Clean!

I recently had the pleasure of staying in what can only be described as the cleanest condo I’ve ever experienced! The new furniture added a fresh and modern touch, making the condo feel both inviting and luxurious. The kitchen was exceptionally well equipped. One of the highlights was the straight-on view of the beach. The large balcony with new balcony furniture was the perfect spot for morning coffee and evening sunsets. Overall, this condo exceeded all our expectations. If you’re looking for a spotless, well-appointed getaway with stunning beach views, I can’t recommend this place highly enough!

Beautiful clean condo with stunning views

We fell in love with Okaloosa Island and can’t wait to return. The condo was very nice. We would definitely stay at this condo again if just the 3 of us. Very clean, nice balcony view of beach and pier, < 15 min walking distance to boardwalk. Highly recommend this unit.

Outstanding!

This was a spring break getaway to our favorite beach. We have always loved Waterscape but wanted a better view of the ocean this visit. This unit had a perfect view. The condo itself was very clean and perfect for our family. We will absolutely book this condo again in the future. Thank you to the host for a wonderful stay.

Beautiful location if you want to relax, enjoy the gulf and walk the beach. The 6th floor condo was truly a plus with private seating out the door wall to take in the water views and the fantastic sunsets. Definitely will go back - could have stayed longer!!!

It was very nice. Just one procedural matter which was no problem after speaking with property manager. Bathroom shower could use an update to a walk-in. I would definitely go back.

Great place to stay

We had a pleasant stay at Gulf Dunes. The condo was clean and the ability to just walk a short distance to the pool or beach was great. Stewby's across the road is good eats. If you need to have the latest fixtures, marble countertops, etc this isn't the place for you. If you want a clean, comfortable, quiet place to enjoy your beach vacation then this is your place.

The property was amazing. It was updated and had everything we asked for. The view was amazing. The unit was easily accessible to the beach and parking was super convenient.
