About this property

Cozy 4th Floor 2 BR/2 BA Condo in Gulf Place. Awesome view. Netflix included.

This fourth-floor 2 BR/2 BA condo has an awesome view of the Gulf from its balcony. Free Netflix. Pickleball courts on property. Heated pool and spa.

Our building underwent significant improvements in the past year. The stairways have been renewed, the balconies refurbished and the elevator modernized. Gulf Place Caribbean remains the crown jewel of Gulf Place.

Gulf Place itself has been significantly upgraded. Still, it has the same Gulf Place vibe and numerous amenities have been added all within walking distance. The tennis court has been resurfaced and three Pickleball courts have been added.

Several restaurants are on property, most notably Renaissance, a cozy French-themed bistro with exceptional menu choices.

Rates have not changed from last year and now is the time to book for spring and summer of 2025.



For the interior of the unit we did a major overhaul in 2019, but now we are continuing to renew and refurbish the unit. We replaced the sofa and replaced the love seat with two comfortable armchairs. New dining room chairs were added and we replaced the aging balcony set with two poly wood, bar-height Adirondack chairs. A little paint here, a new lamp there but it's the same welcoming environment with the spectacular view of the Gulf that only units on the top floor have.

Also, an LG 50" flat screen smart TV and Blu-Ray player offer access to the major streaming video services, including Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, YouTube and others. Updated colors throughout and many other updates and conveniences. We are constantly looking for ways to add value.

*****Please note. During the summer season, we are accepting bookings on a Saturday-to-Saturday basis.**********

We accept credit cards, (Visa, MasterCard and Discover) as well as e-Checks through Vrbo, a secure website.

*** As a prospective guest, you should be aware that if the VRBO listing is done by an additional management company, additional charges could be added. This is in addition to the VRBO booking fee. As our only rental property, our only additional charge is a modest cleaning fee, one of the lowest in the building. ***

We have a security deposit that is usually returned as soon as the cleaning team clears the unit.

Enjoy panoramic Gulf views from our lovely two-bedroom, two-bath fourth (top) floor condo. The condo's private balcony and two sets of French doors overlook the private lake and the Gulf of Mexico. Beautiful emerald green waters and sugar-white sandy beaches are just across the street. This popular vacation condo is in the heart of quaint but vibrant Gulf Place Community and is one of the most popular condos on the Beaches of South Walton's prestigious Scenic 30-A.

OUR CONDO:
Sleeping accommodations include a king bed in master with private bath, a king bed in the second bedroom and bunk bunks recessed into the hallway. We have recently installed luxurious, hotel-quality pillow top mattresses in both bedrooms. Also available is a 'Pack-n-Play' for an infant as well as a booster chair and child's step stool. The complex features a convenient elevator, charcoal grills, and three pools (two heated) with sundeck & jacuzzi, tennis courts, shuffleboard and corn-hole . Our condo also has FREE WI-FI from a dedicated cable modem. The building also has luggage carts to help guests move-in and move-out.

THE AREA:
If you are a fan of Google Maps, see the link above. If you like Google Earth, enter 30 degrees, 20' 54.22' N and 36 degrees, 13' 56.85' W. You will be able to see Gulf Place's 3 pools, 2 tennis courts, the croquet pitch and amphitheater.

Two websites that are particularly nice are www.30a.com and www.sowal.com. Both have webcam links and a couple of the webcams are nearby.

Gulf Place is quiet and peaceful (no high rises, traffic or congestion) yet easily accessible to Destin and Panama City's many entertainment attractions such as Gulfarium, scuba diving, Big Kahuna water park, dolphin cruises, fishing, go-cart tracks, miniature golf, numerous restaurants and the Silver Sands Outlet Mall (the largest upscale outlet mall in the Southeast). Two new Publix Grocery stores have just opened nearby.

A GREAT PLACE FOR A FAMILY VACATION, WEDDING PARTIES AND REUNIONS:
When you are not enjoying the quiet beaches, you may walk to local boutiques, restaurants and a coffee cafe. Bikes are available at a local bike shop. The Gulf Place Amphitheater offers family events and a large grassy area for kids to play. Additional amenities include: tennis, two cornhole courts, shuffleboard and nature trails for walking or jogging.

