Rented Gulf Breeze for a week with 5 girlfriends from high school. The property was the perfect set up for us. We loved that it was closer to the beach than the pictures seemed to show, easy to go and get more food, drinks or use the washroom! The beds (all of them) were very comfortable and washrooms great. Nice having a toilet/sink on main living floor also within the laundry room. Water dispenser/ice maker in the fridge which was a nice surprise...so don't pre-buy a bag of ice from Publix like we did! There was an automatic drip coffee maker (not a keurig as advertised) so we of course pre purchased the wrong coffee, but a keurig was delivered for future renters. There is plenty of seating at the large dining room table (chairs were so comfie) and kitchen counter along with living room, back deck, pool side. The outdoor dining set was not on back upper deck as pictured but down by pool side so that is something to consider if you want it off the kitchen or not? Would have loved a gas bbq instead of charcoal so we did not end up using the BBQ but many delicious places to eat so you will not starve! Sadly we had issues with the heating of the pool but were refunded the extra money paid for that. Edward was amazing to communicate with regarding any issues and he tried to rectify any situation in a timely manner. Things happen eh ? but when your complaints/issues are heard and responded to that is a bonus! I am sure he will not miss hearing from me....but I was communicating on behalf of 5 women so hope he understood that LOL As far as things you need for the beach, chairs and umbrellas ? there are no guarantees they will be there but we were lucky to have enough left behind for our visit...even a cooler. The only thing needed was a beach cart if you are a family with young ones. Again the place is so close to the beach you could make many trips back and forth. Would be great to be able to enter the backyard by the house but we knew in advance that we had to go down the stairs and out the front door and through the gate but it was not a deal breaker....just be careful you don't slip with your wet feet !! The have installed small non slip mats on stairs but of course I managed to hit the tile with wet feet and down I went. The sunsets are amazing ! The white sand is beautiful ! The property is nicely decorated with coastal accents you would want and it has comfort awaiting you in every room. Enjoy !
