Everything was awesome, you can’t see the beach well from the place , yet it’s a hop skip and jump away, and well worth it as the white sand and the ocean is majestic ! The place was just right for our stay with most all our needs were walkable. Extra thank you for the boogie boards and chairs !

I guess everyone has different opinions about what is lux or not. We try to meet that standard from Bed sheets and towels to our mattresses and furniture.

Perfect location. Accurate description of the property. We had 2 adults and 2 teenagers and it was ideal size. We felt safe enough to let teenagers walk every morning and explore the area. Beach access was as described and pool/hot tub was a great extra. I would highly recommend to stay in this property. We added an extra day and ease of owner response was amazing!

Overall, it was an OK stay. Communication with owner was good. However, they seriously need to re-evaluate whoever is doing the cleaning. Instructions on beach entry need to be more clear and Information about ocean view, that's pretty sketchy. You literally can only see a very small portion of the water if you go all the way to one corner of the balcony. I realize it doesn't say beachfront... however!!!!!!!

Response from VrboOwner on 15 June 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We always appreciate hearing from our guests and are always looking for ways to improve. Regarding the cleaning, I spoke with our cleaner, who personally handled the unit and stated that it was spotless when she left. Because of situations like this, we have now implemented a process of taking a video after each cleaning so that we have a documented check and balance moving forward. As for the ocean view, our property is located directly across the street from the beach, and that is exactly how we advertise it. We certainly don’t intend to misrepresent the location, so I’m sorry if your expectations were different. Regarding the beach access, our instructions are very specific and clearly explain how to get to the beach. I’m not sure why there was any confusion, but if there is something you feel could be made clearer, we would certainly appreciate that feedback as well. If you happened to take any photos of the cleaning issues you mentioned, I would greatly appreciate it if you could send them to me. I’d like to review them with our cleaner so we can address any concerns and continue improving our standards.

Why they chose this property

We love this area. You are minutes from some of the best dinning 30A has to offer. It's a 5 min walk to restaurants like Shunk Gulley Oyster Bar, Sunrise Ice Cream and Coffee, Shelby’s, Papa Surf Burger ( Jason Aldeans Place) Pizza by the Sea , and then only a short drive to Seaside, Rosemary Beach Water Color , Paradiso, Stinky's Fish Camp, The Vue, Bud and Alley's, Old Florida Fish House, Cafe Thirty-A, George's, just to name a few. It also has great shopping and bike rentals nearby. Santa Rosa Beach is one of the prettiest beaches on 30A with it's crystal blue water and white sandy beach coastline. Come stay with us and I think you will fall in love with it just like we did!!!

What makes this property unique

One of the things we love about Gulf Place is it has 3 beach access points which makes it more exclusive and much less crowded! Gulf Place also has 3 swimming pools, 2 of which are heated hot tubs as well, and two are located very close to our unit. There is a pool view and partial ocean view from the unit. Also, the area on 30A is fabulous for restaurants, water activities and shopping. Destin and Panama City Beach are only a short drive away!
