Overall, we had a great stay at Gulf Breeze. We did run into a few maintenance issues, but the folks at Ocean Reef were helpful and responsive. The kitchen was pretty well-stocked but could use some pot holders. The house is very spacious and well-designed for our needs. The kids loved the pool and found it to be a good size. The beach access is a short, convenient walk. Ample parking was available, but don't expect to be able to close the garage door with an SUV inside. Also I can't vouch for all the beds, but my husband and I slept on one of the queen-sized beds. It was not very comfortable and extremely noisy/squeaky, especially while getting into and out of the bed. The common area upstairs has nice blackout window treatments for the early morning sun. The upstairs bedrooms facing east would also benefit from similar shades as the existing blinds were not very effective in blocking the morning sunlight/heat. Another simple fix would be to give the front loading washing machine a good bleach cleaning to remove the built up gunk. Doormats inside the entrances (front door and sliding glass door) would help to keep sand from being tracked in, and the sofa covers are showing some wear and tear. All in all, it's a great house that we would book again.
