    We had a wonderful vacation! The location was ideal with a easy short walk to the beach and everything we could need was there-- toys for the kids, umbrellas, chairs. The property is fabulous! The rooftop was the perfect spot to start and end the day and the property manager/owner was so easy to work with! We will definitely be back!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 night stay at Hal's Place. We love spending all day at the beach so the paddle board, umbrellas, beach chairs and wagons that came with the unit were a big hit. Management company was super friendly and responded quickly with any questions/comments. This was our 7th year coming to Summer Place for Fall Break and will be back next year. Great location, short walk to the beach, and restaurants.

    Overall it was a great vacation. The property was very clean, well equipped with top of the line amenities. There were a couple of minor things wrong with the property upon arrival that weren’t fix until the day prior to leaving but it was nothing that spoiled our trip or not want to rent this unit again.

    We had seen these beautiful townhomes on our many trips to shunk gulley and the Gulf Place area. We just did not know how to book them. We finally got connected to Beach Luxury Vacation Rentals who manages a couple of these. We rented the Awesome View rental and were more than pleased. The location and closeness to the beach are incredible which we knew. You are steps to two beach accesses and many restaurants. Awesome views was very nicely decorated with 4br/4 baths. We slept 8 very comfortably. TVs with cable in 3 rooms snd a game Tv in kids room. We were very exited to see the owner had a paddle board for us to use and many umbrellas and chairs. They even supplied us a beach cart to carry it to beach. This is a great pick that we will use a lot more. It was priced very reasonable priced as well to be so close to beach.

    Wow, this condo had it all. We were most pleased with the location. It was just steps to the beach using the Ed Walline beach access or the Shell Seekers beach access. As many people are driving around looking for parking, we just walked out the door and we are at the beach in 3 minutes by foot. It is located in the hart of Gulf Place and it was steps away from Shunk Gulley, Pizza by the sea, Perfect Pig, Sunrise Coffee shop, Growlers and Goatfeathers. This made for a very relaxing vacation. We did not need to fight the traffic in a car. The unit had a beautiful view of the ocean from the Rooftop deck which is on the 4th level. the Unit was very nicely decorated and had cable/streaming in every room with great wifi reception which my husband needed. The unit also provided a nice Yolo Paddle board, tommy bahama beach chairs, Umbrellas and a great cart to haul everything. That was a very nice surprise. We had a wonderful vacation and will be back to this unit. The Mgmt. was wonderful to work with.

    Our family enjoyed our vacation. The management company emailed us everything we needed and called us before our check in to answer any questions we had. The townhome was beautifully decorated and clean. We recommend anyone staying here who wants an easy and calm vacation.

    This home was perfect. It was closer to the beach than most of the people parking to visit the beach. The home was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The Tommy Bahama chairs, paddleboard and beach wagon were a huge bonus. We loved the community pool and the ocean view from the roof. The management Company was a pleasure to work with and very communicative. This made our trip very easy and enjoyable. We will definitely be back.
