"Lovely condo, terrible elevator
I would stay in this property again if the elevator is repaired or replaced. The elevator only came to the 5th floor twice during our stay when we were going down. "
Aug 26, 2024 - , ETHEL, LA



"Our Favorite place on the beach!!
Gulfside is our go to Condo!! We love the privacy of the beach, the location & the guys that are always so helpful with the setups of chairs & umbrellas!!
We've been coming to Gulfside for 23 years now. Don't always book same unit, but definitely always try to get this Condo"
Jun 01, 2024 - Laura A., Pinson, TN



"Girls Week Getaway a Success! We will return!
This property is very well maintained, clean, & comfortable. The description is accurate regarding the amenities and how easy it is to get to activities.

Daily, long walks on the beach were amazing. The Boardwalk at Okaloosa Island is about a 1.5 mile walk via the beach. A great way to start the day!

The kitchen was well stocked, there were plenty of clean bath towels available, plenty of hangers in the closets, as well as a hairdryer in each bathroom.

We will definitely use this same unit again when we return for another reunion. We loved it!

For future guests, just be aware this isn’t the type of rental that has spices & oils available for cooking. You need to purchase all of that as well as dishwasher & laundry soap if you plan on doing more than a load of each.

We were fortunate enough to meet the owner of the property and tell her in person how much we loved her place and how well she has kept it updated over the years.

Cheers to more years of staying on Okaloosa Island!

"A little piece of heaven
Your Guidebook is phenomenal. We got really amped up to read about what to expect inside, outside, gulfside, the weather, etc. Great info! Condo is very comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked. Living room is very comfortable & the view is spectacular"
Feb 02, 2024 - Terri & Vince H., Minneapolis, MN



"Gulfside 503
Always a pleasure to stay at Gulfside 503. The unit is comfortable, well appointed, and carefully maintained by the owner. "
Jan 16, 2024 - Paul K., Huntsville, AL



"Vacation 2023
We had a great experience. Loved the condo."
Oct 01, 2023 - Trudy S., Galatia, IL



"Overall enjoyed condo
Unit was nicely remodeled and equipped. We would consider location again . Siding glass door and handle needs some attention. Difficult to open and close. The beach service needs some coaching about customer service and who is the the customer. We raised our umbrella up about foot so we wouldn’t hit our head. The young man came over and told us his boss told him he had to lower the umbrella. What?"
Sep 29, 2023 - , Lizella, GA



"Vacation 23
Wonderful experience. Location was great, condo was beautiful, and the customer service was outstanding. Definitely returning if possible!"
Jun 27, 2023 - Tim G., Wartrace, TN



"Hoosier on the beach
503 was absolutely awesome. It’s the first rental that was the cleanest and best stocked! Heather left nothing to be cleaned. This person is an absolute pro at her job. Thank you heather!!! I wanted for nothing when it came to kitchen utensils and appliances!!! We had plenty of towels for our stay. The condo itself is perfect with upgrades wise choices for comfort and decor. We will definitely want this rental in the future. Brooks and Shorey are the best managers!!! They are always a delight to speak to and always on to of any issues. Thank you so much for our great relaxing time!!!"
May 09, 2023 - Laura L., Madison, IN



"Very nice condo
My first time staying at Gulf Side, this unit met my satisfaction. Kitchen was well equipped with everything you need, it was roomy enough for our family, clean and the views are great. "
Jul 31, 2022 - Mandy E., Concord, GA



"Always a Great Getaway
We've been staying at Gulfside for 20+ years. It's always relaxing and enjoyable. Love the ocean views, the rooftop pool, easy access to the beach and ratio of beach to occupant.
One issue we did have was another occupant in 103 smoking on the balcony. I'm not sure if that's allowed, but it limited our use of our balcony due to the smell. Also, one of the occupants of Dune Pointe on the first floor played loud music all day and into the night (past 11 p.m.) The pool filter wasn't running for some reason and the water needed it. A little buggy."
Jul 14, 2022 - Thomas B., ARNOLD, MO



