Review Date: October 10, 2022

Vacation Date: October 1, 2022

"We have booked through Brookes and Shorey in the past and have never had any major issues. This property was well maintained and in a great location. The only complaint I have was it was not the most spotless unit we have stayed in. I believe they were running behind that day on cleaning as we were not able to check in right at 4 . The floors were wet when we arrived, but they were very dirty. All of our feet were black and my sons legs and arms were black form playing with his toys on the floor so I believe they just did a spot job with water. We wore shoes inside all week and everything was fine other than that.

"As always, the process with B&S was smooth and super easy from booking to check-out. The condo was as pictured, beds were comfortable, decor tasteful, and kitchen was better equipped than most we have stayed at so far. Plenty of room plus some for our family of 3. Appreciated the over-sized showers. Very close to the elevators and very short walk to the pool and beach access. Our only complaint would be the cleanliness - which is out of character for B&S - it seems the floors were completely forgotten: sand (and lots of it!) everywhere and sticky spots throughout the condo floor, along with the master bath countertop. The condo otherwise was clean and well-maintained. The property had employees cleaning the pool, walkways, trash, etc daily. Overall, we would return!

"A lot to like, especially the location and floor plan. We also liked the covered parking space and being on the 5th floor. We would request replacing the king bed mattress and updating the furniture in the living room. The latter is more for comfort than for looks, but a new look would also be good. Also, the dishwasher never worked while we were there. Finally, a metal pizza pan would be a nice addition.

"Pros: Great location and a beautiful view! My husband enjoyed the golf. Well stocked kitchen and plenty of towels. Cons:The baseboards in the master bath were dirty. There were no locks on the sliding doors to balcony so they had dowel sticks in the slots. The door to the Master is like a swinging saloon door. Not an issue for us bc ended up just the 2 of us, but if you wanted privacy that would be a problem. Overall a great week but not sure I would stay in this one again.

Well we are disappointed to hear you would not stay in this lovely unit again. Being directly on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico, the salt water is constantly wearing down everything it gets to..balcony doors and door locks need repairs often, the dowel sticks in the doors allow the guests of this condo to be safely tucked in every night! Yes this condo does have the saloon type door on the master, items such as this vary in the condos, we do have the pictures showing everything though in hopes that our guests see every detail of the condo they are planning to rent.

"We enjoyed our stay at Gulf Dunes 504. The condo his exactly as pictures with close access to the beach. The weather(colder and windy) cooperated about half the time but since the pool was heated the kids were able to swim. Gulf Dunes has two buildings and as you face the buildings from the road the one we stayed in on the left had a heated pool and the one on right was not. A couple things I would encourage ownership to do is to maintenance the sliding doors from the living room, the kids were not strong enough to open since it was too hard to slid. Also the bunkbeds were real squeaky, if the person on top(child) would move at night it would wake the other person up. Other than that everything was in great shape with no visible wear. I would definitely rent again.

Vacation 2017, Okaloosa Island

Review Date: June 19, 2017

Vacation Date: June 10, 2017

"Our first of many family vacations! We had not been to this area before and was a little apprehensive in committing to a rental strictly over the internet but the ladies at Brooks and Shorey made the process so easy and made me feel confident in moving forward. The unit was great, had everything we needed and high enough to get the view we were wanting....water! We loved the pool and easy access to beach. We were out every day to setup sun or shine and no one bothered our things! The kids had a lot of fun and we met several nice families. My only suggestion to owners would be to add blinds in second bedroom and have dryer vent professionally cleaned, took a long time for things to dry and maybe a couple of standard height chairs in patio...the high chairs were not comfortable only because I had my knees replaced. I would HIGHLY recommend the Gulf Dunes and unit 594!

"We have stayed at many units over the years at Gulf Dunes Condo. Unit 504 is by far the nicest we have been in. Everything was clean and orderly and the unit was well furnished.

"We have stayed at Gulf Dunes for 6 years now and this unit was definitely one of the nicest properties in the complex. Brooks and Shorey management staff was excellent and very accommodating of our needs. We will definitely stay here again. The only negative was that the king bed mattress in the master bedroom was very hard and not comfortable to our taste.

"This condo is excellent! Great location and the beach access was very good. The condo was very nice. The only problem we had was the refrigerator. It leaked water from the freezer to inside the icebox. Marianne with Brooks and Shorey was great to work with. Overall, very satisfied. We will definitely rent again. Okaloosa Island is the best!! Thanks for everything!!

"I've stayed in another unit in the other GD building so very familiar with this location. It sits on the beach with easy access. Its walking distance from a few tourist & surf shops, a mile or so drive over the bridge to Pubix for grocery shopping, and a few miles from Destin.

This was a nice condo overall and we really enjoyed ourselves. The only cons I have (if you can call them that) are the bathrooms are a little dated & a couple of the kitchen appliances are getting old. The fridge did leak a little but we kept a towel underneath it.

The Brooks & Shorey staff over the phone were great & also fantastic there. The guy that sets up the umbrellas and chairs on the beach is great also.

Gulf Dunes Experience

Review Date: April 14, 2008

Vacation Date: August 4, 2007

"The overall stay at this location was good. The only complaint about the unit was that the mattresses on the bunk beds were hard. The real estate company, Brooks & Shorey did not disclose over the phone during the reservation process that we would be charged the full amount of the weekly stay on our credit card prior to arrival, which was unprofessional. I was also told by the manager that just about all of the companies are now doing this. However, upon checking myself personally with 8 other well known realtors, this is not true. So, I will probably not use Brooks & Shorey again as a vacation rental company.
