Not the best, not the worst.
Location is 5 star, condo needs some TLC, painting, cleaning real good. Towels had long black hair on them (not pubic) but appeared to be clean. AC unit is loud but works well. I thought the fees were too high. Fees and taxes were almost as much as the room rental. All in all not a bad condo and I would stay there again. It just needs a little attention.

Working Spring Break trip
I brought my daughter and one of her friends for their Spring Break. I worked for most of the time but the balcony was an excellent office with the high top table and chairs. The WiFi was excellent for the many Zoom calls I had throughout the week. The property was quiet at night and very clean. The kitchen was well stocked although a larger coffee maker or a Kuerig would be a good addition. The table and chairs on the balcony could use some tightening - I did my best but really needed an Allen wrench! I will definitely look into booking this property again! Ideal beach spot!

Functional property but needs lots of work
Condo was extremely dusty and dirty. Both bedrooms and bathrooms had wallpaper peeling in chunks. Doors were cracked and peeling. Master toilet bowl was cracked. Dishwasher unstable and not attached to cabinet. Several rusty surfaces on appliances and kitchen ware. Dining chairs covers dirty and moldy. Needs an overall deep thorough cleaning.

Overpriced, rundown but convenient
This condo is extremely rundown and poorly furnished but easy to find, check in and check out. Right on the beach, fourth floor view, beautiful beach. “Feels” Louie a rundown roach motel room and motel but clean, just really rundown. Hair dryers very old and rusty, one not working, broken sliding door screen, crappy outdoor furniture. It’s not a comfy or cozy place but you have a great view. Our coffee decanter was broke, wallpaper peeling in bathrooms, walls very scuffed up, broken bedroom door, broken shower rod set next to shower, stove only two burners working, ice maker non functional, no chain lock on door, mismatch hanger posts on back of bathroom door, three- two not broken. I’d not stay here again but we had a super trip. Lots to do nearby. We made last minute plans and this was available,. Now I know why. I think it would be much more reasonable to charge way less. Like half. There is a substantial cleaning fee and I’m certain you could clean and set this place up in 2 hours. It is well stocked with supplies, extra towels, blankets, pillows. No fabric softener but we bought some. Two beach towels. You can rent lounge chairs for forty dollars a day out in front at the beach but you’d think a place charging this much could buy two cheap lounge chairs from Walmart. We did. And get to keep them. Floors are pretty dirty but I think that’s the area so no fault of managers. I reported things and got quick online response and manager called next day afternoon. Again, I wouldn’t stay here again unless I had to find a place and it was all that was available.

A fault that turned a good stay
Everything was fine with our stay, until on the last night when I slept in the second (less used) bedroom and got bitten by bed bugs. This is the second time in a year this has happened to me in a VRBO and it is very irritating, so much so that I am likely to go back to using hotels.

Excellent end of summer getaway.
We stayed here for an end of summer getaway September 21-23 2018 and it was amazing. Condo was very clean and steps away from the beach. We only found 1 parking pass in our room and I contacted them with the number provided and was contacted within 5 mins and the problem was solved. Very very clean condo and close to everything yummy but secluded from the busy Thomas Drjve. We loved Gulf Gate and will definitely stay here again.

Worst condo we’ve ever stayed in!!
This condo is I need of complete reno. The carpet was so dirty we wouldn’t even go barefooted!! The refrigerator had no working ice maker. There were empty ice trays in the freezer when we arrived. Fortunately we had our on ice. The stove was so outdated I was afraid to cook on it. The only good thing about this condo were the tv’s and the bed. It is apparent that the owners only use this condo for rental purposes and don’t give a crap what it looks like!!! I would be embarrassed if I were them!!! We have owned rental property before and there is no way we would allow our property to get this rundown!!! We would not recommend this property to anyone!!! The pictures are very misleading!!!

Great location. Nice unit.
Great on the beach location. Unit was nice and clean. Just very minor things not perfect. Patio doors are really showing wear. One threshold plate was not screwed down well, toilet was not stable probably needs new gasket. All in all, very nice place.
