About this property

WishYouWereHere, completely renovated 3rd floor condo with classic coastal vibes

  • Escape to a peaceful beach retreat at Gulf Place Caribbean, a charming resort community along scenic Florida State Road 30A, perfectly located between Destin and Panama City Beach. Free from high-rise hotels and heavy crowds, this area offers a relaxed coastal atmosphere.

    Our third-floor condo features beautiful ocean views and is just a 3–5 minute walk across a boardwalk to the sugar-white sand and emerald waters of Santa Rosa Beach. The private balcony overlooks a tranquil lake and offers comfortable seating for enjoying sunsets or morning coffee.

    Inside, the bright open living space includes a leather sofa, recliner, and 55" TV with cable and streaming, flowing into a dining area for six plus three barstools and an updated kitchen with granite countertops fully stocked with cookware, appliances, and a rolling cooler for beach days.

    The condo comfortably sleeps six adults with:

    Primary bedroom: King bed with Tempur-Pedic mattress and private bath

    Second bedroom: Two queen beds and adjoining bath

    Hallway bunk beds: Perfect for kids

    TVs with cable and streaming in both bedrooms

    Guests enjoy easy beach access via a private sandy walkway and convenient amenities at nearby Gulf Place Town Center, including shops, bike rentals at YOLO Board + Beach, live music, and local dining such as The Perfect Pig, Pizza by the Sea, and Shunk Gulley Oyster Bar.

    The Beaches of South Walton are famous for their 26 miles of pristine shoreline, recognized with the Blue Wave Environmental Certification for exceptional water quality and natural beauty.

    Perfect for families or couples looking for a relaxing beach escape just steps from the sand.

We had the best stay! Everything was as pictured, clean, well organized, well stocked, and great location! Gulf Place atmosphere is so fun! We loved the location was where you can walk to multiple restaurants and amenities easily and the walk to the beach is short and nice. Would stay here again, thank you!

We had a great family trip! It was outlr 2nd stay at gulf place and we love having the pool access and a very short walk to the private beach. Many complain about crowded beaches along 30a, but that has never been the case there. Property was well stocked and met our needs. Owner was great and responded very promptly.

The condo was exactly as pictured and described. Contact with the owners was quick and easy. We all really enjoyed the layout of the condo and appreciated the cleanliness and the cute decor. The balcony was one of our favorite places to hang out, with a great view. We would 100% come back to this property. Thank you!

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 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.

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.

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!

This is our 2nd time staying at Gulf Place Caribbean, 1st time at Wish You Were Here. We booked again already for next year. With the recent updates, everything looks great. The condo was very clean and well stocked. I especially appreciated all the glass containers with covers as it was easy to store leftovers in. Could use a few more forks, otherwise, grab some plastic ones before you arrive. The beds are comfortable. We love the view of the water and being able to see the hot tub and pool. The area feels very safe and kid friendly. Thank you Mike and all for a great stay!
