Area Attractions: 

The Gulf Place community is located along a 26-mile stretch of sugar-white sand and turquoise waters of Northwest Florida’s celebrated Emerald Coast. As one of the 16 distinct beach neighborhoods in South Walton, it has its own distinct character and charm. This colorful community on 30A is comprised of 25 acres located in the heart of Santa Rosa Beach on the corner of 30A and 393. Gulf Place was specifically designed to slow visitors and locals down with palm tree-lined streets, wide sidewalks, colorful outdoor patios with large umbrellas, nature walking trails, green spaces and ample park benches to sit and enjoy the views.  Gulf Place is unique from all the other South Walton neighborhoods.  Residents and guests gather here to enjoy original art, boutique shopping, local cuisine, live music and a laid back atmosphere. 

This condo is less than 2 miles to Santa Rosa Golf and Beach Club.  It's also a 20-Minute Drive to Silver Sands Outlet Mall or 15 minutes to Grand Blvd's many shopping and dining options, including a Grand movie theater.  

The snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Seahorse Reef, deployed in 2017. Located just 715 feet out from the Topsail Hill Preserve State Park access, it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Seahorse Reef is at a depth of 13-18 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!ouches throughout

I’d like to give more, but one star is all I got.
I’ve reached out to find out a contact email for the owner of this property as well as rental management email, please respond so I can send photos and details of our stay at this unit. The list of disappointments is too long to type on this review. If you stay here, bring your own cleaning supplies to use before you touch anything, and also be aware that there is AMPLE construction going on right outside and around the unit. (Before the response says you’re not in control of that, I know…. But it should be CLEARLY communicated to the paying guest just how much their condo will be disrupted during their vacation.)

This unit was clean, well maintained, and perfect for our family of four adults. Very walkable to the beach with a pool and heated spa. The kitchen is well equipped with a stove, huge ref, oven and dishwasher. There’s a blender to make smoothies. And, eating out is no problem as there are restaurants nearby. Highly recommended!

Great Location!
Gulf place is a short walk to the beach, restaurants and shopping. The location was perfect. The condo was just like the pictures and clean. This property did not have small detail items I am used to such as laundry pods, coffee filters, coffee pods, etc. You would have to bring your own, which is inconvenient for a short stay. Also, the TV in the guest room did not work the entire stay. Please be aware, that the condo is on the second floor. Overall, again, the location makes up for these things if you are able to bring these items along and can get the TV working.

Gulf Place Caribbean 204 was nice and spacious. I came for an extended Thanksgiving and ended up alone, which gave me way more room than I needed. But I enjoyed checking it out as we are also staying there for the Songwriters Festival. A big highlight was the porch for watching the lunar eclipse.

204 Caribbean
The unit is very nice, and we enjoyed it. The late check-in time was difficult. A friend who works for property management companies in Santa Rosa Beach said that 4:00 is later than most places she’s familiar with. I’m a senior citizen and was really tired and hot after driving so long to get there. The children also came from far away places, and the young grandchildren were tired. We definitely enjoyed it after we got settled in. We also wondered about the clean up part and don’t recall being asked to strip the beds when we’re paying for a cleaning service. I like for my home or rental place to be neat and clean, and even asked my messy kid to clean up again after he thought he was done. The other kid is neater.

This was our second summer vacationing at Gulf Place. This unit is leaps and bounds better than the other. I was a little put out by the lack of communication from the agency leading up to our check in, I like to have all information ready to go and that just wasn’t the case. However, I can overlook all of that because of what a great condo this is. Highly recommend.

Great but some disappointments
The property and location are great, stayed here before. What what so disappointing was having to call for repairs. We rent a condo for vacation so we can do laundry and cook as we have two small children. Well...the dryer was broke. Apparently, a known issue, very frustrating to find out after you have been on hold for 10 minutes. Alternate arrangements were made although certainly not as convenient. Then, we go to use the oven and it is ALSO BROKE. Called for a repair on that which also took a long time on hold, then someone had to come and of course by the time the part came, we would be gone. I get that stuff breaks, but to have to call on both appliances and this is the main reason we book condos for vacation was very disappointing.

Really enjoyed the place. In a nice location. Walking distance to nice unique stores to shop and restaurants. Very close to beach. Room was super nice and well maintained. Had issue with AC but it was fixed quickly. Only negative thing was couldn’t get the TV to a station. Too many remotes, wasn’t able to just turn it on and watch. This was in all rooms. Other than that was an awesome stay.
