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

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.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo is beautiful. The views were amazing, and their was plenty of room for everone. The little kids loved the bunk area. The balcony was very spacious. This condo was very clean and well stocked with plenty of dishes which was great for cooking. I would love to come back to the ft Walton area and stay in this condo. The master bathroom is huge and jets in master bathroom were a huge plus. Plenty of closet space and beds were comfortable. I highly recommend this condo for a big family. We had 7 with us and there was plenty of room. Overall we had a great time and loved our condo. Thank you

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!

SUPER SATISFIED

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 unit itself was as advertised, and meant our expectations. Maint.issues would be the slider onto the balcony from living room area was stubborn and may have a flat spot on the roller. Maybe an all-over unit paint job is necessary in the off-season. I was impressed with the cookwear as the skillet was useable and actually may have been newly purchased. Now, I know that may not sound like much, but from my experience elsewhere, let me tell you, a decent frying pan is hard to come by in the vaca rental world. Kudos to the Brooks and Shorey staff~ your rental/check-in/check-out process is seamless. Lastly, we love the area, white sand, calm waters, and look forward to returning soon.

Beautiful beach

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than 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: Family enjoyed the beach and pool.This is the first time I have encountered issues at a condo rental, and I have to lay the blame on the management. The sliding door from the great room to the balcony was broken and of no use for the entirety of our stay. All access was made through the master bedroom. Refrigerator leaked, ice maker not working, which was resolved a few days later.One of the two pools had no access during our stay due to painting overhead, this was on July 4 week.We were not told of any problems afore hand.
