Area Attractions:
The Gulf Place community is located along a 26-mile stretch of sugar-white sand and turquoise waters of Northwest Florida’s celebrated Emerald Coast. As one of the 16 distinct beach neighborhoods in South Walton, it has its own distinct character and charm. This colorful community on 30A is comprised of 25 acres located in the heart of Santa Rosa Beach on the corner of 30A and 393. Gulf Place was specifically designed to slow visitors and locals down with palm tree-lined streets, wide sidewalks, colorful outdoor patios with large umbrellas, nature walking trails, green spaces and ample park benches to sit and enjoy the views. Gulf Place is unique from all the other South Walton neighborhoods. Residents and guests gather here to enjoy original art, boutique shopping, local cuisine, live music and a laid back atmosphere.
The snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Seahorse Reef, deployed in 2017. Located just 715 feet out from the Topsail Hill Preserve State Park access, it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Seahorse Reef is at a depth of 13-18 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

We absolutely love staying in this Cabana. This is our second year staying there. It was just as clean and a wonderful experience this year. As it was last year. I felt like communication was even better because they had a representative call the day after we got there just to make sure that everything was to our standards And to make sure we didn't need anything from them. I absolutely love the location. We will continue to stay there because we love the Cabana and the location is fantastic. Can't recommend this place enough.

The size and the location of the condo in Gulf Place Cabanas was perfect for my quick visit to 30A. The condo was clean and well appointed. I would suggest having a couple of beach chairs and beach towels available. Everything else was provided!
This was the perfect little place for us! The condo was great, clean and near everything we needed. We were right across from the beach and could see the water from the balcony! Restaurants near by and very close to grocery stores and shopping! Excellent communication as well! We will be back!

This condo is in a wonderful location for daily walks, beach, and pool sessions. The property has tennis courts, 3 pools, and a wonderful coffee shop just steps away. We loved it. The condo was very clean. The bunkbeds are likely best for just children, although we did have one adult stay in them.

This was a wonderful condo in a very good location. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen had everything you need, plenty of space, and great style. It was close to Seaside and Destin, close to many state parks for a variety of outdoor activities, and close to the grocery store. We hope to come back in the future!

Perfect location . Convenient to great restaurants, shopping and short walk to the beach. Pool small. Didn’t have a toaster. 8/10 on cleanliness. Felt a little small for us with my wife and 2 kids but we adapted

It was a nice location across the street and easy walk to the beach.Not a large condo but perfect for us as a couple.We did use the kitchen to cook one meal and everything was there we needed.The bunk bed area and half bath was a nice addition to spread out in getting ready in the morning.There were a couple of paint touch places needed but other than that everything was in good shape
