Beautiful condo, beautiful beach!

The condo is very nice and has everything you need. The beach is an easy walk across the street. It was quite cool the week we were there and we didn’t use the pools, but we would definitely book this unit again!

Perfect beach escape

We stayed here over the holidays and plan to go back as soon as we can! Julie was extremely responsive whenever we had questions before and during our trip. The condo is exactly like the pictures; clean, welcoming, and in a great location. We appreciated all of the thoughtful touches throughout where you can tell it truly is their home away from home! The kitchen was well stocked, the beach chairs and beach towels were a welcome additional amenity you might not get in another place. They really do go above and beyond to make sure your stay is comfortable! I'd highly recommend anyone looking for a place on 30A to stay here.

The Perfect Getaway to a Beautiful Place

My husband and I just returned from an amazing 2 weeks in Santa Rosa, FL! From check-in to check-out the entire process was so easy, adding to the wonderful experience we had. Our host, Julie, was very kind, extremely easy to work with and very accommodating. Her property was exactly the way it was described, an attractive well maintained and comfortable unit. It was obvious to us that Julie and her family take pride in their property and want their guests to feel at home and have a most enjoyable stay. We definitely felt like we were in a home away from home! Beds are very comfortable, kitchen well stocked, décor is very warm and welcoming – they truly have put their hearts into their property. The location was perfect for my husband and me. We loved sitting out on the balcony looking down at the pool or across the way to the gulf waters. It was so nice to stroll around Gulf Place for light shopping, happy hour, ice cream and various other establishments. For added shopping needs, grocery stores and other chain department stores are short drive away. Further down the road there is no shortage of shopping-you name it, it’s nearby! We definitely planning on a return trip to Santa Rosa hosted by Julie. I can't thank her and her family enough for the opportunity to explore a beautiful coastal area!

Very clean, cozy, and well appointed. The location was perfect, close to some great coffee, restaurants, shops, and of course the gorgeous private Gulf Place beach.

Why they chose this property

We love Santa Rosa Beach for its family friendly attitude, small crowds, and NO HIGHRISES on the beach! Quaint, old Florida feel and the prettiest beaches in the state! Scenic 30A is beautiful and so are the miles and miles of beach and bike paths.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with Gulf Place Caribbean when we visited Santa Rosa Beach years ago. After years of waiting, we have finally found the perfect beach getaway for our family and yours. We look forward to sharing our 'Beach Home Away from Home' and will do everything we can to make your vacation truly enjoyable.
