Pack light and settle in fast; the beach is practically in your backyard, and everything else rolls in on four wheels. The space This two-bedroom townhouse was made for groups who want room to breathe. With four beds and two full bathrooms, up to 7 guests can spread out comfortably without anyone waiting on the bathroom or the couch. Natural light works through the space all day, keeping things bright and easy from morning coffee to late-night board games. A private entrance means you come and go on your own schedule. Sleeping arrangements Two bedrooms sleep the group across four beds, each dressed with fresh linens and built-in storage so suitcases don't take over the room.

Kitchen and dining Everything you need to cook is already here: refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, cooking basics, and a full set of dishes and silverware. Pull together a beach-day breakfast or a proper dinner for the group, then let the dishwasher do the rest. Children's dinnerware is on hand for little ones at the table. Outdoor living The backyard gives you a private outdoor spot to decompress - fire up the BBQ grill for an evening cookout or just sit back and let the Gulf breeze do its thing. When you're ready to roam, the included golf cart makes it easy to cruise the Gulf Highlands community and reach the beach without breaking a sweat. Resort amenities Gulf Highlands delivers more than just a place to sleep. Pool access and a gym are included, giving you somewhere to swim and stay active without leaving the community. Beach access is right there when the pull of the Gulf becomes too strong to resist. Everyday comforts Air conditioning and heating keep things comfortable regardless of the weather outside.

We loved our stay. The property was clean and just as advertised. The pool is right out side the back patio which is convenient. We would stay here again.

Advertised pool outside back door. When we got there we found out it was closed. Shouldn't advertise the pool if it's not open. Golf cart also was dead upon arrival. Shower was lukewarm even when set to full hot. Sectional couch smelled funny. Washer makes loud knocking sound during spin cycle on every load. Did have golf and tennis items for guest use.
There were a lot of pros and cons to this place. Pros: the resort has a lot to offer - it’s close to the beach, close to restaurants, close to grocery, secured property. The condo itself is at the back of the resort so leaving is super convenient as there is a gate very close by. You cannot enter through that gate though. The resort has a cafe/restaurant that is nice. Private beach access with bathrooms. Cons: the living room area rug was severely stained, the living room furniture was stained, the pool that is pictured to be right outside the sliding glass door is out of order (I get that resort upgrades are out of the owner’s hands, but this was very misleading as many of the pools were under construction when we stayed), we were given 3 k-cups for a week stay, the washing machine leaked water onto the floor, the golf cart was dead upon arrival (had to be charged).

The door handle was broken and falls off every time the door is opened, the air doesn’t cool, no response when I messaged. Gas grill doesn’t work properly, gas stove handle was just laid on knob unsecured. Washer sounds like it’s about to fall down steps. Golf cart will not hold charge. There is only one card to enter the premises.
