Home away from home

This place really did feel like a home away from home to me. It was very cozy and clean. It was nice to be able to bring out two little dogs with us. Peaceful, quiet, great location, had everything we needed.

Love this property!

Great views. Spacious and comfy home. Loved the jacuzzi. Adeola aka DeeDee was so attentive to our needs, questions, etc. We will definitely be back. This was our first experience with a rental and Adeola made it so easy. Hubby and I went for an early 32nd anniversary weekend getaway and we did not want to leave.

Mini Getaway

We loved this house. The kitchen had everything you would need! The bedrooms are set up great and the bathrooms are well set up! We had 8 people: two families with 2 teenagers and two elementary age kiddos. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub and looking at the waves from the patio. The beach was an easy walk to the beach! Everything was great!

Wonderful beach stay for thxgiving

This is a wonderful beach view property with easy access to the beach. It was ideal for our family of 5 with 2 grandparents. The kitchen has full supplies. The living room has lots of gameboards and great seating. We enjoyed the hot tub. It is only available for 3 hours per day and you need to provide times in advance. Communication with host was very easy and very responsive. Lots of beach towels and supplies. Overall an excellent place to stay and spend thxgiving.

Best Beach House Ever!!!

We had the best weekend at the most beautiful and Amazing Beach House! The amenities at this place were incredible- pool, hot tub, outdoor living, spectacular views, and of course my favorite the Towel warmers in both bathrooms. The beds are comfy and everything was just perfect for our family. As your cooking in the beautiful kitchen- you see the gorgeous views of the ocean. We had the best time and now my family cannot wait to go back. Thanks to the owners for taking such great care of us!! Love! Love! Love this Beach House❤️❤️❤️❤️

Family getaway

This property was absolutely wonderful! The location was great everything was perfectly clean the kitchen had everything you could possibly need even down to multiple aprons. Sand toys and activities for the kids, they even had a food and water bowl for the puppy! The towels and linens were quality high quality the beds were all extremely comfortable there were even quite a few throw blankets in the living room. We had the pool and hot tub heated they were both perfect even with the less than ideal weather we were covered from the elements. I cannot say enough about how much my family enjoyed this rental and we will definitely book again!

Every detail covered

This home is loaded with amenities. The cookware and utensils were good quality. The outdoor cooking area was great. Beach towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, sand toys and outdoor games are provided. There were extra kitchen towels, dishwasher pods and laundry detergent available for use. Lots of things were included that other rentals lack. Many things were brand new and still had tags on them. I highly recommend this property.

AMAZING

Let me first say, DeeDee is amazing! Very quick at a response no matter the time and will answer all questions! The house is beautiful, location is perfect, The beach is a minute walk! She literally has everything you need, utensils, plates, tube ware, every appliance you could need, 2 sets of washers and dryer, an extra fridge in the garage for drinks. The area made it nice because it wasn’t as busy as other spots on the beach, Restaurants, grocery, gas, mini golf, donuts, are all within 10 minutes! Ferry is a 35 minute drive, If you are thinking about booking just do it! This place is worth every penny, the pool was nice for when we were done with the beach, outdoor shower is close so you can rinse off after the beach, Plenty of outdoor chairs to sit under the house and enjoy the shade and pool! I can’t say enough about this house and the host, we will be back! Thank you DeeDer for everything

Amazing house, meh beach

Stayed in this propriety for 3 days with my wife and 4 kids. We’ve stayed in many rentals over the years and, as far as beach properties go, this one was the best. The house is in immaculate condition and is well maintained and very clean. The kitchen was better stocked with utensils and other necessities than my own home. The owners were very prompt to return any communications and even met us upon arrival to explain a couple of things. The views were beautiful and the deck was a fantastic place to take in the beach vibes. I will say the pool was a little smaller than expected, but it was quite nice and shaded - just don’t expect to be doing any diving or vigorous activity in it. Now the beach itself definitely left a bit to be desired. I’m not sure if my review is completely accurate since they were still recovering from a hurricane, but it wasn’t that great. The water was very murky and my kids got stung by jellyfish multiple times. There was a lot of debris on the beach still and the pathway from the house to the beach was a real hike. Perhaps after some more time this will be better, but that was my experience. Again, as far as the house goes it was top shelf, but the beach was meh.

We had a fantastic stay and having a private pool and being able to walk straight out to the beach made the home and location special. Additionally, having an outdoor kitchen with a well equipped indoor kitchen we opted to dine in and enjoy the home more than we normally would. We will definitely return and highly recommend Gulfwinds for your next stay.
