We had a great trip "

"Sun Dweller
Perfect view and condo spotless. Only issues were the ice maker not working even after having maintenance work on it. Had to big bags of ice for the week. Couch cushions could use filling. Hannah was a great help and very kind. Young man at the beach service was great too. "

"Surf Dweller 208 getaway
The condo was just as described. Beds were comfortable, condo was clean with everything needed, and oceanfront view was wonderful. The living room furniture is beginning to show some wear, but that is to be expected with a rental. The beach was not crowded, and having the chairs/umbrella provided was a plus. The rental company was very nice, quick to respond, and provided all the information needed. We were also able to check in 2 hours early. Will definitely return."

"Great view. So close to the beach
We loved the large balcony where we relaxed and enjoyed the Gulf views. The property and unit were very clean. The photos of the unit were accurate. The condo had large rooms. We’ve stayed at many properties along Fort Walton Beach and this condo had the largest rooms. We will definitely stay here again "

"Spring Break 2023
This was a family vacation and we had loads of fun. The property is located on the beach and the full balcony was terrific for meals, games and the search for dolphins! The kitchen had what we needed to cook for the week. It wasn't noisy and no issues during our stay."

"Best vacation ever
We drove from Iowa with a great friend and stayed at Surf Dweller condos. Great location. The beds are amazing. Location was perfect. We will definitely be staying here again.
We did arrive early on check in day and unfortunately did not get to checkin until 4 that afternoon. We were aware of their 4:00pm policy but was hopeful. "

"Great place- definitely recommend!
The booking, location, facility and communication were all very easy. The app they provide has all the information you will need. My communication with the office before and during our stay was responded to quickly and professionally. The condo was clean and spacious, as pictured on the site. All of that aside the view from this place is perfect. We were lucky enough to be there when there was a lot of activity in the ocean (dolphins, birds and rays) and we could sit and watch it all! If we come back to this area we would definitely try to book this place again!"

This was my 5th visit to Ft Walton and this condo was the perfect fit for us. We had 3 little ones so I wanted a kid friendly condo and this one fit us perfect. The Ease of going down to the beach and the kiddy pool PERFECT! The beds were very comfortable, loved the view. Looking forward to next years vaca with extended family here again."

The condo was magnificent and the location and view was amazing. We will definitely be back. One slight issue was poor wifi and slow internet the first half of the stay. Some of it was weather related but eventually they got it fixed."

"Great place to stay
Beautiful unit with a great view of the gulf. There were 4 adults staying in the unit and there was plenty of room for all of us. The unit was clean & well equipped with kitchen items, books & puzzles, beach items, etc. The only negative is the pool being on the street side of the building. It would have been better on the gulf side of the building."

"Perfect getaway for our family of four
We loved the condo! When we first walked in we were greeted by a fulous welcoming smell. It was clean and very homey. The views from the huge deck were so beautiful to wake up to. The location is great, as it is close to multiple dining options and a short drive to Destin. We especially loved having the pool to relax in. The only thing that was a minor inconvenience was that the dryer took a couple rounds to get the clothes dry, but really wasn’t a big deal. Overall a fabulous place for our kids to experience the beach for the first time."

"Spring Vacation
Condo was really nice. Loved the big balcony to sit and enjoy my early morning coffee and late evening. Rental company was great. The only negative was the sleeper sofa. It was horrible! I don't see how any one could sleep on it. We had to take pillows and put under the cushions and I just slept on the couch. It really needs to be replaced if you are going to advertise it as a sleeping option to guest."

This was our second time at this condo the surf dweller. Our 5th visit to fort Walton in the past 3 years. We love this place. The condo was very nice and comfortable. So close to the beach. The heated outdoor pool was very clean. The property is very nice. Salvatis pizza was awesome. China taste was a good, quick meal too. We will definitely be back soon. "

"October Vaca
The location was great, the beach was pristine and the service was just very friendly and helpful. The condo was spacious and comfortable. The only thing I would change is the sofa. It was worn and uncomfortable if sitting longer than 15 minutes. The restaurants in the area were very good and loved visiting the “Gulf”. Visited several in Destin that were outstanding."

"Nice, Clean Condo on Fort Walton Beach
The condo was very clean and pretty. The beds and furniture were extremely comfortable. There was a great view of the ocean from the balcony. The only issue was there were no blankets. We have never stayed in a condo that didn't have blankets/extra blankets."

