Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo is just ok- needs many updates. The furniture is very old and it is not comfortable at all. The chairs you can barely sit in without sliding out of. The icemaker was broken, but the maintenance man came and fixed it quickly, which was very nice. There were many loose outlets and he also replaced those. The drawers in one of the bedrooms was broken. We had issues on the elevator, it was very scary, but that was fixed immediately, which we so appreciated! I have stayed at Gulf Dunes before that in a different condo. That condo was very nice. I would not rent this particular condo again. When I pay that much money for a vacation, I like everything to work, be clean and be able to sit in good furniture and all appliances working . The beach service was awesome. Dan was very accommodating and we appreciated that.! As I said before, I will stay at Gulf Dunes again but not be in this condo. The owners need to update! Kitchen, dishes, toaster, etc. all needs updating. I recommend Gulf Dunes, but not this condo.

The view is beautiful, the place was clean and the beds were comfy. We did do some work on our laptops while there, and the glass table and wood chairs did make us a bit sore (we’re getting older so we bruise more easily 😂), but otherwise it was a relaxing getaway, just what was needed.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We travel to Okaloosa Island every year and stayed in many units. We always use Brooks &Shorey for booking. It is always a great experience. This unit was very basic, but nice enough. It had several maintenance issues and definitely needed a deep, ceiling to floor cleaning, but the beds were comfortable and as always, the view was amazing.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been coming to Destin/Fort Walton area for nearly 20th and we absolutely love the atmosphere, people and whatnot has to offer. We love that FW is quiet and relaxing and if we need excitement, Destin is only a few minutes away and as soon as we need quiet, back to FW we go to relax again. Gulf dunes is a great place to vacation at and Brooks and Shorey made the process easy for booking! The only downfall to our stay was upkeep of the condo itself. Trash stashed behind the couch, toilet paper roll in the guest bathroom was completely gone and looked as if someone just broke it off, the small room with bunks blinds were broken, refrigerator didn’t make any ice, and it just seemed outdated. However, most of our time was spent on the beach so we were able to overlook it, just a little eye sore from what we are used to.
