We walked everywhere! To eat, shop, the beach, all we needed and or wanted was a few steps away. Actually it made eating out to easy! We lived the 30A bike trail, stopping along the way for eats and drinks couldn’t have asked for much more.

We always love staying at Gulf Place because of its location and prices of accommodations. Walkimg out to the beach every morning and for a few sunsets really made our trip.
The condo was the perfect fit for our family of 4. Our daughters loved their bunk beds and their own bathroom right across from it. The view was fantastic and we had everything we needed in the condo!
Loved the location and ease of check-in at this adorable property. Perfect for a family, with a king bedroom and pullout sofa, plus 2 hall bunks for kids. The property was clean, well-stocked, and the king bed was so comfy. Had a great time and slept amazingly. Thanks so much for the great hospitality! Can't wait to come again.

Excited for this vaca, it was quite disappointing when we walked in to this unit smelling musty and mildewy. Not just a little. To the point we had to buy a candle to combat the smell, as did assumingly the last tenant as there was a half burnt candle still there. The unit was crammed with furniture making it feel very Closter phobic. Out on the deck, the patio furniture was rusted. and cushions were stained. There were floats and skid boards also occupying the small patio. Which was a shame, because the view was really nice. The bath mats were dingy and the patio curtain was was torn from the hook and the hemming was black on the floor. A couple of the bowls in the cupboard still have cereal stuck in them. When unpacking our bags, I discovered a cockroach under the bunkbeds. It was on its back so I thought it was dead until I pick it up and realized that it was not. I contact the host who responded immediately with "Im sorry. Just one or plural?" I told them we were still checking but had encountered 2 so far. NO RESPONSE. When attempting to access the Beach, the code provided by the Host did not work. Again we contacted them to which they responded with "that should be the August one" "But try the July one" which also did not work. We stood at the gate until a couple came to get in and provided us with the one they used. It was neither of the ones our host provided. Finally, as we where leaving, we loaded the dishwasher per instruction and suds leaked out. NEVER AGAIN
Great location, nice view, access to beach and multiple pools in short distance made this a great stay for us, laundry facilities a plus. Great for a couple or small family. Lots of places within walking distance, and location is great for short drive to visit other places!
Everything was wonderful - we love this condo & plan to come back again soon! Very comfortable, great location, and the hosts were so helpful & kind! Excellent! Five stars!

Seamless, Cute, Convenient, Exactly what We Needed, Want to Get a Bed Like That at Our House!
Beautiful condo in a perfect location for a vacation. Only issues were when we checked in there were no paper towels or dish soap and soon found out there was two half rolls of toilet paper in the bathers an only 1 replacement. Thankfully we only stayed a few days. Messaged the owner who said they would remedy but unfortunately did not happen. Also the pool at cabana was closed due to construction and the other pool/hot tub heater was broken and was rather cold so we stayed at beach.
Great location, not right on the beach but so close. You can walk to a lot of local shops, eatery’s, bars. Did I mention, this is the best beach I’ve ever seen, warm, clean, white powdery sand. You can’t beat it.

We've been enjoying '30A' beaches since we were kids and our three children have grown up vacationing here as well. Being less than three hours away, we visit 30A year round 'Makin' Memories' together. We can't wait to serve you as you vacation in a place we call our home away from home.
