First time renting a condo for our beach vacay. It met all our needs, felt very homey. The location is perfect...close to restaurants, shops, and of course some of Florida's most beautiful beaches. This will be a yearly destination for us!

We spent 5 nights at Gulf Dunes 505 and overall happy with our experience. Unit was clean and ready for us and had just about everything we needed. Our only complaint is the mattress, it needs to be replaced as its very uncomfortable (older traditional inner spring mattress); we like a firm mattress, but this was bad, this is the only reason we would not book this unit again. Brooks and Shorey was great to work with, responsive to questions.

Reviewer Comments:
The location of the condo to the beach is perfect, and the rental company customer service and communication is amazing! There were a lot of amenities and perks that came with the rental to help make it a great vacation! The room was clean and check in/out was easy as well. The overall accommodations were just "ok" though as much of the kitchen and other rooms were very outdated. There did appear to be something that looked like black mold (though I am certainly not stating that as a certainty) around the ceiling, especially in the bathroom and quite a bit of rust on air vents, etc. Other than those minor things we really enjoyed our stay at Gulf Dunes!

Always a great experience with Brooks and Shorey! We had a great week! The unit wasn’t bad but needs a deep cleaning in the off season. The balcony tile floor and furniture need a deep clean as well. The owners need to look at the kitchen cookware and dishes. We were very disappointed as we had to purchase cookware to use while we were there as what few pieces we found aren’t in any condition to use. Just need to stock kitchen with basic cooking equipment. Overall the unit is pleasant and the views are amazing.
Very nice and quiet place enjoy my stay very much!

It was a great place to stay and would definitely stay there again! Beds were comfortable and the pull out couch was comfortable. Perfect place to stay with 4 people!
Great location. Love that the beach is not overcrowded and that our chairs and umbrella are included in the rental. Unit was the perfect size. Weather was PERFECT. Dan and Elle (who put out chairs and umbrellas) were awesome and so friendly. Very hard workers!
Well maintained property with easy check in. All basic amenities provided. Would definitely rent again.

For a family who likes to spend a lot of time at the beach, the location of this room was perfect. We liked to go back to the room for lunch and it was so easy to get to. The condo was clean and having the washer dryer combo was great.

This was one of the best vacation beach rentals I've stayed at! Looks exactly like the photos! Beach chairs and umbrellas are a plus! Floyds restaurant on the beach is fabulous!
The unit had everything we needed. The view was spectacular. Everything worked well. The washing machine and ice maker were loud (so don't use when sleeping). I plan to stay here again.
