6700 Gulf Dr

Gulf Place is a low-rise, beachfront condominium complex built in 1976 and set on Anna Maria Island’s Holmes Beach. The property consists of two-story buildings arranged around landscaped courtyards and a central pool deck facing directly onto the Gulf of Mexico. Units are predominantly three-bedroom floorplans with open living/dining areas, eat-in kitchens or kitchen/family combos, primary suites on the main floor in some layouts, and screened lanais or covered balconies oriented toward the water. Interior details commonly include crown molding, tray ceilings, solid wood cabinetry, stone or solid surface counters, walk-in closets, built-in features, and ceiling fans. Exterior amenities emphasize outdoor living: a heated Gulf-front pool and sun deck, tennis courts, outdoor showers and grills, irrigation and gardened common areas, storage, assigned parking, and hurricane shutters for storm protection. The community permits short-term (one-week minimum) rentals and allows pets, with on-site professional management noted in listings. Location is highly walkable within the island’s dining, retail, and leisure nodes; a free island trolley stop is typically nearby, and the complex provides direct beach access to sugar-white sand and panoramic Gulf views.