"Beautiiful View and Awesome Accessibility
This was a beautiful oondo with lots of space for the six of us.(adult couples and teenage boys) The view and the location were fantastic. Because of the size of the property and the surrounding properties our beach had a very manageable crowd. Beach chairs were set up in one row vs bodies everywhere. The condo itself was very updated and well furnished. However, unlike many condos I have stayed at in the past, you must bring EVERYTHING. From coffee filters to toilet paper to laundry detergent to beach toys. This particular condo had dishes and silverware and that was about it. Also, the pool is STREET SIDE not beach side. This was pretty disappointing to us because we love the ocean but don't necessarily like swimming in the June grass, algae and getting targeted by the tiny jelly fish. Also, there are NO amenities at this property except the pool and beach chairs."

"Perfect Beach View and Beach Access

"Great Stay
My family and I LOVED Surf Dweller 208!! As soon as you walk in the door, the first thing you see is a beautiful view of the ocean. The whole back wall of the unit is floor to ceiling glass doors and the view is spectacular!! The unit was beautiful, clean, updated, welcoming and inviting. The decor was beach themed, but it was not over the top. We felt at home the minute we walked in the door. We had 6 adults there and we had plenty of room and did not feel cramped at all. The building was clean and attractive. We did not hear any noise during our whole stay unless we were on the balcony. And even then, no one was loud. You could just hear people talking. But none of us even paid attention with the view of the ocean and the sound of the waves. This was the best vacation I have ever had, hands down. I am so envious of the owners of this condo!! I truly did not want to leave. You will not be disappointed if you stay here. I loved it, words just can not describe how wonderful it was. "
Jun 18, 2017 - Kristy C., Kings Mountain, NC
"Spacious and Great View
This condo was absolutely spectacular. It was huge both indoor and outdoor on the patio. The view is great, and just steps to the beach. The only improvement could be updating the patio furniture."

"Great Home Away from Home
SD 208 is a wonderful unit. Plenty of space, comfortable beds, lots of sitting room, great bathrooms, stocked kitchen, and the unit and property are VERY clean. The view from the balcony is breathtaking. We spent every extra moment sitting in the comfortable chairs outside watching the dolphins play in the ocean. The Wi-Fi worked great with multiple tablets in use at the same time. Also, the bonus of having beach chairs available to you for free is awesome. If you wake up early the staff will let you claim your umbrella so you get a good spot for whenever your ready to have your beach time. Booking with Brooks and Shorey was a breeze. The staff was so nice from beginning to end and they made checking in and out a breeze. There is no key to keep up with and you can do a mobile checkout. SO EASY! I would recommend this unit to anyone looking for a comfortable vacation space with beautiful views of the ocean. "

"INCREDIBLE Vacation Property
This property exceeded our expectations. It looks like it does in the picture only so much roomier and the views are incredible. Perfect for families or couples. Ideal location, felt very safe, extremely quiet. Was very clean, had everything we could need. Brooks and Shorey was so great and easy to work with. We loved the perks we got such as the Dolphin Cruise on the Seablaster (that is a must!). We definitely will use Brooks and Shorey again and visit this location in the future. Highly recommend."
Sep 11, 2016 - Heather J., Sherwood, AR
"Better building maintenance
Room 208 was as great as ever--very clean and well equipped for our 2 week stay. We were very dissatisfied with the maintenance of the Surf Dweller. We have been coming here for nearly 20 years, this year a major change in the upkeep of the building was noticeably evident--the building was not clean( one example was a piece of pizza left on the bottom floor as you exit the staircase which was there for the entire time we were there; another example was the trash being left outside the trash chute when it was full leaving residue on the floor). Also carts were left on floors other than the first floor. The biggest nuisance was the elevators--only one worked in the middle of the main building and another at the end; both of these were extremely slow and also not in the best working order--several times we spoke to people at the front office housed by Southern Realtors with no success. Brooks and Shorey is always great to work with, but whoever is taking care of the upkeep and maintenance of the building itself is doing a poor job."

Loved this unit because it felt like home. Loved how close it was to the beach. Plan on staying again! "

The condo was roomy, clean and very accessible to the beach. All the amenities, especially the beach chairs and umbrella, made our vacation so enjoyable.

"great week!
We were 4 adults staying and had lots of room. The furniture was all comfortable for TV watching. Usually units have just one comfy chair. Plenty of seating on the balcony too. We also enjoyed being on the second floor. Easy stair use and almost like being on the beach without the sand."

