What a great hide away! If you are looking for a quiet layed back vacation this is the place to stay, right on the beach, and I mean on the beach. Gulf Sands is no frills so if you are expecting the Hilton, Sheraton, Marriott this is NOT the place for you. It's a great place to "hang your hat".... More

Came from Michigan to specifically celebrate the New Year at the hotel. My travel partner was hospitalized so didn't have as much time on the beach this visit, but still got some great shots of this great 'Old Florida' atmosphere.

The owner will take your money. There is no canclation policy on the website and he will charge you regardless if you stay or not. Never answers his phone and when you do get ahold of him he is very rude. Along with all the other bad reviews I hope this helps people stay away from this place.

The resort needs updating. The landscaping on the grounds are kept nice, but the rooms need new furnishings, the doors do not close properly, some windows do not have screens, vertical blinds kept falling off, exterior needs painting, the laundry room is full of discarded items.

We recently stayed 4 days on our honeymoon. It was perfect! The rooms were just right for the 2 of us. Everyone staying at the resort was friendly! The staff was amazing! We already are planning a family trip with our kids! Thank you Alan! Marie and Rob Myers

The hotel is as it was in old Florida. It is a quiet, friendly place in a relaxed atmosphere. If you're looking for parties and night life, this isn't the hotel, but those things are a quick walk, drive away. I've been here three times in the last two months and haven't been disappointed once. True, if you require luxurious,... More

My husband and I had stayed at this place over 10 years ago and liked it then. It was a bit "worn" then, but was clean. We returned with our 2 children and happened to have gotten the same room. Down side, NOTHING had been changed/updated/maintained in the room. I think it was the same shower curtain as over a... More

My husband and I visited for four days in October 2010. The bed had no blanket, only a comforter and no extra pillows. Our neighbors had three dogs that used the grounds for a toilet. Noone cleaned it up.The property needs to be refurbished. It was clean and quiet but the bed was uncomfortable. The beach was lovely!