"Gorgeous Stay
We absolutely loved our Gulfside rental. It felt so much like at home. Our view of the beach was absolutely amazing. "
Jul 13, 2022 - Michelle G., Warner Robins, GA



"Destin 22
Brooks and Shorey rental experience was really good. No problems, and everything was easy. The only issue was our check in time was delayed. "
Jul 10, 2022 - , Chesnee, SC



"Please just don't book our dates!
I hesitate to review this because I don't want to have a problem rebooking our next stay here. We LOVE this condo. We were there early/mid-May 2021 and 2022. This is a clean, updated, and nicely equipped oceanfront condo with views that can't be beat! I could just live on the balcony but the beach is easy access with two chairs and and umbrella ready for your lounging pleasure from about 9-4 each day. The longest part of your journey to the beach from the unit is getting down the five stories to the ground then a short boardwalk ushers you onto the sugar like sand for a total transit of 2-3 minutes tops. There are maybe 18 units in the whole building and so it has never felt crowded during our two stays here on the beach or in the elevator/stairs of the building. Book it but please just don't take our dates! "
May 16, 2022 - , Senoia, GA



"Perfect beach condo!
This is a beautiful beach front condo. I enjoyed every minute of our vacation here, and will definitely choose to stay here the next time we go to the beach. "
Nov 12, 2021 - Sandra P., Oakland, TN



"Amazing Trip
We had an unbelievable week in Fort Walton. The condo was amazing and Brooks and Shorey were on the ball, as usual. Thank you so much!!!!"
Oct 18, 2021 - Elizabeth O., Hernando, MS



"Repeat visitor
Always a favorite. "
Oct 15, 2021 - Tina P., Haughton, LA



"Beautiful
Easy and a beautiful place to stay! I would definitely return and rent the same place! Only problem was hurricane Ida felt the need to change out plans a bit! "
Sep 20, 2021 - Tracey B., Cardington, OH



"Gulfside 503
Best condo rental we have had! Clean, well decorated, roomy, great location, kitchen extremely well equipped for all cooking needs. Loved that the pool was on the roof! "
Aug 30, 2021 - , Montgomery, TX



"Okaloosa Charm
We found the unit very pleasing. It’s roomy, very well lit, bedding was clean and comfortable, and A/C was awesome! This was a very quiet location with beach front access and a roof top pool that provided more privacy than any other location around us. It provided us with an enjoyable vacation."
Aug 24, 2021 - , Lindley, NY



"Best place ever!!
Very spacious, clean, had a keurig coffee pot, very close to the beach, they could use more blankets, bathtubs could use some updating but all in all this place is our go to going forward. "
Jun 13, 2021 - Charrissa F., Youngsville, LA



"Our COVID Vay-Cay
Location great! Unit very spacious & comfortable. Loved the large, wrap-around balcony. Floors could have used a little more attention prior to our arrival. I understand it is hard to keep beach floors spotless, tho, but my socks were black. Internet service was interrupted daily. It was the whole building, not just our unit. But overall, we were very comfortable and satisfied. I would give it a 4 and will recommend this to someone who is interested next year."
Oct 25, 2020 - James Q., Fenton, MO



"LOVE IT!
I want to live there! It was PERFECT. "
Oct 05, 2020 - Brittany B., Olive hill, KY



"Perfect Size and Location
The corner unit was a great size for our family of four and we all felt we could find a quiet spot for ourselves when needed. Loved the location right on the beach so we could assess the crowds, if any. Also really loved the style and design - modern, updated and coastal. Only downside was it could have used a couple more runs with the vacuum and more detailed cleaning. There were several dust bunnies, a food wrapper under a bed and old crumbs in the kitchen. In the time of COVID, this made me thankful we brought some of our own cleaning supplies. "
Aug 01, 2020 - , Roswell, GA



