Excellent beachfront stay

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 was the perfect place for our family of 5. We loved the easy walk to the beach and the inclusion of the beach chairs. We had fun at the pool, tennis courts and volleyball net too. I think this might be one of the only places on the beach with a net! As for the room - also perfect, spacious, clean, organized and with everything you need. Love that it’s right across from mini golf and stewbys, too! Thanks for an awesome vacation! We will be back!

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 location of the condo was very convenient and the view was amazing. Did have a couple of complaints though such as the AC would only work half the time, the area rug in the living room was very dirty so your feet would be black afterwards. We had problems with the sliding glass door opening as well.

We were very pleased with the condo. It was clean and had everything we needed for our long weekend. We loved being able to see the Gulf from our room. During our stay only one elevator was working so that did cause long waits but that was the only issue we had.

Clean and well kept

My husband and I took his parents with us and our children for a spring break getaway. I believe this is the first vacation condo/ house we have rented that had no complaints from my mother in law about cleanliness issues! The little restaurant across the street is great and it’s within walking distance of the Gulfarium and Boardwalk, which is a plus. Great stay!

Great stay

My mother, husband, and I stayed here for an "alternative" Thanksgiving this year and it was perfect. Everything was as we expected it to be. Coming from a more restrictive state, we were a little hesitant visiting during the Covid-19 pandemic since Florida has so few rules - but Publix and Wal-Mart both required masks and most people complied. Since we mostly stuck around the condo, golfed, and walked on the beach, we didn't feel that our Covid risk was increased at all.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was updated and clean! Brooks and Shorey were easy to work with. We have stayed at Gulf Dunes many times, and it is a nice complex. The master bed had a very firm bed, which I am sure some people love. We went and bought a topper to use with it, which helped. But it was still too firm for us, unfortunately. But we did love the condo! Thanks for letting us stay!

The view in the units and the closeness of it on the beach. The resort is quite and not a lot of people. This is our 8th year to stay at this resort. All but one year was fabulous. The unit had bugs but all other years we have stayed was perfect. I will return again. One suggestion the only thing missing on these units is a hot tub.

This was the most well-stocked unit I’d been in. It had Very Comfortable furniture. Nicely decorated- not overly beachy. Dan, the beach chair man, was super nice and informative about storms coming. My out-of-state guests were first time visitors and had a great time.

Great Rental for a Christmas Holiday

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 rental was everything we wanted for the season. The unit rated a 10 in my opinion for layout and amenities. We love this location as it is away from the hustle of Destin yet easily accessible. Alliances were up to date and the cookware was useable which is not often the case. I probably wouldnt rent at the height of beach season as is right above the pool and would get quite noisy. I would definitely recommend this unit and will request it again for a great winter vaca to the beach.
