Great Stay 2023-01-05
By: Juan S. Trip Date: 2022-12-29
We’ve been vacationing here for over 15 years and they never disappoint. This beachfront rental was just what we needed to end the year. It was comfortable and convenient to both Fort Walton Beach and Destin.
Response from Brooks and Shorey Resorts, Inc.:
Thank you for you kind review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Gulf Dunes 505!

Waking up to the view of the emerald green waters contrasted with the pure white beach sand was a pleasure unto itself.

We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay so much and that you found the view to be spectacular. We look forward to seeing you back again soon, remember to utilize your repeat guest discount for your next stay with us.

Great Views, Great customer Service 2022-11-01
By: Anonymous Trip Date: 2022-10-23
We had a great time in Gulf Dunes 505. The views from the balcony were excellent, with both sunrise and sunset in our views. The condominium was clean and the customer service provided by Brooks and Shorey was superb! We will definitely be back to Gulf Dunes!
Response from Brooks and Shorey Resorts, Inc.:
Outstanding. Thank you for staying with us and sharing your experience!

Vacation 2022-10-11
By: Anonymous Trip Date: 2022-09-03
Overall stay was great. The unit itself had some minor damage on the walls. Also had one dining chair and one outdoor chair that was in need of repair but nothing that had to be fixed during the stay. Brooks and Shorey Management did offer to take care of it right away during the holiday weekend but it wasn’t urgent. They are always awesome to deal with. The master bedroom mattress probably needs replaced. The unit location was excellent and we had a great time.
Response from Brooks and Shorey Resorts, Inc.:
On behalf of our associates, thank you for the generous review about the condo, especially our flawless service, excellent location, along with a beautiful view! We would like to apologize for some minor damage and the mattress. I have shared your feedback with the appropriate party to ensure they are addressed. We appreciate your business and look forward to having you visit with us again.

Overall ok 2022-09-25
By: Maria L. Trip Date: 2022-09-12
Overall it was ok, we were unable to stream in the living room or bedroom as the tvs had no internet. The dishwasher is not secured to the countertop, when you open it it falls forward.
Response from Brooks and Shorey Resorts, Inc.:
We are sorry to hear about the internet not working. We have since had it looked at and all seems to be back to normal and we do apologize for that inconvenience. We also have addressed the issue with the dishwasher as well. We hope to see you back again soon and remember to use your repeat guest discount.

We loved our stay here! Our unit was very clean! 2022-07-18
By: Anonymous Trip Date: 2022-07-09
We loved our stay here. We loved how we were right on the beach, parking was very easy, easy access to the beach. Our unit was clean! The only suggestion I have is to maybe update the pool. But, other than that, we had a pleasant experience. The elevators worked well, too. We didn't have to wait too long for them.
Response from Brooks and Shorey Resorts, Inc.:
Thank you for taking the time to write the reviews. While we are pleased to know that you enjoyed this unit right on the beach and easy parking access, we would like to apologize for the pool.

Great Location 2022-07-11
By: Anonymous Trip Date: 2022-07-06
This was a small unit but in a great location. You can walk out back to the beach or walk across the street to Stewby’s and an ice cream shop. The pool could have been bigger, it was 4.5 feet at the deepest. Overall we had a good stay.
Response from Brooks and Shorey Resorts, Inc.:
Thank you very much for taking the time to review. We appreciate your comments and feedback. We hope that you may visit us again in the future.

Always enjoy Destin/Fort Walton Beach 2022-05-16
By: Anonymous Trip Date: 2022-05-09
We always try to stay in Brooks and Shorey properties. There are lots to like about them, but a couple of things that I'll mention. First there wasn't a blender in the room which may not be a big thing to some folks, but it was for my wife. They took care of that quickly. All good. Second, the ceiling fan in the master bedroom did not work. There was a portable fan, so we used that. All good. The final thing was bothersome to me. The wifi did not work on the day before we left. That's not good. The wifi that we had all week was non-existent. I had business that I needed to finish up with before leaving and couldn't. I did use my hotspot, but that wasn't very reliable either. Don't get me wrong, we did enjoy ourselves on our trip and always do. Just wanted to point out a few things that might make the next family's vacation even better. Thanks.
Response from Brooks and Shorey Resorts, Inc.:
Thank you for the review. We apologize for the internet being down while you were here and have passed along this information to the appropriate parties so they can be addressed. Maybe next time we can help you find a condo more aligned with your needs.

Loved the condo but... 2022-03-15
By: Kurt K. Trip Date: 2022-03-06
We loved our condo! It was clean and neat, and looked newly painted. Absolutely no complaints about it at all. We Had a great view if the beach and gulf from the balcony. But our enjoyment of the balcony was marred by the smell of cigarette smoke. The people directly below us were smokers and spent a lot of time smoking on their balcony. I called Brooks and Shorey and was told that smoking on the balcony is permitted. We have stayed at Gulf Dunes several times and never had this problem before. I don't know if all the buildings on the beach allow smoking. But this is something to consider if smelling smoke bothers you as it does me.
Response from Brooks and Shorey Resorts, Inc.:
Thank you for the review. We will pass this information to the proper department, thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are glad you enjoyed your stay & look forward to future reservations in which you can take advantage of the return customer discount.

Great location, Incredible views 2021-12-18
By: Anonymous Trip Date: 2021-11-23
We had a wonderful time at 505 Gulf Dunes. It was one of the cleanest places we’ve ever stayed, the location is excellent, and the views can’t be beat. Brooks and Shorey were wonderful to work with......they even let us change our reservation to a different location when we found out the building of our original rental was going to be undergoing extensive maintenance during our stay. We would absolutely rent this unit again.
Response from Brooks and Shorey Resorts, Inc.:
We appreciate you taking the time to review your stay with us. We are so pleased to hear that your stay was so enjoyable and that you will be back again soon, please do not forget your return guest discount.

Great View! Cute & clean condo! 2021-10-27
By: Anonymous Trip Date: 2021-10-09
Our check in was delayed, but due to covid, it was understandable.
Pros. The condo was cute and the view was fabulous!
Cons. It would be nice if the code to your room and the code to the pool and beach were the same. The kitchen had too many various dishes and utensils. Nothing matched. My daughter stayed in the West building, and they constantly had issues with the code at the pool/beach not working.
Response from Brooks and Shorey Resorts, Inc.:
Thank you for the review & recommendation. Thank you for letting us know as it will help us to make this unit better for our future guests. We will address the code issue with HOA . We look forward to future reservations in which you can take advantage of the return customer discount.

Picture Perfect! 2021-08-02
By: Anonymous Trip Date: 2021-07-26
We had a wonderful trip! The property was gorgeous and well maintained. The view of the beach is spectacular, on Wednesday night, the fire works show from the Boardwalk was so much fun. Many people also sat on the beach to watch. It was a short drive to Destin, so it was easy to get around. We stayed in the east building and the tent and chairs set up start in front of our building at 8 so get there early for a spot on our side of the property. We only used one excursion, wish I had scheduled it earlier to get the day/time that worked best for us. But it was still great fun on the Cattywampus. I loved how they called us prior to check in to make sure we knew how to get into the property and had all the information we needed, we really appreciated that. We will be back!
Response from Brooks and Shorey Resorts, Inc.:
Thank you for taking the time to review this unit. This is a wonderful unit and we're so happy you were able to enjoy it! Hope to see you back soon!

This was our 1st time visiting Fort Walton and we can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay. The room was great it was perfect for our family of 4. We loved the view and the fact that the beach wasn’t crowded. We also loved that you could walk across the street to a restaurant and could walk a get ice cream every night. We will definitely be returning in the future!
