Great location - just steps away from the white sand and blue water. The view is perfect from the unit with its wall of windows and sliding doors. This unit is large - bigger than most condos we’ve stayed in throughout our many visits to Fort Walton Beach. The unit and property was clean and well maintained. We will definitely stay here again

The condo was awesome and larger than it appeared in the pictures. The cleaning crew was finished earlier than our check in and we were contacted by management allowing us to check in early. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well appointed.
We will be back!

This is the third time we have stayed at the Surf Dweller. The condo was nice and there were no issues. The other condos at SD we stayed at in the past offered more of the little things such as beach towels and things of that nature which were nice. But overall it was an enjoyable stay and we will come back.

Our 3 generation family stayed here for a week in September and we couldn’t be more pleased. This condo on the second floor has everything . Close to anything you might like to do, spectacular views and all the comforts of home. There were even beach toys for the kids and reading material for adults.
We would definitely come back

We were pleasantly surprised at how roomy our place was. We especially enjoyed the large balcony. Our view was incredible, and there was plenty of room for all of us!
The one problem was not enough blankets for the couch bed. We called housekeeping and got it taken care of fairly quickly.

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.

Thanks so much for leaving a review on your stay in Surf Dweller 208. We love the giant balconies at Surf Dweller and the amazing panoramic Gulf views! Come back anytime to use your return guest discount - Okaloosa Island is waiting for you, Barbara!
Overall, we had a great vacation at Surf Dweller #208! As it's usually advertised: "location! location! location!" has never been closer to reality. Walk down the stairs and you're on the beach with chairs and umbrella provided, great local restaurants nearby - what else to expect for lazy week at the beach? :)
The only minor suggestions for the property manager would be probably to get more pots and pans in the closet - sometimes we had to solve realtime puzzles of cooking several meals in one pan joggling food around, and invest in some sweeper broom - as a folks who like to get barefoot indoors it was quite hard to maintain floor cleanness with what's provided so we resorted to buying extra sweeper. Not that it distorted the gorgeous views and sunset chillouts on the patio thou :)

Thank you for your awesome review and feedback. We are elated to hear you enjoyed your vacation at Surf Dweller. We will pass your suggestions on to the proper departments. We hope to see you again soon.
The condo was well represented in the VRBO app. It was clean spacious and they provided more amenities/necessities Dan they had even said. Anytime that we needed to contact the owner or manager we always received a response within hours if not minutes even when we were still planning the trip. I am the balcony overlooks the gulf and the beach chairs are awesome. It’s not some thing you got from many other rental companies. Great job Brooks and Shorey! We have stayed in numerous other places and a few of them were definitely misrepresented but this is not one of those. Do not hesitate to book this place. If I had to come up with one drawback, it would be that some of the property owners who live in the complex are not super friendly to the renters. However, it was a limited few and most people we encountered were great.
