About this property
Top Floor w/ Gulf Views | Walk to Beach & Dining
🌊 Top-floor, corner unit with expansive Gulf views
🏖️ Private, uncrowded beach access just across the street
🚶 Walk to restaurants, coffee shops & shopping
🛏️ Exceptionally comfortable beds (guests rave about them!)
✨ Updated, spotless condo with thoughtful touches throughout
☀️ Large balcony for coffee, sunsets, and ocean breezes
👨👩👧 Ideal for couples or families of 3–4
📍 Quiet Gulf Place location, away from heavy 30A traffic
💬 Proactive, owner-managed communication from booking to checkout
Welcome to Top Shelf, a beautifully updated top-floor, corner condo in the heart of Gulf Place. With incredible Gulf views, private beach access just across the street, and everything walkable, this condo is ideal for couples and families of four seeking a calm, crowd-free 30A experience.
Guests consistently rave about the views, comfort, cleanliness, and communication—and many return year after year.
The Space
Top Shelf is thoughtfully designed for beach living. The condo is cozy in size and best suited for couples or families of up to four who plan to spend their days at the beach and enjoying the walkable area.
Storage space is streamlined, and many guests choose to pack lighter or use hallway wall space for luggage. What the condo may lack in square footage, it more than makes up for in location, views, comfort, and convenience.

Gulf Place community (quiet, walkable, family-friendly)
Multiple nearby beach access points help keep beaches uncrowded
Short drive to Seaside, Grayton Beach, and other 30A favorites
Pool access and on-site laundry facilities
