Photos and Description of the Destin Gulfgate vacation condo rental
Condo, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths, (Sleeps 2-6)

The Seafarer is one of the few low rise condos in Destin. Directly on the beach, it has only 3 floors in the building. This 2 bedroom unit is located on the west corner for beautiful gulf sunset views from the balconies in the living room downstairs and a second beachfront balcony in the master bedroom upstairs.

The beautiful 300 foot white sand beach of Destin is a few feet from your balcony and is accessed easily by using the stairs or elevator. The Track amusement park is just across the street. Walmart is a few blocks away. This condominium is located between the Grand Mariner condominium and the Back Porch restaurant.

There are several excellent restaurants in walking distance. Golfing is available nearby. There are 2 king-size beds and a sleeper sofa. This condominium overlooks the pool and hot tub as well as the beach. This unit has just been refurbished with new paint and appliances, new beds and mattresses and the new granite kitchen counters and wet bar. Professionally decorated, the property is available for the first time in 2011.

Keywords: Remodeled and direct on the beach. Beautiful west end corner unit in the heart of Destin. Walking distance to family fun parks, restaurants and shops. The best location!

About The Owner

I'm a marketing consultant and travel all over. I rarely have time to plan in advance for my own personal time and decided I would like to find a place for people just like me. No hassle, no worrying about parking, getting to restaurants, or a spot on the beach no matter what time of day.

The Owner purchased this condo in 2011
Why The Owner chose Destin Gulfgate

I wanted someplace direct on the beach so I can literally walk out the door and be there. I didn't want to have to ride a tram or trolley, walk through a lobby or across the street. This one of the few small complexes on the beach and it's all about the beach for me!!!

What makes this condo unique

I love the beach front location. You can listen to the waves and watch the ocean and people all day. With private access code protected access to the beach the crowds are small and there's always room. The private complex pool and hot tub at beach level are great year round.

We have visited the Destin area several times. It is a beautiful area and still our favorite beach in the mainland states. I was familiar with the location of the Seafarer. The fact that it is a low rise unit and directly on the beach was exactly what I was looking for.

It was a beautiful and updated unit. The living space and a bedroom are on the second floor and the master bedroom on the third. It is perfect for two couples. Destin gets very crowded. However, we noticed that beach in front of the Seafarer was less so. It was much more conjested in the area of the Pelican Beach resort and the larger high rise condominiums. It almost seemed like we had our own private beach. The weather the first couple of days was cooler than we liked but we also know if you visit that area of Florida in March that is the chance you take. The last two days of our stay were beautiful. If you have never visited the Destin area the traffic can be a nightmare. Another big plus to staying at the Seafarer for us is that there is a light,making it easier to enter and exit.

Chris was wonderful to work with. He contacted me immediately after I made a request about his unit. We were in touch a few times before our trip and I received an email a couple of days before we left.
His unit is by far the nicest one that we have stayed in while visiting the Destin area. We will definitely stay here again. Thank-you Chris.

Wow...this view will leave you speechless...maybe you'll be able to cough out "wow"! I have been to the Destin/Fort Walton area many times and in lots of different condos~I have never had a bad one, but I have to say that Seafarer 201 has been my favorite because of the setting. Both the living room and the Master bedroom (upstairs) afford a breathtaking view of the beach and the ocean. The first day that we were there we had a big thunderstorm (and tornado warning!) and I just sat out on the balcony and reveled in it~so gorgeous. The condo was clean and comfortable. They had a storage closet with lots of beach paraphenalia (toys and such), which makes it nice if you don't have enough room to pack your own! I hope to return soon, and am recommending this location to my parents (and hoping that I might hitch a ride with them when they go ;) Chris, the owner, was very helpful, as were the building manager and the ResortQuest management (we needed replacement lights in the kitchen). The condo is in the heart of Destin~you can walk or bike to lots of places close by. Don't miss the CandyMaker for BREAKFAST...great biscuits!

