We just spent a wonderful relaxing week in your beautiful condo with our best friends. The condo was exactly as described, and the photos were very accurate in describing the furnishings and the amazing view. We had stayed on the 2nd floor of this complex before and now we much prefer the 4th floor with the great view of the ocean and spectacular sunsets. The entire Gulf Place Caribbean complex is very well maintained with beautiful landscaping and very clean pools and grounds. The owners were very responsive and helpful in the booking process, and we received our security deposit back very quickly. We definitely recommend this condo to anyone - perfect for two couples or a family. We have fallen in love with Santa Rosa Beach with all its charm and laid back atmosphere. We rented bicycles right down the street and spent many fun hours riding up and down scenic Highway 30-A. We will be back next year! Thanks for helping us to have a wonderful vacation.

Wow! What a great condo at Gulf Place Caribbean. Not only is the view terrific, but the condo had everything a guest could ask for! The beautiful furnishings were exactly as described and photographed. The kitchen had all the appliances and cookware so we were able to prepare multiple meals at the condo. The owners were very quick to respond to questions before and during our visit and there is a binder full of local information on places to dine, shop, etc. My husband and I chose to stay at Gulf Place because of all the amenities (pools, tennis, etc.) and we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived that there was a concert scheduled at the amphitheater for that evening! The beach is literally across the street with multiple access points and is just as beautiful as ever! We highly recommend "Lookout At The Beach" and love the Santa Rosa Beach area. Until we return!!

What a beautiful, CUTE 'home away from home' at Santa Rosa Beach!! It was truly a treat for us 3 'girls' to tan on the beach, sleep late, and refresh ourselves. Appreciated hosts providing beach towels and all the beach gear tucked away in our condo to tote to the waterfront. Everything in the condo was immaculate, up to date, worked great - very comfortable! A stunning, quiet location! We loved just staring at the beach/Gulf waters from our 4th floor patio, and yet had such fun exploring Hwy 30A - quick drives to nearby Grayton and Watercolor/Seaside, in addition to Destin to the west, where we all parasailed for the first time! Wonderful pools available, convenient parking, and walking trails along the quiet highway, leading to some nearby shops. Only 5 miles away, a new Walmart JUST OPENED the week we were there.... economical, familiar shopping for necessities - but lots of unique, cute shops and restaurants in the seaside towns, a few within walking distance. Our only challenge: connecting to internet. But we were here to vacation, after all!!

We enjoyed sitting in the livingroom looking out at the ocean every day of our stay. Your cono was clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. There even was a reminder to "Relax". The weather was perfect and the sunsets were gorgeous.

We really enjoyed our time at your condo. We loved the view from the balcony...my girls (5 and 8) loved looking for turtles in the lake and my wife and I liked that we could see the ocean. It is a very easy and short walk to the beach. The condo is in a great location that is within walking distance of a few restaurants, shops, etc. The condo is well decorated and stocked and is very confortable. My girls also loved the fun sea-themed bunk bed area. I like that it is a top floor unit because you get the best views and it is very quiet. Overall, a wonderful stay!

Our family of 4 to include two teen girls enjoyed our time at The Lookout. The condo was clean and well-equipped. The booking process through the owners was pleasant and effortless. Although we have stayed at Gulf Place numerous times before, the view from this top floor unit can't be beat. Easy access to the pool, beach, and shops of Gulf Place with an easy drive to any other places along 30A that you may want to experience. Although our stay was during the oil spill, the beach was just as pristine as ever.

My family and I had a great experience at the unit. It is spacious, clean, with easy access to the beach, bike trails and many other attractions. The listing description was accurate (including the photos), the owners were very pleasant to deal with, and everything went very smoothly. If you're looking for a quiet, pleasant experience close to the Gulf, this is a great place to stay.

Our family recently visited this condo, and really loved it. It was nicely furnished, and if you like to cook--had the best cooking equipment I've ever seen in a rental condo. There's a seafood market just down the street.... The view was spectacular. We were there in Mid-March, and it was a little chilly/windy to be walking on the beach for a few days, but we still felt like we were on vacation just because we could see the water from the living room. It's in a quiet area, but you will find what you need. It's only about 15 minutes to the really great outlet malls and many restaurants. Thanks for a great vacation!
