  a guest from Independence, LA recommends this vacation rental

  Great condo. Very clean and only steps away from the beach. Loved having extra towel hooks in the bathrooms and hallway! Balcony has plenty of furniture with lots of room to sit and relax. The pool is located on the back of the property with no view of the beach, but we like to hang out at the beach more anyway. Overall a great stay and enjoyed our time here! Brooks and Shorey did an excellent job of making sure we had the check-in info and any information needed for our stay. Great property management company.

  Colleen K from Louisville, KY recommends this vacation rental

  We really like this place. It is our 3rd time renting this condo and it feels like home and vacation all rolled into one. The complex could use some outside renovations but a resident there told me they will be doing some soon. It is beautiful and well decorated. It has all the amenities we needed except could use some leftover containers since we like to cook at the condo most of the time. The view is the BEST! and it is a very short trip to pool or especially the beach!! We had a problem with the internet but Brooks and Shorey employees did their best to have it fixed ASAP. Thank You! I would recommend it.

  Surf Dweller Unit 205 is beautiful. You could not ask for a better view or a better kitchen. The room was very clean and bright. The kitchen was beautiful and well stocked. I only have two minor complaints - The beds are uncomfortable because they are too soft and the living couch and recliner are not comfortable. With that being said, we loved this unit and tried to book for April and next October, but the unit appears to be unavailable anytime in the future months. Brooks and Shorey are great to work with on booking and make everything easy.

  We had a wonderful week at this beach condo! The location is good, not too crowded at the beach. Every condo has a beach balcony facing the ocean(our favorite).Condo had everything we needed, was clean and well maintained. My only complaint was that the condo was supposed to be smoke free and I guess the person before us smoked in there. There was a faint smell of smoke and the trash bags in the trash cans smelled strong of smoke.

  Misty S from San antonio, TX recommends this vacation rental

  wanted to take my mom on her dream vacay to the beach in Florida. The view, access to water, and balcony were my most important must haves and that is why I chose this condo.
  The did have/ did not have:
  Did have generous space. We felt very comfortable and there was plenty of parking. Did have keyless entry-big bonus for beach goers! No need to keep up with keys. Did have full size washer and dryer-the dryer did take a really long time to dry a small load towels (like hours). Did NOT have beach towels, bring or buy your own. Did have ice maker, careful though as the door panel sometimes fell off when using. This snaps right back on but is startling when it first happens. Does have tons of dishes, cups, kitchen equipment-just supply food. Does have keurig duo which is nice-the carafe side does make a bit of a mess when pouring so careful there. Did have starter shampoo, conditioner, lotion, toilet paper, paper towels, laundry powder, dishwasher powder. Did NOT have dish soap, hand soap, any type of cleaner wipes/spray. Did have ceiling fans! Did have great AC. Did have screen doors-these look like they are coming undone so I did not use them.
  Primary bedroom has super-soft mattress...you will love or hate. Looks like box spring, mattress, then thick foam mattress. I did not sleep well on this but I like a very firm mattress. The view from here is great though! The secondary bedroom was not used-it was very dark and uncomfortable feeling. It also had not been cleaned properly.
  Maintenance responded within 10 minutes. Housekeeping responded within a little more than an hour.
  Beach service: I saw chair/umbrella setup as early as 7:30am. Go down early if you want a spot! Several front/center chairs were “reserved” all day even though no one sat in them til after 2pm. I asked one family how they reserved them and was told they paid the attendant $100 per chair, some paid more some paid less but that seems to be the practice for guaran

  Great unit, clean, and perfect oceanfront unit. The balcony is especially nice to watch the waves roll in! The beach service was an extra bonus that our family enjoyed and made our beach set up easy.

  • Manager Responded on 8/13/2019

    Thank you so very much for the amazing review, we are so glad you enjoyed beautiful Surf Dweller 205. Complimentary beach service is a MUST and we get it! Those two chairs and nice umbrella being set up on the beach for you every morning really adds something special to you coastal getaway. Thank you again, we sincerely look forward to having you back!

  The room was very large and spacious with plenty of sitting room. The balcony had plenty of furniture as well, and the view from the 2nd floor was perfect. You could see the ocean/beach from the room whether you were laying down or sitting up. The view was always perfectly at eye level. Planning to book the exact same room next time.

  This is our favorite rental. You can’t get any closer to the beach. The balcony is the biggest in the area. Close to the elevators but not noisy. The kitchen has been remodeled and is open to the living area. There is a nice flow from the kitchen to the dining room. It is fully stocked with everything you need. Every year when we come back there are new updates. You can tell the owners really care about this rental. We will definitely stay again!

