"Perfect family vacation spot and super clean
This is the perfect family vacation spot. We had 6 people and it was perfect. Each room having its own bathroom was perfect. This unit was so clean I didn’t have to clean anything on my own, as I am very picky. The pier was under a mile walk to. We took Uber there for dinner then walked back home every night. Plenty of kitchen items to cook, which we cooked every breakfast and lunch there.
We had the absolute best time! You get two chairs if you want right out front. You can pay extra for more if you need them. Get out early to save your spot with a towel. You can pay extra to use the paddle board they have too. Best ever place to eat right across the street too. Wow it was good! Stewbys!!
Really, I did a ton of research before renting this place and I’m so happy I did. So I hope I’ll save you some time... rent this one. "

"Gufl Dunes 401
The condo was well furnished and appointed. it was clean and comfortable. We would stay there again. "

"Perfect
I've used Brooks and Shorey for many years and have rented in Gulf Dunes through them many times. The units are always clean and well-maintained. 401 was the first time I've had a corner unit and the extra windows and views were spectacular.
The only complaint I have is the ramp leading down to the beach. My main reason for renting at Gulf Dunes is for the ramp because my elderly mom has trouble with stairs. There is a huge step down from the end of the ramp onto the beach. I watched a lot of people have trouble navigating the huge step from my balcony. Please fix this for your guests with mobility issues. "

"Another wonderful Stay
We have rented through brooks and shorey for over 10 years and they make it so easy and this year the condo we rented was beautiful and perfect for our girls trip "
Aug 29, 2023 - Stacee P., West Plains, MO
"Great location
The unit was a great corner unit. Parking garage was perfect with assigned spaces, however we had two vehicles and had asked for a second pass to park outside. Did not get one and didn't want to waste time looking for the main office so took our chances. The day before we left my dauggters car had a note left on it, so we flipped it over and gave our unit number and that we were leaving the next morning. Would definitely recommend staying here again. Also, if beach chairs come with your unit, be sure to take lots of cash to give the attendant if you want on the front row."

Excellent property. Extremely clean with nice linens. Loved being the corner unit. Would definitely book again."

"Corner Unit with Beautiful views all around!
Unit was clean and mostly well equipped, would have been nice to have extra pillows for the pull out couch and Tupperware for leftovers along with some plastic cups for kids. Otherwise everything was perfect with the unit."

"Fantastic Trip
We had a wonderful time staying at Gulf Dunes 401. 3 bedrooms and 3 baths gave us plenty of room to spread out and have our own space. The condo was beautifully decorated and well appointed. The views were amazing, and Fort Walton Beach just feels like home. Brooks and Shorey, as always, is the easiest, friendliest, company to work with. We cannot wait for next year!"

"FALL GULF DUNES STAY
WE HAVE STAYED AT GULF DUNES MULTIPLE TIMES AND THIS RENTAL IS BY FAR THE MOST CLEAN AND WELL DESIGNED PROPERTY WE HAVE STAY IN. GREAT LOCATION TO MANY SURROUNDING SHOPS AND RESTAURANTS. THE UNIT WAS SPACIOUS, NICELY DECORATED AND WELL CLEANED UPON OUR ARRIVAL. WE WILL DEFINITELY STAY HERE AGAIN. "

"Perfect location for a relaxing week on the beach
Everything was just as described and the detailed emails had us well prepared for our arrival. The digital code and the Hospitality App made check in a breeze. The unit was clean and well maintained. The condo was stocked with plenty of towels, linens, dishes, and other kitchen essentials. The complimentary chairs and umbrella on the beach made setting up our spot for the day effortless. We will definitely be booking our next family vacation with Brooks and Shorey! "

This condo was beautiful and fit our family of 5 perfectly with a bathroom connected to each room. The chair service on the beach was an added bonus. I will definitely stay here again. Convenient to restaurants, beach stores and grocery stores that you can even walk to. "

"Family fun on the Emerald Coast
Several condos for different families in one building; made the perfect scenario for a family vacation during Covid. We enjoyed sunrises and sunsets, lots of time on the beach. Condo was clean when I arrived, no real hiccups during our vacation which was a pleasant surprise. "

"Gulf Dunes is always a great stay!
My family and I have rented this unit 3 times over the past 5 years. We always like coming back to the same unit so we know exactly what to expect. It's always well stocked and the location can't be beat. However, the owner should do some light maintenance to the unit to make it tip top again. Several light bulbs were out, the dining room table was very unstable, some of the doors/kitchen cabinets were very sticky. Normal wear and tear of a rental but overall it was a great stay! The property management was always very responsive to our questions too."
Aug 02, 2021 - Dayna G., Midland, GA
"Tremendous stay
This property and the management from Brooks and Shorey was simply outstanding! We will absolutely work with them again on future stays - ideally in this same unit 401.
Sometimes online reviews are fluffed up a bit, however this is legitimately five stars out of five!"

Great stay at Gulf Dunes. First time at this resort and we were very happy with location, views from balcony and reasonable cost.

"Excellent vacation on the beach
We spent 5 days in this Condo and it was exactly as we expected. The apartment was very nice clean and in good shape.
We loved the view from the balcony and have ready the umbrella and chairs on the beach. Also the unit has 2 additional beach chairs that we could use.
The only minor things that I will recommend from improvement are: the internet connection was not good and in our case was important as some of the family members gas to work some hours during the stay. Also, I would recommend fix one of the blinders of the living room and the storage bin from the fridge that was broken before we arrived . Still these things were minor and I would recommend this place to anyone .

