  Gulf Dunes is our go to condo when we come to Okaloosa Island - the location is great we have booked with Brooks and Shorey for our last 4 vacations and we would recommend them to anyone. Gulf Dunes 412 was very clean and cozy we enjoyed our stay.

  The condo was very clean and had what we needed for a nice stay. I would suggest that screens be put on the sliding doors so that they can be left open during the night to listen to the ocean waves. Also, for us non techy people, instructions on how to use the TV remotes.

  William H from Lancaster, SC recommends this vacation rental

  This was my first time using Brooks and Shorey and I had a great experience during the whole process. When I first was looking at properties I was able to speak to someone over the phone that was very helpful. Brooks and Shorey provided great communication throughout the process and they checked in on us upon our arrival with all the necessary info we needed for the condo. We enjoyed the condo, there were some minor cosmetic things but nothing that caused any problems. The condo was very spacious and was clean upon our arrival. The couches looked a little aged but we just put a sheet over them and it was fine. The master bed wasn't the most comfortable bed but nothing can compare to your own bed at home. There was more than enough silverware, plateware, utensils, etc. that we needed. There was a standard coffee machine and a keurig type machine so we were impressed with both of these. The stainless steel appliances all worked great. The view of the beach from the balcony was just gorgeous and we loved looking out there every morning while eating breakfast or drinking our coffee. I would recommend Gulf Dunes and we had a great experience with Brooks and Shorey so I would work with them again.

  • Manager Responded on 10/3/2023

  a guest from Dexter, MI recommends this vacation rental

  The condo was clean and nicely decorated. The complex and grounds were well-maintained and clean as well. We had a slight issue getting the internet to work and it was resolved quickly and easily. The kitchen is well-stocked, but needs a baking sheet. We would have liked additional bedding as there were not enough pillow cases for all pillows and the comforters were very thin. Furniture was pretty comfortable and in good condition. Views of the gulf were great! We appreciated the included beach service. We went on one Dolphin cruise and had fun, but did not get a chance to use other included activities due to weather.

  • Manager Responded on 4/3/2023

  Timothy H from HAMILTON, OH, OH recommends this vacation rental

  The unit overall was very nice and had a great view of the beach. We enjoyed having our morning coffee and watching the sunsets from the balcony. We saw dolphins in the water every morning around 7-8am. The location is close to shopping and restaurants.
  The only issue we had with the condo was the popcorn ceiling falling from the ceiling.You really could not eat at the counter due to pieces of drywall falling every time the AC came on. We did report this to the rental agency, but it appears to have been going on for a period of time.
  Beyond that slight inconvenience the Condo was great!

  • Manager Responded on 9/28/2022

    We are so glad you got to see dolphins every morning on your trip! We love that the view was great and that the location was ideal. Thanks so much for letting us know about the ceiling. We will have maintenance address this issue today. See you soon, Timothy!

  Angela R from Decatur, GA recommends this vacation rental

  We were impressed the minute we opened the door! We had a 2 bedroom condo that was decorated beautifully and equipped with everything you could possibly need or want. In the past, we had rented places that claimed to be oceanfront, only to be disappointed because you needed binoculars to actually see the ocean, but this condo exceeded our expectations! The balcony was the length of the living room and master bedroom combined with access from both rooms, and you could almost touch the water. The sunrise and sunset views were spectacular, and you could literally hear the waves crashing on the beach! The rental also offered free activities daily, including golf at a variety of courses, even in the off-season. The entire rental process from check-in to check-out was seamless, with no hidden fees. Redeeming our free activities could not have been easier, and the staff at Brooks and Shorey Resorts were very accommodating and helpful. All in all, our vacation was everything we had hoped for, and more! If we could give this experience more than 5 stars, we would. We will absolutely seek rental properties managed by this company for future vacations!

