Great Gulf-front view

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Had to "man" the coffee pot so it wouldn't overflow (after cleaning the coffee grounds out of it), but the k-cup one worked fine. All 3 electrical outlets around the dining table did not work, regardless of which light switches were on. They just need to be replaced. The balcony furniture was great! The 2 front bedrooms REALLY need black-out curtains! Just wish we'd been told that the bridge workers would be pile-driving at 8am! Go to Fubar for great pizza; AJ's for great karaoke & the Shack for great fish!

First Time in Unit 603

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Brooks and Shorey staff, particularly the lady working in the Gulf Dunes building, have been great to work with each year. This was the first time we rented the unit and we were a bit disappointed in the comfort of the sofa and loveseat. The kitchen wasn't as well stocked (4 teaspoons as versus 8 or more) etc., but the beds were very comfortable and the balcony furniture was very nice. The cleaning crew left the kitchen cabinets very disorganized and the cookware was missing a few sizes of pots and skillets...otherwise, our stay was very pleasant.

Summer Vacation 2023

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed the location of our Rental. The view from the balcony was beautiful. We were very disappointed in the furniture and cleanliness of the property. When we turned the ceiling fan on in the master bedroom dust bunnies covered the bedspread. The furniture was dusty and the baseboards looked as if they’d never been cleaned. The sofa and loveseat were worn out and very uncomfortable. We ended up using the outdoor furniture because we couldn’t get comfortable otherwise. The unit is in desperate need of updated furniture and a deep cleaning. Also, the sliding door leading to the balcony was so hard to open and close that my husband couldn’t open it on his own. The ball bearings on the rollers on the door are gone or worn out. On a more positive note the unit was very quiet. For the money we paid we were disappointed.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location is perfect, however this unit was not clean. The floors inside were not mopped, the outside patio tile was also dirty. The master bathroom:only one small towel rack, we were having to dry our towels on hangers from the closet. The master door knob would stick constantly, the rugs in the master could use a cleaning. The sliding glass doors were dirty as well as being very difficult to open. The Master bed was old and uncomfortable and the mattress was dirty. The pillows old and flat, we could not get the TV in the Master to increase volume and then it would not shut off, with us having to unplug it, hair in the nightstand as well. This is our 4th year coming to Okaloosa Island and twice renting from Brooks & Shorey, and we love it there, however this was by far was a huge disappointment staying in this unit

The light outside makes it difficult to sleep well with only blinds on the window. Also hand soap in the kitchen would be helpful.

Comfortable but needs updates

We vacationed with 30 family members and rented 6 condos so we saw other condos. Ours still had older stove and frig and TVs were smaller. The decor was more southwest not the Beach. Beautiful view and beds were comfortable
