"Gulfside 302
The Gulfside complex was a lot smaller that we had stayed at before so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but from the minute we pulled into the parking lot we were amazed! There was a lady outside (I wish I’d gotten her name) we asked her about the parking and she was so sweet and helpful. She told us she had lived there 23 years, she even offered to spot for us pulling the truck in. The “smaller complex” turned out to be a plus because we never had trouble finding open beach chairs/unbrellas (the condo comes with free beach service) and the pool was pretty much always empty! And oh that pool! The rooftop pool was amazing! You look right out into the ocean from the pool, and we spent a lot of time up there since we had kinda yucky weather and double red flags on the beach during most of our stay! It’s further down the beach than we are used to, so not really anything in walking distance, but the location had its advantages because it was a lot less crowded and that made the traffic situation easier! I have no complaints and I’ve already been recommending this unit to my friends! Also, if you love fresh seafood, eat at The Shack. There were 4 adults that stayed and we had plenty of room. The balcony had a beautiful view, we spent alot of time out there, but also watched movies together in the living room. I could go on and on lol. A good time was had by all and I highly recommend this unit!!!"

"First Timer And Will Be Back For Sure !!!
Our unit was very nice , super clean and in what I consider an ideal location. The unit was very clean, the Brooks and Shorey Staff was extremely helpful and available. We did need maintenance for a minor problem and Mike was super professional and genuinely a nice guy. My wife and I are already looking forward to our next stay. Thank you Brooks and Shorey and Gulfside 302 owner for a great experience!!"

It was a very well equipped kitchen and everything was clean and in order, we really enjoyed our stay except for the weather but you could not have changed that lol! "

"Great Unit & Booking Agency
Overall it was a great vacation. The unit is super spacious and overall clean. There are a few things that could make this unit perfect. The kitchen needs some pitcher for tea and better pots and pans. The mattress is nice but the bedding is cheap. It needs better sheets and covers."

"Anniversary vacation
We have stayed in this unit before, but this time, it didn't seem as clean. The floor was dirty and the bedroom smelled very musty. It just didn't smell clean when we arrived. "

"Top Notch
Our first big the season family vacation. This condo didn’t disappoint with the perfect ocean front view, sophisticated beachy decor, conveniently located to many things and comfortable furniture . Would highly recommend. "

"Very nice condo and location!
This was a very nice condo and location but had a few problems with my stay! The pool was closed for 3 days due to painting which really sucked. Then the elevator didn’t work off and on the whole stay. I have severe back problems and had to climb stairs almost daily! Other than that I guess would’ve been very nice. For the price I was very unsatisfied!"

"Great location and I would stay here again.
The building itself is a little worn especially the elevator buttons that need fixed because sometimes they don't work.The roof top pool was pretty cool.Didnt swim but went up to enjoy the views.Arrived Christmas Eve and the door code did not work.Called the emergency number and was called back immediately and the lady was very nice and fixed it quickly.The condo was really nice despite a few dust bunnies but was not something major to us.The bedroom was nice and comfy bed only issue with bedroom was a huge rug rolled up and some trim up against the wall.This should have been removed but not a big deal.The master bath was ok only really complaint is the lighting is very dim.Other bathroom was better than the master. It does need some touch up paint in a few spots but that's just cosmetic.The hot water didn't last long.We couldn't take back to back showers without running out of hot water but we managed.The washer and dryer is something I love to have in a unit but the dryer doesn't dry very well.I had a very small load of whites and it took over an hour to dry.The larger load I had to separate in half.The kitchen had mostly everything we needed.New appliances but the ice machine likes to make had mostly everything you needed. Plenty of silverware but a block of knives would be helpful as there was none.The living room and dinning area was nice and couch was comfortable and even pull out wasn't bad.Nice big TV and plenty of seating.The balcony had a great view but could smell people smoking pot daily.Only major problem I had was there was no cleaning products.They had 1 packet of dishwasher soap and 1 for washing clothes.But nothing to clean counter or the toilet.I knew about paper towels and brought my own along with extra toilet paper.The kitchen also had nothing like salt pepper or coffee filters which I was aware of.A bottle of lysol would have been nice. Even though was a few negative things I would still stay here again."

"Perfect
The condo was as described. Beautiful view and super clean. Would not have a problem renting from Brooks & Shorey in the future."

"For the view
The condo was nice; not great but nice. The condo was clean and it had the amenities we needed. We would stay there again as is was off the main roads and the view was amazing! And even if we didn't stay at that condo again, we would certainly try to book through again. They were great to deal with!"