  Loved the condo. The view was breathtaking. Would stay here again. We have stayed at several units at Gulf Dunes, this was our favorite, just wished they used the bedding as pictured, the white was sorta bah and most the furniture was stained, but I just put covers on the sofa and love seat. Baseboards and bathroom vanities cabinet were dusty & dirty, there again I wiped them clean myself. A lot of the dishes were not properly cleaned, must not have been rinsed well before putting in dishwasher and were put away in cabinets. Other than that, we were pleased.

  • Manager Responded on 10/19/2021

    Thank you for review. We apologize for the condo not being up to par for your stay; we will notify housekeeping about the condition you found the condo.

  Very pleased with this condo! The view of the ocean can't be beat! We loved being so close to the water - getting to and from the beach was so convenient.

Being able to see the ocean from the kitchen, dining room, living room and master bedroom was great! The balcony was very spacious. Kitchen was well stocked and we appreciated the extra pillows and blankets in bedrooms. Condo was very clean upon arrival. Highly recommend this rental!

  We had a wonderful time with family using this condo. The kitchen seemed to be a little more spacious than other condos we have rented on Okaloosa Island. The condo was clean and the description was accurate regarding the location, layout, and amenities. We enjoyed the fireworks from the pier off in the distance. We were close to shopping, Publix grocery, the Gulfarium. We saw turtles, and dolphins off of the pier and dolphins from our balcony. Truly a relaxing experience and I highly recommend the area for families on the beach.

  My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at GD412. The kids loved the bunk bed as well as the double beds in the 2nd bedroom. The balcony was a nice size and away from the pool but close enough to view the pool. When I back in the area, GD will be top of the list for future vacations.

  Shauna H from Smyrna, TN recommends this vacation rental

  Our stay at Gulf Dunes was amazing! The condo was very clean. It was just as it was pictured. The kitchen was fully stocked. The only complaint I have was that the refrigerator wasn't cold when we arrived. I really appreciated the deep clean they did on it, but it would have been nice to know that it wouldn't be cold until 24 hours later. The bacon and lunch meat ruined overnight. Everything else was salvageable. If I had known this in advance I would have just waited until the following day to go to the store. Otherwise its a great place. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I got a very fast response when I called about the refrigerator even though it was after hours. I would definitely stay here again.

  • Manager Responded on 8/14/2018

    We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at the Gulf Dunes. We are sorry that you lost some food items in the refrigerator overnight. Our housekeepers thoroughly clean the refrigerators between each guest. The refrigerators are cold but if you fill it full of warm drinks and food, it will bring the temperature down and it takes time to bring it back up. We look forward to your next stay with us on the beautiful Okaloosa Island.

  We came to Destin for the first time this July. We stayed in unit 412. The unit was nice and clean looked like the pictures we were satisfied. The beach was clean. We were very disappointed with the size of the pool and the lack of activities to do on the beach. We enjoy renting water sports and there were none of those attractions on the beach.

  • Manager Responded on 7/16/2018

    Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us , we are glad to hear Gulf Dune 412 was up to par for your stay, we are sorry to hear about the lack of activities , but we will recommend Destin for a larger selection of activities , you are just 5 to 10 mins away from Okaloosa Island!

  My friend and I stayed here May 15-19 2018. She said it was the best condo she'd ever stayed in. Pictures are true except for towel animals on the beds. Beachy feel without being overly decorated. Sofa bed and master bed very comfortable. Kitchen well stocked,water pressure and shower heads wonderful. Great view from 4th floor balcony. Check out Old Bay Steamer 2 blocks away, little pricey but very good.

  Unit 401 was not only lovely, and well kept, it was fully stocked with plenty of towels and kitchen items! The owners definitely know how to make your vacation stay comfortable. Check in wasn’t the best, but that has nothing to do with the owner or unit, that was a Gulf Dunes staff issue.

  • Manager Responded on 4/15/2018

    We are so excited that you enjoyed your stay at Gulf Dunes 412. It is an awesome condo. We are sad to hear that your check in process wasn't the best. We advise our guest that check-in time is after 4:00 p.m. and 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 truly hope that this does not keep you from coming back to stay with us.

