Gulf Gaze is a corner unit with a sweeping Gulf view, Pool & Hot Tub, gorgeous interior, and central walkable location in Mexico Beach. Well-appointed and comfortable, this unit is located in one of the top properties in town. It is on the 3rd floor of The Club at Mexico Beach and is accessible by elevator or stairs.
You can see the waves from the whole Gulf side of the property—balcony, living room, and kitchen. Nothing better in the AM than coming down the hallway and seeing the sun glistening off the water! Make a cup of coffee and ease onto the balcony and take it all in.
Beach Access: Extremely easy and Fast! Exit the elevator and make your way across the street onto the newly constructed walkover and the gorgeous white sand lies ahead. The walkover makes it extremely easy to haul your beach belongings back to the The Club for a quick rinse in the provided outdoor shower and rinse area.
Balcony Experience: Truly unmatched. It's private, it's covered, and it directly faces the Gulf, making it everyone's favorite spot. Relax in comfort with those glittering waters and fresh ocean breezes! Accessible from the living room.
Pool & Hot Tub: The Club at Mexico Beach has an amazing large pool with plenty of space to layout in the Florida sun. The hot tub provides a relaxing end to a day at the beach. The pool area is a few steps down the stairs or a quick elevator ride down to the pool level.
Gulf Gaze provides a relaxing experience throughout! Comfortable furniture and beds, plenty of closet space, 55” smart TV, plenty of bath towels, FAST internet, fully-equipped kitchen, ceiling fans, window blinds, and laundry room.
