Like many reviewers, I hesitate to give away the secret, but this place really is a hidden…read moretreasure! I wouldn't call Gulfside a resort as much as a home away from home. We booked our condo here - despite never having been to the area - after reading all the positive reviews online. We were not disappointed in any respect. The property both inside and out is clean and cozy, and relatively well-maintained for a beach cottage where you expect some wear and tear. Everything looked just like the photos. No unpleasant surprises of any sort! From the moment you park your car in the sandy gravel parking lot, you feel a relaxed vibe, much like staying at your own friend's condo. Actually, it's better than that since you don't have to clean house on your last day. The tree-covered, winding walkways and shaded patios next to each unit are so inviting, you immediately want to throw on your bathing suit and relax outside, beer in hand. What a pleasant change from my past experiences at big resorts, where you can never seem to escape lots of people and sounds and you are always aware that you're just a guest among many. Three other couples/families were staying at 810 during our stay. All were very friendly, but for the most part we felt like we had the whole property to ourselves. Many folks spend their time out on the beach all day. Our kids (4 and 5 years old) preferred the pool, and we spent several hours in the pool each morning and afternoon. Some of my favorite aspects of Gulfside: - Floors, bathroom, kitchen were all spotless (and I'm super picky) - Furnishings seemed clean and in good shape - Loved the warm colors and décor, especially the unique wood ceilings - Laundry facilities (washer and dryer) right on the property - Full, functional kitchen, stocked with the basic equipment, just like home - Lovely pool and deck area with plenty of chaise lounges - One minute walk and you're on the beach! We especially enjoyed walking to Kooky Coconuts for ice cream and lunch (just two blocks away). We also hit most of the recommended restaurants in the area (best one was Guppy's). Gulfside has everything you need for a mellow, but fun time on Florida's Gulf Coast. Highly recommend this place!

We had the carriage house which is a small studio and beautiful just for two people for a few days. Since It was Halloween weekend, they left us a little bucket with Halloween candy and two T-shirts which I thought was a really nice touch. I highly recommend Sarah's Seaside. I spoke to Janet when making my reservation, she was wonderful and very helpful. They have lounge chairs on the beach with the great pillows, cabana (no charge) bikes if you want to ride also free, a washer and dryer if you want to wash your clothes, and yup free. Everyone is very accommodating. Staff a wonderful, Janet my contact at the resort cane by and introduced herself, showed us around. Overall a wonderful experience.

I was finally contacted by Amanda, a representative for Plumlee. The items in the condo were not fixed during our stay, but they were able to get the AC working when it went out.

If you are planning a weekend getaway with your significant other or even a family or friend vacation, this is the spot to stay at. There is so many water activities at Tommy's for you to choose from like skim boarding, paddle boarding or even kayaking! We came here for a birthday weekend and had a blast. I would totally come back to enjoy a jam packed weekend of fun in the sun. I love the fact that you walk out and the pool is right there and just a few steps further and boom the beach is right there. It's so convenient and amazing to wake and be able to walk right onto the beach. If you are ever wanting to go to Indian Rocks beach in Northern Florida, Tommy's is the place to stay at while you visit. There is a little town close by where you can bar hop and check out some restaurants as well if you are trying to go out. If you'd like to bbq some food, you can also go to a grocery close by and grab some stuff to grill since Tommy's also has a bbq behind the pool area.

The cottage was clean, well kept, fully stocked with kitchen and bathroom essentials and then some extra. We brought our Shiba Inu and he loved being able to watch out the back glass to see us at the beach! The back deck and views are magnificent. Our beds were clean and comfy. The shower had perfect water pressure for thick haired families like ours. The French bakery in front had the most delicious pastries and quiche offerings. We absolutely loved Tommy's on the Beach and can't wait to return very soon.