  Lloyd K from Wichita, KS recommends this vacation rental

  Was in a little older area, but never felt unsafe. the condo was updated with comfortable beds, nice new kitchen and bathroom as described. The grounds were clean and well maintained. Only near resteraunt would recommend was Asiagos Skillet as the others are expensive with few choices, or you can't get waited on. We walked out on one after 15 min. of being ignored and even though is was Saturday night, they were not busy, so Destin is where the dining is.. Overall we enjoyed the condo and our stay but there were a few issues. Beach service was provided for 2 people, which is a little disappointing as we had 3 people and even though there was usually 10-20 empty chairs, you couldn't just pull over a third or you would be charged, so we ended up just buying chairs at the beach store. Condo needs a thorough cleaning, vents & baseboards don't appear to get much attention. Had to put in maintenance request for clogged toilet as we couldn't even find the plunger, and even after they came it kept clogging. also patio door in living room requires Herculean strength as it keeps jumping the track and the patio doors have no screens, so you let everything in with the breeze. Set off smoke alarms twice, once using the oven & once when we turned on the furnace as it was pretty cool and windy one night of our trip.

  • Manager Responded on 10/22/2017

    Thank you kindly for your great feedback from your recent stay in the Gulf Dunes unit 412. It is the time of year when we are going through each condo deep cleaning each as well as having carpets upholstery and tile steam cleaned as needed. This condo will be spotlessly clean very soon! We apologize while you were here for the cleanliness not meeting your standards, we wish you would have given us the chance to address and correct issues you had while you were here. Complimentary beach service does include two chairs and one umbrella, each chair and umbrella is for rent though through the beach service directly so you can get extra as needed while you were there on the beach. Clogged toilets happen unfortunately in these condominium buildings the plumbing sometimes goes through issues, we apologize for this item and ask for your understanding in this matter. Unfortunately the condos that have the balcony screen doors are highly susceptible to the AC system freezing up which is extremely difficult to avoid if you are keeping the balcony doors open. This has led to many condo owners taking out the screen doors completely. We truly appreciate you booking through Brooks and Shorey Resorts and we look forward to your return to our beautiful Emerald Coast!!!

  This is our 2nd time vacationing with Brooks & Shorey Rentals. We love it! The vacation package is great and helps us to save a little money while still exploring the ocean. We did have some issues with the DVD players in this particular condo. It would have been nice to have been able to utilize the player in the bedroom. It would have been nice to have a DVD player in the living room also. Another thing we noticed, the knives in the kitchen need to be sharpened or replaced.

  Very clean and comfortable condo. It's on the 4th floor so we had a beautiful view of the gulf and as it's far enough from the pool that we didn't get a lot of pool noise. This is really a 3 bedroom unit but I guess they can't call it that since the room with bunk beds doesn't have a closet. Very spacious.

  • Manager Responded on 8/13/2017

    We so appreciate your 5 star ratings on all our online questionnaire parts! You explained this lovely condo unit 412 at the Gulf Dunes Condominiums perfectly! Yes, these two bedrooms have a spacious floorplan allowing for an extra bunk room big enough for maybe a dresser and TV also. As they don't have the closet, just as you've said, we don't count them as a true 3 bedroom while many of our competitors do. We love these!! What a great setup for a family with little ones OR those teens who need their own space-and on a budget too!! Thank you greatly for taking the time to submit your feedback from your stay with us, we sincerely hope to have you back to the Emerald Coast as soon as your schedule allows!

  We really enjoyed Gulf Dunes and the access to Destin. After hours check-in went smoothly and I appreciated the availability of carts to help unload the car. The condo was well-stocked and I enjoyed having full size washer and dryers. The only negative was this condo needed a deep clean. The baseboards were very dirty and so was the pantry door (grime up and down the front. The walls were also very dirty in the bathrooms. Lastly, the coverlets were "slick" and I could tell they needed laundering. Overall, we had a positive experience.

