About this property

Gulf Place Top Floor! Ocean View! Sleeps 6! Heated Pools! 2 Min Walk to Beach!

Enhanced Anti-Viral Cleaning Procedures Are In Place!

Location! Location! Location! What a difference the top floor makes at the Gulf Place Cabanas! Beautiful and quiet fourth (4th) floor vacation retreat with stunning panoramic ocean views on famous scenic 30A! Perfect for couples, friends’ getaways, or small families, this 1 BDR, 1.5 BA condo is furnished in a comfortable and chic coastal living style. Everything is right here! Choose to eat out at amazing nearby restaurants (many in walking distance) or eat in and watch the sunset on the water from your balcony or couch (Publix & Walmart are right up the road)!

Gulf Place is loved by the locals and a favorite year after year for vacationers as well! Located perfectly on Highway 30A in Santa Rosa Beach, Gulf Place offers the famous turquoise gulf waters and finest white sand imaginable! Gulf Place is a quaint little seaside village with on-site bike rentals, great restaurants (Shunk Gulley, Perfect Pig, Pizza by the Sea, and more), ice cream shop, coffee shop, pharmacy, cool boutique shops, Pilates studio, day spa, an artist colony, arcade, and an outdoor amphitheater with seasonal music, movie offerings, featured artists and free community events & festivals. It’s also minutes Seaside and Watercolor to the East and water parks, activities for kids of all ages, nightlife and outlet shopping in Destin to the West, but miles away from the crowds! San Destin has a wonderful outdoor mall and is just a 15 minute car ride away! It is a great area with shops, amazing restaurants, a movie theater, and several golf courses. The Baytowne Wharf is also in that area and has great night life, including the popular piano bar, Rum Runners!

This fabulous retreat offers upgrades including all tiled floors, a new chaise sleeper sofa with a memory foam mattress, bunks with comfortable hybrid memory foam/cooling gel mattresses, and a fully stocked kitchen with all of the amenities needed for a wonderful vacation! Plus free Wifi and 2 flat screen TVs! Spend a week, a long week-end, or an extended stay- this home will pamper you with everything you need for a perfect vacation, with a view that will leave you breathless!
Unique to many units with hall bunks, Gulf Place Cabanas have hall bunks in their own little space (rather than in the main hallway) which features a half bath with vanity--great for the kids, or for adults who like separate spaces to get ready in!

Gulf Place has three pools and 2 hot tubs you can access, including a pool and hot tub directly in front of and steps away from our condo that you can see clearly from the balcony (which is heated in the Fall/Winter/Spring)! There are also grills and great tennis courts, shuffleboard, and corn hole at Gulf Place for your use!

The beach is about 100 steps away from the front of the unit! We timed our walk to the beach from stepping off of the elevator (which is conveniently directly across from our unit!), and we arrived at the private deeded beach access in one minute, and our toes were in the sand in less than two minutes! In addition to all the gorgeous beach has to offer, there are nature trails at 4 nearby state parks, 11 coastal dune lakes, and golfing (closest golf course is 1/4 mile away, within walking distance, and open to guests!), fishing, paddleboarding, and kayaking opportunities nearby! And of course, the famous 20 mile walking/hiking/biking paved trail that runs right in front of our condo and all along 30A through its many unique communities! You will see people everywhere on bikes! Although many choose to park and never get back into their car during their stay due to so many restaurants and activities within walking or biking distance, a short drive will give you even more choices of activities to please anyone!

We hope you agree that our little slice of paradise with breathtaking ocean views, a full kitchen, and comfortable sleep options for 6 offers the best bang for your buck you’ll find on 30A! We want you to have the vacation of a lifetime and come back time and time again (and tell your family and friends)!!!

Great location

This unit has a great location and view, we were informed of an issue that was shared by the owner ahead of time. We appreciated the transparency from the owner on the issue and still made the most of our stay. Great view of the ocean, clean unit, perfect for our little getaway.

Great quieter part of 30a

This was our second stay at Gulf Place. We love how low key the area is, but still close enough to things. Super close walk to the beach.

Needs some attention

I gave the property a 4 rating rather than 5 because the condo needs some attention. The fan in the bathroom is not working. The curtains do not work - you have to stand on a chair to open or close. Thanks,

Great location!

This condo was a great getaway spot for our family. The location is perfect, on a quieter stretch of 30A beach than other places we have stayed. The beach access was conveniently across the street from the complex. The restaurants in Gulf Place were great as well. There were a few issues at check in, but the owner was extremely responsive and remedied the problems pretty much immediately. The condo was perfect for our family of 4 and we would stay there again!

Charming Beach Retreat

We had an excellent time in this Gulfplace 1 bedroom. The condo was decorated very nicely and had an amazing view. We love these units because of their layouts that feature a bunk room and extra half bath. This makes it perfect for our small family. Lots of great things to do within a short walk or bike ride. Owner did an amazing job of communicating and making us feel welcome. Highly recommend and hope to be back soon.

A fantastic place!

The condo owner was great to work and communicate with especially during the unusual circumstances due to Covid-19 pandemic. Great, clean kitchen, beds and bathroom accommodations... perfect space for our 3 person family! The Gulf Place community was a fantastic area and we can’t wait to get back!

Paradise on 30A

This was one of the best vacations my family has been on in several years! Beautiful condo with views that can’t be beat. We strolled over to the beach with our chairs and paddle board. It is that close! We lounged on the balcony in the mornings and had coffee overlooking the gulf, walked to Shunk Gulley’s for dinner, enjoyed people watching and nearby shopping and ice cream!!! Awesome Sunday night concert just behind condo on the lawn. We loved the location of this condo! We were so close to the outlets in Destin and yet so far away from the crowded streets! The hall bunk beds tucked away with a half bath worked so well for my girls to have privacy. The kitchen was fully stocked with anything we needed to cook meals if we wanted. I just can’t say enough about this adorable condo! The owner was incredible to work with and answered all questions promptly. We will be back again and again!

About the host

Why they chose this property

I LOVE GULF PLACE and I LOVE THIS CONDO !!! I almost bought a 2nd floor condo the same week that I bought this one, and when I saw this 4th floor view I was SOLD! The top floor REALLY does make a difference....I just couldn't believe the view, and no noise from upstairs! I love that it's less than 2 minutes from the beach, I love that I can shop, eat, have a spa day, listen to live music, see art, and go to the beach without ever getting in my car, and I love that if I want to do even more, there are endless options a short car or bike ride away!

What makes this property unique

I love the beach, but I love to do other things as well, like kayak, paddleboard, bike, run, and go on the state park trails! I could stay here for months and never get bored!