  Wendy S from New Albany, OH recommends this vacation rental

  We absolutely loved our Surf Dweller rental and our experience with Brooks and Shorey. From the moment we booked the reservation, B&S sent us everything we could possibly need to get our trip off to a great start. The app with all of the information was invaluable. When our flight landed, we already had the entry code to the condo! Once we arrived, the condo was in perfect condition--beautifully decorated with all the amenities of home. The kitchen had EVERYTHING. Gorgeous views of the ocean from both the living room and the master, and the patio is spacious with comfortable furnishings. The beach was honestly immediately outside our window, with nothing between (the pool is in front, so it didn't block the view or the sound of the waves). Outdoor showers were lovely and the water was not too cold. Easy access to grocery stores and tons of restaurants, and much less traffic than on the eastern communities. We would book this condo again in an instant!

  Alexandra P from California, Maryland recommends this vacation rental

  This was our first trip to Fort Walton Beach (flying from Maryland). We have three kids and we were looking for a second bedroom that had at least 2 full-size or queen size beds. Compared to the 2-bedroom condos I looked around the Okaloosa Island, I was drawn to Surf Dweller, particularly to unit 205 because of the updated kitchen, furniture, bathroom and flooring. I am glad they upgraded the floors to tiles so it was easier to deal with the sand when we come back from the beach. Even if there is a rinse-off section outside the building, it is still inevitable not to bring in sand. The bathrooms are all clean, the kitchen is fully equipped with everything we needed when cooking our meals, and there are plenty of seating available both in the family room and the balcony. There is also plenty of seating in the dining room and the kitchen counters. The beds were very comfortable (we've all slept in on most days, which means, the beds were very comfy). My family made a lot of great memories in this unit and out in the beach. All of the activities and stores were just within 20 minutes away or less. We like how the main road on Okaloosa is not very busy compared to route 98's traffic.

  • Manager Responded on 5/16/2018

    Thank you for taking the time to leave us such an amazing review, We definitely agree Surf Dweller on Okaloosa Island is just the perfect place to vacation, the units are ample and with Okaloosa Island being so family friendly you get to enjoy the majestic Emerald Coast beaches without the traffic . We sure hope to see you again in the beautiful Okaloosa Island

  This is a 2 Bedroom Unit in an older building. The unit was very spacious for a 2 Bedroom. Each bedroom has its own bathroom. The entire unit was remodeled and updated. The furniture was very nice. The beds were very comfortable. The property manager was very prompt in addressing a minor issue. This would be a great unit for 2 Couples. It would also be good for a family. The swimming pool is behind the condo with no view of the ocean. That was not a problem for us. Balcony was big. Kitchen had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again.

  • Manager Responded on 3/7/2018

    We can't thank you enough for your detailed review of your recent off-season stay in 205 at the Surf Dweller!! You hit the nail on the head with your great comments, these are HUGE two bedroom units and just perfect for a double date type vacation or a family getaway. The property does have the pool and other amenities on the northern side of the property so you can't see the Gulf from them, but this can add a special touch of peacefulness to your time on the BALCONY because you don't have the activities and fun from the pool area causing noisy distractions to interrupt your breathtaking Gulf views...just one positive aspect!! The recent remodel in this condo really came out well, we're thrilled you enjoyed the upgrades. Please note that we have a return guest discount for you when you come back so give us a call to make your next reservation in SD 205 and we'll make sure to get that discount in there! We sincerely look forward to having you back!

  • Manager Responded on 10/17/2017

    Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Surf Dweller 205 is a beautifully decorated, spacious condo. We are sorry that you experienced some not so comfortable temperatures in the unit, with the humidity in our area it is very important to keep the doors closed as much as possible to maintain cooler temperatures in the condos. We hope you will come back to visit the gorgeous Okaloosa Island again.

  We had a great week in Surf Dweller 205! This was our second year booking with Brooks & Shorey and we are yet again very happy. The condo had very comfortable beds, tons of space, great large TV's, a well-stocked kitchen, large sound-proof sliding glass doors in living area & master bedroom, and the list goes on & on. The pool was really nice when we just needed a break from the sand & seaweed. Beach service was so nice, we even rented a kayak for a brief adventure! We used the dolphin tour on the Seablaster again, and this will likely be part of our trip each year. Loved this vacation!

  Melissa K from Wentzville , MO recommends this vacation rental

  This condo unit was perfect. Interior was wonderful, very spacious and clean. The ocean front balcony was spectacular. The only minor issue we had during our stay was with other guests at the condo. Having lived in the area for four years during military duty, we fell in love with the beaches and return every year for our family vacation. Obviously, the number of visitors is rising as people start to discover this wonderful spot, especially in the last few years. We love that the island is getting the attention it deserves, however the quaint, serene, laid back atmosphere is getting lost in the shuffle. Not because its too crowded, thats the beauty of the smaller buildings, but because people are so rude and ignorant. Unfortunately, there needs to be a beach etiquette "handbook" added to the check in procedure. its really becoming a problem here and the trend is getting worse every year. Here are a few tips....1. Do not sit directly in front of somebody....especially the beach chair set ups that have been PAID for. there is still plenty of room for everone so there is no need to be a jerk. If you want to walk straight down from the walkway and plop directly at waters edge....PAY THE CHAIR GUY like everyone else. Otherwise put yourself in the open spots that they leave specifically for those who choose to save a little money and bring their own chairs. Those who do pay the extra didnt pay for the luxury of looking at the back of your head.....its just rude! 2. Pick up your trash....really?? 3. If you wanna dig in the sand great, have fun, but fill in that hole before you leave. Dont want to spend your vacation at the doctor for a broken ankle?? Neither do I! This is all simple common courtesy but it is really starting to get out of hand because people are rude. Everyone is there to enjoy this beautiful place on their vacation not just you so lets be aware and keep this beach as wonderful as it is.

