  a guest from stillwater, OK recommends this vacation rental

  lovely location right on the beach! beautiful beach & ocean views from the balcony and from inside the condo! it's not directly over the pool, which i prefer!
  the condo is nicely furnished. decent beds (i'm personally not a fan of the bamboo or polyester feeling sheets. there is not a cotton option available.) the master bathroom is updated, kitchen was well stocked. no beach towels are provided, like other establishments where i have stayed. maybe sometging to consider for travelers flying with only a carry on.
  thankfully there is still an alvin's island & surf shop within walking distance (but demolition of those stores looks possible in the near future).
  it would be nice if the fans were updated where they could run with the lights off. despite the minor issues listed, i would stay in unit 312 again!

  Joni B recommends this vacation rental

  What a wonderful week!! This was our first time staying in the Okaloosa/Ft. Walton area. We have stayed along 30A, and in PCB, multiple times, but I loved the Okaloosa Ft Walton area more! The condo was wonderful, exactly as shown in the pictures. Plenty of room for 3 adults and 3 kids. CLEAN, and well stocked with all the things needed if you wanted to cook. We did have a problem with the AC not working when we arrived,and one call to Brooks and Shorey and they handled it very promptly, and professionally. Had a AC tech come and it was fixed in no time! Pools and area clean. Several really good restaurants within walking distance. Quick drive to the Boardwalk, more places to eat and some shops, and an easy short drive into Destin to eat at our favs, McGuires and The Back Porch! We WILL be back!

  • Manager Responded on 6/10/2024

    We love to hear your feedback, Joni! Okaloosa Island welcomes you back anytime and we will happily include your return guest discount.

  We have always enjoyed our stays on Okaloosa Island and this time was no exception. Great condo with all the basic furnishings, beautiful views, adequate parking, and great location. Pools are very small, but the beach is amazing! The room lacked some basic kitchen essentials that are often times found in other condos, especially cooking utensils, dish soap, kitchen rags and towels. The condo is set up a lot like Azure (next door), but a bit older.

  Ed W from Mt. Juliet, TN recommends this vacation rental

  Just across the street from Stewby's, Gulf Dunes is perfectly located. Unit 312 was clean and nicely furnished, although it would be enhanced considerably with a little TLC. A larger, wall-mounted flat screen now occupies the living room, rather than what is shown in the photo, which was a nice surprise. The unit could use a few more pans and a baking sheet. Also suggest adding a wall-mounted power strip in the bunk room so kids can more easily hookup a video game system.

  a guest from Evansville, IN recommends this vacation rental

  The condo was very clean, comfortable, and spacious, They were more than generous with towels and bedding. Check in was a breeze. There was plenty of information. All amenities were top notch. The Alexa was a nice touch. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be booking again! I would recommend removing the old exhaust fan in the main bathroom, since the new one is in and working. The vending machine was not working at all and took a few dollars from us, and I did not see any movie rental on site as mentioned. We went to Redbox nearby instead. Some of the many remotes in the living room were not functioning. The storage box by the parking spot in the garage was inaccessible, I am not sure if this was supposed to be. I would also recommend updating the stereo to something blue tooth enabled or with usb connectivity. However these were very minor inconveniences and I am thankful for what was supplied. The living room furniture, while tasteful, was a bit worn. This was a great value and the plus far exceeded the minus.

  • Manager Responded on 4/9/2021

    Thanks for the review! We are unaware of any issues with this unit and recommend all guests advise of any issues so that we can resolve the issue in a timely manner. Please note we no longer offer movie rentals and do not own the vending machines. We will however pass on your recommendations to the owners and hope that you will be back again next year!

  This condo was perfect for us. The decor was cute and beachy. Everything was in good, working order. Someone "paid it forward" and left beach toys and a couple of chairs. We did the same and left some boards. I love that for checkin and out, that you get a phone call with the door code and for checkout I could use the mobile checkout. So convenient! Everything was wonderful! We already have our next vacation here planned!

