It’s all about location
Perfect spot! First floor and just outside the back patio are steps to the pool, beach directly across the street, restaurants, coffee, and shops within the neighborhood, bike and walking trails all around. Also, this condo is beautifully decorated and initial setup has most everything you need. Communication with owner Jackie was great! We had double red flags on the beach a couple days and she sent recommendations for other activities in the area we could do. Look forward to returning!

Clean, comfort, proximity
This was a wonderful getaway location for me and my daughter. The proximity to the beach, biking, eating, and shops is super convenient. We had a relaxing time enjoying the beach, walking, e-biking along 30A to experience all the beach towns in the area. Bikes or E-biking is a super way to get around faster. Driving isn't the recommended mode of transportation as traffic is heavy and parking are extremely limited. The owner is very kind and responsive!

EXCELLENT SIZE & LOCATION!
My 18 year old daughter & I wanted some time just the 2 of us before she leaves for college. Our family usually stays in a larger unit so I was looking for a smaller place for just us…we both LOVED this condo! The pool & hot tub were 7 steps from the unit. The beach boardwalk was directly across the street. We walked to dinner most nights with Gulf Place right by us. We agreed we would DEFINITELY return to this condo for our next Girls Getaway!

Relaxing fun
Loved our stay here at Gulf Place. Love how easy it is to get to the beach right across the street, and watch our daughter swim in the pool right from the patio. This is our second time here, but first time in this condo. It was clean, the instructions clear, a nice greeting upon arrival, and a comfy bed for us. The bunk bed was great for our 11 year old as well. Gulf place is fun with so much to explore and not far from other fun spots 20-40 min away…Will stay again! Get the fried or blackened grouper at Shunk Gully! You won’t be disappointed.

Great Family Condo
We loved the location right next to the pool. It’s great for little kids. The beach wasn’t crowded and is easy to walk to. We love the proximity to restaurants and also the big grassy area for kids to play. Walking everywhere is nice!

Feb Visit
There was a small odor at times from the pond adjacent to the pool, but overall the pool was kept in good condition as was the facility. February had a mixture of warm sunny days and cool cloudy days, but there were movie theaters and shopping 15-20 minutes away. The host was very attentive and responded to our inquiries.

Great condo with easy access to pool and beach
Everything was great…from location to size and easy check-in. Lots of restaurants close by. I was worried that we would hear all the noise from the pool but that wasn’t an issue at all. We really enjoyed being that close to the pool. The walk to the beach was easy as well.

Wonderful trip!
This condo was perfect for our family of four! We had the best vacation. The pool was great and right outside of the condo, but still gave plenty of privacy when we weren't swimming. The beach was really a short walk and not crowded. We loved that we could get anything we needed--lunch, dinner, sunscreen, goggles, coffee, etc--just by walking to the shops, and our kids loved the arts and crafts in the Arts Village. We would absolutely return! Thank you for letting us rent your beautiful condo!
