Cute condo on a beautiful beach

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: This was our second year staying at this condo. It’s right on the beach and above the heated pool. The view is beautiful. We spent a lot of time on the patio. It’s very comfortable and very warm most days. Unfortunately the condo above us was being renovated. Also work was being done in the parking garage below us. It was very noisy the first two weeks of our stay. We spent more time on the beach where all we could hear were waves.
Response from VrboOwner on 9 Mar 2026
Thank you for staying with us again and for sharing your feedback. We’re so glad you enjoyed the beautiful beach view and were able to spend time relaxing on the balcony and the beach. We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you back for another visit soon!

Perfect weekend!

The condo was just as described….so cute and comfortable. It had everything we needed. The beach was beautiful and not crowded at all. I loved that beach chairs were included in the rental. The area was perfect… close to Destin which is where we drove to eat dinner. We will definitely go back to stay in this specific condo!! Thank you for a great relaxing weekend!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: Gulf Dunes is the perfect place to stay. We were surrounded by good people, delicious food, and an amazing beach! Everything in the condo was up to date and provided us with all the necessities and more! We loved having our own beach access and the chair/umbrella service was a huge plus! The only thing that would make it better would be a hot tub. We will definitely be back!

Over Priced

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: Clean but out dated condo. Great location. Toilet sounded like the pressure was going to make it explode when flushed. Too much light spilling into master bedroom from elevator light..even with curtains pulled. Had to do a 10 pt turn to get my truck out of deck when deck was full. Overpriced in my opinion.

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
The furniture was so dirty the armrests were black and gray, all the dishes were dirty, ceiling fan globe went flying off in master when turned on. Stayed in this building 3 prior times and as a repeat customer owner Ron Shorey refused any partial refund and the manager only offered to clean the 30 year old furniture which could not be cleaned, the pictures were taken when it was new, very deceitful do not use Brooks and Horey

Nice family facility.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice facility. Room was as described. 2nd floor is a big plus. Elevators are quick. Parking spaces are nice size, very convenient and under cover. Great family area. Our first time at Fort Walton. 6 miles from Destin. Only complaints were, the pools are a little small. The fitness area is WAY outdated. Only 3 machines one didn't work. But overall a very nice family friendly facility. Talked to many other tourist that have been coming back for years. We will be back. We will check other dates the time we were there was a bit too pricey. Oh, and free movies.

Condo #205’s location was terrible. Would not recommend it.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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 condo was clean. The location of the condo by the elevator and over the pool was terrible. It was constantly very noisy. Especially, the pool. We understand children are there to play in the pool and have fun but the constant loud screaming was too much. There should be some type of noise rule and it be enforced. Kids are just playing and having fun but this particular group of parents and children were way over the top. We loved the location of the facility. Several good restaurants within an easy walking distance. The beach chair attendants were phenomenal. Excellent service. We would stay again but definitely not in condo #205. When we booked we were not told the condo was directly over the pool and across from the elevator.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We apologize for the condo not being up to par for your stay and have passed along this information to the appropriate parties so they can be addressed.

We are glad you enjoyed your time & look forward to future reservations in which you can take advantage of the return customer discount.

Great location

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall stay was good. The location was great. Easy to enter/exit. Bed was comfy. The condo is above the pool and it could be quite noisy at times. However, at night it would be less noisy so that was ok. The only negative comment I must leave is the condo complex is open to people parking and using the facilities like the pool and entrance to the beach and the garage. The only place a code was needed was to the pool restrooms! No code was needed for the garage parking nor to pool area which leads to the beach. We never felt insecure, however, we didn’t like the openness that was easily available to non renters/owners. We did like the keyless entry to our condo. The condo was very clean just needed a few updates like a towel bar in bathroom closest to bedroom. Plenty of soft towels which was nice. Great fridge and ice maker. Staff friendly. We loved the sea blaster snorkel and dolphin cruise. Thanks for the free ticket. It was fun, overall stay was good
Response from VrboOwner on 27 May 2022
Thank you for your review and feedback. Although Gulf Dunes is not a gated are, it is not open to the public. Parking permits are required to park in the parking area and the garage spots are reserved for specific units. The HOA employees staff to monitor the common areas also. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and hope you will come visit again.

Relaxing family beach trip

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed here with our two young daughters and I cannot thing of one negative thing to say about our stay! If you are looking for a well kept condo on the beach, this one is perfect! Furnishings are in great condition, may not be the most "modern" but if you are coming here you are more concerned with the beach I would think than the condo furnishings! The views from the balcony are exactly what are in the photos! Nothing misleading, you are right on the beach with breathtaking views of the gulf! Beach access could not be easier! This specific unit, 205, in my opinion is perfect for families with small children. You are right by the elevator which takes you to lobby and straight to pool and beach access! Running up to the condo from the beach was no problem at all! If you are looking for resort amenities this one may not be for you. The pool is perfect, nothing fancy. If you are looking for a true beach condo this is it! No large complex to walk through to get to the beach! It took us less than 5 minutes to get from the condo with our two small girls and beach cart in tow to our beach chairs! We definitely would stay here again! Okaloosa Island and Gulf Dunes condos were just the right pace for our family. Not too crowded, not too flashy and had everything we were looking for in a family beach trip! Honestly I can't think of a negative comment to share about the property!