  Jen G from Glen Carbon, IL recommends this vacation rental

  We had such a great time staying here! The location could not be better, as it overlooks the beach. We loved spending time on the balcony, listening to and watching the waves. It was so nice having a washer and dryer to keep up with our laundry, and the kitchen was very nice. There is a Publix about 5 minutes away, so we were able to stock the kitchen with food and avoid having to eat out all the time. The parking garage spot was located directly below the condo, and directly in the path we took to walk out to the beach, so it was great to store our towels and beach gear and not have to lug it clutter up the condo. The check in/check out process was so easy, and they were very attentive to our needs. The beach wasn’t overly crowded, and we had no trouble finding an empty umbrella each day. My only complaint is about the master bedroom mattress. It was so uncomfortably hard that by the third night, we made our kids trade beds with us. Otherwise, this was a great place to stay, and I would love to stay here again in the future!!

  The 312 condo got the job done. It wasn’t anything special or fancy, just adequate lodging.
  
  Pros-
  Beach view, beach is super close, chairs and umbrella every day, 2 pools, covered parking, easy check in/out, plenty of room, cleaned well
  
  Cons- furniture is old or gives and old vibe- couch was flat and worn out, master bed is very hard, many of the outlets were loose in the bedrooms so it made it hard to charge phones without them falling out, TV in living room is old- couldn’t plug our Roku into it, had to plug it in in guest bedroom, which was annoying. One elevator was also broken.
  
  Overall, our stay was fine and we had a good time. Next time we might look somewhere else, but for our first time to Ft. Walton, It was descent.

  Jeffrey H from Easley, South Carolina does not recommend this vacation rental.

  We love the area and have stayed at Gulf Dunes for the last couple of years. We loved our condo which was large clean and well kept. When we arrived one elevator was out of service until Wednesday of that week, shortly after that the other elevator went out of service, we ended up walking the steps a lot. Also during our visit the was an extremely large group that was there all week in the room directly over the swimming pool from Louisanna that took over the pool area at night playing loud music and smoking constantly on the balcony over the pool area. They also liked playing pranks including laying a real looking alligator blowup out on the beach at night to try and scare people. They also one evening dug a 4 foot hole in the sand out on the beach hoping someone would fall into it at night. There were also 4 teens that would take over the swimming pool and throwing a Soccerball as hard as they could at each other while spread all over the pool.

  • Manager Responded on 6/11/2018

    We are honestly and sincerely disappointed to hear such negative feedback from your recent stay at the Gulf Dunes...seems all the negative was related to fellow co-vacationers that were also at the Gulf Dunes during your vacation. We are sorry this aspect of your getaway put such a damper on your vacation fun, unfortunately rude manners or lack-thereof, is not something that can be controlled by outside forces. If we could we'd have everyone follow all rules and be considerate of others trying to enjoy a relaxing getaway. We do have a great non-emergency sheriff office staff in Okaloosa County that are always on standby for issues such as these you've mentioned, so next time please give us a call and let us know or give that Sheriff's number a call and report the violations of the property rules and they will immediately send someone to assess the situation. This is the best solution to this busy-season concern. Thank you so much for your 5 stars on everything else, and for your return visits with Brooks and Shorey Resorts. We truly appreciate your business and hope to have you and yours back in the future.

  Ashley M from Canton, GA recommends this vacation rental

  We originally booked this condo for a bachelorette weekend with 7 girls but only ended up going with 4. I felt there was plenty of room for the 4 of us but adding up to 7 may have been cramped for 7 adults. Beds were confortable and the condo had everything we needed! We love that the chairs and umbrella are included with the room, just reduces the hassle! We however did hear a constant knocking that began before 8am most days. Unsure if there was construction going on or what it was?? Overall we had a wonderful stay at Gulf Dunes 312!