We have been coming here the last 4 years for our beach family vacation. We love the location and it’s not crowded. We had a great time! "

"Gulf Dunes 401
The beds were not that comfortable and the living room furniture could have been updated. We did have a bad experience with the female who was responsible for the beach chairs. She was very hateful when she made us just use two chairs instead of the three we were using. It was during the week and and there was hardly ANY ONE using them. It seems like you would want it to look like your condos were being rented. We did not have any trouble with the gentleman who was responsible for the chairs the other times of the week. However, we had a grand week and the balcony furniture was very comfortable and a great view. Coffee in the morning on the balcony rocks. Thank you for a great week. "

"great family week
The Whole Family was there for the week and it was super. The weather was wonderful, the water was clear and every body got along. the Gulf Dunes property was excellent and I would recommend it to anyone. I have stayed at several other locations from Brooks and Shorey and they were all good places to stay. CAN'T WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN!!"

"Beachfront Getaway
This rental is a spacious corner unit. The views of the Gulf of Mexico from the balcony are breathtaking. You can usually see dolphins in the early mornings. This unit was very clean. It has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Shopping and restaurants are close - some within walking distance. "

"Beautiful Property
Stayed a full week in this 4th floor condo. Beautiful view! Property was clean and well maintained. The Sea Blaster Water adventure was out of this world for kids learning to snorkel. The only complaints were - no shampoo or conditioner anywhere and if it rains, the balcony has no drainage. The water puddles a few inches deep. Still an amazing property and we will return! "

Great week at the beach despite Tropical Storm Alberto early in the week. Unit 401 was fantastic and in the best shape we have ever seen it or any of the other condo we have rented over the past 10 or so years.
To Marianne and the rest of the staff at Brooks and Shorey, thank you for your work in ensuring every detail was covered to help make our vacation one of the most memorable!"

"First time visit
This was our first trip to the Ft. Walton Beach area. This rental was in a great location. Beach access and proximity was our main focus and we got both. The unit was clean and spacious. Eight of us stayed here and we were all comfortable. Each bedroom had its own full bathroom, which was fully stocked. We spent most of our time on the patio, which was beach facing. There were tables and chairs provided on the patio. Each morning we'd go out there to enjoy coffee, watch the boats go by, and see all the beach activity. Every now and then we'd see dolphins swimming around in the gulf. This unit far exceeded our expectations. It was our home away from home. Can't wait to go back. We will definitely stay in this condo again."

"July 1-8 Fort Walton Gulf Dunes
My family and my neighbor's family were in town for a National Dance Competition for our daughters. We had four adults, two teenagers and one ten year old child. Condo was very clean and easily spacious enough for the seven of us. The view is spectacular. The unit itself and the property overall are well maintained. Staff is very friendly. The only two real downsides were that the pool was small (but we did not choose this condo for the pool). We are non-smokers and the unit was clearly a non-smoking unit and smelled fresh. However, this unit and most (if not all) other condo units in this project allow renters to smoke on the porch. When your neighbors are smoking on their porch and you want to eat or drink and enjoy the view outside on your porch you are subject to the odor and smoke of the smoking neighbors. But to be fair this is common in all the condo projects on not just Gulf Dunes. All in all it was a great stay and I would recommend it to others."

It was a memorable long weekend family get together. The condo was comfortably spacious and clean. The ocean beach view from the balcony was simply heaven. We all wished we had been able to stay longer. The phone app was informative and user friendly. This place is definitely on our minds to make a recurring experience. Thanks. "

"5 Stars
This was the best experience! The reservation was immediately responded to, and the condo was exactly like the photos. Clean, well furnished, comfortable, and the beach views from both the living room and master bedroom were beautiful. This unit is on the fourth floor with an elevator. Rolling carts are available to bring your luggage up easily. We used the movie rental service downstairs (free). These units are well taken care of and it was our pleasure to stay here. We will be back! Thanks. "

"Beautiful view of the ocean!!!
We were not able to take advantage of the closeness of the Ocean being as it was too cold. However, the Condo was exceptional. Everything was well maintained and in working condition. The front staff was extremely helpful as 1 day the Internet stopped working and my daughter had an assignment due. The manager quickly came to the room and fixed the issue. This will be the only place I stay in Fort Walton Beach, if available!!!!"

"Great Unit
Pictures actually don't do justice. Condo was very spacious, clean and comfortable. Kitchen had every item you could think of including Kuerig and crock pot. Furnishings were nice. Master was huge. Great view, end unit with covered parking space. The only negative is that even though there are 2, the pool is extremely small. We loved this unit and will book it again."

"Wonderful Vacation
We had a great time and enjoyed the Gulf Dunes. The property was very good and the unit we stayed in was well equipped with cooking utensils and towels, a few more blankets could have been used but that is just some people are colder than others. The front bedroom with the full size bed was not very cool compared to the rest of the unit. For the people sleeping in this room the others had to be cold for them to be comfortable. Otherwise a good experience overall. "

This is the first time our family has come this late in the year and we loved the whole experience. The weather was great and the water beautiful!
