The heated pool was clean and very comfortable. Had a light burn out over stove and another small issue and the response after notifying building staff was impressive. They were there within 10 minutes to check the situation.

Not what photos advised. Very sketchy place and didn’t even sleep there and still didn’t get a full refund. Went with the family ended paying more for another place and even my 8 year old thought we were in a bad place. No one answered my calls or question until the following week.

I must admit that I was a little skeptical pulling into the property. Seemed a little old and outdated. I was pleasantly surprised when we got to our room. Room was nicely renovated and up to date. We had a very nice stay at Gulf Terrace. I would book again, if u were to return to Destin, Florida.

Comfortable and nicely decorated

My stay at Gulf Terrace was great. Clean, comfortable beds, close to everything. It was too cold for me to try the pool and I didn't have time to walk to the beach but the condo itself was very nice. Neighbors were quiet and walls were thick. Only thing i didn't like was that the door is security code only. No deadbolt or secondary locking mechanism. It felt safe enough but i would have preffered another lock.

Amazing!!!

Everything was nice and clean and organized as far as the inside the condo. It was a bit confusing when first arriving because the numbering of condos were a bit strange as far as the order they were in. I feel like the numbers of the buildings should be placed in both front and back of the building cause it would have made things much easier to find. But overall the experience was great. Location is amazing because you are literally near everything there is to do. I’ll definitely be back😊

This was the best airb&b experienced ive ever had, and ive rented a few home away from home before, they had the amenities and easy comfort that i could have imagine in that condo, i would say that was a class A accommodation and would recommend any and all of my friends to try this company, I'm coming back next year for sure.

Don't Stay Here

This property needs updating. The pool areas are run down and a lot of the condo buildings need work. For Destin to be a beautiful beach town, this place is an eye sore. The unit itself was nice upon entry but as we tried to unpack it was becoming clear the place had not been cleaned or maintained. Dirty dishes and cabinets, broken drawers, broken window shades, broken towel racks, hair (not ours), wood rot on patio, dusty surfaces and the list goes on.
