Yet another perfect visit to Gulf Place! We love the townhomes at the Courtyard! This one met all of our expectations, very clean, super comfortable beds always a bonus! Easy walk to beach, love the heated pools for the red flag beach days. Great family friendly community! We will be back!
The town home was roomy and comfortable. We had trouble with the Keurig coffer maker. We never figured out the workings of the TV. It would be nice if they had instructions. Communication with the management company was some what difficult.
My friends and I absolutely enjoyed our stay in your lovely townhome. Everything was easy from the beginning. The initial contact with Donna (the host) was a joy and she made the check-in process seamless. The home was just as pictured and the amenities are second to none! This beach location is THE BEST on 30A. I was concerned that the uniqueness of Gulf Place might have been stripped away since Alvin’s Island had acquired the darling boutique shoppes but it is still just as quaint and unique as it has been since my family & I’ve been coming…..I did however miss the SoHo stores and the 30A store but found them just down 30A in Seagrove. Gulf Place is TRULY a one of a kind destination and this townhome made it even more amazing. Having the Perfect Pig, Cava & Cakes, the coffee shop, Shunk Gulley, & Pecan Jacks at our fingertips is such a plus. We also love the little art area with outdoor shops and activities each year. We have been coming to Gulf Place for 6 years now and we feel as though we have found the perfect spot and now the perfect townhome. Thank you so much for sharing your home. Your home is spacious, well equipped, the screened in porch was lovely to sit and relax after being at the beach, and having our own designated parking spots at the home vs staying in the Gulf Place Inns condos (even though they are brand new and lovely too) was PERFECT!! We loved EVERYTHING about our stay!
Warmly,
Darla, Cindy, Jill, Krystal, and Jillian (The Girls Getaway)

Walkabout 30A was the perfect rental for our family's spring break! 5 minute walk to the beach and steps from one of three pools! The townhome was exactly as described on the website and super clean! We had no problems while there so never had to reach out to management. We loved being able to walk to many restaurants and shops. Our favorite was Shunk Gulley, Chef 30A and Stinky's Fish Camp (a little further of a walk but great when it's perfect weather)! We also loved ending our evening at Pecan Jack's for the best ice cream! Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful piece of paradise!
