Had a fantastic time at this property. I highly recommend taking the Island Time Snorkel trip to Shell Island. Also the I Can't Decide at Bayou on the Beach!
Danny is a friendly host and the property has all you need for a great stay.
We truly enjoyed our visit at Gulf Highlands! The gated community feels very safe. You have a short walk to the beach. It’s very close to come back for lunch. The condo has everything you need! There are a lot of beach toys, beach chairs, umbrella and even a beach wagon to use!! You can’t go wrong in staying here!! Danny even checked on us during our stay.
We had a great stay at Dan’s place for spring break. He has everything you need and it’s in a great location. Dan is awesome, he helped me find someone to give me a jump start when I was in desperate need and also helped play an April fools joke on the kids. I look forward to staying here again soon. Thanks again Dan for allowing us to make memories of a lifetime with many more to come.
Everything was great! But the just made the biggest impact. It’s nice to have people that still care about other people and their happiness. He made it extra special just by caring about us and our stay. It was great! That’s why we booked it again for next year! Can’t wait!!
Danny was an awesome host.. whether before our trip or after, he would immediately respond to any question I had. The unit had been updated since the pictures that were shown in the VRBO listing, and this was a pleasant surprise. The grounds of the property and the many amenities were just as listed, and the beach was a short 4-5 minute walk. I would definitely rent this property again and look forward to doing so....

My 2 children, husband, and I traveled to PCB for a softball tournament. We stayed for a week at Dan's place. It was perfect for us. The place has been updated and it was decorated beautifully. The beds were comfortable and clean. There were plenty of towels. The AC was cold. The washroom was accessible from inside. It backs up to putt-putt and two pools within walking distance. We didn't need to rent a golf cart, though the kids really wanted to. We parked our truck at the closest pool and walked to the beach. Dan had everything we needed, chairs, beach toys, umbrella, and even a wagon. The kitchen had all the appliances and pots I needed for cooking. I appreciated Dan calling to make sure everything was going great. We will definitely be staying here again!
Unit was as advertised and clean. Walk to the beach was very manageable. The amount of people on the beach day was undescribable. Will probably relive to a less crowded area in the future is we come in June or July.

Awesome Vacation
We love staying at Gulf Highlands. It's a nice gated resort. Lots of friendly people and Danny is great to rent from.
We had a great stay! Pools and putt putt are right out the back door and the walk to the beach is easy. The condo was clean and had everything we needed for a great stay. We will definitely be back!
Danny was a very good host kept in constant contact with us to make sure everything was going ok for us couldn't ask for a better host and the condo and community was very nice highly recommend
Great place for a beach vacation for a family with pets! The community has multiple pools, putt putt golf course (right behind the condo), and a little playground (for young kids). A little walk to the beach, but easy access. Owner is very friendly and attentive!
Danny was great to work with and kept in touch to make sure all was going well for our vacation. The gated community is well kept and close to the beach. The provided beach wagon was a perk and very helpful to have on the walks to the beach. The condo could use a few updates but it was clean and we felt safe.

Great week with my family and a great place to stay!
Nice quiet gated community with great amenities. The unit was clean and located in the close of everything (Pool, gates, walked to beach everyday, put put golf). Easy access to the beach, entertainment, and all of the supplies that the we needed. Definitely a great place to stay. Owner Danny was easy to work with great communication. Thanks for being pet friendly!
Dan has thought of everything to make for a wonderful beach vacation! The condo is clean, has great amenities inside and out. We enjoyed putt-putt golf, pools, work out room, and of course the beautiful beach! Easy walk to gulf especially with wagon. Cooler, golf clubs & balls, beach toys included. Definitely looking forward to renting again.
We had a great time staying here! Danny is awesome and was wonderful to work with even when VRBO had an IT issue. Place is clean, well stocked, and close to a lot. Only thing I could add if was optional would be a golf cart to rent there since they don’t allow the outside rentals. Thanks. Will stay here again!
