  Each time we rent this condo the owner has made improvements! Fun to see the new updates! The condo is so pretty, comfortable and clean. We want to thank Brooks and Shorey who makes sure the condo is in tip top condition! Always clean too. The view from the balcony is glorious! We spend most of our day there. The balcony furniture is perfect. The building is within walking distance of several local & delicious restaurants. Thank you for a lovely stay. Can't wait to return.

  a guest from Smyrna, TN recommends this vacation rental

  Gulf Dunes 303 is awesome! This was our second time to stay in this condo. Last year was wonderful, this year even more so due to the updates that have been made. An updated, beautiful kitchen, new larger flat screen TV in living room plus all flat screen TV's mounted on walls in bedrooms, and the living room furniture is new and pretty. The view is incredible, and again the furniture on the balcony is perfect. We spend a lot of time on the balcony and saw both dolphin and sting ray, plus
  sea birds! Brooks and Shorey again were incredible from helping us find the perfect condo, to providing a clean condo with everything in working order. Only one small problem with a door handle that was fixed the very day we mentioned it. Thank you for being the perfect hosts.

  • Manager Responded on 2/27/2023

    Thank you for the generous review. We are pleased to know how much you loved your stay and the new updates in this condo, along with a beautiful view. We would like to apologize for the door handle but glad our maintenance team was able to fix it. We are delighted to hear that everything from the updates, the service, and the feelings you felt on property was truly unforgettable. We hope to welcome you back again soon to this gorgeous unit condo in Gulf Dunes and cannot wait to create more memories!

  • Manager Responded on 9/28/2022

    We are grateful for the kind words! Seeing dolphins every morning sounds like a dream come true. The white sand and uncrowded beach is one of the best things about off season and Gulf Dunes in general.

  This condo is very nice. The view is incredible. We spent a lot of time out on the balcony. The balcony furniture is very nice and set up perfectly. The condo was comfortable with plenty of room. Well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, (even the sofa fold out wasn't bad.) Everything was in excellent condition. The condo was very clean. All we needed were extra blankets and Brooks and Shorey were there within an hour of our request. Our first time to stay at Gulf Dunes and the building (s) are so nice, also close enough to walk to a few restaurants. I would highly recommend this condo!

  We enjoyed our first stay at Fort Walton Beach. The condo was ready for our check-in and spacious enough for our needs and comfortable overall. Perfect location and loved having the beach chairs included and the no-key entry. Also appreciated the wifi and the programmed Alexa. A bit of updating (smart TV being the most needed) would make this condo perfect. Missing a few useful items in the kitchen, (no dish towels, no ice cream scoop) and needs a new large frying pan, but otherwise pretty well supplied.

  Great set up and view! Loved the bunk room for our 2 year old. The two beds in the guest bedroom was also a wonderful addition. Furniture and beds were all nice and comfortable. Two sinks in the master bath was also an added bonus. The only complaint that I have for this condo is the quality/lack of decent cutlery and kitchen supplies. The stove was a little lack-luster but we only used it once. Definitely recommend this condo!!

  We loved the location! Not super excited about walking throught the parking garage to get to the pool and the beach, but it worked. Loved the 3rd bunk room! Not large enough to call it a BR but big enough for 2 teens boys to sleep at night. I was not impressed with the clenliness of the condo- the carpet was FILTY!!!!! So Gross! Other than that, we liked the condo and the location!

  • Manager Responded on 4/18/2019

  We have stayed in Brooks and Shorey units at Gulf Dunes for about 5 years and we have been very satisfied with the units and the overall property every time. Unit 303 was very nice though some of the furnishings were a little dated. Having said that, everything was clean and serviceable so the age of the furnishings had no impact on the quality of our experience. Brooks and Shorey have always been very professional in our dealings with them and their properties are exactly as advertised. We will definitely be returning in years to come.

Room was clean and comfortable near elevator. Parking was easy and room had code on the door so everyone could come and go. Will be back!!

  • Manager Responded on 7/25/2017

    These Gulf Dunes two bedroom condos with the extra bunk room are absolutely the right amount of space for all size groups and families plus you're getting the more budget friendly two bedroom rental rate but you get to keep all your travelers. Gulf Dunes is right at the start of Okaloosa Island putting it in the absolute perfect location. Take a quick but beautiful stroll down the white beach to the fishing pier like you've said with all the shops and restaurants plus the fishing aspect-lots of fun to be had here! Destin is a close trip down the road and there's so much to do in Destin you'll certainly never get bored. Thank you so much for booking through Brooks and Shorey, we appreciate your business and we really hope you come visit again as soon as your schedule allows!

  We absolutely enjoyed our week long stay at this condo. It was clean, comfortable, and a perfect fit for us (2 adults and 2 children), my brother, and my parents! It was spacious enough with a kitchen that served all our needs. However, the best part of the entire part was the location. The beach was our backyard and it was the easiest and shortest walk to get there. Another perk to the location is that it isn't ridiculously busy and just a short drive to Destin (which was super busy). We were able to utilize the awesome perk packages that came with our stay and loved the beach side service. I can't say this enough but we truly loved our time there and can't wait to vacation there again. I left feeling relaxed (which is saying a lot since I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old)!!!

  a guest from Garden Ridge, TX recommends this vacation rental

  We have stayed at the Gulf Dunes several times and have not been disappointed. The location and proximity to restaurants, beaches and shopping is perfect for our needs. The beach access is just right. Some of the other resorts offer more amenities and pools but that comes with a price of overcrowding and overpricing. Our unit was comfortable, clean and well furnished with all the necessities. The beds were comfortable and had quality linens. I had cheap bedcovers that slip and slid off...these were not like that. There were plenty of towels and kitchenware that made our stay comfortable. I would definitely rent this unit again.

  a guest from Lexington, TN recommends this vacation rental

  We had a great time staying here. Everything was clean and tidy when we arrived. Plenty of room for a family of 6. Couldn't get much closer to the beach! Loved the free beach chairs. The kids loved the pool, the only down side was the pool was a little small but they still loved it and it was not too deep so they could touch. We enjoyed the free movie rentals and the free pass that we used for the dolphin cruise which was very fun. Overall we had a great time here at Gulf Dunes.

