About this property
Poolside Paradise - Gulf Place Caribbean
Construction will be complete on March 12! Thank you to all of our guests who have supported us during this difficult process! 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.

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.
This condo has all you need for a great beach vacay. Steps from the pool and a very short walk to the beach. What more could you ask for? We would def stay again! Oh, the neighborhood area is really cool too. The only items that could possibly make it better would be some better rugs to help with sand but they do have a broom to help sweep up all the sand. You can wash off 100 times with the hose but somehow the kids and items still bring sand back. But, that's the beach for you.
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.
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
My wife and I came to celebrate her birthday and had a great time! We enjoyed the beach, pool and hot tub the whole time we were there! Tons of great food options close as well! The space was great and provided everything we needed for a relaxing get-away!
The place was perfect, neat and clean. With only a couple of steps out to the pool made it above average. The manager was very proactive. We would definitely go back.
Awesome location in a cute beach town. Condo was perfect and Laura was a great host! Steps from heated pool and hot tub and 1 minute walk to beach. Can’t wait to come back :)
We were very pleased with our stay at Gulf Place Caribbean. The location was perfect. Everything was as advertised and our Condo was on point. We definitely plan to stay there again as offend as possible. Thanks Vrbo and condo owners.
Laura was a great host. She went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Great location to the beach and pool(heated). We had a memorable Christmas here!
We spent 3 nights during Spring Break 2024. The location is perfect, easy parking and right across the beach access.
I had a couple questions regarding the amenities Pass and the live TV subscription. The owner gave me answers within minutes, very friendly and responsive. We’ll definitely come back!
Very nice, clean, well equipped condo unit ideal for a couple like ourselves. We enjoyed the amenities right outside the door such as the pool and hot tub. There's a number of restaurants and shops easily within walking distance . We may very well return again next year to temporarily escape the Michigan winter.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Gulf Place, and this condo especially! Laura was great with communication, the condo was clean and just as described. The convenience of the first floor with two younger kids was incredible! We already booked our stay for next year, and can see ourselves back for several years to come!