  • Manager Responded on 9/7/2017

    These two bedroom units at the Gulf Dunes are jewels and rent FAST...with the extra bunk room, there are many companies who even rent them as 3 bedroom units sleeping more than 8. We like to rent them as the two bedroom units they are with the extra bunk room being just a bonus for the little ones. They can sleep up to 8 guests and there are many groups that comfortably sleep that many in these floorplans...we hope your 5 star ratings though are indicative of the amazing enjoyable time you and your girlfriends had while staying in beautiful unit 312. Congrats on the upcoming wedding and we hope the wedding is everything the bride has been dreaming of!! Thank you so much for trusting Brooks and Shorey Resorts to get you in the right vacation home for your bachelorette trip, please keep in mind we have a return guest discount for all our repeat renters so call us directly to book your next vacation.

  Jenifer N from Alexandria, KY recommends this vacation rental

  Condo was well taken care of and the Complex was also well taken care of. We enjoyed our stay here.
  The only thing about the condo I didn't like was that the living room furniture was pretty uncomfortable but we were rarely in there to sit around.
  Also, I don't like the management's policy about check in was "sometime after 4PM, please be patient until 6PM". I have never seen that in all of our vacations. If you are paying that much money and traveling that far, I would expect an exact time. If you cannot deliver on that time, you need to hire more staff. I'm sure there would have been issues if we said our check out time is 10:00 but may be later if we weren't ready.
  I really liked the Management company's app...good communication

  • Manager Responded on 8/5/2017

    We are thrilled that you enjoyed use of our brand new Brooks and Shorey APP. Yes this is our policy as stated in the rental contract you signed for the reservation, check in starts at 4 and can take up til 6PM on some occasions, just dependent on the day and housekeeping's schedule. Check out is 10AM as stated in our policy, there isn't a way to extend that normally as there's usually another guest arriving that same day. We do need that full time from 10AM til 4-6PM to get each condo cleaned and up to standards. We are sorry this had such a negative affect of your opinion of your stay with us. This Gulf Dunes two bedroom condo is just wonderful and we hope the condo was everything you and yours were expecting on your vacation. Please come see us again soon for another stay in paradise!!

  Kathleen S from Symsonia, KY recommends this vacation rental

  Condo needed some update....bedroom carpeting needed replaced and condo needed fresh paint. Floors needed scrubbing.

  • Manager Responded on 5/26/2017

    Thank you greatly for trusting Brooks and Shorey Resorts to book your home away from home for a fun girls vacay! We are thrilled with your high ratings on our review and we appreciate your feedback on your stay. These condos are absolutely lovely and give ample amount of space- you don't get this in all two bedroom condos so that bunk room is a huge plus in this budget friendly rental. We appreciate your feedback on the floors, we did have it inspected and we didn't come across anything more than the normal wear from lots of good times in the sun and SAND in this beach front condo. Unfortunately with the perfect location and proximity to the beach walking around with no shoes or wet flips flops through the parking lot and garage, sand does have a tendency to stick in the small pores in the tile and carpets of course too, not to mention any dirt from the bottoms of feet and shoes tends to rub down into the flooring throughout your stay. The floors were deep cleaned, steamed and sanitized relatively recently, but we are looking into having the carpets done again just to make sure everything stays up to standards....thank you again for your amazing review and we look forward to having you and your friends back to Okaloosa Island.

  Mom and I had a great time at Gulf Dunes. Very convenient to shopping, grocery stores, restaurants and other activities. The condo was clean and decorated nicely. The view from the balcony was great! The staff was so very helpful. The garage parking was so very convenient. There were beach toys. The pools were nice. I liked the fact that there was a full size washer and dryer in the unit. We love the white sand beaches. The location of this condo was great and was easy to enter and exit from not crowded like the main road.

