - especially its location!!! Have my Mom with me who couldn't do stairs well - so being on the ground level was perfect! Then to walk out the door and be right at the pool with very each beach access ... what more could we ask for!!! Also with 3 teenage girls - they could be at the pool and I could physically see them without having to sit out there with them the entire time. Great spot!!!

Awesome Condo and Beautiful Vacation! Thanks! :)

Review submitted: September 24, 2011   Date of arrival: September 18, 2011

We absolutely loved our stay at this condo and it was perfect for our family! :) We are on a budget being teachers and the owners worked with us to negotiate a very good rate to make our vacation possible. We definitely want to come back for our next vacation to Destin and Gulfview. I have been visiting Destin since I was a little girl and now our daughter gets to enjoy the beach and the gorgeous fun-in-the-sun experience. This condo at Gulfview was our favorite and the best for us. This unit is in the very front and close to the pool, grill, laundry and it is very clean and fully stocked with everything you need. It was absolutely wonderful! Thanks again and God Bless! :)

Really close to the beach, great location!

Teresa (Neosho Mo,)
Review submitted: July 27, 2011   Date of arrival: June 25, 2011

The best three things about this condo is proximity to the beach,(less than 75 yards), pool outside the door and great galley kitchen. The bike and walking path outside the complex is super and we walked or rode our bikes every day. The patio out front is shady almost constantly and had cool ocean breezes. You do need to take several things with you as it was not as well furnished as others we have stayed in. Here are a few musts- rug for shoes by back door, washcloths (there were only 2 furnished and we stayed a week), toiletries, paper towels, non-stick skillet, dish towel and cloth. Also, a couple of cleaning rags and a cleaning solution for the tub.
This is an older condo, has a great updated kitchen, but rest of condo needs some updating. We had a few issues; the closet door was very hard to open, and we couldnt use that space (which we needed), the bath/shower was dark and slow to drain, the sofa bed mattress needs replaced.
Even though we had these issues, overall, the pluses of the condo allowed us to overlook the minuses. IMPORTANT: Read the manual in condo, you need a code for the beach gate, and I was locked out on patio the first evening.
Don't miss some of our favorite bars and restarants- Red Bar in Grayton Beach, Royal Orchard Thai, McGuires Irish Pub, and by taking a left out of the parking lot-go to Busters-not great on decor-but great food and drinks. Oysters on the half shell M-F 5-6pm $1.99. Key lime pie is yummy too!
If you haven't been to the emerald coast beaches you are in for a treat. Soft, white, cool sand. Blue-green stunning water. You won't want to leave!

Great Deal for the Price!

Hard to tell your location by the pictures on this site. However, You are about 75 yds from the PVT Beach Gate. This is close & VERY easy beach access. Some of the most beautiful beach area you will find. The view of the ocean is from the outside patio facing the beach side. You are not directly on the beach, as a small road separates you from the beach access. Their are condos directly across the street & you cannot see the ocean directly from there. You can see the ocean while standing on the patio back to the left, as seen in the picture. There is also a great bike/jogging/walking trail that runs along this small road. With the Bike rental shop about 3/4 of a mile down the road, this was perfect.

The non-heated pool is directly in front of your front door. There is a heated pool & jacuzzi close by too. The two charcoal grills are 10 ft to the left of your front door. The PAY washer & dryer is right next to the grill. There were lots of Spring Breakers around & we never heard a peep out of them (inside the condo). You are in the most secluded condo that I saw.

There are restaurants/convenience/gift shops within walking distance. We drove to a place called Busters for $1.99 Oysters per dozen (served every weekday between 5-6)almost daily. Their Gumbo was AWESOME too! about a 3 mile drive.

The beds & TVs could be better. However, the kitchen is stocked with great HARDWARE supplies.

Overall it is a GREAT value for the price. We recommend this condo.

We absolutely loved our time at this condo! It really felt like a home away from home. We took full advantage of having a stocked kitchen on vacation and the grills being right outside the door. And it was so easy to walk right across the street and lay on the beach all day, never having to move the car! We will absolutely be staying at your condo again!

We absolutely loved staying at this condo. It was like a home away from home. We ended up staying an extra day! The location is wonderful with the beach even closer than I had imagined. It was very clean and comfortable. We loved the pool and laundry facility being right outside the door. I also recommend eating at Pompano Joe's which is right down the road on the beach.
This is a very family friendly place so if you have kids, it's perfect. Just a side note, we went parasailing at Just Chute Me and had a fantastic experience.
