Great location!

The unit was just as advertised and perfect for 7 people! The loft room was great for 2 teenage boys. The family/dining room was spacious and perfect for playing family games. The unit was very clean a d does have a washer and dryer on the 2nd floor. We LOVE Gulf Place and would definitely stay here again if we needed a place for 7 people.

Great spot for family vacation!

I just returned from my third stay in Gulf Place, and once again, it did not disappoint! The townhouse was super clean and had everything we needed for a fantastic family vacation. The location is ideal, making it easy to explore the area. The main bedroom was amazing, and the twin beds on the third floor were surprisingly comfy. Just a heads up: the two full-size beds have a futon quality to them, which might not be for everyone. We did experience a brief hot water issue, and although no one came to address it, it didn’t detract from our overall enjoyment. I would definitely stay here again!

Great 2 weeks

Very enjoyable and pleasant experience. Property was perfect for the 2 weeks we had planned. We will stay at this property again in the future - probably a little closer to the swimming pool, but definitely on this property. We have stayed in this property complex 2 times in the past. Very top-notch.

Annual family vacation

The townhouse my family and stayed in for a week was beautifully decorated, well appointed, is located in a quieter section of Gulf Place and it's a short walk to several shops and restaurants as well as the beach access. I want to thank the young lady who cleaned our townhouse. She needs to be recognized for her outstanding work! You cannot go wrong with this rental.

Great place

Place was great and plenty of space. The only thing I would recommend is possibly adding food storage (I.e. Tupperware type containers). We take food to the beach everyday and ended up going and buying some. Other than this, it was perfect for my family

Great place to stay

This property had everything we needed for a week stay. Everything was clean and in good order. Just a short five minute walk to the beach and within easy driving distance of many local attractions in Destin in Panama City. We had a great time.

Great Property and Location!

We frequently visit this area 2 to 3 times a year This property was exceptionally clean !!! Only a few complaints the stopper for thé upstairs bathroom was missing and property was advertised with 2 bikes included and there were no bikes! I believe also that when everything is being booked on VRBO, everything should be done through their app to avoid confusion There was a separate app that was sent through the rental company and nothing on that app is updated!! Overall a great stay!

Great Stay! Recommend!

Rented for a week long trip. 7 people in our group. Check in procedures and all information was sent about a week prior in an email with an app that gave us an easy way to access information. Contacted customer service upon arrival (dishwasher appeared broken). Very friendly representative. Had someone out to the property the next day to address the issue (serviceman friendly as well). Basic amenities provided. Unit was clean, comfortable, and appeared recently updated. Unit is close to the pool and a short walk to the beach. No complaints! Would recommend and rent again! Thanks for providing us with a hassle free stay!

Only down side

The property was as described and the walk to the beach was about 8 min if you were carrying anything. The downside was the main level stayed about 10 degrees hotter than the bedroom level. Not good for meals or family tv watching. Overall I recommend this property highly. Beach beautiful and nice private access.

Summer Vacation

On the positive side, the location is fantastic and the property is decorated nicely. We have stayed at a number of these townhomes at Gulf Place Courtyards. This unit was disappointing. One of the chairs in the living room was broken to the point that no one could sit in it and it would fall over if anyone accidentally bumped into it. We reported this immediately and it was not fixed the entire week (it would have just taken a few screws). The master bathroom appeared to have mold around the bottom of the shower. Although we were told it was not mold and just staining, it appeared to us to be mold. The light above the master shower was hanging out when we arrived - and the property manager sent someone over to fix this immediately, but there were issues all week. The dryer squeaked LOUDLY when it was run - to the point that it could not be run when you were sleeping or watching TV - and then for 3 days the cable TV would stall every 30-45 seconds. The wifi also went out for 1.5 days. There were just too many issues for us to rent this unit again - but we will be back to Gulf Place Courtyards, just at another unit.

Beautiful rental!

We loved everything about this property! I was worried about the walk to the beach, but it was an easy, 5-6 minute walk. The screened in porch was lovely, the kitchen had everything we needed and lots of storage. We stayed here with four teenagers and had room to spread out. We had to call the property manager one time and received a very fast and thorough response. We would be happy to stay here again!
