The Palms 405 - Sea La Vie Vacation Rental | 2 Kings

Late Summer Getaway 2021-09-06
By: Anonymous Trip Date: 2021-08-28
While we had to deal with torrential downpours and sustained winds from Hurricane Ida, we ended with great weather the last few days. Our condo was the perfect spot to watch the power of the storm and the beauty of the beach and ocean. The condo was well equipped with everything we needed. We had a wonderful time and hope to return again soon. The communication with the rental agency was great. Thanks for a carefree rental experience.
Response from Brooks and Shorey Resorts, Inc.:

Our experience was very easy. A tropical storm was in the forecast at our arrival time and we are kept well informed on the status of our room and our arrival time. Our condo was ready well before we arrived. Our unit was neat, clean and spacious for our family of 4. We would definitely stay there again and we will continue using Brooks and Shirley as we have for several years now.

We loved the rental at the Palms. The condo was clean and well kept the beach was at our fingertips. We were very close to good food, shopping and fun adventures. This was not our first trip to Fort Walton and we seek out this unit again.

Great stay in a great condo! 2021-05-10

We have stayed at a number of different condos in this same complex and this one is by far the best. The condo was very clean, had an incredibly well stocked kitchen for meal preparation, well decorated a an end unit. No complaints on the condo and the realty company was fantastic to work with. Only dissatisfaction was with the beach chair service as the rep did not manage the chairs/umbrellas very well and if you went up to your room or for a walk for a few minutes, since someone wood crab your chair set up. A bit frustrating especially when you’ve purchased an additional chair and umbrella set up for a very high price. There is also the continuing issue with the hotel’s guests across the parking lot using the condo facilities, pool, grills, and other parts of the condo property.These are minor things as the overall stay was great!
Response from Brooks and Shorey Resorts, Inc.:
Thanks for the review! Glad to hear that you were able to stay in this adorable end unit! We will pass on your concerns about the beach service and the use of the property by others on to the appropriate individuals; unfortunately, however, this is not a Brooks and Shorey issue. We hope to see you again though!

Beautiful Location 2021-03-22
By: Rick S. Trip Date: 2021-03-13
We loved our stay, it was a great location and had a great view. I am glad that we went in March and not later in the year, the A/C unit struggled to keep the condo cool when it was 70 degrees out so I can imagine how hot it would have been in the summer. The unit needs updating, but it was clean and comfortable. my kids complained that the guest room beds were not comfortable, but I had no complaints with the master bedroom bed. It was located a little further down the island, but that was nice, the beach was not crowded at all and we had a blast!
Response from Brooks and Shorey Resorts, Inc.:
We are happy to hear that your family had a blast! It is a great, not crowded location year round. Thanks for mentioning the A/C - we will sure check that it works properly.

Excellent location, and without the crowds 2020-10-13

The Palms is an excellent condo and we've never had a bad stay.

Unit 405 is nice and clean, but could do with some upgrades. The living room TV has an incredible amount of burn-in to the point where it's almost unwatchable, and a Blu-Ray or DVD player in the living room would be a nice addition. (We were there for the beach, but rainy days do happen. :))

As always, the property management folks were excellent and the location just can't be beat. We had a great time!
Response from Brooks and Shorey Resorts, Inc.:
Thank you for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay at The Palms. We will check the TV and pass your suggestions on to the owner. We hope to see you again soon.

Beautiful room, getting to it with a broken elevator not so much 2020-07-14
By: Christy H. Trip Date: 2020-07-05
The condo itself was perfect, very clean and beautifully decorated with gorgeous views. Kitchen had everything we needed, plenty of room for our large family to hang out in the same area. The ONLY bad part was the broken elevator that was never worked on a single day in the 7 days we spent there....Not an enjoyable time having to drag luggage for 6 people up the stairs, then having to hike back up them every single time you went out or to the beach. The elevator working should not be optional, nobody wants to spend thousands of dollars for their once a year vacation and have to haul all your beach stuff and luggage up stairs. Also, with the coronavirus being as prevalent as it was in FL, I never saw anyone cleaning or wiping doors or hand railings in the common areas of the building during our stay.
Response from Brooks and Shorey Resorts, Inc.:
Thank you for your review! We too are upset about the elevator issue; but we unfortunately do not have any control over this since it is an HOA issue. Please note we did however try to send out notifications via email to all guests prior to arrival and we will pass your cleaning concerns onto the HOA also.

By: RALEIGH S. Trip Date: 2019-06-01
THE CONDO WAS FABULOUS, VERY COMFORTABLE AND FULL OF SUNLIGHT (I WAS HAPPY I BROUGHT MY NIGHT EYE MASK). THE KITCHEN IS A TIGHT FIT BUT WORKABLE, POOL WAS SMALL BUT ALL IN ALL WE WERE THERE FOR THE BEACH AND SERENE LOCATION. SO IT WAS GREAT!
Response from Brooks and Shorey Resorts, Inc.:
Wonderful!!! The Palms Condos is the perfect spot for the true beach vacationers looking to enjoy the Gulf and peaceful! We appreciate your business with us and we hope to have you back in the future.

Memorial getaway 2019-06-03
By: Shannon M. Trip Date: 2019-05-26
Breathtaking views from the kitchen to the living room to the master bedroom and balcony. Awesome location! We love the location this is the third time we have booked with Brooks and Shorey, always worth the money. We enjoyed the beach theme and all the convenient items such as the full kitchen, washer and dryer and the extra beach chairs in the closet. The only thing that could have been better is there was an issue with the sliding glass door. We will for sure be back.
Response from Brooks and Shorey Resorts, Inc.:
Thank you for your great review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to your next visit.

Back for our second stay and loved it again. Condo has gotten a fresh coat of paint since our last visit. It looks amazing. It really brightened up the space. We hope to return again this summer.
