Gulfside is exactly as it looks in the pictures, if not better. The pool was oversized for such a small complex and was completely private from all neighboring houses and passing cars. The walk to the beach was only about 5 minutes and we brought the provided beach towels as well as the beach chairs and coolers that guests can use. As a hotel manager myself, I was impressed with how clean and fresh smelling the room was and I’m a tough critic. For an older property, it was very well maintained and again, very clean. Jim, the property manager, was extremely friendly and helpful by offering suggestions for just about everything we needed for our weeklong getaway. I highly recommend Gulfside and the only thing I would change on a future visit is to reserve a larger unit for a little more space to stretch out.
