Gulfview II 130
Guest rating: 4.5 / 5
Overview
Gulfview II 130 is a ground-floor, 1-bedroom/1-bath condo unit within the Gulfview Condominiums complex, located directly across the street from Miramar Beach in Destin, Florida. The unit sleeps up to six guests and is professionally managed with 24/7 service. Note that guests under 25 are not permitted without an accompanying parent, and the complex restricts group rentals of more than three condos at a time.
Rooms & Layout
The unit features a queen bed in the master bedroom, twin bunk beds in the hall, and a sleeper sofa in the living room, making it suitable for couples or small families. A well-equipped kitchen with oven/stove, microwave, and standard appliances allows guests to prepare full meals on-site. Please note the unit's balcony is currently closed due to ongoing condominium association construction, expected to continue through approximately August 1, 2026.
Amenities & Recreation
Guests have exclusive access to 200 feet of private gated beach, a seasonally heated outdoor pool, a hot tub, and a grilling/outdoor patio area. In-unit comforts include air conditioning, heating, cable TV, free Wi-Fi, a washer, and free parking, and the property is described as wheelchair accessible. There is no elevator on-site, and golf carts are strictly prohibited within the complex.
Dining
While the condo has its own kitchen for self-catering, the surrounding area offers numerous dining options within walking distance, including Kenny D's bar & grill, Captain Dave's On the Gulf, and Pompano Joe's, all under a kilometer away. Several additional seafood and American restaurants, such as Crab Trap Destin, The Whale's Tail, and Outcast Seafood, are within a few kilometers.
Location & Surroundings
The property sits directly across from Miramar Beach with beach access, and is close to about 5 miles of biking/walking trails. Destin Commons and Silver Sands Outlets are roughly 3 miles away, and the Dolphin Reef artificial snorkeling reef is accessible near the Miramar Regional Public Beach Access. Destin Executive Airport is the closest airport at about 7.6km, with Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport around 17km away.
Best for
This condo is best suited to couples or small families seeking a beach-adjacent, self-catering stay, thanks to its full kitchen, private gated beach access, and on-site pool and hot tub. It also appeals to snowbirds and longer-stay winter visitors given the discounted monthly winter rates offered from November through February. Because of the strict age and occupancy restrictions, it is not appropriate for large groups or guests under 25 traveling without a parent.
Travel tips
Book with the age and occupancy restrictions in mind: guests under 25 must be accompanied by a parent, and no more than 6 guests (plus up to 3 visitors) are allowed per condo. There is no elevator in the building, so ground-floor placement is worth noting for guests with mobility concerns, and golf carts are banned from the complex and will be towed if found. Guests interested in snorkeling the nearby Dolphin Reef should bring a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device, as sea conditions there can change quickly.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the cleanliness and overall presentable condition of the property, contributing to its strong average rating across 62 reviews. Some reviewers note that room size can feel small relative to the stated occupancy of six guests. A notable recurring complaint involves the presence of small cockroaches in the rooms, which detracted from an otherwise positive stay for at least one guest.
