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. 

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!

This condo got the job done, but it wasn’t exactly what we expected. We would stay here again, but not for the same price. We paid a lot for very little. The listing states that it can sleep 6 people. However, there were only 2 bath cloths left for us. We had to go buy more to get us through. Additionally, the listing makes it seem as if there is a washer and dryer in the unit, but it’s actually a shared washer and dryer down the hallway—this should be clarified in the listing. The master closet was full of stuff, including an additional lamp, and without removing everything from the closet, the closet was unusable. The lamp on the left side of the bed could not be turned on because it just flickered. The kitchen towels were not thoroughly cleaned upon arrival—there were bits of food on them. The tub had sand in it upon arrival, and didn’t drain properly and water would be up to our ankles before shower was over. Also, there was nowhere to wash our feet off at the beach access points (there was a hose, but no water flow), which is more of a Gulf Place issue than with the unit. This is probably why the tub was full of sand. Although chairs and an umbrella were not expected to come with this unit, I will mention that the ones in the deck box for use are very rusted and one was broken. We didn’t feel comfortable using them, so we rented our own. Again, this was not expected to be provided at all, so we weren’t upset with this—just want others to know to bring your own.

Great place to stay!

We loved our stay. The location is perfect, right across the street from three beach access walkways. Can see the water and the sunset from the balcony! Pool was heated, and we enjoyed the hot tub. Beds were comfy and the kitchen had the basic essentials. Pecan Jack’s for ice cream was right down the block, and lots of food options were nearby. We loved it!

Great Location and Convenience

We loved the property location and the size of the balcony and view were great. We were also glad its was on the top floor because we could hear some of the neighbors below us, we couldn’t imagine how bad the noise would be if we were not on the top floor. The furniture could be a little better quality and be refreshed, it was definitely low end “rental” furniture. Overall a great value to be on 30a.

Great location. Needs a deep cleaning and maintenance.

I spent 3 days during spring break with my three daughters (11, 9, 4) at this unit. We arrived at check-in time and walked into a musky-smelling unit that was clearly not cleaned with any attention to detail. There was a clump of lint on the master bed, the main bathroom's shower fixtures were covered in scale, the shower curtain was stained pink with mildew, the bathroom rug had dirt on it (has it ever been washed?), there was gunk on the ladder of the bunk beds, visible dirt on the kitchen table, and red/stickiness on two of the six dining chairs. My oldest and I spent 30 minutes just wiping down surfaces so we could be comfortable. The unit also had several maintenance issues that we called attention to, including broken handles on the microwave and sliding glass door. The shower head was also not functioning properly, so you had to stand up against the wall to get any water. I'm not one to complain, and I'm a pro at camping/roughing it. But walking into someone else's dirt was disgusting. I texted the property managers, who responded right away, offering to have the cleaning crew arrive the next day ( I declined... my daughter and I cleaned instead) They also sent a maintenance person over to look over the broken handles. Everyone from RealJoy was kind and empathetic. I understand they manage several properties and that the week we arrived was a busy one for Spring Breakers. But I highly suggest taking this off VRBO, giving it attention, and then relisting.

Family vacation at Gulf Place

We had a wonderful time at the Cabanas at Gulf Place. The location cannot be beat! My husband, me, and our two kids fit comfortably in this unit. We were tight on space to put our luggage but got creative with using the closet and top bunk for storage. The unit could use fresh paint and linens as a simple freshen up. The view made this unit perfect! Biggest downfall (as shared with the property mgrs) was construction outside our door. We were notified the day we arrived and made nap time for the kids tricky.

Great location

This unit is in a great location if walking to things is what you like. We loved we could walk to Shunk Gulley or other restaurants and not have to get in traffic. Overall the unit was nice, the door was almost impossible to open at check in and we called for a long while with no response from maintenance. The unit is stocked with everything you could need. It was nice but could use a good thorough cleaning of the couch and rugs. The front bedroom is very bright at night due to the hallway light and was hard for us to sleep at night. We would suggest darkening curtains.

Two concerns

The management company was extremely responsive to any of my questions or needs! I absolutely loved the location and the apartment was overall clean. My two complaints are as follows: The sliding glass door is dangerous! It is almost impossible to open the door to get out onto the beautiful balcony. We booked this condo because of the balcony. It has beautiful views but what’s the point if you can’t open the door. The handle is broken which makes it even dangerous. My second complaint is the TV in the living room. I did everything as follows with the two different remote controls but I could not figure it out. Management company came up while I was not there and rebooted it but I still could not get it to work. There was lots of good football on which we were unable to watch because of this issue. I would definitely return but I’d be extremely disappointed if these issues weren’t addressed.

Quick Trip

The rental was basically all I expected. It was small. It worked well for my husband, myself and our 9 year old daughter. If our 13 year old son would have stayed with us too (he stayed with friends in a rental across the street) it would have felt very cramped. We used the bottom bunk to house our suitcases, as there was not much room for them otherwise they would have been in the way. The common space was nice and we enjoyed the balcony! A few lights needed lightbulbs replaced, and the 1/2 bath sink didn’t drain well. But otherwise we were satisfied. For a last minute booking, a quick trip, and a great price, we enjoyed our stay!

Great location but property needs attention

The location is great with beach access directly across the street. However, we were less than pleased with the cleanliness of this property upon check-in. We found dirty sheets, a dirty bathroom, and a dirty kitchen upon our arrival. RealJoy sent someone out quickly to review the status of the condo but clearly, this was not how we want to start our vacation. The cleaning company was not available to come out until the next morning to address the issues so we had to stay in a dirty condo overnight. The condo is located on the 4th floor and has spectacular views from the balcony but the sliding glass door needs to be fixed. It was not easy to slide open/close as it should be. It took the strength of using both upper arms to pull open/close. We notified RealJoy but this was not fixed during our stay. The condo also says it sleeps 6 people but that is a stretch if you’re a group of adults. There is only one shower that everyone has to share, walls are thin. The bunk room is small, dark, and very awkward. It is best suited for children. Lastly, for goodness sake replace the refrigerator. If you look at reviews this has been a common complaint for years. Yes, it works, although the bottom door does get stuck. Overall the fridge shows signs of age and dirt which is not what you want to store your food inside. The property manager was responsive but given the opportunity again we would not choose this property for all the reasons mentioned above. If you’re a small family with children this may be a good fit for you.
