About this property

Poolside Paradise - Gulf Place Caribbean

Gulf Place Caribbean is back and better than ever! Balconies and patios have been renovated, the elevator is brand new and the stairwells have been replaced.

Welcome to our Poolside Paradise! This is a first floor 1 bedroom condo with bunks and 1 bathroom. Access to the pool and spa is through a private gate just a few steps out the back door of the condo . . . it’s like having your own private cabana. The custom kitchen layout features extra counter space, granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances. The bedroom has a king sized bed and there is a queen-size sleeper sofa in living room. There are large flat screen TVs in the living room and the master bedroom and comfortable Adirondack chairs on the open patio. The bathroom has double sinks and a shower/tub combination. You’ll love the convenience of having your own full sized washer and dryer in the unit. We provide Tommy Bahama beach chairs, a beach umbrella and beach towels.

Gulf Place has three private beach accesses just across Scenic Highway 30-A. Because our condo is so close to the beach, you can get exercise by actually walking ON the beach, not walking TO the beach. We also have three swimming pools that are heated year round, not to mention tennis, pickleball, shuffleboard and cornhole.

Thank you for visiting and we hope you decide to stay with us! If you are interested in a third floor unit with Gulf view please see our other listing www.vrbo.com/33275.

“Poolside Paradise” condo is a wonderful place to stay. It has a good location in Blue Mountain Beach. It is clean, it is safe, it is comfortable, and the heated pool in January was the icing on the cake. The pool is also right outside the back door, which was so convenient. The owners are amazing. The check-in was flawless, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The bed is very comfortable and the pillows are the most comfortable pillows I’ve ever slept on in my life! The kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed a wonderful, relaxing week. We will be back!

Perfect Stay For a Family

My family and i really enjoyed our stay! We stayed for about a week for our Spring Break vacation. The room and location were absolutely perfect for us!! The direct access to the heated pool, hot tub, and private beach access was a huge plus. We wouldn't change a thing about our stay and will definitely book this location again

Family Vacation

My family and I ( wife and 3 kids)stayed for the week at the end of May 2025. This was our 2nd time staying here and again it did not disappoint. The beach access is very close (property has plenty of chairs and umbrellas to use) and the pool area is fantastic. My son and i played pickleball several mornings before going to the beach. The owners again were very responsive with questions leading up to the trip. Can't say enough positive things about it.

Our favorite beach escape

We have stayed in this condo several times and always have a great time. The location is great! We were excited this last trip that the owner added chairs, umbrellas, and other beach items. The owner is great to work with and always very helpful. We can hardly wait for our next visit!

Fall Break Vacation

We enjoyed our stay at Gulf Place Caribbean. The location is just perfect. It is just a short walk to the beach. The water is crystal clear and the sand is soft and white. A true paradise. There are several restaurants within walking distance and the pool and hot tub are just steps away. We will definitely return.
