Gulf Place Ground Floor Unit with Heated Pool & Private Beach Access
Our 30A Hideaway is the perfect spot to vacation in Santa Rosa Beach! Located on the ground floor of CABANAS, park at your door! With a secluded outdoor patio, this colorful dream space is vibrant with local decor! The unit has an updated custom turquoise kitchen with subway backsplash, new appliances and copper sink, memory foam mattresses, flat screen TVs, and cozy private veranda. The master bedroom is designed with shiplap walls, new wood flooring and a queen size bed. The hall twin bunks are the perfect tuck-in for the children after a day at the pool or beach. You are just 15 steps away from the Cabanas pool & hot tub and less than 200 steps from the secluded beach access. In addition to two additional pools, the property offers hot tubs, tennis courts, shuffle board, corn hole, walking trails, grills and all that the Gulf Place Town Center has to offer. Located just steps from the famous sugar-white sand and turquoise waters of Northwest Florida’s celebrated Emerald Coast, the colorful community of Gulf Place is one of 30A’s original new urban developments. The 25 acre community is located in the heart of Santa Rosa Beach on the corner of 30A and 393. Gulf Place was specifically designed to slow folks down with beautiful palm tree-lined streets, wide sidewalks, outdoor patios with large umbrellas, nature walking trails, plentiful green spaces and plenty of park benches to sit and enjoy the views. What makes Gulf Place unique from all the other South Walton neighborhoods is the mixture of full time residents and short term vacationers that all gather here to enjoy original art, boutique shopping, local cuisine, live music and a laid back atmosphere. Gulf Place features some of 30A’s most popular restaurants. Whether you are looking for an epic culinary experience, a fun feast for the whole family or just grab a quick bite to take to the beach, Gulf Place has it all. Famous eateries and eclectic shopping are just a stroll away. This is the perfect Hideaway on 30A !

My family stayed for a week and it was perfect. The beach was a 3 minute walk and the area has fun restaurants that are also walkable. The unit was just as advertised. We would stay here again.
Love the decor - such a fun vibe! The property was immaculate. It’s centrally located for shopping, dining, and spending the day at the beach and/or pool. Amy was friendly, accommodating, and knows the area well. We will definitely make a return trip!
One of our favorite places to stay on 30A. The layout of the unit worked great for my family (my wife and I and our teenage son). The property owner has done an exceptional job of furnishing the condo. The condo itself is located in proximity to the beach, one of the condo pools, and several restaurants and retail shops. Our host was exceedingly kind and responsive!
We arrived in Santa Rosa Beach a few hours earlier than anticipated, and Amy gave us recommendations for lunch and let us know as soon as the property was ready for us to check in. The private beach access, pool, and hot tub were close and a huge advantage.
It's small, but the two bathrooms make it feel more manageable.
Would recommend!
Location could not be better........ short walk to the beach. All you need is only steps away....coffee, bike rentals, shopping, food.
Loved Gulf Place!
This was a great place. Beach across the street with easy and safe crossing access; great food choices within walking distance. Well appointed and cozy accommodations. All in all it was a perfect choice and Amy was awesome in keeping us apprised and responding to questions.

Great place even with error
I booked a staycation for our anniversary and everything was going well until I got to the unit and couldn’t find the code to get into the unit. It wasn’t in my spam folder either. I tried calling, messaging, and emailing to get into the unit but no one answered and it was before 10PM. Fortunately we live about 45 minutes away, so after 45 minutes of trying to get in we went home. I called VRBO customer service for help as well and there was nothing they could do except refund our money. After midnight I got a frantic call from Amy who was very apologetic telling me the refund was on its way and asking me to come stay Saturday night for free because it was already reserved for us. The next morning we went ahead and headed that way restarting our staycation. We got out there and the unit was very centrally located with easy access to the beach which was a short distance down 30A and across the street. It has a very clean and relaxing atmosphere which is just what we needed. I would definitely recommend this unit, just double check your email and make sure you get the check in instructions before it gets too late.
We had such a great week! This location is perfect, quick walk to the beach, close to the pool and great restaurants within walking distance. The condo was clean and worked great for our family. Amy was quick to respond to any questions or issues. We can’t wait to plan our next trip back!
The ground floor was very nice. Pool/hot tub was within a few steps. Decor was awesome. No problems at all. Also able to surf fish at the beach. Would definitely come back !
We really enjoyed our stay! Condo was exactly as described. We loved the convenience of the ground floor access, the veranda was so nice & private. Beds were comfortable & condo had everything we needed. Only “negative” would be no in unit washer/dryer, however we knew that ahead of time & planned accordingly. The washer/dryer provided on the main floor was free & easy to use. We would definitely stay here again!
Beautiful first floor condo with direct access to the beach!! Host has all the amenities included in the condo and it is decorated beautifully! So close to restaurants and shops…all within easy walking distance. The beach is truly right across the street and the pool is right outside your glass sliding door. The patio area is so cozy for enjoying a morning coffee or a night outside under the stars. Laundry is right down the hall. Host was very responsive and helped with all of our needs. Would love to stay here again next time we are in the area!
My husband and I booked this trip for our first solo week-long vacation since our honeymoon in 2020. The condo is a great size and we loved having the walk out patio. I was so happy the owners provided a cooler, beach towels, and boards for us to use at the beach. Not having to walk back from the beach to eat was great for us since we spend all day on the beach. The community is very walkable and we walked to dinner and shopped multiple days. The only thing we weren’t able to get access to was the laundry room when another guest shut the door and a code wasn’t provided. Overall we were immensely pleased with our stay and hope to be back!!
We enjoyed our stay. Communication with property manager was great it was clean and will definitely stay again!

About the host
Hosted by Amy Porter Baker
We hail from The Lone Star State, and are very proud to be natives of that country. We used to vacation at beaches in Texas until we discovered the Emerald Coast. After that discovery, we have come to really love this part of the world and spend as much time here as possible!
Why they chose this property
We have owned in Okaloosa and Walton county since 1991, and enjoy sharing this beautiful area with others. When this special customized unit became available, we jumped on it. It is the perfect location with something for everyone. Proximity to the Beach and Pool were the most important to us. This Gulf Place Ground Floor unit is also adjacent to the "The Green" where activities and music abound. The Cabanas building is the closest of many to the Beach and is an easy walk to shopping and wonderful diverse choices for dining. It was a no-brainer for us to purchase this beautiful unit for our own use as well as for our Guests' enjoyment.
What makes this property unique
Once you park by the door and take your things right inside, you never have to get into your car again! Food, Fun and Sun abound out your door. Until it's time to return to your real world, snuggle in and Enjoy!. We think you'll come back soon!!
