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.

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!

We loved everything about the condo. It was very clean, very well stocked, decorated nicely and plenty of room for everyone. The view from the balcony was excellent! The Santa Rosa/Gulf Place area was beautiful. We spent all day, every day at the beach, which was gorgeous with the white sand and clear water.
