  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.

  • Manager Responded on 11/14/2023

    Thank you for visiting Brooks and Shorey Resorts and for taking your time to leave a review after your stay. It's disheartening to hear that your stay was not entirely comfortable.

This is not the level of service we pride ourselves on delivering or a good representation of Brooks and Shorey and we will work on improving our customer service in order to match our reputation. Thank you for sharing your feedback, we hope to see you once again.

  Laina W from palmyra, IN recommends this vacation rental

  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just broke it off, the small room with bunks blinds were broken, refrigerator didn’t make any ice, and it just seemed outdated.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.

  • Manager Responded on 10/16/2023

    Thank you for offering feedback about your recent experience at our hotel. We're glad you enjoyed the helpful service from the team making the checking process easy for you, and your kind words will be shared.

Your comments are important to us, and we'll use them as we continually work to improve our accommodations and service.

  a guest from Winchester, IN recommends this vacation rental

  We have stayed at Gulf dunes several times and at this particular unit once before. We love this area. It is close enough to Destin and Fort Walton to have plenty to do but a little less busy. The condo is well situated and has fantastic views. There were some minor maintenance issues with the unit. Bathroom towel rails and toilet paper holders were all loose in main bathroom. The patio door in the living room did not lock at all and the front door lock was not always opening with the code. Otherwise, the condo was very clean and well taken care of. We will likely return again. Kitchen was well stocked and we had plenty of towels which was great as we had 6 people in our party. there was plenty of room for us all. A wonderful vacation and we enjoyed our time.

  • Manager Responded on 6/28/2023

    Thank you for sharing the great review of your recent stay at Brooks and Shorey Resorts. I am delighted that you had a pleasant experience once again. We appreciate your feedback and we will address these minor maintenance issues. We look forward to the opportunity of welcoming you on your next visit!

  Great location to the location where we were attending a wedding for our niece. Condo needs some up dating. Had a few lamps that wasn’t working and the bedroom furniture needs updating. Master bed head board was loose and when you moved it hit the wall. Other than a few things needing repairs and updating, enjoyed the stay and would stay there again.

  Everything was perfect about this location, my only complaints are the top
  Bunk bed guard rail was loose to the point I couldn't put my 4 yr old up there for fear of
  It not holding up. Also the cable in the bunk room didn't work. The bed in the master was horribly uncomfortable and hard as a board. Although the place was fantastic, a more comfortable master would be imperative for me to book again.

  • Manager Responded on 6/23/2022

    Thank you for choosing to stay with us at Brooks and Shorey Resorts. We are thrilled to know our location for this unit was ideal for you and that you enjoyed the beautiful views this property has to offers. However, we regret not meeting some of your expectations and are sorry for your disappointment with the master bed, cable and bunk bed and not being able to use. We will address your comments with the appropriate individuals, and we thank you for your patience during this time. We appreciate your valuable suggestions and hope to see you again soon.

  We loved our stay here. The condo was exactly as described, the beach service was awesome, our condo was clean, it was in a great location. Our dislikes were minimal, the pillows were thin and there was not any condiments (olive oil, salt and pepper, etc) which we thought was so strange. Overall we will definitely stay again!

  We have stayed at Gulf Dunes many times and it never disappoints. Location is great- like to be able to walk across the street for dinner. The beach chairs and umbrellas are a plus- one less thing to bring to the beach. The only thing about the unit is the beds- definitely need to be upgraded, not very comfortable, they are on the hard side and not in a good way-

  We have stayed at this location several times and always have a great experience. The room was clean and ready for us on time. There were courtesy items in the kitchen such as dishwasher detergent and laundry soap to get us started. The views as always were stunning. Plenty of towels, a well stocked kitchen and clean and pleasant general areas. The parking was fantastic and in the garage so our vehicle wasn't in the sun all day. Overall a fantastic experience.