  • Manager Responded on 5/28/2016

    That sounds like the perfect get away, so glad that you were so happy with our complimentary package and that you felt right at home in this beautiful condo!

  We checked in after hours and misunderstood the directions on how to get our code for the room. I called the emergency line, left message and she called me back within 3 minutes....very impressed. We got the code and walked into the condo. It was beautiful. Looked exactly like it was described. Lots of towels and everything we needed for our vacation. The view from the room as amazing. Checked in the next morning and Marianne was super informative and accommodating. I talked to her about booking again and she gave me her direct line. I will definitely be staying here again. Thank you for a memorable trip.

  Gulf Dunes is great location, nice view from living room and master bedroom.
  Room 303 need some repair, door knob on guest bathroom still broken, also right arm chair on dining table. Dryer is kind of old and is not drying properly, take long time waste electricity, but it works after Management people fixed it (eventhough still take long time to dry.),ceiling fan and carpet in living room need to be cleaned.
  Patio floor is sandy: understandable because it's right on beach
  
  Condo's furniture looks nice, it seems the condo was super nice when it's new.
  
  Management personnel & customer service have excellent services, quick response and take care their business.
  
  Over all, is not a bad condo, specially when we are looking for 3 nights or less than a week stay in summertime.

  Stephanie H from JACKSON, GA does not recommend this vacation rental.

  I have stayed in a lot of properties in this same price range and never have I seen one that needs this much work.
  The carpet was GROSS, the stove was covered in grease, you could still smell where someone had cooked bacon, the bathroom door lock was broken, sand or salt was all over the back of the sofa. The Carpet is the main thing, but the entire condo could use an overhaul the counters are worn. I wiped the tile with a damp paper towel it came up black with no soap, I found a coffee cup in the cabinet with lipstick and coffee all over it, there was a spill on the wall that simply needed wiping. Someone is not cleaning the place and if I am not mistaken we paid a separate fee for cleaning.

  This is our fourth stay, we were very dissapointed in the condition of the unit...the carpets need to be replaced and the beds are very uncomfortable...the phone in the unit did not work...we contacted the co. because tropical storm Lee hit and the beaches
  closed...we could not even sit on the balcony...we tried to contact the ins co because we left one day early...we were told we would have to file a claim...will not buy travel ins again due to the difficulty of obtaining information...waste of money. Don't
  know if we will stay again...

  Holly M from Dunwoody, GA does not recommend this vacation rental.

  The condo was just OK. The photos definitely made it look a little better than it was. The carpet and tile were just gross. The kitchen was well stocked, but gross - awful rust in the sink, the pantry walls were so yucky that we didn't keep food in there. I really think the whole condo simply needs new flooring and a coat of paint.
  
  The view and the location can't be beat. Loved having a balcony off of the master. Tons of room.
  
  My last complaint is this: we felt like we were on spring break. There was a huge group a couple of floors up that played LOUD music on their balcony and played the same loud music all day on the beach. There was another group of men who played country music so loudly by the pool that we had to shut our balcony doors. There was a group directly above us who weren't particularly rowdy but it was a large group and they spent every evening on their porch until about midnight - their voices and the sound of furniture being moved around was SO loud in our master bedroom. We contemplated going to a hotel or even going home early. We had so looked forward to listening to the waves and relaxing but the noises all around made that impossible. When we return, we will stay somewhere else. Oh, also? The pool sucks. Small and not attractive. We would love a larger pool area with palm trees, etc.
  
  This condo was not for us!

  The location right on the beach was PERFECT. You can look out your balcony and see & hear the Gulf. It was sooo peaceful. Even though the view was fantastic, the room was a little dirty when we checked in. I had to have the cleaners come in & wipe off the "inch" of dust on the fan blades above the bed. Also the carpet and chair cushions were stained and the furniture & color scheme was dated. BUT, THE VIEW. Overall, the front desk was extremely helpful and the experience was EXCELLENT. Thanks Gulf Dunes & Brooks & Shorey Resorts!!

  We were all very happy and comfortable in this condo. The kitchen was large and well stocked-even a big pot for boiling fresh shrimp! All six of us felt that we had plenty of room and plenty to do. Everything was clean and in good shape-inside and out. The use of boogie boards, floats, and sand toys was a plus. We liked the free DVD rentals. Since the bunk room had its own door and TV, it was really like a 3 bedroom condo. The second bedroom could use a little redoing, but overall, we were very happy with the look and usability of the whole place. The carpet and flooring were perfect for a beach place.I would definitely stay here again. This was one of the easiest, most carefree vacations we have ever taken. All of us could do what we liked best and just relax.

  The property had a great view and goog space, but the carpet was dirty,as was a lot of the other things in the condo, the master bath could really use some work, the sinks were sluggish, the washer and dryer were nasty looking and it had a musty or dirty smell. I was disappointed because online it appears so much cleaner. Everything else seemed fine except for the lack of cleanliness and upkeep. Location was good.