  I thought this place was pretty good. Beds maybe were not the most comfortable beds in the world, also, it would be helpful if they provided a tv guide of sorts to know what the channels were. Other then that, It was nice. Looks like the pictures, I found it to be clean, master bathtub was larger than a standard tub which is always a bonus in my book. Views are fantastic, location was convenient. I would certainly go back.

  Michelle T from Burleson, TX recommends this vacation rental

  Right on the beach, two swimming pools. Well equipped condo, everything just as pictured. Great panoramic view from the balcony. Plenty of seating on the balcony, 4 chairs and a table and a lounge chair. Condo is within walking distance of the boardwalk shops and restaurants (it is a few minute walk, but a nice walk down the beach). The beach is gorgeous white sand and the water is beautiful. Plenty to do nearby as Destin is just a 5 minute drive away. Would stay here again! Great and easy check-in, friendly people! Free movies which was nice for the kids to unwind at the end of the day. Although they were so tired they usually didn't make it all the way through one!! Thanks for sharing your vacation condo with us!

  Patricia B from Oklahoma City, OK recommends this vacation rental

  The condo was in great shape! The beds were comfortable and everything was in good working condition. We did have to call maintenance once about the wifi, but it turns out that it was connected to an outlet controlled by a wall switch, which was easily fixed. The tv remote in the living room wasn't the best, but we made due. We really enjoyed playing tennis in the evening, but we could not get the court lights to come on at all. It would have been nice to have an after hours person available at the front desk. Overall, we loved our stay, and would not hesitate to stay there again on our next trip.

  a guest from Indian Springs, Al recommends this vacation rental

  Since the Gulf and weather were gorgeous, I'll concentrate on the unit. Staff very accommodating and nice. Beach chair rentals convenient;they do not have the cushions on them but if you have a thick towels, still comfortable. Room was nice, but expected it to be better; the pictures make it look nicer than it is in person. Could use a pub table and chairs on balcony. Housekeeping should make sure that there isn't sand in the sheets; it makes you wonder if they were cleaned, but I'm sure it was most likely from washer. Washing machine does leak water but there is a drain in the laundry room. I may return back to the property, but not sure I'd stay here, for the money I can get something a bit more high end. Needs a cutting board in the kitchen. In the end we had a very nice time and the unit was fine for our needs.

  • Manager Responded on 9/21/2014

    Thank you very much for taking the time to write us this review! I couldn't agree more- Okaloosa Island is absolutely gorgeous and the beaches are wonderful..and we are so glad you got to enjoy your vacation here. We will definitely relay your comments about this unit to the owner of the condo, thanks for the suggestions, sorry you feel the unit was lacking something. We appreciate you staying with us at Brooks and Shorey give us a call next time you want to come visit and we will get you your return guest discount and we do hope you come see us again in Fort Walton Beach, even if in a different unit.

  The location of this property is great. The view from the balcony is awesome. The beach service is great especially not having to set up a tent each day - love the umbrella and chair service. The condo was nice but the bedroom furniture could use a little updating-possibly some new mattresses. Overall, our vacation was wonderful and relaxing.

  My family and I had a great time. The only improvement would be that the restrooms located poolside stay open until at least the pool closing and that their be a handicap ramp over the dunes so that disabled walkers would not have to take all those steps on the West side. We will certainly consider staying at your facility again next summer. Your staff was very pleasant and helpful. Thank you again,

  Our stay at Gulf Dunes 412 would have been incredible except for the guests upstairs who were obviously college students and enjoyed playing beer pong at 2am resulting in multiple calls to the local police department. The view was wonderful but due to smokers on the surrounding balconies we couldn't enjoy our own balcony without being subjected to smoke drifting in. We would like to stay at this location again, but would only do so if we could stay in a top floor unit.