  Rebekah H from Benton, AR recommends this vacation rental

  This unit is in the west building on the fourth floor, which was a perfect location for us. We like to be high enough to see far out in the ocean. The extra room with the bunk beds is perfect for our two younger boys and gave everyone privacy. The pool was always clean. We had excellent customer service with Brooks & Shorey.
  
  The unit did have a couple of minor issues. In the master bathroom, the plug to the bath/shower did not work so we had to get the stopper from the other bathroom for baths. Also, the toilet in the master bath banged on the wall every time you got up. The light switches are a little bit confusing around the unit; the bathroom switches are outside of the bathroom, kitchen switches are in the hallway, that kind of thing. But the unit was nice and we would definitely stay again! The decorating was right up our alley. I would definitely recommend.

  • Manager Responded on 5/11/2021

    Thanks for the feedback! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the location and Brooks and Shorey customer service!!

  We have stayed at Gulf Dunes in the past in several of the condos and never been disappointed through Brooks and Shorey. The rooms are always clean and nicely stocked. If we have had any small concerns they have been quickly taken care of. This time someone (new owner with condo above )working during quiet hours. I walked downstairs and mentioned it never heard them again in the morning. Beds are comfy and feel fresh and clean. Views are great and there is a great place to eat right across the street.

  This was our second time staying w/ Gulf Dunes @ Okaloosa Island and it can't be beat! We Love It! The area is always nice and clean. The beach is not overly crowded which is a huge PLUS! We continue to return every year! The condo we stayed in this year was great! The online photos need updated bc there were many things in the condo itself that have been upgraded! It was a nice surprise to come into! Plenty of room for 2 small families or 2 couples traveling together. The resort even called almost 3hrs before check-in time to tell us the condo was ready!!! We Will be returning!

  • Manager Responded on 7/18/2017

    Thank you for your amazing review! We are glad your stay with us was nothing short of memorable! Unfortunately as we are at our peak season it is hard to schedule new pictures, but we surely will have new photos reflecting all the updates. We are glad you were taken aback by the upgrades in the unit and enjoyed them . We look forward to your next visit !

    Cindy is long long gone and the Florida Sunshine has made its reappearance!~ We're back to a dryer environment down here and we so hope cindy's rain didn't completely ruin your opinion of Okaloosa Island, it's so beautiful here when the weather is cooperating. At least you were able to enjoy some time away from your everyday world and take a break. Gulf Dunes is the best place to vacation with the ideal location within walking distance of the restaurants and shops at the beginning of the Island. We sincerely appreciate your patience with the weather and regardless you still show mostly 5 star ratings on the feedback of your vacation here. Unit 416 is great plus these two bedrooms have ample space and places to sleep for everyone. Please give us another chance next vacation break you get and fingers crossed for the weather to cooperate that time!!

  Paula P from Highland Park, IL recommends this vacation rental

  This is the 2nd year in a row here and it didn't disappoint! The location is perfect. I rented this unit for my sister and her family and they loved it. Only complaint I have is that the unit wasn't ready to move in until almost 6:00. There should be a window of time given to people as people arrive with the intention of moving in at 4:00. But other than that-they loved it. this was their first time here and we're already thinking of coming next year. The indoor parking spot is definitely a plus!

  • Manager Responded on 7/22/2016

    We are absolutely delighted to hear that your sister and her family got to indulge in some beach time at the Gulf Dunes 416. We are sorry for the late start checking in however our policy does state that check-in time is after 4:00 p.m.; checkout time is 10:00 a.m. Due to our high standards for cleanliness, not all units will be ready for check-in promptly at 4:00 p.m. We ask for your patience and suggest that you have alternate plans available between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. in case the unit is not yet ready. We do our best to get everyone in as quickly as possible and do allow everyone to partake in the property amenities while they are waiting. We hope we get to see their smiling faces again next year for more summer fun on the Emerald Coast!

  We had a great time on our vacation. The place was great. It was just as it was described. We enjoyed our stay. The only thing I noticed was that the website said if any animals were on the premises, you would be asked to leave without a refund. I hurriedly requested a dog sitter in Ft. Walton, but then noticed two different dogs in the same building that we were in. This would not keep me from returning, but I was confused.

