We love Top of the Gulf and enjoyed our stay here! Everything was as described in the listing--clean and super cute. Communicating with our Property Manager was very easy, and she was quick to respond. Can't wait to go back!
Great location! Close to everything. Very easy check in. Host gave several opportunities to communicate. Stayed in off season. Very reasonable rate. Beautiful view!
We had a lovely, relaxing, off-season stay with fantastic ocean views. We could see the sunrise in one direction and the sunset in the other elevated away from any noise. The condo was close to everything we needed (food, supplies, and shopping), but the seaside skies made the memories for our special trip. Have a small kitchen stocked with the essentials made it easy to stay in, and we slept better than we had in months. I will definitely recommend.

The room was awesome! Great view of the ocean. Would have been even better with an outdoor patio, but still very nice. The only aggravating thing was you HAD to wear a bracelet everywhere on the property and mine was super big on me. I get it’s for security, but as long as I have it in my purse, that should have sufficed.
It was a very pleasant and peaceful trip! We got to the resort early, although we couldn’t check-in early because it was still cleaned. But, they did allow you to enjoy the amenities of the pool, and access to the beach. We were also allowed to enjoy the beach with paid for chairs/ umbrellas from resort! Once we got to our room, it was very clean, with a beautiful view to wake up to every morning! Everyone there was very nice, and friendly! Enjoyed the atmosphere of family and fun, it was a perfect vacation! Thanks
