“Tropical Daydream” is located in the up-scale, yet casual resort of Gulf Place located off of scenic Highway 30-A in beautiful, peaceful Santa Rosa Beach, FL.  Gulf Place is nestled between Destin/Sandestin and Seaside, FL, free from high rise hotels, crowds, congestion, and traffic.  Located directly across the street from the beach, our 2nd floor condo has a large balcony with a view that looks over the Lake at Gulf Place, with a view of the Ocean from the living and dining areas.  

3-5 minute stroll from our condo to the beach using the Gulf Place private boardwalk.  You will also find a parking area just across the street if you have a lot of beach gear.  There are also very clean restrooms, showers, and a picnic area for your convenience.

Mellow out on the large covered balcony and listen to the flow of the lake fountain located directly below, and listen to the ocean waves crashing in the distance—so RELAXING…

This spacious, tastefully decorated unit, conveniently located on the 2nd floor, is equipped with 2 King bedrooms, 2 full baths, 2 built-in bunk beds in the hallway, and a queen sleeper sofa in the living room (sleeps 6 adults with 2 children maximum) and features upbeat and tasteful decor with a tropical motif.  There is a fully equipped kitchen with large pantry, and a new dishwasher and stainless steel oven with smooth cooktop.  Ceramic tile highlights the kitchen, hallway, and both bathrooms. The dining room, living room and bedrooms are carpeted. You will find 3 flat screen televisions (37' in the living room) with cable for your viewing pleasure and a DVD player w/remote located in the living room and bedrooms. We also provide a washer and dryer for your convenience and FREE High Speed Internet. 

The complex features an elevator and luggage carts which makes for an easier move-in, charcoal grills, and 3 pools (heated) with a sundeck and Jacuzzi (3), tennis courts and shuffleboard.  Gulf Place boasts several restuarants, clothing boutiques, artist colony, bike rentals and nature trails. Or, you can just RELAX, and take a break from it all! 

There is also a bank and on-site pharmacy and spa.  The Santa Rosa Golf Club is located nearby for the golf enthusiast.  If shopping is your game, head West toward Sandestin to the Silver Sands Outlet Mall (one of the country's largest), or East for a short drive along 30A to Grayton Beach, Watercolor, and world famous Seaside for boutique shopping and eateries galore.

Guests will enjoy the free seasonal concerts on the grassy amphitheater, movies, events and festivals are seasonal.  Gulf Place is ideal for families, couples and singles-alike and the perfect location for a wedding or family reunion.

A county beach park is nearby. Paved bicycle paths pass in front of the complex, which provides miles of easy pedaling along CR-30A to many restaurants, shops and other destinations on the beaches of South Walton County.

Gulf Place is perfectly situated to avail yourself all of the fun-filled activities the beautiful Beaches of South Walton have to offer including countless opportunities for aquatic adventure. Water-based activities include saltwater and freshwater fishing at 15 lakes, offshore fishing charters, boating, sailing, swimming and snorkeling. Nature-lovers can enjoy canoeing and kayaking tours of the area's coastal dune lakes, dolphin cruise, or you may prefer a dinner cruise aboard the SunQuest Cruises yacht.

After a fun-filled day at the beach you may wish to kick back and enjoy eating in.  You will find grocery stores and markets nearby (within 5 miles), as well as Shrimpers Seafood Market where you will find a wonderful selection of fresh seafood and various other selections.  You must try the various dips such as crab and spicy tuna dip-YUM!! 

Gulf Place now has an outdoor fresh fruit and vegetable market on the weekends.  There are many tasty seafood restaurants in near vicinity to Gulf Place.  On the property itself you will find the “Smiling Fish Café” which is wonderful for lunch, and just down the road a mile or so, “Elmo’s” and “Stinky’s Fish Camp”—some of our casual favorites where the locals hang out!  If you are looking for a nice romantic venue with excellent food and ambiance we highly recommend “louisiana lagniappe” and “Marina Café” located in Destin within 7-10 miles from the property.  Just a few miles down the road visit Cafe Tango, an intimate, romantic dining experience for two!  And there are many more restuarants to choose from!
