A great time
We had a great time at our stay in Gulf Highlands. It was our 1st time at this place and it had a lot to offer. Great communication. I recommended staying here with a unit that provides a golf cart, like ours did.

Amazing vacation rental!
Our family had the best time at this rental. It was extremely clean. The pool was steps from the condo and the golf cart was very convenient. We could not have asked for a better location. We were able to walk to the beach, restaurants, donut shop, and ice cream parlor with ease. The property manager was friendly and quick to respond to messages. I would highly recommend this rental for families.

Our stay was perfect. Property was very clean and everything we needed for our week at the beach. Any questions we had were answered immediately. Highly recommend this property and plan to be back in the future. Having a pool right in our backyard is super convenient with kids and it’s less crowded then most of the other pools on the property.

Just what we needed
Our stay had everything needed. The kitchen was well stocked, the linens were great and the golf cart was the icing on the cake. The pool was 30 steps out the back door , a quiet back yard which we enjoyed as well as our dog. The property is close to the exit gate which is handy. The hosts were were great communicators.

3.5 stars - some nice amenities, some updates needed
We have stayed in Gulf Highlands before. This particular condo is all the way to one side of the resort, which would be inconvenient for beach and amenity access except for the golf cart that is rented with the unit. So that takes care of that. We also liked that we could bring our dog without an exhorbitant fee. The condo seemed clean enough but there are a few things we'd recommend the owners look into for improvements. First, the shower in the master had a wall separating, and the shower head is pointed in that direction so we worried about water. A small shelf, perhaps above the towel bar, would help with the lack of counter space. There was not a bath rug or shower mat in one of the bathrooms so we had to use a towel as a makeshift option to reduce the chance of slipping on wet floors. An area rug in the living room would be nice also as the tile floor is not overly comfortable or warm. Finally, the bed in the master is creaky, the mattress seems pretty old/worn out and the mattress pad is noisy. Anytime one of us moved we woke the other up, which made for disrupted sleep. Unfortunately the shuffleboards close to the condo were in poorer condition and the pool there not heated or cleaned the whole time we were there (a maintenance member said they'd look into it), but that is not the owner's fault. Luckily with the golf cart we were able to easily use the other options onsite. On the plus side the kitchen had what we needed and the starter soap/paper items helpful.

Great lil getaway
My husband and I had a nice vacation in PCB and this proved to be a great place for us to stay for the things that we did. It is located near all the fun things to do, great places to eat and of course the beach. The golf cart is perfect to load up your beach gear and park it just across from the beach. Such an easy walk from there to the beach. The condo is nice and has everything you might need during your stay. The pool in the back yard is literally just steps away and very clean and refreshing. We had a couple of small issues with the gate code but the owners were quick to respond and very kind. Our GPS took us to the back gate entrance which is where the condo is located in the large complex, however we were not able to use the code at that entrance and was directed to the main gate. Once we finally got to the property, we enjoyed every minute and would definitely go back.