  • Manager Responded on 11/8/2016

    We appreciate you trusting Brooks and Shorey Resorts to get you and your mother into a nice condo rental for a lovely beach getaway. We love the Gulf Dunes Condominiums, the condos are so nice. The layouts of the rooms are nice with the two bedrooms featuring the BUNK BED ROOM for the kids-HUGE PLUS. Gulf Dunes affords the most breathtaking views plus you are close enough to the fishing boardwalk that you can enjoy watching that activity. The dolphins love to play in the water up near the shores on Okaloosa Island, this is a great treat for guests they'll put on a show for everyone! Sincerely thank you for booking through us, we are so glad you and your mother had a successful and happy beach vacay.

  a guest from Clinton, MS recommends this vacation rental

  I was in town for my daughter’s national cheer competition (THEY PLACE 1ST & GRAND CHAMPION ? ) at the end of April 2016. This was my first time ever staying in a condo and I must say the staff at Broods and Shore Gulf Dunes made my stay one to remember. At the time of check in the property manager Marianne greeted me with a huge smile and she had all of my information ready as soon as I walked through the door. The room my family and I stayed in was VERY CLEAN and we had PLENTY of space to move around and not fill crowded. The kids especially loved the balcony and staying right on the beach. The property was very quiet and travel friendly. I loved the room so much that I am already looking into booking another condo with this property. If you are looking for a condo and aren’t too sure about it trust me it’s worth every dollar spent. THANKS AGAIN GULF DUNE STAFF.

  Mark R recommends this vacation rental

  We were here after thanksgiving, 2015, for 3 nights. The balcony has a nice view of the ocean and is spacious enough to eat on / hang out on. The room itself is tastefully decorated without anything too large or in the way, which was nice for our 3 and 1 year old kids to run and toddle around in. The bunk room was good for the 3 year old, however, the top bunk (that we didn't use) would be maybe tough since there is a sprinkler head with a cage over it centered a couple feet over the mattress (i.e. we wouldn't feel good with our kid up there). the kitchen had newer appliances and was nice, and was fully stocked for drinking and cooking. the living room was nice and had good media equipment. the master bedroom and 2 bedroom were fine too. loved the location.

  This was the third time we rented at Gulf Dunes. The onsite staff was very good and the beach/chair service was great.
  
  Overall condo 312 west was nice and some of the upgrades (tile,kitchen) were good, although the bathrooms were dated and worn and need upgraded.
  
  The overall condition of the condo complex and pool area was average. The condo and pool area needs some upgrades. Most of the condos nearby had better pool areas (trees/sitting areas/pool service).

The master and living with a beach view was terrific. Third floor, not too high but high enough to see over the pool and dunes. This unit had covered parking which was nice. We had no problems at all with anything not working. Brooks and Shorey management was good too. We arrived at midnight but no problem getting in the room.

  We have been staying with various brooks and shorey properties for the past 4 years and this unit by far meets most of our expectations (great view, location, good sized beds with bonus room of course).The check in was on time unlike with our previous stays.The minor flaws are the occassional clog in bathtubs, partly damp carpet in bedroom and dust in some appliances like tv (im a neat freak thats why i took noticed)anyway overall the unit was fairly clean,the cooking and cutting utensils were cuisinart and knives were ginsu. The kids loved the bunkbed room with tv. They enjoyed their privacy. I wish they would have a broomstick so that we dont have tovacuum few dirts on the inside and outside floor. I brought lysol wipes for the tv remote control and knobs which are sticky:( Thanks to Marianne for a prompt response to all our queries. Also, the onsite check in was so convenient which we were told they just do it in gulf dunes and pelican isle properties. The 1 designated covered parking was helpful for those with kids. We will definitely return to this unit. Rest assured that what you see in the photos is what you get with regards to space , furnitures, views.

  We've stayed at the Gulf Dunes for several years (unit 312 for a couple of years) now when we visit Fort Walton Beach and we've enjoyed it.
  
  The beach is fantastic and the complex is nice. The staff is very helpful if you need anything. They also have the movie rental box on location now so you don't have to go anywhere else if you want to rent a movie.
  
  I would highly recommend the Gulf Dunes and I have to several friends coming down from the Houston, Texas area.
  
  We'll be back next year!

  a guest from Metairie, LA recommends this vacation rental

  Overall was a great experience. Condo was convenient and at easy location to get to. Room was situated nicely in building; 3rd floor gave good view of the beach. Dishwasher smelled upon arrival but call to management got quick response; someone came and ran the dishwasher with bleach which cleared up the smell. Also, there was a dirty sheeet on one of the bunk beds. New sheets were brought but just left them; maybe could have made the bed but maybe that's nit-picking. The room was very nicely decorated and enjoyed our stay. Plenty of parking for our 3 vehicles. Would definetly recommend.

  a guest from Lizella, Ga does not recommend this vacation rental.

