Perfect Stay!!

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 view from the balcony was perfect! Saw lots of dolphins and spent one morning watching a bunch of surfers. Perfect amount of space for a family of 4. The beds were super comfortable and the couch was perfect for family movie nights after a day in the sun. The included chairs and umbrella made beach days perfect. Check in and check out was super easy. The included app for our stay was such a nice touch and super helpful. 100% will return back to this condo! I actually want to know where the couch was bought from because my family now wants the exact one!

Amazing accommodations and customer service

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: This is a beautiful and comfortable condo. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were comfortable and the couch was spacious. That said, the best part of the place is the amazing deck which had great furniture and stunning views. I also have to give a shout out to Brooks and Shorey’s customer service. Due to a mix-up that was 100% my fault, we arrived at Fort Walton Beach the week before our actual reservation. The staff at Brooks and Shorey worked with us to find accommodations for the week at the last minute and saved our family vacation. I am so grateful to them for that and will continue to use them for all future vacations to this area.

Trip summed up in 2 words ‘fantastically wonderful’

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 have stayed two other units using Brooks and Shorey and this unit was everything and more. It was much larger than expected. It was a magical stay from the moment we arrived to the second we left. The beach service chair person was fantastic and very accommodating with my daughter who broke her leg prior to our stay and got us a reserved spot everyday. Being peak season it was never crowded. The unit was spacious enough for my daughter to use her crutches with ease. We had the exceptional view obviously all day everyday. The property was gorgeous. The unit had everything we needed and more. I highly recommend booking any beach stay with Brooks and Shorey. We have used Brooks and Shorey for a decade now and have always been blown away by the service, the unbeatable price and the glorious accommodations! It was simply perfect!

Relaxing 2 weeks

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 enjoyed relaxing in the beautiful condo, eating out most dinners, walking along the beach and sitting on the balcony looking over the wonderful gulf. With the maintenance painting and siding as well as other work, the parking spaces were limited. Once, we sat in the lot until someone left and a space was open. It had been advertised as having pickleball so we brought rackets with us. The courts were closed and looked freshly painted. We certainly would come back to this condo which was very comfortable. The staff at Brooks and Shorey (Hannah) were so nice and kind. The maintenance men who corrected a problem with the TV were also very nice and did a good job.

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: I have rented through numerous realtors in Ft. Walton for many years. Brooks and Shorey is by far the most attentive and on spot with their communications about the rental. We have been staying 1-2 times year for the past 50+ years and B&S will now be our go to choice. The FREE beach service is a definite plus!

Great stay

Great place to stay. Special should out for Elizabeth from the property management office who relocated us to this unit proactively after finding our rented unit to be too noisy because of some renovation work on the unit. She was a superstar and made sure we enjoyed our stay!

Great Unit in a great location

This condo had everything we needed, plenty of space to spread out and kitchen was stocked with everything you could possibly think of. Only constructive criticism I have is there is no mechanical lock on the front door, only the numerical keypad (which did have a dead bolt that wasn't working/installed). So from the inside it would be super easy for little kids who like to wander to just take off without anyone noticing.

Unhappy

We found out about 3 weeks before our arrival there that they will be sanding the balconies and doing construction on the building. Dust will be everywhere we were told. Was not happy had to find a different place to stay in that short time period. Very upset.

Needs updated furnishings

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cleaning crew is subpar. Has been for 4 years in a row now. Refuse to dust floorboards and behind doors. The patio furniture is awful. I have complained numerous times, but yet, its still there. We spend the most time on the balcony and it VERY uncomfortable. Master bed is uncomfortable, as well as the cheap living room chairs. Those things aside, this unit is great!!! Perfect end unit, you can see it all! Brooks and Shorey are the best. I will ALWAYS use them no matter which unit I choose.
