The resort and the property were beautiful. There are a ton of amenities to enjoy even during cold weather. We played pickleball, tennis and enjoyed one of the heated pools. The unit is also close to the beach as well. we also like that the resort was dog friendly. We would gladly return.

Overall the condo was excellent. The only drawback for me was the height of the bed in the downstairs bedroom. As I am quite short and my mobility is poor my husband had to help me into and out of the bed.

We had the absolute best time at the Gulf Highlands. We loved the location of this community and condo. We were close to everything. We brought our own, but the condo had chairs, towels, and a wagon to use. The kitchen was well stocked and the property manager was very helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

AMAZING PROPERTY
Everything was Amazing. From booking - checking in - cleanliness and location. We were just a few steps from the Beach. Walmart was just a couple minutes up the road. With all the amenities at the property ( miniture golf - tennis - swimming pools) - we were able to keep our small grandchildren busy. Gated community - everyone was very friendly. Definitly will be booking again for the next beach Trip.