  The property itself overall was nice but the condo that we stayed in needed a lot of work. The furniture was old and dated, the couch and loveseat was damp and smelled. The rugs were cheap and the bedroom carpet felt damp as well. The bed was a nice size
  (loved the king) but the mattress was hard and felt like we slept on a sidewalk. The walls needed to be painted, very tattered. Outlets and fixtures were not securely in the wall. The appliances were good (liked the microwave & washer & dryer) with the exception
  of the iron which did not work. The TV in the main living area was nice. We loved the location and the balcony views. All and all our vacation was great; just expected a nicer living environment for the price. We were there for seven days.

• Gulf Dunes Stay - Was very pleased with all aspects of the property. My only complaint was the check in. Became quite hectic with so many checking in at the same time. The young lady was doing all she could to get us checked in.

  Monica B from Cleveland, TN recommends this vacation rental

  We have stayed with B&S resorts before and will do so again. However, this time we discovered that the iron in the unit did not work and called the office to get another. The manager apologized and said she would try to get one to our unit by the next morning, but we never heard from her again. So we ended up having to go and buy a new iron in order to press our clothes for dinner. Now we are waiting to hear back from the manager again, as my son realized that he had left his wallet in the recliner of the unit as we were half way home. We called immediately on Friday and she assured us that she would have housekeeping look for it and call me back either way. No phone call. I just got off the phone with the weekend manager and she has asked that I call back tomorrow as she can find no notes or record in regard to my request. I know this is a bust time but there needs to be better follow through on requests.

  The view was beautiful, just glad I had a maintenance man for a husband. He had to fix the master toilet several times because it would hang up, the breaker tripped in the master bathroom one night. The worst was the water pressure! You could not use water in two places at the same time. There were two bathrooms but you could not use them at the same time, nor the sink, dishwasher or washing machine. Gulf Dunes is a beautiful place, I just would want to check out the other rooms available.

  This is the first time we have stayed at Gulf Dunes and it was a wonderful experience! The rooms were very nice and clean. Most Condos do not have much in the way of kitchen ware but this condo had everything you could possibly need. The locattion was convenient and close to everything. We enjoyed the complimentary beach chairs and umbrella. We will definately be staying at Gulf Dunes again!

  This was our 2nd year at Gulf Dunes & we love staying there. Our only complaint would be the water, last year we had the Red Tide that really messed the water up & this year we had the June Grass/ or just algea that made the water not very pretty. But we can't blame that on Gulf Dunes, just mother nature! Anyway we had a couple of pretty water days, so that made it OK.

  The staff was very helpful and the condo was well kept and very clean. The only issue I would say that I had to work out was with the complimentary chairs being an issue with our canopy. The guys who set up should be respectful and not set up other guests in front of canopies. They should place that guests complimentary chairs where the guest chooses without arguement. Other than that, everything went very well and our stay was enjoyable and I would highly recommend Gulf Dunes for families.

  Debra P from Huntsville, AL does not recommend this vacation rental.

  We normally stay in the Sumerlin, we decided to try something new for a change. The outside of the Gulf Dunes was much prettier than the inside. The rooms were small and the layout was not very functional. The master bath door and the bedroom door overlapped. The kitchen was not well stocked. Very few linens, only 1 kitchen dish cloth and 2 towels, only 1 wash cloth and 3 bath towels per bathroom. TV's were very small and only had a VHS player in the bedrooms. We could not rent VHS tapes anywhere. The only DVD player in the living room was broke and was not replaced for 2 days. The staff was very nice, but for the money I would never stay here again. We were so dissatisfied we went around to other condos and looked at their rooms to better educate ourselves rather than trust pictures again. The beach was Beautiful, the weather was Perfect, and we ate at some delicious restaurants, so the vacation was wonderful.
  Thank you, Debra P.