"Ticks all the boxes
The condo was recently renovated apparently, and they did a great job. Very nice and comfortable.
Views from the large balcony of the ocean are just what I wanted, and the beach itself is relatively quite with the added bonus of chairs and umbrella provided. Everything else is a short drive away. We will definitely come back here to stay."
Jun 09, 2020 - Michael H., Smyrna, GA



"Another awesome vacation and my favorite location!
We have stayed at this condo on many occasions and in several different units. Unit 503 in Gulfside was newly remodeled and extremely nice. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!"
Sep 19, 2019 - Cynthia D., Avery Island, LA



"Gulfside 503
Very clean. Great location and breathtaking views. Enough space for two small families. Washer and dryer is a huge plus especially for people with kids. Overall loved the place."
Sep 04, 2019 - Suren A., Lake Charles, LA



"Lovely unit, incredible views + pool!
We loved our stay at Gulfside 503!! The unit was very pretty, worked perfect for our family, and the property was really nice as well! The view to the beach in incredible from the entire living area and balcony. You are super close to the beach and the rooftop pool is incredible! You will not be disappointed! "

"June family vacay
It was great. Destin was wonderful. Lots to do, beautiful beach, clear water, and great condo!"
Jul 28, 2019 - Megan E., Battle Creek, NE



"Another beautiful trip to Okaloosa
This is our third trip to Okaloosa and our second time staying in this condo. It was wonderful and hoping to make next summer our third stay there."
Jul 21, 2019 - , Allendale, IL



"Beach Vacation 2019
Very comfortable and spacious living and bedrooms. Very well decorated with matching colours and beach theme pattern throughout. The guest bath was twice as large as the master bath. Although the master bath was connected to a dressing room area with double sinks, the tub/shower combo was soo tight with the toilet in there too. But this really didn't affect my stay. My family will definitely consider this condo and location again later when we return to Ft. Walton."
Jul 02, 2019 - , Suches, GA



"Vacation
Will definitely be back! Loved the view! 1st time staying in a condo and we will never stay in a hotel again! "
May 31, 2019 - Lauren S., Jasper, AL



"Very disappointed.
The bathrooms were updated very nicely but the kitchen was in bad shape.
Cabinets were very old and falling apart . The kitchen dishes, cooking utensils, etc. were old and very used. I speak from experience because we had a rental on the beach and kept everything up to date. The worst thing was the weak WiFi
Signal. Had to stand by the back of the condo to maintain a signal."
Apr 14, 2019 - , New Orleans, Louisiana



"ANOTHER WONDERFUL STAY AT GULFSIDE
This is our third year in a row staying at Gulfside. 503 is fabulous unit! Always a treat. Ready for next year!"
Sep 13, 2018 - , Atlanta, GA



"Gulfside the prefect lil condo
This place is great. The condo is very nice. It has a great balcony with a perfect view of the gulf. The pool on the roof is great and relaxing. With 2 small condos on each side makes this a great place to stay. It’s not too crowded on the beach due to less people can stay at these three condos. "
Aug 16, 2018 - CARL J., SENATH, MO



"Perfect and simple getaway
Our room was ready a few hours early which was awesome! Staff was friendly and helpful. Clean and comfy. Kitchen was fully equipped. Rooms were big, and the beach was steps away. Chair attendant was great as well. I highly recommend. "
Aug 15, 2018 - , Decatur, AL



"Great vacation!
We had a great stay at Gulfside 503! Plan to return in the future."
Jul 29, 2018 - Lisa M., Faria, IL



"Vacation Paradise!
This was our first time staying in a 2 bedroom in Gulfside. We had our daughter and son-n-law with us for the first time, so it was 5 of us all together and it was wonderful. Plenty of room and it had all the cooking utensils and appliances that we needed. Loved the nice toaster over so we didn't have to heat up the big oven for little things. We will definetly be back. Thanks!"
Jul 03, 2018 - Dana K., Hendersonville, TN



"ahhhhmazing
Absolutely amazing! This condo was perfect! It was located right on the beach and close to anything we needed. It was super clean and comfy. We will be back!"

