☀️Top Floor-Gulf Views-Pools-30A-Gulf Place Getaway

Great vacation, beautiful and fun location!

A great location and reasonably priced condo!

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.

Only complaint us fridge didn’t get very cold.

The unit was in a great spot in relation to the beach and shopping/restaurants. Parking was easily accessible

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!

Wonderful property with everything you need for a great stay!

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.

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.

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.

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.
