Feels like home

Property was exactly as described in the listing. Also we stay on 30a twice a year and of all places we have stayed this one gave us the most feeling of a home not just a rental. We will be back in the future.

Fantastic!

We had a great long weekend at this property. The hostess was extremely easy to get in touch with when needed. It was clean and comfortable with easy access to the beach. Our kids loved the heated pool in the evenings. We were able to walk to get coffee (there is a coffee maker in the unit), dinner, ice cream, etc. so convenient. Laundry in the unit is always a game changer for our family. The only downside is that we had to leave, but we can’t wait to return!

Perfect stay in 30A!

First class experience! The owners communicated quickly and with great attention to detail. From booking through check out our hosts were wonderful and so accommodating! Very clean, cozy, and well appointed. The location was perfect, close to some great coffee, restaurants, shops, and of course the gorgeous private Gulf Place beach. I highly recommend booking here, and I look forward to visiting again

Relaxing Week Away

Wonderful as usual! Our family travels to Gulf Place every September for a week stay at the beach during fall break. We are never disappointed! The condo was clean and well furnished with everything needed for a comfortable stay. We love the property and surrounding area. It is quiet and peaceful but also close to restaurants and stores, if needed. Julie was an awesome host! She stayed in contact with us before check in and made sure we had everything we needed for the stay. She was available, but everything ran so smoothly that we didn't need to contact her at all throughout the week. Sad it is already over😕 We definitely recommend and plan to return again next September👍

Property was exactly as described, very clean and comfortable, well stocked kitchen, comfy beds and linens. There are two convenient beach access points and a handful of restaurants and shops within easy walking distance. Plenty of parking spots available. I've stayed in other Gulf Place Caribbean units before, and during multiple trips, including this one, there were issues with the hot tub that made it unusable, so just something to keep in mind if that's really important to you. Other than that, nothing negative whatsoever about this stay.

Trip to Gulf Place Carribean

We recently returned from our annual Gulf Place trip. This was by the best visit by far. Lisa allowed us to arrive early and stay later. The condo was exactly as advertised and had many extras that made for a wonderful location. We will be back next year for sure. This is the best spot on 30a. Thanks again, Lisa !

The Perfect Getaway to a Beautiful Place

My husband and I just returned from an amazing 2 weeks in Santa Rosa, FL! From check-in to check-out the entire process was so easy, adding to the wonderful experience we had. Our host, Julie, was very kind, extremely easy to work with and very accommodating. Her property was exactly the way it was described, an attractive well maintained and comfortable unit. It was obvious to us that Julie and her family take pride in their property and want their guests to feel at home and have a most enjoyable stay. We definitely felt like we were in a home away from home! Beds are very comfortable, kitchen well stocked, décor is very warm and welcoming – they truly have put their hearts into their property. The location was perfect for my husband and me. We loved sitting out on the balcony looking down at the pool or across the way to the gulf waters. It was so nice to stroll around Gulf Place for light shopping, happy hour, ice cream and various other establishments. For added shopping needs, grocery stores and other chain department stores are short drive away. Further down the road there is no shortage of shopping-you name it, it’s nearby! We definitely planning on a return trip to Santa Rosa hosted by Julie. I can't thank her and her family enough for the opportunity to explore a beautiful coastal area!

Perfect beach escape

We stayed here over the holidays and plan to go back as soon as we can! Julie was extremely responsive whenever we had questions before and during our trip. The condo is exactly like the pictures; clean, welcoming, and in a great location. We appreciated all of the thoughtful touches throughout where you can tell it truly is their home away from home! The kitchen was well stocked, the beach chairs and beach towels were a welcome additional amenity you might not get in another place. They really do go above and beyond to make sure your stay is comfortable! I'd highly recommend anyone looking for a place on 30A to stay here.

Fantastic Property

We spent the past week at this beautiful condo. This review, along with all of the others, all say the same thing. Julie is a wonderful host and kept us informed on any changes. The check-in process was easy and simple. This condo is well stocked with items needed to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. Several shops and restaurants are right there. Unfortunately, the Sunrise Coffee shop has closed permanently but there are others close by. Beach chairs and umbrella are available for use along with other sports equipment items. The condo is well maintained and clean. Access to the beach is located across the street and very accessible. Seaside is a short drive on 30A and a nice place to visit to have lunch or dinner or to shop. Elevator and carts are available to take your items to the condo.If we head back to this area, this condo is my first choice. Thanks Julie for the hospitality.

Why they chose this property

We love Santa Rosa Beach for its family friendly attitude, small crowds, and NO HIGHRISES on the beach! Quaint, old Florida feel and the prettiest beaches in the state! Scenic 30A is beautiful and so are the miles and miles of beach and bike paths.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with Gulf Place Caribbean when we visited Santa Rosa Beach years ago. After years of waiting, we have finally found the perfect beach getaway for our family and yours. We look forward to sharing our 'Beach Home Away from Home' and will do everything we can to make your vacation truly enjoyable.