Great!"

"Gulfside 503
Great place to stay!!!"
May 19, 2018 - Tamara W., Quitman, AR



"Great location
If you want to sit on the patio and look directly at the beautiful sand and water then this place is perfect. On the positive side, it is roomy, clean, steps to the beach and included two chairs and an umbrella from the beach service. Communication was great from the rental company and we were very comfortable there. On the negative side, it’s older and could use some freshening up. Also didn’t like that we had to bring a hair dryer- seems like a basic item you shouldn’t have to use precious suitcase room for. I’m originally from this area and know that traffic can be challenging getting to restaurants and stores, but I would absolutely stay here again. It felt inviting and had a lot of space. Note: we didn’t really cook but there seemed to be all the essentials."
May 16, 2018 - , McKinney, TX



"Wonderful family vacation
Very pleased with the condo and location. Condo was spacious for this family of 4 and made you feel at home. Very nice decor and loved spending time on the large balcony with a view of the beach and Gulf. It was great to see the dolphins at play while enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning. Made a lot of great memories and cannot wait for our return trip!"
Apr 11, 2018 - Dawn M., Hudsonville, MI



"Home away from home
Always excellent service and property!"
Sep 21, 2017 - Paula D., HUNTSVILLE, AL



"Loved it!
This is the 2nd time we've stayed at Gulfside 503 and we cant say enough about it!! We love the corner view, the condo is huge and we can pack light because there is a washer / dryer. The rooms are big and the condo is beautiful. My 8 year old loves the rooftop pool and during the time when we vacation, there is usually no one there but us, so she thinks it's all hers! We love having chairs and an umbrella on the beach that come with the condo - it's so nice to not have to rush down in the morning to stake your claim like most places! This will probably not be the last time we stay here ;)"
Sep 19, 2017 - Kimberly W., Westerville, OH



"Amazing! Everything that we expected!
My family had the most amazing time. The condo was everything as promised and more. The condo pool we visited as much as the ocean. My kids loved it. Thank you for making our family vacation a memorable one!"
Aug 14, 2017 - Carlee N., Blackwell, MO



"Needs a face lift
This unit needs to be completely updated. The appliances need to be replaced too. I felt like I was living in 1989. The handle on the oven door came off when we opened it. Molding around a mirror in the bathroom had come off. Maintaince man taped in back up. Floor tile was worn out with holes and scuff marks. There wasn't any pride in the unit. Wouldn't stay there again and wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. "
Aug 11, 2017 - Kevin F., Cypress, TX



"Fun in the Sun
Overall, we were very pleased with the condo and would definitely return. We loved the size of the complex and the close proximity to the beach. "
Aug 05, 2017 - , Prosper, TX



"Loved It!
We loved the condo. There was plenty of kitchenware - plates, glasses, flatware, cookware, etc. We had everything we needed. The view was amazing and it was just a few steps to the beach."
Jul 25, 2017 - , Manchester, TN



"2017 florida trip
Loved our stay here. We've stayed at Gulfside for the past 12 years. And have stayed at unit 503 about 5 times. Everything is perfect there."

"Awesome Gulfside
Memorable"
Jun 16, 2017 - Akshay K., Huntsville, AL



"Great vacation
Everything was great! There was an article of clothing left in one of the bedrooms. Overall everything was clean. Parking is a little difficult to get in and out the tight fit, but we liked covered parking. "
Oct 28, 2016 - Jerri B., Glenwood, AR



"Our vaction
Rental needs a lot of updating.rails on balcony and patio doors need replaced or painted. Doors to building glass needed to be cleaned very dirty! Roof on patio needs painted. Location was awesome. Halved stayed at 3 other properties on island that were about the same price that were a lot better maintained"
Oct 04, 2016 - Vicky E., Hannibal, MO



