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!

Great location. We had stayed in other condos in the same complex. Hosts were in communication quite frequently. Clean, reasonably priced, but lacking in some areas. Wine glasses, yet no wine opener. Had to go purchase one. Left it behind for the next guests. No food storage containers to put food in. Little things like that.

Great communication. Great location. Kitchen is ok for very basic cooking. We were only provided 3 washcloths for 4 people staying 5 days. Gulf view is a stretch. You can see some of the water over the buildings. Very safe. Security guards patrolling were slightly annoying, though. One banged on our door at 10:35 at night, waking me up, to tell us that the beach chairs could not be left by the front door. Although , that is exactly what check in instructions said to do. Overall, would stay again for a good price

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.