"SD 208
Our recent stay in Surf Dweller 208 was wonderful!! Very Nice everything we needed was there. The only thing was they were redoing the balcony floors so we could not go outside. We were notified two weeks prior and given a choice of a discount or to cancel. Well obviously we couldn't cancel so close to our vacation time because that was the time we had off from work which had been scheduled two months prior. It was my mother in laws first time ever to see or be on the beach. It would have been nice to use the balcony. We of course took the discount. We watched the men work and also watched Dolphins out the windows during our stay. Very very nice stay will defiantly stay here again I just hope they don't decide to redo balcony a next time. Very poor timing. "

Loved the room and was so easy to check into. Very clean and up to date. Only wish we had more time to stay."
Apr 04, 2015 - Shelia L., Decherd, Tennessee
"A great and relaxing vacation.
We loved the place, the view, the large balcony, the spacious clean rooms and the balcony furniture. Yes, the balcony furniture, specifically the high chairs that allowed us to look unobstructed at the great view and not look through the railing. This may be a small thing to some, but it was a big deal to me because we started our day before daylight sitting on the balcony enjoying a nice hot coffee and watching the day come to life. It was a very short walk from the condo (Surf Dweller 208) to the beach where our beach chairs and umbrella were waiting for us. There were rest rooms just inside the breeze way just seconds from the beach also. It was also nice to be able to park my truck with my Sea Kayak on top under the Tennis Court in the shade as there was just enough clearance for both. Check in at Brooks and Shorey was quick and easy. The gift package was a nice addition as all the contents were handy at the beach. Great location, great place, we recommend it. "
Sep 29, 2014 - Michael W., Rockford, Tn
"Hot Vacation
Had stayed at Surf Dweller several other times. However, none of the other visits were in the summer so was surprised by the 105 plus heat index several days the second week of our stay. Having the free beach umbrella and chairs was great! Also,the gulf was not clear like other times, so used the pool which was well maintained.
The unit was roomy like all Surf Dweller units. Overall, it was very clean. However, the dining area carpet was stained, most of the pots and pans had burned on food on them, and the exterior of the microwave was greasy. When this was reported, staff came and replaced the pots and pans and cleaned the microwave. There were also several maintenance issues that were not readily apparent that we reported. They were promptly resolved. The Brooks and Shorey staff was friendly and the maintainence staff knowledgeable.
The only issue not promptly resolved was the units WiFi. It was several days before we had a good connection. The Surf Dweller Association was responsible for this problem. Since one of us had a programming contract that had to be extended, we were not pleased. "

My wife and I enjoyed the luxury, comfort, convenience and awesome view of our Surf Dweller beachfront unit. The furrnishings were very comforting and most adequate. We really appreciated the quietness of our unit. Neighbors were friendly and helpful. Twice we shared the BBQ grills with nearby dwellers. All in all, we relaxed in safety and enjoyed our time to the fullest. As a matter of fact we booked for next year before heading home."

"Quite Pleased
I was extremely skeptical about my stay as usual advertisements for beach front are usually untrue. But this place has a gorgeous view and is on the beach. It is well maintained and the management company very professional. Even though pricey, it is worth the trade-off of having to deal with lots of people in a hotel. Ideally located and available parking. Out door pool kept up nicely. Overall stay a pleasure."

"Over satisfacion
We have been coming to the Surf Dweller for over 20yrs. And in those 20yrs we have experienced at most 2 unsatisfying occasions with the agency. The over all satisfaction over rules the issues. We have tried 2 other locations in the past one one just this past weekend... and by far they are no comparisons to the Surf Dweller. Thank you Brooks & Shorey for making it a pleasure to deal w/ you this past week. The only down side was that when we booked the unit initially I was told we could book a Saturday to Saturday or Sunday to Sunday. And noticed when I tried to book one more night that units had been booked for 3-4 nights. And wasn't informed of unit 211 being available for this past Saturday night. So we stayed at another complex and had an unpleasant experience. "

We arrived Saturday and picked up keys from very professional staff. We were very happy to find our vacation home in excellent shape. It was spacious and furniture was beautiful. Especially loved the patio overlooking the beach and gulf, and spent time having breakfast there also. We are telling our friends to plan a trip to Surf Dweller #208."

Everything was perfect about SD208 condo. It was very clean when we arrived. Very comfortable furniture and beds. Loved being able to see the beach from the den, kitchen and laying in the master bedroom! Quick, easy access to beach. Nice patio furniture, high chairs to see over rail and table with 4 chairs! Big comfy couch, very nice when we watched movies at night. Air conditioner worked very good so we slept good. Kids loved the swimming pool too and it was SO nice to be able to look out the laundry room window and be able to see them in the pool!! Perfect view to beach and pool! We will definitely return to 208. We're happy to have found the perfect condo! Owner has done a great job making it comfortable and clean. "

"Excellant, except for the dryer!
The staff of Brooks and Shorey are excellant. One tiny little problem, the dryer was not drying. We discovered the vent was clogged. Left a note with Brooks and Shorey and I am sure it has been cleaned out. Everything else was WONDERFUL!"