Challenging golf is available at Santa Rosa Country Club immediately adjacent to the Town Center. Come and enjoy a vacation that offers emerald green waters, sugar white beaches, the peacefulness of Gulf Place (30A) and the proximity to Destin, Seaside and Panama City attractions.

This rental was exactly as advertised. The unit was clean, well equipped, and in a great location. The private beach access was just a short walk away and we appreciated that beach chairs and umbrellas were provided. Lots of shops and restaurants are within walking distance making everything very convenient. Communication with the host was easy and prompt. We would definitely consider staying here again in the future.

We had a great stay at Lookout at the Beach! The owners were responsive and provided all instructions and many other details just in case you need it. They also provided 6 nice beach chairs and two umbrellas which saved us packing space. The walk to the beach was short and easy, lots of places to walk around and get ice cream or food, a green space and amenities such as heated pools, tennis and pickleball courts and shuffleboard too. The condo was beautiful and very clean, it also had very comfortable beds. The water view from the balcony, kitchen and living room were beautiful! We loved the private access to the beaches, no crowds with plenty of space by the water to relax. We would love to come back to this condo in the future!

Great Stay on 30-A

Our stay at Lookout on the Beach was excellent. This condo was exceptional. The location was great but the owners attention to detail was exceptional. The info provided, the attention to detail, the comfort, take a book to describe how the owners have decorated and provided every feature you can imagine. Great stay thanks to Steve and Anne.

Great Stay!

We've stayed at Gulf Place Caribbean before, and this unit was much nicer than previous units. The kitchen was well stocked, bathrooms were renovated, beds were high quality and comfortable. They had extras like beach chairs, pool towels, etc. It's a short walk to the beach, which is really the selling point of this area - white sandy beaches are spectacular. We had a wonderful time!

Excellent!

We loved our recent stay at Anne & Steve's place! The condo was clean, well equipped, and the location was great. Lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance; we especially enjoyed The Perfect Pig and Shunk Gulley. I traveled with my parents, who usually like to stay directly on the beach, so I was worried about the view. But there was no need to be worried! the view of the gulf was amazing and both my parents did not stop raving about how much they loved the view and the location of this condo. We would definitely consider staying here again on future trips to 30A!

Nice location, good price

Really enjoyed our stay here! Condo was in great location across street from beach & we loved the pool for our son. The condo was good size for us, but the bathrooms were really small & a bit outdated. Could definitely use more hooks in there for suits & towels too. Gulf place has great restaurants so we took advantage of awesome convenience. Overall great stay!

Response from VrboOwner on 18 Mar 2020
This is our first review with fewer than five stars. While we cannot do anything about the size of the bathroom, we will take a look to see if additional hooks can be added. Perhaps an additional drying rack to the one already in the condo or an additional towel rack. We do take guest comments seriously and have always insisted on making the condo clean, comfortable and convenient. We will continue to do so.

Fabulous Fall Break

We had an amazing trip at "Lookout at the Beach" in Gulf Place Santa Rosa Beach, FL. The owners thought of everything and the condo was perfect! They provided details before our stay and had everything we needed during our trip. They even have a binder full of local information, restaurants & menus, etc. to reference in the condo. The views front the top floor of the beach balcony, kitchen, & den were incredible. The walk across to the beach was very short and also convenient to lots of other shops and restaurants. The beds and bathrooms were very comfortable and the condo was very clean. Mostly tile throughout and fans in every room. We loved it and will definitely be back! Thank you!

"Lookout At The Beach" is a wonderful place to stay!

Our family just returned from a 5-night stay. This condo has everything you need to have a fun, comfortable and relaxing stay at the beach. The view is stellar. We spent every morning and afternoon eating breakfast and lunch on the balcony looking out toward the gulf and watching the turtles and fish in the pond below. The communication with the owner was exceptional. Their emails and text prior to, during and at our departure provided all of the information we needed to make our stay feel like home. We have been visiting Gulf Place Caribbean for almost 30 years and the location and beach access are the things that keep bringing us back. You can stay here and enjoy the local restaurants without having to travel every time you go out. If you just want to chill, hangout, and relax "Lookout At The Beach" is a wonderful way to do it!
