Wonderful Trip
I have been to the panhandle many times since I live in Marietta GA. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law moved here from California. I was excited to have them experience the beauty of the Destin area. It did NOT disappoint.

Perfect Getaway!
Destin Golfgate is the perfect proximity to the beach! We stayed 7 days with our family of 4. 2 adults 2 kids (4 & 7). We enjoyed the beach with a very helpful attendant who had our chairs ready for us daily. The condo was well equipped and very clean. The unit is 2 down from elevator so great location and the walk to the beach/pool is very easy.
We loved this condo and community. We will be staying here again.
The only downfall to the entire experience was that the pool was nicely heated for 4 days, like bath water. Then all of the sudden it wasn’t. When I inquired with the front desk they said maintenance will check and it was still being heated. I’m not entirely sure what happened but the kids were bummed that they could not swim anymore because it was too cold. If the kids say it’s cold, it’s cold!