"comforts of home
As soon as walked in, we felt like it would be a great stay. The condo was spotless and this was very important to us. We opened the door stepped inside and could see straight out to the beautiful Gulf (thru clean windows). The kitchen was well stocked with different sized pots, pans and bakeware. There was nothing that we needed. I especially enjoyed the view from the comfortable bed....the first morning i was able to see the dolphins swim by as I was lying there!! The owners also had the condo stocked with sand toys for children if needed, games, reading material and a few dvd's and VHS tapes. We have booked for next year and are looking forward to another 5 week stay. Thank you Eva for making the booking of the condo an easy one"

"Great Time
We enjoyed the condo. It was very clean and roomy. The extras included with the condo were great. We used the free pass on the dolphin cruise and the complimentary chairs/umbrella on the beach were great. We are planning to book this condo again!"

"Sisters in Florida
We had a good stay. There was 6 of us and we are all sisters from Indiana. The master bedroom the air comndition was not cool.The carpet in the dining room needed to be cleaned. Neither bathroom had the toilet paper holders.I think the Condo could use a little up dating in the living room and dining room. For the most part it is a nice condo and we enjoyed our stay.We have stayed at this condo for 3 years and will come back again next year. We was impressed with how there was someone was working around the condo to keep it clean. Had not seen that in years past. Thank you Brooks and Shory for making it is to get the condo rented.Also the movie rental was down for several days. maybe have a backup location to rent movies. Look forward to seeing you in 2013.

"Moms and kids last minute getaway
We arrived early and our unit was not cleaned yet. We went to grocery store to get what we needed and were able to get keys soon after. Unit was extremely roomy! Kitchen was big enough for all us moms to get in and prep food. Dryer didn't work well, we figured out the vent on back was clogged. Unit is furnished with great furniture. Comfy but not slumy. Would definitely use this unit again!"

"Our Family Vacation
We had a great time, and just a few days before Debbie hit. The only things to comment about was we ran out of toilet paper in one of the bathrooms, and the carpet (in the dining room especially) was a bit spotted. The view was fantastic!"

"Recent stay
SD 208 is immaculately maintained . The view to the beach is amazing . Laid back surprisingly quiet . Decor is ok master bedroom colors were not to my taste . Overall very comfortable . Would definitely stay again."

"Unhappy with SD-208 condos conditon
The condo is bad need of repairs. Carpet stained and filthy. Blinds didn't work. The screen doors screen was torn and unusable. The dryer didn't work because the lint trap itself was clogged and spewing lint out the vent into the walk way.You could tell by the condition of the condo itself the owner was not keeping it up. Very unhappy with the condo. Great service from Brooks and Shorey.. Surf Dwellers property itself ok. "

"Surf Dweller #208
We stayed at the Gulf Side last year and had requested it for this year; however, elevator was down so we had to change. When we got to the Surf Dweller, at first we were very disapponted and upset, it really was pretty dirty, found a couple of bugs in the tub, and just general uncleanliness. Once we thoroughly cleaned everything, we loved our stay very much, especially the big balcony with the tall chairs on it - could see over the bannister and had a great view! We love coming to Fort Walton Beach, and plan to come back each spring, God willing. This particular unit could use more skillets (bigger)-it's a bigger unit for families and needed the numbers of items to accomodate families. "

"Perfect week in paradise
The views from this property are breathtaking and the condo is the perfect size for a family of 4 to 6. It was great having that home away from home feeling in a gorgeous environment. Luckily for us, Mother Nature provided the perfect weather, too."

"A Perfect Vacation !!
The condo was beautiful and exactly as pictured on the internet. Brooks & Shorey will definitely be our first choice in the future. If it hadn't been for their cancellation policy during the oil spill we would have cancelled our trip. We are so glad that we didn't!! "

"Beautiful view in spacious accomodations
The title says it all. We had a great time in a nicely decorated condo that felt more like a home than the usual smaller resort condos. The view was terrific with white sand beach in both directions as far as the eye could see. The location was quiet on the Okaloosa Island and easy access to a great variety of restaurants and shopping in the Fort Walton Beach and Destin area. In conclusion, all I can say is "We'll be back".
