Fantastic Property
We spent the past week at this beautiful condo. This review, along with all of the others, all say the same thing. Julie is a wonderful host and kept us informed on any changes. The check-in process was easy and simple. This condo is well stocked with items needed to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. Several shops and restaurants are right there. Unfortunately, the Sunrise Coffee shop has closed permanently but there are others close by. Beach chairs and umbrella are available for use along with other sports equipment items. The condo is well maintained and clean. Access to the beach is located across the street and very accessible. Seaside is a short drive on 30A and a nice place to visit to have lunch or dinner or to shop. Elevator and carts are available to take your items to the condo.If we head back to this area, this condo is my first choice. Thanks Julie for the hospitality.

Property was exactly as described in the listing. Also we stay on 30a twice a year and of all places we have stayed this one gave us the most feeling of a home not just a rental. We will be back in the future.

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.

The best property I’ve stayed in to date. Superbly clean, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable. Everything - from the rooms, kitchen, linens, bathroom- all of it was meticulously kept and felt just like home. I’d stay at this property again and again. Owners are one phone call away and friendly. 10/10 experience

Gem of Santa Rosa Beach
In one sentence - we absolutely loved our stay and we will be back! Location is perfect! The short walk to the pool and beach made it so easy for our family. Plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance and Walmart is a short drive. Pro tip - order your groceries ahead of time for easy drive up pickup! Loved that we had a view of the pool and hot tub so we could send our two older kids down to the pool. The water temp of the pool was perfect - awesome that this WI family can still enjoy a pool day on a chilly or windy day. We really enjoyed that the beach was private so it was never overcrowded. The condo is so clean and organized. Beds are very comfy - we all slept great! I loved that the owner labeled things throughout the condo. Very helpful when you’re new to a place. It’s equipped with everything you need and a working ice machine in the freezer was so appreciated! We enjoyed a couple movie nights thanks to the large DVD collection. Julie is a great host and very responsive! Best stay yet in 30A!

Excellent property!
The condo is only a 3 minute walk from the beach which is perfect for families with small children. The pool attached to this unit is heated, so it makes for a nice wind down swim after a day at the beach. And it’s also only a 2 minute walk to some of the restaurants and shops around Gulf Place. You’re only a short 20-30 minute drive from Seaside or Destin if you’re looking to go a little farther for fun. Great place to stay!

Relaxing Week Away
Wonderful as usual! Our family travels to Gulf Place every September for a week stay at the beach during fall break. We are never disappointed! The condo was clean and well furnished with everything needed for a comfortable stay. We love the property and surrounding area. It is quiet and peaceful but also close to restaurants and stores, if needed. Julie was an awesome host! She stayed in contact with us before check in and made sure we had everything we needed for the stay. She was available, but everything ran so smoothly that we didn't need to contact her at all throughout the week. Sad it is already over😕 We definitely recommend and plan to return again next September👍

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.
