Loved this condo. It was nicely decorated and clean. Spacious enough for a bigger family. Having a end unit is a plus, you also get side windows. Beds were comfortable, nothing to complain about. Will recommend and definitely will be coming back.

Great stay!

The stay was great - location was nice as it’s in a quieter neighborhood. I will say that the place could possibly be updated a bit and attention made to some broken shutters and peeling paint: however, nothing that affected our stay. Something to note is that there is basically just the bare minimums so be prepared to being a bunch of your own times or to grocery shop when there. They do warn you about that. Overall it did meet expectations.

Just as listed!!!

The condo was very spacious, comfortable, and provided everything we needed. Each time we contacted management about something (nothing big), they were Johnny on the spot. The only drawback is the distance to the beach!! It is a haul. You have to climb 13 steps to the boardwalk and then 13 steps down and about 72 steps to the chairs. It is not handicap accessible. Luckily, the city of Ft Walton furnishes sand wheelchairs for free and we were able to get our handicapped person to the beach and back. Mind you, they are not motorized. The pool is and it was nice. There were 6 of us and we all agreed we would stay again, but if something is closer to beach would be better for us ageing ladies.

Upon arrival parking was a breeze. Spot in garage and labeled. Parking spot is close to the elevators. We loved the carts available to take your luggage/groceries to your condo. The lobby was always clean. Only one elevator worked during our trip but was too bad on waiting for the other one. The condo was clean and beautiful decor. Everything we needed for our stay. Lots of room and storage available for our family of 4. We cooked alot of meals and had everything we needed. Plenty of towels provided. The view of the beach was breathtaking! The beach was easy to get to and the gentleman that takes care of the beach chairs and umbrellas were very nice and informative! If I had to pick out negative things that could be different.... The washer was a bit loud (maybe wanna check it out) and the rug in the living room could be replaced or deep cleaned (looked a bit dinghy/dirty) and could use like a broom or some cleaning items to pick up during our stay. But these negative things wouldn't deter me from booking again! We loved our stay here! If you're looking just book it. It's beautiful!

Excellent Condo and Stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had the best vacation at our favorite place! Okaloosa Island never disappoints, and neither did this condo and rental company. Condo was clean and spacious and had everything we needed. We love that the beaches here aren’t crowded and are family friendly, but we are still a close drive to Destin for anything we might want to do there. Dan our beach attendant, was amazing. He took great care of us all week, was super friendly, and had the best restaurant recs! Stay at Gulf Dune and book with Brooks and Shorey, you won’t regret it!

Beautiful views , but condo very worn, needs some TLC.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at Ft.Walton beach yearly for 9 years, love the location and beaches. This condo has definitely been used , the unit shows a lot of wear and tear. Scuffs on walls, cabinets in kitchen paint peeling and broken knobs, the sliding glass doors to nice patio, very difficult to open, no handle, dirty door tracks. An air vent fell off wall in 3 rd bedroom in the middle of the night, it was not screwed to wall. All bathrooms outdated, the master shower is extremely small. There were extra pillows but no pillow cases, all linen very worn. Unit was clean but not spotless. Thankfully one of the pools was still heated as it got chilly the week of Oct 28th. Slightly disappointed in our condo, but still enjoyed the beach, and small businesses/restaurants of Ft. Walton.

Disappointed and frustrated

Condo was not clean.Lifted an accent rug and a PILE of sand fell out - not just a little. It had clearly not been lifted and vacuumed. Rubber mats in kitchen were nasty. Balcony not cleaned…trash, covered in sand and chairs/table not cleaned. After reporting the cleaning issues, they committed to send someone to clean but no one ever showed - all week. We ended up cleaning floor, counters etc ourselves. Freezer door wouldn’t shut. They had to bring in a 2nd fridge and placed in the dining room area for a couple days. Had to call for garbage disposal repair the first day. Finding all these issues, we were frustrated. Having to call, email, wait for repairmen to service items, asked for some type of credit several times and in writing. They completely ignored each request saying they were working on resolving the issues. These shouldn’t be issues for a well maintained condo. Being at the beach was wonderful but this condo unit had too many problems for us to deal with on vacation. Not to mention the money paid. We had to make the best of it so our vaca wasn’t ruined.
