Location is perfect!

Overall our beach experience and stay at Sea You Soon was top notch! The location is perfect. Right in the heart of Santa Rosa Beach. The ease of access to the beach is awesome. The room was very cool and comfortable, but for a small family of four it was a little cramped. We loved exploring Gulf Place and eating at Pizza by the Sea!

Great place. Great view. Great stay.

The pictures didn’t show a Keurig machine so I didn’t bring pods. Also could have used a free standing makeup mirror. But it was perfect for my needs. Close to beach and local restaurants.

Great location

Very clean apartment across the street from the beach. Guests should know that the golf place access is under construction, so you need to use the public beach abs there are many rules about using beach tents and where they can be location. Very close proximity to many great stores and restaurants. Queen mattress is comfortable, queen pull out mattress is very thin and wrapped and plastic but served us well while we were there.

Spring Break Getaway

This was our first time staying at Gulf Place and Santa Rosa Beach. My husband and I loved our time there. The studio was at a great location. You’re right across the street from the beach, literally a 2 minute walk. Restaurants and coffee shop all within walking distance. For spring break time, it was busy, but didn’t feel overcrowded. The studio was perfect for us and had everything we needed. I would highly recommend!

Cute studio, short walk to the beach and 3 pools to chose from!

The light bulbs above the cooking area on ceiling need to be changed and the stove top takes a while to heat up - the pull out mattress was not great and you roll to center of the bed Otherwise everything was great!

Santa Rosa studio

My overall stay was amazing.My only complaint is there wasn’t enough trash bags,and we ran out of paper towels and toilet tissue and had to go purchase some.I would think that the cleaning charge that we pay would have covered that.

Would rent again

The unit was exactly as pictured online. It was a little hard to locate the unit at first, but the unit was clean and convenient to beach and multiple restaurants. Our only complaint is how filthy the trash chute area was. It was disgusting and full of flies.

Last minute get away

The property is everything as described, there are two different coffee makers for ease of use (regular drip and Keurig single cup). The unit is a little hard to find at first but so convenient to everything in the area. Sitting on the balcony either early morning or late evening you get to see all the activity below, and then just about bed time everything slows down and gets very quiet. We will absolutely be back to stay again in the near future.

Would recommend! Minor & correctable tweaks needed.

We enjoyed our stay there. The management company was very helpful, responsive, polite and attentive. They notified us that the door was left open on accident. They closed it on our behalf & notified me. While we were embarrassed, I appreciate their protecting our valuables as well as the owner's property. We were not able to take the beach chairs we purchased & the owner accepted our offer to keep them for future tenants. We appreciated not dealing with that luggage @ the airp The interior was beautiful & clean. The jet tub was a great surprise. I don't remember seeing that in the listing. The location is perfect where you could see the part of the beach through the tree and building gaps. Walking distance for everything and great for people watching when on the porch We only had a two issues that I am only meaning to be constructive Four clean towels were provided and the laundry facility does not have enough appliances to compensate. Because of our long stay, lack of towels provided and unavailability of the washing appliances, we had to buy towels The bigger issue is, when we followed directions to the beach from the instructions provided, we were kicked out of that section as it is privately owned by another property. My child was very upset and did not want to return to the beach. I think the directions need to be corrected for future tenants We do not expect to have a flawless experience ever and we would be willing to stay there again & recommend to others