  • Manager Responded on 3/30/2016

    Thank you for responding to our questionnaire, we are so glad that you enjoyed your stay, we apologize for the confusion regarding the pet policy, there is a no pet policy for all rental units, however we do have owners that this is there home year round and they are not on any rental program and they are allowed to have pets, as this is their permanent home, I hope this clears up the confusion. We do hope to see you again soon.

  We had amazing time in Fort Walton. Loved the view from our condo. Saw dolphins right off the balcony of the condo. The condo was very nice and was exactly like it is pictured. The property was very clean and staff were great to work with. The condo had all of the amenities that we needed. We stayed from a Sat to Sat. Make sure you get into Destin to the harbor board walk. We didn't get there until Thursday night and there is a lot to see and do. We also drove to Pensacola to see the Blue Angels practice on Weds. Its only an 1 1/2 drive. Loved having the beach service everyday. The condo could use a little fresh paint. Can wait to go back next year we just loved the area.

  Justin H from Puryear, TN recommends this vacation rental

  This was our second unit to stay in while we were here on fall break. We were only supposed to be here for 4 days but our kids begged me and my wife to stay a couple more days, The other unit we were in happened to be booked the rest of the month and just luckily this was available(Woohoo!!). Even though this unit wasn't as big as the other one it was still nice and well furnished, the only complaint we have for this unit was the mildew that was on the balcony tile possibly caused by rain water not being able to run off due to the track for the privacy screen that was mounted to the tile, but other than that everything else was great we were even allowed to check in early. So a big thanks to everyone at the front office you all made our first trip to the beach a very pleasant one!

The maintenance staff is efficient and professional. The location overlooking the beach and Gulf is perfect. We like the unit very much (thus our repeated stays). The only reservations we have are that the living room upholstery and master bedspread are showing their age and the tile floors have been in need of a deep cleaning for years. All in all, though, we are still happy to be coming back next year.

  I have booked with Brooks & Shorey a few times recently & have always been very satisfied. This time was no different-the VERY nice lady at the front desk was AWESOME, I just wish I could remember her name. I've never stayed at the Gulf Dunes, but I was impressed. The rental unit was very nicely decorated and the furniture was very comfortable. The laundry/utility room was a nice bonus along with the reserved covered garage parking space(it came in very nice when we were packing the
  suv to leave and it was raining). I will definately rent from Brooks & Shorey again!

  The accommodations were just right for my family of 4. Though it rained most every day, there was sufficient room in the condo with tv's, DVD Players etc to keep kids satisfied. On day 2 of vacation my 3 year old had an incident requiring ER visit after hours. Property management returned my call in minutes to provide directions to local hospital. They ROCK

  My family (6 of us) had a wonderful experience in the Gulf Dunes condo we rented through B&S. The view was spectacular, the weather could not have been better, and the condo was all we had hoped it would be. The B&S staff was extremely friendly, cooperative and very responsive to our needs. We'll go back again in a heartbeat!

  We had 2 condos rented for the family. Both were great. The property was very well maintained and we always saw staff cleaning. We also loved the fact that our building was green. We as a family always recycle. Thanks for that feature in our building. The staff at the front desk was very friendly and helpful.

  The only negative is this condo had a few problems. The coffee pot did not work, had to buy one. The microwave only worked on 4 buttons, altered cooking things. The small skillets need to be replaced. Other than that it was a comfortable place to stay with a great view and good location.

  I appreciate the way the Gulf Dunes is set up so that each unit has an ocean view, and each unit is only a few steps away from an elevator that puts you only a few more steps from the boardwalk and the beach.

  We really enjoyed our stay at Gulf Dunes. The condo was very nice, beaches beautiful, and location was excellent and not crowded. We did the Little Nemo kids fishing tour and were told we would not go into rough waters, this was inaccurate, we did go into rough waters and our party of 10 had 5 get sea sickness.
