    ◆ Beach access that stays quieter than Seaside & Rosemary Beach

Step onto your private balcony with a morning coffee and you'll understand immediately why guests come back year after year. Gulf Place sits in the sweet spot of 30A, genuinely walkable in a way most of the corridor isn't, with a beach access point that stays quieter than the heavily trafficked stretches near Seaside and Rosemary Beach. Same scenic highway. Half the crowds.

This condo was perfect for my husband and myself. Kelli was very responsive to any questions we had before and during our stay. The condo is in an excellent location. We enjoyed not having to get in the car if we didn't want to and that we had several restaurants, coffee shops, retail shops, and a convenient store within the complex. The beach is so convenient, just a short walk across the street and views are spectacular. We will definitely visit this condo again!!

Great view of the beach. 4-5 minutes from leaving our door to sitting in the sand.The pool in the condo was closed for resurfacing, and we were not aware until we arrived. It would not have changed our plans and there are other pools on the property--but it should be disclosed.

Wonderful unit. Several small touches that made this rental feel upscale. The view was great. The area had cute shops and food but somehow also seemed private. We didn’t go to the pool but the entire building seemed clean and well taken care of. Loved our time at Top Shelf.

Just like the pictures

This was a great rental. It looks just like the pictures. Perfect for a family of four. Location is a quick walk to the private beach. The public beach next door was much more crowded. The rental was clean and well stocked. Drinking coffee on the balcony and watching the waves was awesome. Also you are walking distance to some good choices for food. The night we were there they had live music in the lawn behind the condo building. The kids made friends and threw the football while we enjoyed the music. Quick tip: if you like to sleep in total darkness you should bring a sleep mask as there is some light that comes into the master from the hallway. Also really proactive communication from the owners.