We Just loved this condo. It was great being right on the beach!! It made playing on the beach easy since we had some much stuff to carry out there. We have 2 girls (2 and 4) and they loved the pool and hot tub. My favorite part was being able to watch the dolphins from our balcony while drinking my coffee. My husband's favorite part was being able to walk to Back Porch to eat dinner. We also recommend the Candy Maker store across from Back porch. It was nice for Breakfast. The location of this condo was great. We were so close to a lot of great restaurants and shopping and Walmart(for all your grocery needs). I highly recommend this condo to anyone wanting to have the perfect Destin vacation. we will be back!!!!

We loved the condo! We are very picky about cleanliness and were pleased at how clean the condo was when we arrived. We loved everything about it. The view, location, beach service, and the fact that being a smaller complex, our beach was not as crowded as others. We also enjoyed the Back Porch and Candy Maker, both of which are in walking distance from the condo. The owner answered all of our questions promptly, as did Resort Quest. We could not have been more pleased. We highly recommend!

Myself, husband, bother-in-law and his wife had reservations the Seafarer 201 for 3 nights, but we had so much fun we extended it a night and hated to leave. The condo was amazing and looked as good or better than the pictures. We were so close to the beach we did not have to leave our condo to experience the ocean. Slept every night with the doors open and the fabulous sound of the surf. The Destin location was idea across 98 from Walmart, Destin Commons and 10 minutes from the outlet mall and next door to the Back Porch which was OK but probably best for lunch. Don't miss Dewy Destin's, Harbor Docks and Sexton's Seafood market to buy your fish and shrimp. Heard Louisiana Lagniappe was wonderful also. The hut on the beach, east of the, Seafarer had great drinks and grilled burgers. The grilling deck, pool and hot tub were convenient. We are from Little Rock and found out the owner lives about 5 minutes from us. The owner was very accommodating but we felt Resort Quest was too busy to give us directions and/or answer questions. We can't wait to go back and planning our next trip to Seafarer 201.

My wife and I went down to Destin for 3 nights during my week off for fall break (middle school teacher). This was my first time to use VRBO; it won't be my last. The owner was friendly and helpful as were the folks at ResortQuest. This condo had more space than we needed, but we enjoyed having a balcony off the bedroom as well as the living room. The unit was updated, clean, and well furnished. Pluses - beach access, view from the balconies, sunrises, sunsets, access to the Back Porch restaurant, easy access to Hwy 98 and the rest of Destin. Minuses - having to leave.

Spent 4 nights and enjoyed every one!! Condo is very well decorated and very clean. Nice to have covered parking and the elevator. The condo is so close to everything and especially being right on the beach. Just a short walk to The Backporch which was great. Beautiful water plus the most beautiful sunrise and sunset. Definitely will make reservations again at Seafarer.

Wonderful Birthday Stay at Seafarer

Submitted: September 14, 2011 Stayed: August 2011
Property owner - Seafarer 201,

I apologize for taking so long to post my review. We had an excellent time and the accommodations were perfect. I only travel to the area once a year, but will guarantee that I would love to stay exactly where we were again. We walked down the beach until we coudnt see your property anymore.....Seafarer had the cleanest, most pristine beaches that we walked on. It squeeked when our feet touched the ground. I actually slept on the patio one night....too much to not enjoy. We also met some friends on one of the sails...we are still in contact and are hoping to see each other again next year. What a great way to spend my birthday....dont know that it could have been more perfect. Hope to talk to you again next year!

Sincerely,

Shreveport

Fabulous!

Our stay here in August was nothing short of fabulous! This condo is clean and up to date with convenieces and decor! It was absolutely perfect for two families. When I began our search for a condo, there were very few that had 2 King size beds. Having a bedroom and full bath upstairs allowed for privacy between the two families, but at the same time you were able to have the fun experience of being on vacation together. With 2 little ones (10 mths and 18 mths) it was wonderful to be so close to the beach. The beach was beautiful and not crowded and we loved the convenience of having a restaurant (The Back Porch) so close by. We cannot wait for next summer to get back to Seafarer 201!! Thanks for sharing your condo!
