Great place for family!

This was a terrific space for our family of 5. We made use of the heated pools since weather was too cool for swimming at the beach. Had we wanted to play at the beach, EVERYTHING we could have possible needed was in the home for us. Comfy beds, well stocked kitchen, and plenty of space for family to gather together or retreat to separate spaces. I appreciated the easy, fast communication with Trent. We were right in the middle of all the attractions we came for. Would absolutely stay here again!

Family Vacation

The townhome was very clean. It was a fully equipped kitchen. The owner provided beach chairs and umbrella for the stay. The owner always responded to my emails within minutes. Super fast and efficient. The beach access was less than 3 minute walk. I would say this was the best townhome/condo we have stayed and would highly recommend. The townhome had three rooms and plenty of bathrooms. Thank you for sharing your beach home with us. We will be back.

Family get-away

The owner was amazingly proactive and communicative. Beds were very comfy. Loved receiving dining recommendations from the owner - Bayou at the Beach was so good! The complex was clean and people were friendly. A short walk to the beach and the closest pool was about a minute away. We had a great time - thank you!

A Great Getaway

This was perfect for what we needed! We loved how close it was to the beach and the pools! We enjoyed meals at the Clubhouse and reading by the beach pool. The condo was well equipped with everything we needed from cooking to spending time at the beach! It even had pickle ball equipment to use at the new pickle ball courts! Trent was great to work with. Good memories! We wouldn’t hesitate to come back.

We loved this property. The owner Trent was very communicative and the home was in great condition. A short walk to the beach. All the beach accessories were a huge bonus for us. We used them daily. The ability to have our dogs with us was also nice. Highly recommend!

Truly enjoyed our stay! And would strongly recommend this property for your vacation.

We enjoyed our week long vacation and we appreciate Trent’s hospitality. Not only was he helpful and always quick to respond when renting the property but also during our stay. He helped recommend a few restaurants and they were great. The property provides you with a wagon, umbrella and beach chairs making it convenient. It is a short walk to the beach in a quiet gated community. We definitely intend on returning for future stays.

Loved our experience!!

Beautifully updated townhouse within walking distance to the beach. There is even a private clubhouse on the beach with a pool!! Townhouse was clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Gulf Highlands offered tennis and mini golf along with multiple swimming pools. The host was always available for any questions we might have had. This was our first time in the area and I would go back again.

Perfect Getaway

I can't say enough about this wonderful beach home. Super clean, comfortable and plenty of room. Just a short walk to the beach and close to everything. It really felt like home and private bathrooms in all bedrooms is a game changer! The home is fully stocked with everything you need besides food and Publix and Walmart are just around the corner. You can tell the owners want their guests to have the best vacation. We will definitely be back.
