How the building is trading
Fewer than three units closed here in the trailing 12 months - too thin a sample to publish reliable statistics. Ask us for a hand-built sales review instead.
At Gulf Place Cabanas, size separates almost nothing. The state roll lists every residence between 581 and 618 square feet of living area, eight at the larger figure and the other 35 within five square feet of one another. What does separate one closing from the next is the level suggested by the unit's hundreds series, its position within that series and how recently the interior was redone, none of which a median shows. All 43 residences share a 1999 recorded construction year, so age is not a variable either. With only 43 homes in total, a window holding a handful of closings can swing on one sale, so compare units in the same series first and read each closing's condition before treating a median as the building's level. The two common-ground parcels are not homes and add nothing to the count of 43.

The monthly charts cover the 24 complete calendar months from October 2024 through September 2026, and a month with no closings is a zero bar rather than a gap.
Based on information from ECAR for the period October 2, 2021 through October 1, 2026.

The rental analysis is for signed-in readers
We publish each home's rental analysis on the signed-in side of the site, not on the open page. With a free account you will find, on the individual listings here that qualify, how rentals similar to that home perform: the average daily rate, occupancy, typical stay and booking window. The segment's daily rate, occupancy and tracked-rental count stay public on this page.

These are benchmarks for a segment of comparable rentals, not a finding about Gulf Place Cabanas. What a unit here may actually do is set by documents, and there are three of them. The recorded declaration sets any minimum lease term. The association's current rules can add stay-length minimums, rental caps, or owner-occupancy requirements the local code does not impose, and a board can change them after a purchase. The city or county that governs this address runs its own short-term-rental registration requirements over both. Request all three in their current form from the association and the local government during diligence, before purchasing with rental income in mind.
Rental rules on the MLS today: 2 of 2 active listings disclose"Short Term Rental - Allowed". Always verify the association's current policy.

Where do these numbers come from?
Sale and inventory statistics are computed from ECAR MLS data by Dream Destin Realty and refreshed on a 30-day cycle. Based on information from ECAR for the period October 2, 2021 through October 1, 2026. Rental benchmarks are market-segment aggregates from Key Data - never figures for a specific unit. Neighborhood figures are LiveBy area estimates built on the U.S. Census American Community Survey.
Why is there no list of individual sold units?
1 unit closed at Gulf Place Cabanas in the trailing 12 months. MLS rules do not allow individual sold listings to be displayed publicly, so this page shows building-level statistics only - ask us for the unit-by-unitsold report and we'll walk you through it.
How are thin samples handled?
Any figure computed from fewer than three sales is withheld rather than published - a one-sale "median" is just that sale's price. Counts always show; prices earn their way onto the page.