"Gulfside - Hidden Jewel
Fant-a-bu-lous!
I will be completely honet tho-the unit photographs better than it is in person, although I would stay there again in a pinch. Missed having the master bedroom on the ocean side; kitchen tile was chipped and sofas had some unsightly stains. The unit is well laid out otherwise tho and management was amazingly prompt when the iron didn't work and the toilets wouldn't flush--fixed within minutes, seriously! The pool on the roof--awesome! "
Jul 14, 2016 - , Marietta, GA



"Perfect view
We love this unit. It is evident the owners take excellent care and keep it updated. It was spotless upon arrival and plenty of towels for 2 people for a week. The view from the balcony is unbelievable. Beach service is a great bonus. The team at Brooks and Shorey are the best of all the companies we have used. We will stick with them for return visits. "

"Gulfside 503
We chose Gulfside to stay at this year because we We Had stayed there before and loved it! Nothing bad to say about it, all good. Right on the beach, private rooftop pool with awesome view. Room,building,pool, and grounds all kept clean. We will return! "
Jul 10, 2015 - , Conway, AR



"Great stay as always
2nd year in a row to stay in the same condo..love the homey feel you have.. Our son has requested a different condo next year, says he wants to try something different, but we will definitely be using Brooks and Shorey Resirts again...making our 4 year vacation easy.."
Jun 30, 2015 - Mark M., Bethany, Ok



"Great Stay
This was a great condo. Right on the beach with a perfect view - we saw dolphins swimming by twice. The people at Brooks and Shorey were VERY accommodating and helpful. I would highly recommend booking through Brooks and Shoprey (my family has been using them for nearly 20 years) and staying in Gulfside unit 503. "

"nice time had by all
nice weather for a change"
Apr 18, 2015 - Theresa P., Buford, GA



"Great stay!
The condo building was in a perfect location , beach was steps away and you don't have to go walk far to be at the beach and with the umbrella and beach chairs set up all you need to bring is yourself and sunscreen . The only problem I had though is the wifi which was too slow. But overall our stay was great! Also the extra bathroom did not have a shower that was working just a bath tub."
Apr 11, 2015 - , louisville, kentucky



"Thanksgiving Vacation
This condo has a nice view of the beach and water...that is all this condo has going for it.The kitchen cabinets are very nasty and need to be cleaned. The master bath tub area is a joke. Linens were old and the pictures look good but the bowling alley all was rediculous.The supplies was nill to nothing...and the garbage trash compactor was just gross. This condo is NOT worth the price we paid. I could go on and on but what does it matter."

"May vacation
terrific"
Dec 20, 2014 - Rita B., Phoenix, AZ



"Oct 7 - 11
Great view. Well supplied kitchen.
Quiet a few light switches didn't work--don't know what that is about.
Main negative was finding dirty dishes in the cupboards - wine glasses with red wine stuck in the bottom, coffee pot with coffee still in carafe and tea pitcher still with wet tea. Made me wonder what other things I could not see, that was unclean. "
Oct 13, 2014 - , Collierville, TN



"gulfside 503
we had a great time. the view was just wonderful. we spend most of our time on the beach but having the pool on top of the building was just like being at the beach. we really loved the pool."

"GREAT CONDO!!
Absolutely loved this condo - plenty of room for 2 adults and 3 kids. Very quiet and private. Beautiful view. I pray we will be able to come back one day!!"
Aug 01, 2014 - Heather L., Adamsville, AL



"Another Great Vacation!
Great complex and wonderful unit! The only complaint is one that occurs each year - the beach service attendants start taking up the chairs and umbrellas every day at 3:00 pm!! Since they only set up at 8:00 am, it seems that they should leave the set ups until at least 5:00 pm. "

"503 Gulf Side Corley Family
We had a great time at this location. We have stayed at different condos at Gulf Side over the years and 503 was by far the best. We will definitely book this one again next year! "

"1st Florida Beach Trip
For our first Florida beach vacation we could have not been more happy with our choice of condo. We stayed in 503 and felt right at home.
Condo was clean, comfortable and had everything in the kitchen we needed. Our kids thought swimming in the rooftop pool was the coolest ever. The guys with the beach service were very accommodating. We will most definitely be back."

