Wish You Were Here

We invite you to stay at the perfect beach getaway in our highly sought after quiet resort of Gulf Place Caribbean, off of scenic Highway 30-A. It's free from high rise hotels, crowds, congestion and traffic, right in the middle of Destin and Seaside. We have a beautiful ocean view, the beach is located right across the street and over a boardwalk, about a 3 minute walk to our beach. Our 3rd floor condo has a balcony view that looks directly over a lake, and a private path that leads to the beautiful sugar-sand beaches and emerald waters of Santa Rosa Beach. This home away from home is furnished with all the basic necessities for relaxed living.

The inviting light and cheerful living area holds a very comfortable overstuffed sofa (sleeper) that seats 3, a new LA-Z- Boy recliner, cable TV with a new 32' Flat Screen LCD-HD-TV with built in dvd player, a stereo and cd player. The living area is open to the dining area and kitchen, and is great for relaxing or entertaining.
The kitchen has new cabinets and new granite counter tops and everything needed to make a large meal for the family. There's a full set of dishes, new pots and pans, new skillets, several sets of glasses, a coffee pot, toaster, microwave, blender, crock pot and just about every utensil needed. We even have a rolling igloo cooler that's handy for taking drinks poolside or to the beach. The dinning area is rather roomy, and has a table that can seat six. There are also two counter top chairs at the bar. It's just right for getting everyone together to reconnect and enjoy a meal with friends and family. Best of all, you can open the double French doors and enjoy the breathtaking views of the gulf from just about anywhere in the room, and at night, you can almost hear the waves rolling up on the shore.

The balcony on the back of the condo has a quiet, semi-private sitting area where you can watch our spectacular sunsets. There's comfortable seating for five and is perfect for your first morning cup of coffee, meals, games, or just relaxing.

The bedrooms are decorated in warm inviting colors and comfortably furnished. The master bedroom has a new KING SIZE bed with a new Tempur-Pedic Advantage Mattress, TWO Queen size beds in the second bedroom. Both bedrooms are equipped with new flat Screen HD-TV's with cable and streaming capabilities. Both bedrooms have a bathroom. The second bedroom’s bathroom has an entrance from the bedroom and from the hall. The condo will sleep 6 adults comfortably. There are two bunk beds that will sleep two children. Kids just love the recessed bunk beds in the hall. There's plenty of room for the whole family, but it’s also cozy enough for two.

The snow white sandy beach here is quiet, scenic and clean. Great for walking, sunbathing, swimming and playing in the water, and of course making sandcastles. The beach is just a short walk across the street by way of a private sandy walkway.

When you’re ready for a break from the beach, there's quite a bit of other things to do. In the town’s center. There’s an outdoor amphitheater and large grassy area where you can play ball or Frisbee with the kids, or watch and listen to a scheduled concert on Sunday nights in the summer. If you like shopping you’ll love the charming clothes shops Gidget’s, SOHO, or Hepburn’s (to name a few), or the decadent bath and body shop Pachouli’s. Or check out our local artist’s wares at the Artist’s of Gulf Place outdoor kiosks. You’ll also find YOLO Bike Rentals that carries lots of different sized bikes and other outdoor water equipment for rent as well. You’ll also find a surf shop, spa, and pharmacy on the property. If you’re hungry, there’s the a wonderful Coffee Shop where you can find great coffee and desserts. For casual in or outdoor dining, there’s also the Perfect Pig Restaurant, Pizza By the Sea or Shunk Gulley Oyster Bar for some fantastic regional seafood plates that offer an upstairs terrace with fantastic views to the gulf. If you’d rather cook, there are quite a few convenient grocery stores nearby and Publix and Wal-Mart with-in a 10-15 minute drive.. There are a couple of fresh seafood markets right in the town of Santa Rosa Beach also. Goatfeathers is about 2 miles (on 30A), and the best fish market around. You can eat there or take it back to the condo.

The Beaches of South Walton represent the nation's best beaches with its miles of unspoiled shoreline and natural habitat. It is designated as the only place in the country to receive the Blue Wave Environmental Certification from the Clean Beaches Council for all 26 miles of its coastline.

We love this area of FL

We enjoyed our stay greatly despite the current construction and improvements currently happening on all of the balconies in our building. We missed getting to sit out there but we did know ahead of time that we wouldn't be able to access it. They were working on the Elevator, and the second week, the pool & hot tub as well, which was a little frustrating. The condo itself was clean and very nice. The living and dining area was big enough that when another couple joined us for the 2nd week, we had plenty of room. It has a great kitchen area with granite counters & ALL the utensils, plates, cookware/bakeware that you could possibly need. We used it alot and enjoyed the new stove and microwave! Really nice Washer/Dryer as well. The Master was roomy with a King and good closet/dresser and nice bathroom with fluffy towels. The 2nd bedroom had 2 queens and another full bathroom which was nice. Bunk beds in the hallway would be handy if you had kids. Great large TV in living area and TV in each bedroom. Location was great; quick walk across 30A to the beach thru a private gate. We loved the heated pool as well, while it was open. The owner was always available to help with any issues. We would definitely stay here again. And construction should be done soon, so next visit we can enjoy the balcony and the view of the ocean from it!

Santa Rosa Beach

Property was just like described. You can see the ocean from the balcony, pool, hot tub and charcoal grill right below you. Condo was clean, kitchen has everything you could possibly need. Grandbabies enjoyed feeding the turtles with the turtle food left in the pantry. Really appreciated the washer/dryer as our bags got soaked at the airport. My only complaint is the elevator was out the first three days we were there. It was extremely difficult to haul all the luggage, food and beach stuff up three flights of stairs. Not really the owners fault but a heads up would've been nice. Also, the building is under construction. Temporary stairs, building material, but all in all a really nice place with great correspondence from the owners. Would definitely stay here again.

Great return visit

This is our second time staying in this unit, and it wont be our last! The location absolutely cannot be beat, and the space is just right for our family of four. Close proximity to the beach, shops, and restaurants. The unit is clean and well stocked. Only thing to note, and this is absolutely no fault of the owners, is that the exterior of the building is undergoing significant maintenance which resulted in the staircase closest to the unit being inaccessible (though this time there was a temporary staircase installed to be used which was not there on our first stay), and there are support columns on all of the balconies. Again, no fault of the owner, and didn't impact our stay, just something to be aware of.

Another wonderful family vacation at Gulf Place

The property is beautiful and just as described. We spent long days at the beach and definitely made use of the lovely pools. The weather was HOT and having access to the water was amazing. The condo is right acriss the street from the ocean. We went parasailing, visited Gulf Marine, dinner at Bayou Bills, Sunrise coffee, and Pecan Jacks ice-cream. A lovely and safe family vacation destination. We have visited five times previously and this won't be our last. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Great week at Wish You Were Here

We enjoyed our week at Wish You Were Here and would definitely come back again. To provide some quick notes: There is a Keurig in the kitchen! I don't recall this listed in the description but it should be! The unit was furnished nicer than we expected. The beds were comfortable. The balcony is very nice and has great chairs and table to relax out there. The view is about as advertised. While we didn't use them, there were several chairs, beach toys, and umbrella for use in the storage box on the balcony. Our son loved all the turtles in the pond as you walk to the beach. The beach is spectacular! The military jets flying over was also a highlight for my son. The main pool is often busy but the 2nd pool provided another option. There is some construction going on right now to the elevator shaft by the unit. It was really a non-factor for us and only having one elevator working wasn't an issue. The owners provided great communication throughout the whole experience!
