Top beach near Gulf District Hotel Reviews

Gulf Front Seaside Iconic Honeymoon Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"Unreal! From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, we were in heaven! A PERFECT location with incredible views, convenient dining and GREAT sleep! We are suckers for a good mattress and we had eight blissful nights of sleep! Breakfast daily on the deck with ocean views and wine with dinner at Bud and Alley's (a five minute walk with an incredible menu). We had just the right amount of fridge space with everything you need to feel right at home. We cooked breakfast on a gas stove, had plenty of coffee options and a freezer that made plenty of ice for our daily Yeti needs at the beach. The balcony view was something we couldn't get enough of. Do yourself a favor and splurge on that ocean view. We are SO SAD to be gone BUT we are already planning another trip next year. Dean is a wonderful host!"

"Incredible beach access across the street and a quick 8-10 min walk to town! Hosts were very accesible and accommodating. Amazing space in house and on porches."

5 BR, 5 BA in Seaside, quick walk to the private beach access or main pool

10/10 Excellent

"This house is in the PERFECT Location. We went with a family of 8, and the house is extremely spacious and well stocked! Christie was super helpful and even lined us up with a photographer for photos on the beach. We will definitely be back! The house in located one block behind the Seaside circle. We walked everywhere."

Seaside Proper Condo walk to the beach, shopping & restaurants

10/10 Excellent

"This unit is absolutely perfect for our family of 5. We had lots of space, perfect location, and the management company communicated effectively. There are a few things missing from such a grand property like a full length mirror, bathing suit/towel rack, extra blankets and more shampoo/conditioner. I had emailed about shampoo/conditioner and they stated that it is included- they were small sample bottles. Didn’t cut it for us. Other than that it’s a great spot, super clean, easily walkable and a beautiful view."

WaterColor Inn & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We were on 38 for about a week and had rented a home however I had heard that this property had great reviews and my six-year-old daughter really needed a pool to play in so we decided to try it for two days. And let me tell you I was blown away. This is one of the best resorts I have stayed at in my whole life because of the amenities you get access to the beach club, which is completely separate than the pool on the hotel property, the beach club is a few steps around the corner from the hotel and is multilevel right on the beach. It is fabulous for adults and kids very family oriented. It even has a small gift shop next to the pool to buy items like pool noodles or Floaties or Popsicles. You can take the bridge next to the pool and walk over to the beach.. one of the pools is adult only. I also was able to enjoy some live music. I believe you might want to check out their event calendar where they will list what activities they have that day. The community is so nice. We had rented some E bikes and strolled through the nature trails on the property and went to camp watercolor the next day, which is next to the property and also accessible with your hotel stay. I actually preferred the beach club better. However the camp watercolor is really cool for kids because it has a bunch of slides and different pools plus the lazy river. It is very pricey and I believe they will require you to have a two nights deposit if you book directly through them so booking thru Expedia better."

"My parents absolutely LOVED this stay that I surprised them with for their anniversary! They did not have to drive anywhere! They felt like they had privacy; yet, it was near everything at the same time. I really appreciated the complimentary welcome bag for them all the perks that came with the stay! The communication was great as well.10/10!!"