"GREAT VACATION RENTAL
Our family had a wonderful time at the oceanfront condo! We had everything we needed inside the condo and loved the views from the deck! Hoping to return next year!"

Will continue to stay here!"

"Fall Vacation
Going during the off season is fun for our family because the beaches are rather empty and none of us like to swim that much, anyway. The property was great and had a great view. The furniture (bed frames) may use a few replacements here and there, but it was overall clean. The bathrooms have very low sinks and toilets, for some reason. The rooftop pool is great, but the outside breezeways on each floor between the doors and the elevator get sandy/wet really easily and you will track all the dirt/water/sand into the condo. Would recommend flipflops for walking around indoors.

Lovely stay!"

"Gulfside rentals
We enjoy Gulfside in general because of the nice size of the condo, the fact that there are fewer people on the beach because of fewer condos in the building, and because of the great pool on the roof. This particular rental had newer furniture and was pretty nice. The views from the porch are always great. "

"wonderful place to stay!
This was a wonderful place to stay. Well decorated. This area had a great family atmosphere. We plan on staying here again soon."

"Great location but some issues
We had a great time on our first family trip to destin however there were several pros and one big con to this property. Location was great,access to the beach could not of been better. With two very small kiddos it was so nice to have beach chairs and umbrella set up each day. Beaches were beautiful and never crowded. It was great to sit out on porch each evening and enjoy site and sounds of the ocean. The roof top pool was fantastic as well. The biggest disappointment to the property was how dirty it was upon arrival. Floors were horribly dirty, all "clean" sheets to all beds had to be changed due to hair and dirt. Bathrooms were a site as well. We really are not "that family" that complains about things, actually we are very laid back about things but this was not acceptable. We needed up cleaning the property ourselves upon arrival. We contacted the management company upon leaving just to let the owners know that they may need to find a new cleaning service. If this issue has been resolved we would return. "

"Gulfside 503
Great location and view. Building shows a little wear. Plumbing and electrical fixtures could use some updating. Love the pool on the roof. I would stay here again."
Aug 05, 2013 - Tim B., Saint Louis, MO



"Fort Walton
Nice Beach Front Condo. Just be aware if you drive a large truck parking can be an issue. But after speaking with Management parking is allowed at the Condos next door. VERY CLOSE and not an issue at all."

"summer vacation
A wonderful time on a beautiful beach! The weather ALMOST cooperated the whole week. Gulfside is our home away from home. It is just as comfortable, clean, and is right on the beach!"
Jul 30, 2013 - Amanda W., Columbus, Ga



"Looking for Relaxation !
This is our 4th stay at this condo. We love it - very relaxing and quiet! Dolphins in the morning. It's right on the beach. Umbrella and chairs included (I burn so this is great!) Beach is not crowded. The condo is clean and has plenty of cooking utensils - if you eat in. We'll be back next year for sure ! "

"April at the Beach
We had a great time - even on the two rainy days. Great balcony. We also loved the pool on the roof - it was like being on a cruise ship."

Great management company personnel."

"Great place!
Terrific balcony and view. If we weren't on the beach or at the pool, we lived on the balcony. We used it so much, the handle came loose. Brooks and Shorey had it fixed in no time. The folks in the office and the repairman were super friendly and efficient. We can't wait to go back!"

"Beach vacation
Great trip! Super location. Parking in a large suv a little difficult. Everything in the condo worked as it should. Clean but not spotless. Tv's are very nice. We will
Stay here again. Very good company to work with. This was our first trip to this area. Once again, great place for our family. "

"Ocean Easy
We loved most of the experience but as a visitor the one thing we would have enjoyed is the local aumbiance that can only be recomemded by locals maybe a few discounts offered . Overall we could not have a better result. Thanks so much for the much need R&R"

"Easter weekend @ Gulfside
Our family have been staying at gulfside a couple of other times and we have always had a good experience. I would say that unit 503 has been our best unit so far. I was disappointed though with the lack of wifi availability from our room. To get wifi, I had to connect with other public locations that were not secured and weak signal. I highly recommend wifi for the unit. For a family that has kids with their ipod touch, ipads and lap tops wifi is a must! "

"Beautiful beaches
Beautiful white sand beaches that were kept VERY clean. A slightly older building but was tastefully decorated and with lots of room. Loved the balcony and loved the rooftop pool. Would come back again."

