We were truly disappointed not to be able to access the gulf cart during our week stay. We were notified the week prior that it was not working. The reason we picked this property was the benefit of the gulf cart so we felt like it should have been made right by the owners. It seemed a little like false advertising and the gulf cart was never going to be made accessible during our stay. Everything else was lovely.

Thank you for your feedback. We completely understand your disappointment regarding the golf cart and sincerely regret that it was unavailable during your stay. As soon as we learned of the mechanical issue, we notified you before your arrival so you had the opportunity to make an informed decision, and we appreciated your understanding at that time. While the golf cart is a complimentary perk provided with the home rather than a separately purchased amenity, we certainly want every guest to be able to enjoy it whenever possible. Unfortunately, unexpected mechanical issues can occur despite our best efforts to maintain it. We're pleased to hear that you otherwise enjoyed your stay and found everything else lovely. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope we'll have the opportunity to welcome you back for a stay where you can enjoy the home and all of its included features.

Our stay was perfect! The accommodations were as advertised. The pool is just outside the back door, the close proximity to dining, entertainment, shopping, and THE BEACH were all incredible. You never have to leave this area to enjoy paradise! Our daughter even got married….we rented the greenspace in town center. It was INCREDIBLE!

Gulf Place Gem

Love this spacious Gulf Place townhouse. Decorated beautifully, fully stocked kitchen with all the gadgets, beautiful decor and having a golf cart was a plus. Made it very easy to get back-and-forth to the beach. The Sandpiper rental was fabulous!! Would definitely love to come back for a visit!

Beautiful Place

Southern Exposure is a beautiful, very well appointed townhome in a fantastic location . We all agreed we would be happy to stay here again. The ONLY thing missing was a television in the large secondary bedroom. Everything else you could ask for was provided! The golf cart was such a nice addition, too!

Relax and Rejuvinate

Home was extremely comfortable and clean. It was just my husband and I, so we never even used the other two bedrooms. Communication after hours was top notch when we had a slight emergency. Home was decorated very tastefully and had everything we needed. I love how I felt like I was in the peaceful serene woods The pool was so beautiful and relaxing and just outside the door. We pretty much rode our bikes everywhere. It's a safe area to walk and beautiful too. The white sand, emerald waters and many beautiful sunsets made this quite a memorable vacation. I would highly recommend this property.

The townhome was very clean, however there were crumbs on the bed side in the middle room with 2 queens. The kitchen lacks adequate tea towels but we made it work. I purchased bath mats for the two upstairs bathrooms as the flimsy little towel mat is awful. We have stayed in this home two times and love it! It could use more blankets to cover furniture. The temperature (thermostat) is CRAZY! The 3rd floor twin room was MISERABLY HOT as the thermostat was set to raise the temp at random times during the day and this caused the 3rd floor room to be completely unacceptable temperature wise. We had to get a hotel two different nights as it was too hot to sleep in the bedroom upstairs. This was a huge inconvenience and major expense that could’ve been avoided. However, the management company addressed the issue but one night it was 10:30 pm before the young man (very sweet) was able to fix the issue. ALWAYS keep the thermostat at 70, this maintains the airflow and verify they do not have it set on a timer! If they would’ve told us the “no less than 70 degrees trick”, we wouldn’t have had the issue, which happened 3 times! If you make sure they do NOT have it on a timer, and NEVER drop below 70, you will be fine! The home is in perfect proximity to the beach and honestly PERFECT….minus the temperature control issue in the twin room! We would most certainly rent this home again. Especially knowing how to manage the temperature. It wasn’t an issue once we had the knowledge!

We are thrilled you continue to stay here, and so sorry the AC gave you issues this time around. The unit has been completely replaced, as of Sept 2026, so should not be a problem moving forward. We hope to host you again, and with the NEW AC!

Plusses and minuses

Overall the property is nice and is located in a very quite and safe community. The property itself seemed "tired" and wasn't very clean when we arrived - the floors had a dirty film all over them and the kitchen pans and plates had to be rewashed as they still had food particles on them. Many of the blinds didn't work and couldn't be raised, leaving the place rather dark inside (required lights to be on). The community is kinda "tired" too as many of the shops have been closed and the ones that weren't were moving out because Alvins Island is buying up the properties. They are also starting construction on a large parking ramp adjacent to the property. Not sure where that will leave the quaint community. There is very quick and easy access to the beach though and we found that very enjoyable. The weather was quite cool so we weren't able to benefit from the pool. All in all the price seemed a bit high for what you actually got.

Thank you for your review. We are happy to see you enjoyed your stay. However, we are a bit surprised by some of the comments in this review. This property, and the Gulf Place community, is far from "tired." These owners do a fantastic job keeping it up to date and had just finished painting the entire interior prior to your arrival. It is extremely well appointed and clean. Our housekeeping manager took extra time prior to your arrival to ensure things were pristine. Upon your arrival and initial complaint, we also said we would send housekeeping back by and you declined. We are sorry it was not up to your standards. Gulf Place is vibrant and lively with new and fun restaurants, shops and weekly festivities happening all the time. During your winter stay, there was a bit of a transition happening with new shops and restaurants coming in. This is a natural time for these things to happen to prepare for the season. Alvin’s Island did purchase some of the shopping area, but has plans to build on the artistic and boutique environment that we already love so much. Walk-around wine Thursdays, Shunk Gulley and Perfect Pig are walking distance, and the pools and tennis courts are fantastic!

Home was beautiful! Whoever did the decorating on this property is to be commended. Was very impressed with the communication level from the owner and the leasing agency leading up to our check in. We did have a communication issue with the leasing company while we were there. We were given incorrect access codes to the beach area twice. Finally got the correct code from another resident. Got incorrect info concerning beach chair rental. Again, got the correct info from another resident. Had a maintenance issue on trash pickup while we were trying to leave. Could not reach anyone at the leasing agency by phone or text. Took a while to get the issue resolved. All minor things. I will say when we go back to the area, we will check on this particular unit. The owners have done a wonderful job with it and went the extra mile to make sure their guests were taken care of.

We loved everything about this beautiful cottage. It had everything we needed. Loved being able to walk to places and ride bikes. We cooked and we ate at some great restaurants. Beaches were clean and not super crowded. Our family had a wonderful time.
