  Daria B from Mcdonald, TN recommends this vacation rental

  We have booked through Brookes and Shorey in the past and have never had any major issues. This property was well maintained and in a great location. The only complaint I have was it was not the most spotless unit we have stayed in. I believe they were running behind that day on cleaning as we were not able to check in right at 4 . The floors were wet when we arrived, but they were very dirty. All of our feet were black and my sons legs and arms were black form playing with his toys on the floor so I believe they just did a spot job with water. We wore shoes inside all week and everything was fine other than that.

  • Manager Responded on 10/10/2022

    Thank you for your feedback and for being a loyal guest of Brooks and Shorey Resorts. I am terribly sorry to read of the disappointing experience with the floor. This is inexcusable and please know the incident will be seriously addressed and corrective measures taken. Again, our sincerest apologies for the incident and hope you will give us another opportunity.

  Allison P from Pacific, MO recommends this vacation rental

  As always, the process with B&S was smooth and super easy from booking to check-out. The condo was as pictured, beds were comfortable, decor tasteful, and kitchen was better equipped than most we have stayed at so far. Plenty of room plus some for our family of 3. Appreciated the over-sized showers. Very close to the elevators and very short walk to the pool and beach access. Our only complaint would be the cleanliness - which is out of character for B&S - it seems the floors were completely forgotten: sand (and lots of it!) everywhere and sticky spots throughout the condo floor, along with the master bath countertop. The condo otherwise was clean and well-maintained. The property had employees cleaning the pool, walkways, trash, etc daily. Overall, we would return!

  • Manager Responded on 10/3/2022

    Thank you for all the feedback and for the kind words about our process with Brooks and Shorey Resorts was smooth and super easy from the booking to checked-out. I agreed with everything you said about this condo, it is nicely decorated with comfortable beds, and well equipped kitchen. We are sorry to hear that you were not 100% satisfied. I have shared your comments with the Housekeeping team to improve the service. We look forward to your next visit!

  This is a nice 2 bedroom + bunk room unit with direct beach view. 5th floor is a perfect height for enjoying the view. Unit directly above pool which has advantages and potential disadvantages (more noise). Great parking spot! Dining area is a little crowded but good for up to 6. Property was well maintained and unit was in good shape. Beach was not overcrowded during spring break and the beach service was good as well. No issues with our stay. Received our check in call a little early which was great and check out was easy.

  My wife and I had an enjoyable time renting the condo unit at Gulf Dunes.
  The rental agency Brooks and Shorey Resorts where very friendly and helpful on there part answering all our questions and making this vacation a wonderful experience. A beach front condo is the only way to go, and this unit provided all the amenities that one would need. Would consider this unit again as a snow-bird from Wisconsin. I can understand why the unit is booked for the 2022 winter Season and why it may be worth to get on there waiting list.

  • Manager Responded on 6/18/2019

    The unfortunate timing of the balcony railing painting project at the Gulf Dunes is totally out of our hands and solely up to the Gulf Dunes Homeowner's Association. We are deeply sorry for the inconveniences this project is causing as we sincerely have no control over it or the schedule. We appreciate all the patience and cooperation of our Gulf Dunes desk and hope this does not deter you from coming back to our beautiful Okaloosa Island in the near future.

  A lot to like, especially the location and floor plan. We also liked the covered parking space and being on the 5th floor. We would request replacing the king bed mattress and updating the furniture in the living room. The latter is more for comfort than for looks, but a new look would also be good. Also, the dishwasher never worked while we were there. Finally, a metal pizza pan would be a nice addition.

  Kim S from Ooltewah, TN does not recommend this vacation rental.

  Pros: Great location and a beautiful view! My husband enjoyed the golf. Well stocked kitchen and plenty of towels. Cons:The baseboards in the master bath were dirty. There were no locks on the sliding doors to balcony so they had dowel sticks in the slots. The door to the Master is like a swinging saloon door. Not an issue for us bc ended up just the 2 of us, but if you wanted privacy that would be a problem. Overall a great week but not sure I would stay in this one again.

  • Manager Responded on 5/26/2018

    Well we are disappointed to hear you would not stay in this lovely unit again. Being directly on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico, the salt water is constantly wearing down everything it gets to..balcony doors and door locks need repairs often, the dowel sticks in the doors allow the guests of this condo to be safely tucked in every night! Yes this condo does have the saloon type door on the master, items such as this vary in the condos, we do have the pictures showing everything though in hopes that our guests see every detail of the condo they are planning to rent. We appreciate you staying with Brooks and Shorey Resorts, we hope to have you back soon!

  Cris B from Westerville, Ohio recommends this vacation rental

  We enjoyed our stay at Gulf Dunes 504. The condo his exactly as pictures with close access to the beach. The weather(colder and windy) cooperated about half the time but since the pool was heated the kids were able to swim. Gulf Dunes has two buildings and as you face the buildings from the road the one we stayed in on the left had a heated pool and the one on right was not. A couple things I would encourage ownership to do is to maintenance the sliding doors from the living room, the kids were not strong enough to open since it was too hard to slid. Also the bunkbeds were real squeaky, if the person on top(child) would move at night it would wake the other person up. Other than that everything was in great shape with no visible wear. I would definitely rent again.