  Andrea B from Terre Haute, IN recommends this vacation rental

  We have rented several condos in Florida but this is our favorite one. The rooms are large, spacious and decorated nicely. Beds are comfortable. The air conditioning works very good. The condo sits close to the beach and the balcony has a nice set of furniture.

  • Manager Responded on 4/5/2016

    We are so glad that we were able to help you find your favorite condo here on Okaloosa Island, we definitely agree- this condo is a perfect place for a beach vacation, and we hope that you come and stay with us again in the beautiful 205 at the Surf Dweller

  The family had a wonderful time. The condo looked just like its pictures on the computer. It had a large balcony with a gorgeous view of the ocean.The rooms had a lot of space with two queen beds in the guest bedroom.We would definitely book this place again.This is the second time we have booked using Brooks and Shorey and have found them to be very professional and courteous.

  We couldn't have been happier with Surf Dweller 205. The condo was nicely updated, spacious and very clean. It was exactly what we were expecting based on the description & photos online. The location was great, being that is was close to the stair well on the 2nd floor. The beach wasn't too crowded so it was very relaxing & quiet. Check-in was very easy & everyone that we spoke to at the office was very friendly & helpful. We will definitely stay again!

  • Manager Responded on 9/25/2015

    We are glad you enjoyed your stay in the great updated condo! The weather has been amazing and the beach beautiful, perfect recipe for a wonderful vacation!

  Susan C from Silver Creek, MS recommends this vacation rental

  Our condo 205 was very clean and we we're very happy with the condo. The only things I would suggest as a home owner is the faucet in the guest bathroom comes off with no effort and the guest bedroom bedding could be updated. Those are minor things. We will be back for sure. The Belgian waffle maker was fantastic!! The movie card was very nice to have. We have stayed on Okaloosa Island many times and out of all the condos we prefer Surf Dweller. You won't be disappointed.

  • Manager Responded on 8/19/2015

    Thank you for your wonderful review, this condo is simply beautiful and the owners have really gone above and beyond with all the wonderful little extras.

  We had a great vacation while staying at the wonderful condo. There were no disappointments about the condo! It was very clean and updated. The kitchen was awesome to cook a few meals. The balcony was awesome in the morning and evening. It was close to the beach and had a great view. The location was perfect, not too touristy or crowded! The staff was friendly and accommodating! We definitely would recommend this condo to anyone wanting to vacation in the area!

  condo was nice, except pool is located in front of building.
  Didn't get in our room til 3 hrs after check in time which was ridiculous.

  • Manager Responded on 7/3/2015

    Thank you for taking the time to fill out the online review! We are glad you enjoyed your stay and had a great time despite the late check-in time. We truly apologize for the delay, unfortunately, it took a lot longer to clean the condo than we expected due to the condition it was left in by the previous guests. We always want to make sure that the condos are immaculate for our guests and this time it took longer to get it ready due to the mentioned issue. We hope your stay was awesome and that you will stay with us again in the future.

  We had a good vacation. There is a couple ofthings that need to be updated. The patio set and the matress in the couch needs to be replaced. The condo was nice and clean. We will be back next year.I want to say BIG THANK YOU for helping us get some insurance papers faxed. My sisters house burned down while we was in Florida. Barbara was a big help in getting them faxed back. Other wise she would have had to fly back home to take care of paper work. THANK YOU Brooks and Shorey.

  • Manager Responded on 8/25/2014

    Thank you so much for taking time to fill out the online review! We are very sorry to hear about your sister's trouble. Glad we could help in some way! Thanks for your nice comments and we are happy you had a good time and enjoyed your vacation. Looking forward to seeing you again at the Surf Dweller! The mattress in the sofa is new as of March 2014 and pieces of patio furniture are brand new as of August 2014. Actually, they were placed there by the condo owners just prior to your arrival.

  We really enjoyed the Surf Dweller Condo #205. We had a family trip to the beach and our condo seemed to be the gathering place! The big square table was nice, the large kitchen was great and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole unit. It was also great to have the umbrella/chair setup on the beach included with the condo.

  We loved our stay at the condo and it was in a great location for families! We had some difficulties finding the main office when we got to town and they were closed at five and we couldn't reach anyone. We got our information letter from the lock box at the office but it didn't tell us where to look for the code to get in our condo but we found another guest that was outside and they told us. Other than that we had a great stay and will stay there again!
