A five star vacation experience with a beach side balcony, except for the sofa. It was noisy and worn to the point that you could only sit on certain places.

Fantastic place to stay for a week, weekend. Definitely will be booking here again. Only annoying thing was that the wifi would not stay connected and we had to unplug it twice a day.

We just stayed at Gulf Dunes #514 again this year. We've rented this unit several times. You have to book it well in advance, otherwise you may not get the dates you want. It is always clean and well maintained. The location is great. There are so many restaurants nearby so you don't have to cross over into the Destin chaos unless you just want to. I wish they did not allow smoking on the balconies though because invariably, we get a chain smoker beside us, below us or nearby which makes it difficult to enjoy sitting out on the balcony. That is our only complaint. I'm not sure if they have rules against smoking on the balconies but if they do, they are not enforced. Of course the rental agency has no control over this nor is this a reflection on the unit itself but it is annoying for vacationers that want to sit on the balcony and enjoy the beautiful view of the ocean right in front of you.

This condo has everything you could need for a beach trip! If you like to cook instead of going out everynight it has all the utensels, pans and bowls you could need. Not just a spatula, 1 knife and a large spoon. Plenty of towels and wash cloths. The two free beach chairs are just amazing to have. All you have to do is pack a cooler and sunscreen and go. Let me say the the pictures of the view are why we chose this condo and they do not do it justice! You can sit on that private balcony and just stare at it forever. They customer service is amazing as well. We made a complete "duh" move after checking out and Jessica and MaryAnn were nothing less than amazing when helping us out! We highly recommend this company and condo!

Biggest issue was that the wi-fi was out for several days but TV still worked...good thing we had unlimited data!Condo overall was good although not stocked with items most others are such as salt and pepper....we were prepared as emails notified of this. However, it would have been better if we did t have to drag these items along on vacation! Location was amazing! Condo was cleaner than others we’ve stayed at and that was important. Everything was as expected. Good value for the price for spring break.

Wonderful rental unit. Had everything we needed. Adequately stocked kitchen. Loved the balcony furniture. We spend the vast majority of our time on the balcony, so having quality furnishings is a big deal to us.The agency communication was excellent. We will definitely rent from Brooks and Shorey again.

The view is amazing to wake up to every morning. We loved that the condo provides free chair and umbrella service. We never had a problem getting one, even in the afternoon. The condo itself was probably the cleanest one we have ever stayed in. The condo entry and bedroom are right by the elevator so it was very convenient. Much to my surprise however, we never heard it at night while sleeping. The couch is not very comfortable to relax on after a hard day at the beach (haha) but it works. Check in was ready by 4 and checkout was easy through the app. We didn't have any issues while we were there, with the exception of the wifi being cutoff the night before we checked out. That might be an issue if you have kids using a lot of screen time. We ate several times at the Boardwalk. The Crab Trap and Floyd's were good. Old Bay Steamers (just down the street) was our favorite. Make sure you get the crab stuffed mushrooms! They have excellent service. We also went to the Air Force Museum, it really makes you appreciate (even more)the jets flying over daily. We never tired of seeing that! We would definitely recommend this condo and Brooks and Shorey.

My husband and I enjoyed our week-long stay. We have stayed at Gulf Dunes before and, once again, we were happy with the complex and its location on the beach. This condo has two full bathrooms, which makes getting ready so much easier. The balcony is far away enough from the pool that the pool activities aren’t an issue. Stewby’s location right across the street was another bonus! Our only negative would be the lack of blackout curtains in the bedroom. We created our own with a blanket, but it would be nice if the condo made that small change. Otherwise, great location, clean and nice condo, and quick, friendly help from the staff. We would definitely rent this condo again if traveling as only a couple.

This is the best rental for a 1 bedroom we have had in 6 years of renting at Okaloosa Island! Clearly the owners understand what people want in a rental. Great location, well stocked kitchen, great outdoor furniture and comfortable living area! You can’t go wrong with this unit !

Our unit was exactly or maybe better than the pictures. Very clean, quiet, nicely updated, well equipped kitchen and location was great! Within walking distance of several restaurants and fishing pier. The only thing that could have made it better would be some blackout curtains in the bedroom due to the light located outside of the bedroom window. We would definitely rent this unit again!!

The view was wonderful and overall, a great experience!
However, I must be too fussy about cleanliness. I refused to clean everything I wanted to since we had to pay for cleaning. There was mold around both shower drains and the base of the toilets were not clean. We stayed a month and so I did vacuum and mop several times. The first time I mopped, there was large wads of long black hair on the tile. If this were my unit, I would have a discussion with whomever I pay to clean about these things. The unit was remodeled nicely and it worked out well for us. The sofa pullout was very uncomfortable, but was only used a few times.

This condo was just perfect! The view from the balcony was one of the best we’ve experienced. The condo was CLEAN, and stocked with everything you need…There were plenty of towels, hooks for hanging things, and I loved that there was a set of plastic dinnerware (plates/cups/bowls just for the kids). I don’t normally like carpet in a condo at the beach, but the carpet in the bedroom was really nice. The communication from Brooks & Shorey was excellent from the moment I clicked “Book Now”. Don’t hesitate to rent this property! Five star experience from beginning to end!
