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 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. 

This condo is less than 2 miles to Santa Rosa Golf and Beach Club.  It's also a 20-Minute Drive to Silver Sands Outlet Mall or 15 minutes to Grand Blvd's many shopping and dining options, including a Grand movie theater.  

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!

This was our second trip to Santa Rosa Beach and our second time to stay at Gulf Place Carribean. Your property was very nice and well kept. We had all the amenities that we needed. We enjoyed the pool and appreciated that it was heated. We love that the beach is just a short walk from the property. Thank you!

Great property in great location will definately concider it if we are back in the area. Well appointed with comfortable furniture and bedding. Although we didnt cook it appeared that it would have everything we needed. Spent lots of time on the balcony overlooking the pool. Pool was a comfortable temperature and very clean.

Perfect getaway

This is the perfect location. We love this area. Condo is just as pictured. Very clean. Easy and short walk to beach. Private beach entrance that’s not as crowded as the public access. Several eating places on property and several cute little shops at Gulf Place. Quick response on any questions. Will stay here again.

Convenient and Cozy!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here! It was the perfect size for the two of us. Walk to the beach is very short and convenient! The condo looked exactly like the pictures. My only critique is that the bed sheets in the bedroom really need to be replaced with new ones - the fitted sheet was very worn and was pilling. We ended up just pulling the top sheet back up and sleeping on top of that. Otherwise everything was very clean and we would definitely stay again!

Nice place but no WIFI all week

My overall experience at the place was good, but we had no WiFi all week. We did try to call but never got it resolved, so I wasn't able to work from the place all week. Also, I feel like the place could use a little more storage in the living room area. The construction was really bad at our place, and no one ever communicated this with us. The elevator was broken the first few days of our trip, so we had to haul all of our stuff up on construction stairs. I understand the construction was out of the owner's control, but it would have been nice to know about in advance. We did enjoy our stay a lot, especially the location of our condo.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was perfect for our stay. 3 adults and 1 child. We loved walking across the street to the beach. The pool was great. The only issue was a slow Internet and cable connection because so many people were using it. Make sure you look in the guest book to know how to operate the TV.

Great place to stay!

We really liked this condo. The location was perfect and the place was very clean. My only complaint is that there is not enough storage. The description says it sleeps 6 and it does but there is definitely not enough room for 6. Much better suited for a small family or 3, maybe 4. Having only one dresser had most of us living out of our suitcases. Dryer could have worked better as well. Overall our vacation was awesome!

great property close to everything . only negative is you can hear every single footstep and sound from upstairs. we had a family staying above us with small children running around and screaming for hours which made it difficult to sleep or relax due to the fact it sounded like elephants most of the day.