"Great Time
We stayed five nights at this condo and enjoyed everything about it. The view from the wrap-around balcony was awesome, easy access to the beach, very clean and loved the layout of the rooms and had everything we needed. Loved the pool on the roof. The
property management company was very good to work with. Look forward to staying there again.

"My daughters wedding at Ft Walton Beach..
We really were lucky to get the condo at the Gulfside. It was perfect!! Having 503 made our stay so special. The last time I had taken my Mom to the beach we had stayed in that unit...that was her last trip to be made on this earth to the beach. We felt like she was right there with us. Also, our condo was the perfect one for my husband to walk my daughter out to meet her future husband, with it being a corner unit, and I honestly believe that the Gulf side has the perfect area on the beach for a wedding. It has so much space and the least amount of people to uproot. All in all I have to give this stay a 100. Brooks and Shorey were fantastic to work thru in setting this up. We have never enjoyed our stay more!!! Thank u Brooks and Shorey for all your hard work!! Sincerely the Lewis Family."

"AWESOME!
This was the second time we have stayed at Gulfside 503. It has an excellent view of the Gulf from the balcony. The condo has very easy access to the beach as well. The condo was very clean, spacious and has everything a family could want. I would rent it again!!!"

"Wonderful!!!
My Mom, husband, and I visited your wonderful condo on Memorial Day weekend, 2011. We had the BEST time!!!! The view is amazing...Nothing beats the corner balcony - Except maybe your awesome rooftop pool! I got some wonderful photos which I plan to share on your B & S facebook page. The beach was just perfect. We want to come back again, and hope to very soon. Thank-you so very much! I have never stayed in a condo that nice!!! "
Jun 01, 2011 - Lauren S., Tallahassee, FL



"
The condo was great, the view excellent!! The only issue that we had was the movie rental place was down at the end of the street in front of Fudpuckers, normally movies would not have been an issue but both of my children got too much sun and were in the room one day. Another was that I had paid for two additional chairs on the beach and had to take two from a nearby umbrella to be haggled by the sub guy that afternoon. All in all I would definitely stay at this condo again!! "
May 25, 2011 - , Henderson, TN



"
We really enjoyed our stay. The condo was everything we had hoped it would be. The area was wonderful and everything is so close. We will be back. I do offer one suggestion: that there were no cleaning supplied in the condo. I purchased windex and clorox spray and lysol wipes for general everyday cleaning. There was a large vacumn but a small hard floor vacumn and a decent mop would have been nice. When I stay in someone elses home I want to treat it as my own and general housekeeping is important over the course of a week.
Thanks for the great vacation.

"Great vacation for first time at Ft. Walton Beach,
Loved being beachside of course but there were no shops or restaurants in reasonable walking distance of the condo. We really have no complaints but if there were any, that would be it. Loved the condo and its size. Also loved the fact that we didnt have to pay for beach chairs and umbrella. Have always had to pay for them before if we used them at other condos. "

"
Please do not post this comment. There were a few problems. The garbage disposal and dish washer smelled like a dead rat. Dishes in the cabinets were dirty with food and bugs. I had to wash all dishes before we used them. Someone came to fix the garbage disposal but the smell was still there. Besides that, I liked the condo and LOVED the pool on the roof. I usually stay at the Summerlin but will change to Dune Point for the pool location. Hopefully, the issues we had was not the norm for Dune Point. "

Gulfside 503 is a nice condo. On my next trip to the area I will be shopping for a condo with the master bedroom opening up to the beach."