"Great condo
My husband and I rented this condo for our Honeymoon and it was perfect for 2 people. It was clean and looked just like the photos from online. Check in and out was made easy by the app provided by the company. The beach was beautiful and we had great views from our balcony. We also like that it was a short drive to Destin to do more activities there. Some activities we enjoyed were mini golf at Big Kahunas and The Air Force Armament Museum. Some restaurants we enjoyed were The Cowhead, McGuires, Props, and Fokkers. "

"Relax and Chill
Nice condo with beautiful relaxing views. The condo is spacious and served our family of 4 great. The vibe is laid back and comforting with the décor/colors. It's a one bedroom with a sleeper couch but has 2 bathrooms! The kitchen comes stocked with a few pots and pan and utensils. The washer/dryer is also great to have. The views from the den never disappoint and
overall the place was perfect for us"

"Good view
It was clean. Bed was comfortable. Good view of Gulf from rooftop pool. Elevator license showed expired and did not always work. Some stairs were being painted so you had to use the elevator. Pretty expensive for quality of interior. My daughter and family were 3 floors up and when it rained a picture fell off the wall and wall was soft and wet INSIDE the building. There was a used condom at the rooftop pool for two days. "

"2021 trip JJ
Was good overall however some info was not included in the room as it was before. Code for pool and an email had said the packing permits would not be in the room but had to be picked up or printed from an email that came after we had started travel down there. Also, the elevator door call buttons were getting worn and need some attention as it took multiple pushes at different angles sometimes to get them to work."
Jul 25, 2021 - Johnny J., Bethany, OK
"Very Satisfied but no internet
Great location and property was clean. The kitchen pots & pans were not very good- the teflon was peeling off so did not use. Also, we could not connect to WiFi after multiple attempts and was referred to Cox, the cable company to try to resolve ourselves. Brooks and Shorey should have taken care of this problem for us. We were very disappointed that the internet did not work, and no one from Cox returned our calls."

"Quiet with a view
condo was very clean and roomy. Nice view with easy access to the beach. Would definitely rent again."

"Restful
Enjoyed my stay at this condo. Being gulf front is a big perk ! Had no issues except the last night, the people in the condo directly above me were noisy and heavy-footed most of the evening.
I was also disappointed in not seeing any hand soap in the kitchen or bathrooms. With Covid still being an issue, antibacterial hand soap would have been nice. I has to go back to the store to purchase.
Beach chairs were always available and the rooftop pool was always clean, with the exception of sand in the bottom. But not everybody follows rules and showers off properly before entering.

"Wonderful!
The company really knows how to make your vacation perfect. And the condo was great too, lol. "

"Beautiful view
Condo was very nice, wonderful view and great location. Overall the condo was very clean, but the floors were not. They may have been vacuumed but they were not mopped. We really enjoyed our stay."
May 05, 2021 - , Williamston, MI
"Needed get away
Weather was cool and rainy but we made the best of it. Condo was outdated but clean. We mostly definitely enjoyed the peace and quiet of the condo. Great location! I definitely enjoyed being right on the beach and having beach chairs already on the sand for access. Overall a great vacation and would love to come back in the summer. "

Our condo was very clean and nice. Easy and close access to the beach."

"Not Professional
With the tropical storm approaching we had questions regarding our upcoming stay. Everytime we called the property owners acted as if we were bothering them. Loved the property but would not rent from them again."

"5 Stars
Awesome condo with a great view. I love the covered parking and smaller building. This condo met all my expectations and I will definitely recommend to others."

"Great time at the Beach
We have done an annual mother/daughter beach trip for many years. We’ve rented from quite a few of the complexes on Okaloosa Island. This was our best! Clean, good quality linens, very tasteful decor. Extremely roomy for a one bedroom. Furniture was very comfortable. Loved the full washer and dryer in a large utility area located in the hallway. Covered parking was a nice bonus. The complex is on the edge of the dunes so it’s a very short walk to the waters edge. My only recommendation would be that the complex had a more user friendly area for washing off sand before entering the building. We loved this condo!"

"No WiFi was a deal-breaker
It was great except no WiFi and I was on call for my,hospital. Cell phones would not connect and we could not order food for delivery. Disappointed!"

