Gulf Place Retreat

Gulf Place Retreat is a recently completed residential enclave of three and four-bedroom single-family homes in Santa Rosa Beach. This 30A community has a lovely Old Florida-styled look with metal roofs and charming columned porches that invite guests to enjoy relaxation and the gulf breezes. Interiors feature state-of-the-art kitchens, luxury baths, and loads of creature comforts. The majority also include private swimming pools. The sensational location is just a short stroll away from the Ed Walline Public Beach Access with ample parking, picnic pavilions, restroom facilities, a gulf-view lookout tower, a wheelchair-friendly access ramp, and a seasonal lifeguard on duty.

This residential vacation neighborhood is named after the highly acclaimed Santa Rosa Beach village center of Gulf Place, which sits upon a soaring dune across from the gorgeous gulf. It is located at the intersection of Scenic 30A and Highway 393, placing residents a close distance away from other idyllic coastal villages. The walk-able Gulf Place village center features a wonderful collection of specialty shops, boutiques, and restaurants that wrap around an expansive two-acre grassy lawn amphitheater. This palm-lined amphitheater serves as a gathering place for live musical concerts, art and wine shows, and fun festivals throughout the year. During the summer, colorful mini-huts spring up around the grounds showcasing watercolors, oil paintings, folk art, pottery, glass mosaics, sculpture works, photography, jewelry, and beach-inspired clothing. This tropical setting sits beside some great local restaurants, friendly bars, fashion boutiques, specialty shops, galleries, a coffee shop, and a salon. The Gulf Place village center led to Santa Rosa Beach being named one of the top five favorite towns in the nation by Travel & Leisure Magazine.

This fantastic Santa Rosa Beach locale is only minutes away from popular restaurants, friendly beach bars, live music, grocery stores, and shopping adventures. The enchanting Village of Baytowne Wharf and the swank Sandestin town center of Grand Boulevard are less than ten minutes away towards the west. Each features a wide array of great restaurants, casual bars, specialty shops, and boutiques. Grand Boulevard also has a Publix grocery store and a multiplex movie theater with a VIP dining room to watch new film releases. The captivating Village of Baytowne Wharf was inspired by the remarkable architecture found in the French Quarter of New Orleans. It has a long dock that juts into the beautiful bay, delightful amusements, outdoor concerts, and fabulous seasonal firework celebrations.
