Great condo on the beach
Clean, exactly what we needed for our family. Kids loved the bunk beds. View is gorgeous, beach is phenomenal. Will definitely stay here again. Easy reservation process and great customer service.
Property was clean, plenty of supplies and was our home for 2 weeks. Washer and dryer made it easy to return home with very little dirty laundry. Beautiful beach, and beach service was awesome.
The view was excellent, the cleanest of the condo, it was very clean. That was very important for me .We will be back soon. Whoever clean this condo keep up the great work😃

Thank you so much for staying with us and for your review. We can't wait to see you next summer!!
We love this condo. Perfect for my husband and I. We need two bathrooms and the murphy bed is perfect for when my snoring runs my husband off. This is a well maintained property. We have a new favorite now!
We stay on Fort Walton every year in July but we needed an emergency get away. Booked this the Monday before we left and had a wonderful time. Always a great time. No beach toys and no backstock of spices (even salt and pepper) but not a big deal. Beach chair service guys were awesome.
Thanks again!!

Good
We have enjoyed this condo a few times. We like that it has high chairs/table on the balcony. The recliner in the living room is a plus, and we found the kitchen to be better stocked than most. It had some decent nonstick skillets, and plenty of utensils. We also like that there is an empty cabinet where we can keep our grocery items. The unit was clean, and the staff at Sunset Rentals was helpful and courteous.

Spring 2022 Florida Trip
Everything at Condo was fine. We were not able to use the pool and hot tub for the first week due to painting on front of complex. We are expecting a price reduction due to this but that was not a Sunset Resort Issue per se. The condo was well equipped and stocked as described. It is nice furnished and very clean. The master bed was very comfortable. We very much enjoy the location…..great views and a great beach. We look forward to our trip back next year.

Feels like 2nd home
Having stayed in this condo once before, it felt familiar and comfortable, like an old friend. Yes, it is somewhat dated but it felt very clean as we walked in. The location is so good. Had trouble locking the slider so called Sunset and the came out same day. We have always rented thru Sunset and they are always helpful and responsive and if there has been a problem, they have made it right. 317 is stocked with all we need as far as dishes, pots and pans, paper products and towels. My only company would be that 2 hangers is not enough and we're always short on the hand towels.
No one could tell me what kind of coffee pot was in the unit. No salt and pepper. Never experienced that. Beautiful view! But the building was doing VERY noisy reconstruction and no parking in the garage. We should of been informed of that and let us make the decision to put up with the noise. Offer a price reduction to stay despite the ongoing construction!

Inaccurate check out time. Got locked out
First and foremost, the stay overall was good. The unit is rather outdated, but we just needed somewhere to lay our heads at night, so no big deal...but here's where my issues start, check out time clearly states 10am. We took our bags down to the car around 915am, and were going to come back up just to look the room over one more time, to insure we got all of our things. Only to find that the door code was changed at 920am. Both of our cell phones were inside of the room charging. So I had to go find a maintenance worker for help. Luckily, I didn't leave my paperwork in the room showing proof I rented the unit. Because he wouldn't have been able to open the door with the master key and we would've had to wait around all day for housekeeping in the hot and humid Florida weather. Thank goodness it didnt come to that. Even with all this trouble, we still got all of our things out before 10am.
Tips to future renters: Remember to leave one person in the room while someone else takes the bags to the car. Beause these professionals will program the door code to change before check out time.
It's a shame really, because check in is so late in the day (4pm) but check out time is so early (10am). With that being said, I fully expect to have up until my check out time to clear out of the rental. I paid for that. Things could've been a lot worse, imagine if someone left their newborn sleeping in the room and came back to find the door locked.
Property management, please do better. 10am means 10am. Not 9:03, not 9:15. It means 10:00 am. Totally unprofessional.

We are so sorry that you were inconvenienced in this way. Checkout time is 10am, and we do not expect for you to depart any sooner. Our door locks are mechanical with internal programming, and are subject to malfunction. We are glad that you were able to get assistance from security to let you back inside. Also, please know that we have personnel ready to assist for any reason and the resort has our contact information. We are looking into this to help prevent a similar issue. Meanwhile, your advise to others is very helpful. We recommend taking phone whenever leaving the room and also recommend never leaving small children unattended inside the property.
We hope that the rest of your vacation was enjoyable and that you were able to take some happy memories with you.
The condo was very accommodating. Very clean and comfortable. The view of the gulf was great. We would love to stay here again.