"Great Condo with Amazing Views
We have vacationed in Fort Walton/Destin area for the past 10 years. This condo exceeded our expectations! It Is in a great location with the best view! We loved the condo and the balcony was great. Having beach service included was the cherry on top! Our kids really enjoyed the rooftop pool! My only complaint is that the pool area had no shaded area. Amazing place to stay! "

"Excellent stay at Gulfside 302
The location of this condo could not be more perfect. The walk to the water is a breeze and you are within a very short drive to a lot of fun activities. Also, the beach chair service was AMAZING! Thank goodness there was a grocery store close by. You will need to go to the store and stock up on anything and everything that you might need to stay there for an extended time(i.e. toilet paper, paper towels, spices/seasonings to cook, etc.). The building the condo is in was so quiet and the people that we did encounter were very nice. The condo itself is nice. We have a family of 4 with smaller children so it worked perfect for us. The kids did say that the fold out bed was a little uncomfortable, but not a deal breaker. All in all, we had a great stay! We would definitely consider renting this condo again!"

"Awesome condo stay
Very quite relaxing condo. Everything is just like stated. "
Apr 01, 2019 - Michele D., Waterloo, WI
"LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION!
This is a GREAT location right on the beach! We appreciated the chair service! The unit above was being remodeled so we were woken up VERY early for 4-5 days so it would have been good to know in advance. There needs to be a bit of updating on cabinets, lighting and ceiling but overall a nice unit. Not a fan of plastic dishes or glasses that were provided. Very easy to travel to Destin and 30A area!"

"Great time
We enjoyed the stay and the condo. It was very clean when we arrived and had everything we needed other than we would have liked more options on the TVs. (although we didn't watch much) The chair and umbrella was a great perk. Loved the roof top pool. The outside of building doors etc could use some painting just as a first impression"

"Love Fort Walton Beach!
The rental unit was nice. We liked staying at a condo with less units, it was quiet and a great location."

We loved how close to the beach we were, and how convenient the access to the beach was. The condo was updated and very nice. "

"Great condo
Enjoyed this condo very much!! Perfect size for my husband and I !! The unit had everything had a huge balcony with a great breeze!! And the rooftop pool..perfection!! If we had to find one thing to critique if would be the mattress on the bed wasnt comfy..toooo firm. Wefound oursekves having achy backs and getting out of bed earluer than wanted to relieve it...maybe a nice fluffy matress pad topper would help.
But we loved the unit location..loved the small 15 unit building..and that it was never crowded..and pool becer vrowded either..usually we had it to ourselves!!"

"Wonderful View, Clean, and Quiet!
We were very comfortable at Gulfside 302. The booking and checking process was very easy. Everything was done online, we got a call with the door code, so we did not have to mess with paperwork or finding an office. The condo was very clean and spacious. The balcony view is amazing. The beaches were very clean and not too crowded which made for a great visit. We loved our trip. "

"Anniversary vacation
We had a fantastic stay. The view of the ocean was beautiful and being only steps from the beach made it even better. "

"Fantastic
Very nice and clean! Loved the layout! And right on the beach!! It was quiet too. Updated kitchen appliances. "

"Beautiful condi and location
This condo was really nice. I loved the tile floors the big tile throughout was beautiful. Right on the beach and the view is spectacular. Sunsets awesome and even seen the fireworks that is shot off every Wednesday night in Destin , we could see them from our balcany. Only thing was a faint mildew smell coming from vents in living riom. Very faint I would definitely rent this one again. "

"A great stay in paradise
We had a great stay loved the condo. We only had one minor issue with the WiFi connection. The folks from Brooks & Shorey came over to the property and within a short time helped to resolve the issue. This wasn't a big deal for us but if you had clothes that might need to be on a hanger you'll need to bring your own or purchase them. There weren't any in the condo."

"Stay at Okaloosa Island Gulfside 302
The unit was nice, but could use a few upgrades.Walls need painting and the ceiling over the shower in the bedroom bath has sustained water damage and is ready to break oout and fall. Found potato chips and other items under furniture in living room. Came for the view and the ocean. The tv in the bedroom doesn't have the same availibility as the one in the living room they don't coincide. Bed was very comfortable but room didn't smell fresh was sort of musty.Enjoyed having the pool on top of condo and being able to park underneath....The staff at Brooks and Shorey were very nice especially Kela who helped me tremendously..Was nice not having to carry chairs to the beach "