  • Manager Responded on 4/8/2018

    We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your vacation. The heated pool is definitely a convenience on the days that mother nature decides not to cooperate. We appreciate your bringing the door and squeaky bed to our attention. We will have our maintenance staff take care of that. Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. Hope to see you again for another happy vacation.

  Great family vacation!! Family is ready to go back!

  • Manager Responded on 10/23/2017

    Fort Walton Beach-especially Okaloosa Island- truly is the number one family vacation destination. We have the best of everything here, neighboring Destin for all good shopping and restaurants and experiences you're looking for, yet still far enough away from the crowds to get in true relaxation and peacefulness. We're so happy you trusted in Brooks and Shorey to provide you with a nice family vacation home, please come back soon to make some more memories that are sure to last a lifetime!!

  Ginger W from Unionville, MO recommends this vacation rental

  I have always preferred to rent vacation properties from the owner in the past. However, I found this beautiful property online and called Brook & Shorey Resorts to ask questions. I spoke with Marianne and she was so nice and helpful, that I almost felt like I was speaking with the owner, whom they managed it for. Everything was as promised, beautiful and clean with an amazing view of the gulf. The indoor parking space near the elevator as an added bonus. I loved using their app, was very convenient and had so much information available through it! We were able to check in and out, all from our phone. We were there over Labor Day weekend and loved watching the beautiful fireworks display right off our balcony! The location is great, close to everything, yet not overcrowded at all. We would defiantly stay here again!

  • Manager Responded on 10/1/2017

    Thank you for such an amazing review! We are so elated to hear about your stay with us! We agree Marianne is such a great asset to this company! We surely hope to see you again soon!

  Deb M from Dayton, OH recommends this vacation rental

  Our first of many family vacations! We had not been to this area before and was a little apprehensive in committing to a rental strictly over the internet but the ladies at Brooks and Shorey made the process so easy and made me feel confident in moving forward. The unit was great, had everything we needed and high enough to get the view we were wanting....water! We loved the pool and easy access to beach. We were out every day to setup sun or shine and no one bothered our things! The kids had a lot of fun and we met several nice families. My only suggestion to owners would be to add blinds in second bedroom and have dryer vent professionally cleaned, took a long time for things to dry and maybe a couple of standard height chairs in patio...the high chairs were not comfortable only because I had my knees replaced. I would HIGHLY recommend the Gulf Dunes and unit 594!

  Kenneth T from Germantown, TN recommends this vacation rental

  We have stayed at Gulf Dunes for 6 years now and this unit was definitely one of the nicest properties in the complex. Brooks and Shorey management staff was excellent and very accommodating of our needs. We will definitely stay here again. The only negative was that the king bed mattress in the master bedroom was very hard and not comfortable to our taste.

  • Manager Responded on 9/29/2016

    Thank you so much for being such a loyal customer here at the Gulf Dunes, we love to hear that our guests enjoy it here so much that they continue to come back year after year, we will look forward to seeing you again soon.

  a guest from Covington, GA recommends this vacation rental

  I've stayed in another unit in the other GD building so very familiar with this location. It sits on the beach with easy access. Its walking distance from a few tourist & surf shops, a mile or so drive over the bridge to Pubix for grocery shopping, and a few miles from Destin.
  
  This was a nice condo overall and we really enjoyed ourselves. The only cons I have (if you can call them that) are the bathrooms are a little dated & a couple of the kitchen appliances are getting old. The fridge did leak a little but we kept a towel underneath it.
  
  The Brooks & Shorey staff over the phone were great & also fantastic there. The guy that sets up the umbrellas and chairs on the beach is great also.

  • Manager Responded on 8/11/2016

    We appreciate your positive commentary and we are glad that you enjoyed your stay at the Gulf Dunes 504. It was a pleasure to be of service to you during your Gulf front vacation, come back next year for another great time!

  This condo is excellent! Great location and the beach access was very good. The condo was very nice. The only problem we had was the refrigerator. It leaked water from the freezer to inside the icebox. Marianne with Brooks and Shorey was great to work with. Overall, very satisfied. We will definitely rent again. Okaloosa Island is the best!! Thanks for everything!!

  • Manager Responded on 8/13/2016

    We are glad you got the chance this summer to relax unwind and get in the flip flop state of mind! It was a delight to assist you during your Gulf Coast vacation, be sure to keep us in mind next time you are in need of a beach front time out!

  Brenda M from Baton Rouge, LA recommends this vacation rental

  The overall stay at this location was good. The only complaint about the unit was that the mattresses on the bunk beds were hard. The real estate company, Brooks & Shorey did not disclose over the phone during the reservation process that we would be charged the full amount of the weekly stay on our credit card prior to arrival, which was unprofessional. I was also told by the manager that just about all of the companies are now doing this. However, upon checking myself personally with 8 other well known realtors, this is not true. So, I will probably not use Brooks & Shorey again as a vacation rental company.