"Family vacation September 2017
We stayed at gulfside for our family vacation. This is a smaller condo, which I think is better then the huge condos. Less people coming and going. Also less people at the beach and in the pool. The room was perfect for our family. The condo is kinda awkwardly long, but nothing you can't get used to. When we first walked in the smell of fresh fish was horrible. I'm pretty sure someone had stored fish in the freezer, but after a day or two the smell disappeared. The condo could probably use a fresh painting job, but other than that the condo had everything we needed. The free beach chairs were amazing!!!! We definitely got use out of them. The condo had plenty of towels and that's always a plus! We would probably stay here again, but I think we decided that we like the Destin area better. "
Sep 23, 2017 - Stephanie R., Murphysboro, Il
"Labor Day weekend
The condo was very clean well nicely done the kitchen had everything one would need best of all were the views and the proximity to the beach It was perfect. I have one suggestion. The book with things to do. We didn't find it under the tv stand until the last day. Maybe it would be better displayed on the kitchen table to see when you first come in the condo."
Sep 07, 2017 - Jenn W., Cleveland, Oklahoma
"Great Condo
Loved the roof top pool and small condo means the pool is not crowded! Would definitely stay again. The condo was clean and open which I loved. The condo could use a paint job and would love to see some lounge chairs on the balcony. Otherwise it was perfect. "
Jul 10, 2017 - , Vinemont, AL
"Love the Beach
This rental unit was great. Everything we needed was there. Very clean. Nice furnishings. We would stay again."

"Summer Stay 2017
The beach aspect of this unit is amazing. Great views, great balcony, great beach service. The master bedroom (I think just because of location at back of unit with almost no light) had a musty odor, but otherwise the unit was pretty clean. We have stayed in Brooks & Shorey units before and are always impressed with their cleanliness. This unit could use a couple of updates (mostly in paint and lighting), but you can tell that updates are in progress. We loved having a full size washer & dryer. Parking is not so fun, and construction was being done next door making it extra difficult. Unfortunately the June grass was in full bloom making the water a bit undesirable. This was our 4th trip to FWB, thankfully we have not had that problem before. We love FWB because the beaches are less crowded than Destin and we can still go enjoy the Destin activities, while staying on a better beach."

"Great place!
Very convenient to the beach! Quiet, and comfortable. "
Jun 05, 2017 - , Mt. Juliet, TN
"Great place!
The place is a bit dated but not in bad shape. It has newer furniture and is very clean. It is easy to access the beach from this place. The keypad to enter the room is also convenient as you don't have to keep up with any keys. Would definitely stay here again! "
May 17, 2017 - , Loveland, OH
"Would book again
Love the area and this condo worked perfectly for a long weekend getaway. The view from the balcony was spectacular! I particularly enjoyed staying in a smaller complex which meant the beach was not crowded at all and there was plenty of room to relax without anyone on top of you. I would suggest fresh paint throughout the unit and a few small upgrades that would freshen up the place. It looks a little "tired". Other than that I enjoyed my stay! The bed was SO comfy and slept like a baby! Important for me since I have lower back issues. "
May 13, 2017 - Amy M., Mt. Juliet, TN
"Nice and Spacious
I loved every moment of staying here. It was very nice and spacious, and the location was perfect. It gives the perfect amount of privacy and also is in great proximity to local stores as well. I will definitely be staying here again."
May 02, 2017 - Shaquita H., Brooksville, MS
"Awesome Stay!
We enjoyed every bit of it....from the short walk to the beach to the spacious, clean, and updated interior of the condo. It is ideally located right in the middle of Fort Walton and within easy driving distance of just about everything you could possible want."
Oct 28, 2016 - Daniel C., Murfreesboro, TN
"Much needed relaxing mini vacation
Unit was clean and well stocked with everything we needed for a wonderful weekend getaway. It was close to great restaurants and shops. The best part was easy access to the beach and the view from balcony. We were late arrival and our vacation package info was easy to pickup with access code at office. We hope to come back to Ft Walton and stay here again. "

"Gulfside 302
Gulfside is in a great location and has the only rooftop pool on the island. Plus: great views, covered parking, chair and umbrella service included. Property management super friendly and quick to send maintenance when needed. Minus: not enough seating in living room and very uncomfortable furniture. Kitchen not very well equipped if you plan to cook. "
Sep 17, 2016 - , Atlanta, GA
"Marvelous!
Everything from the interaction with the rental company to location and space of the condo was marvelous. Me and my wife both agreed that we won't ever use any other rental company when staying in Destin/ Fort Walton as there's no need to look for anything better than perfect. "
Aug 21, 2016 - Tiago S.
"Nice, relaxing get away.
We spent 4 nights at Gulfside 302. Loved the location, nice accomodations. Missed having a Master bedroom without an ocean view. "
