Perfect Location on Okaloosa Island

I'm torn writing this review. I feel like I'm letting a secret out that Gulf Dunes is the perfect location on this stretch of the Gulf Coast. This is one of, if not the one, least crowded stretches of the beach. And the beach is pristine. On top of it, Gulf Dunes is by far the best deal for the money on the Gulf Coast. Excellent property, great units, great location, can't go wrong! Selfishly I hope you don't believe me.

Fall Break

The condo was exactly what we needed and were looking for. It was cozy, clean and in a great location. The kitchen was stocked with everything that you would need to cook meals in the room. The family room was decorated nicely (modern) and having 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms allows you to have the extra space that you need to spread out and have your own area. We absolutely love the beach and it is always nice to have the 2 complimentary beach chairs. (The chair guy is super helpful and friendly) The patio furniture was also nice, clean and modern. The condo is in a great location. You can walk to the pier; a few restaurants and the Publix grocery store is right across the bridge. There were a few minor cosmetic things that needed love in the room. I would say they will be upgraded soon in the off season. This did not affect our stay. Overall, it was a great trip and we are looking forward to returning.

The Gulf Dunes was a great family friendly place to stay. The Sunset Resort Rentals folks were quick to answer any questions. We called about a patio door and they sent someone that day. It was easy to book and pay. Thanks, Rhonda and Sheila!

Highly recommend Gulf Dunes 217 condo! The condo was clean and we had plenty of room. The view was amazing. The pool was very close and so was the beach. My parents who have a hard tome walking distance were able to go to the beach and pool each day! We cooked breakfast in condo every morning. The cookware was nice! We did have a small issue with the sliding glass door and made a phone call. They immediately had a repairman out to look at it. The people with Sunset Rentals were great to work with! I'm glad we found this nice beautiful condo for our family vacation. Our family vacations each year have always been in the panhandle and this is our favorite condo!

Spring break 2024

The high rise is on the beach with a small dune between the water and building. The walk to the beach is short and the sand is beautiful. Reserved chairs and umbrella was nice and the workers were friendly. Plenty of local restaurants a short drive away or easy walk down the beach. Master bedroom was nice and comfortable. My 3 teen girls shared the other two rooms without too much fighting. It was good to have 3 bathrooms for my family.

Great stay !

Property was exactly as advertised, and the beach was beautiful. The condo was in great shape, and despite some previous negative reviews that I read about cleanliness, the place was very clean and bright. Amenities were great, restaurants and grocery were all within about mile, and Destin is just a short trip away. Definitely will try to stay here again !

Condo needs major deep clean

Don't let photos deceive you. The room looks nice in photos. Upon further inspection,it was filthy. Overall: All of the floors had to be reswept. They were covered in sand. It was evident they had not been swept or mopped. The mirrors in the main living area were streaked terribly. It looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a very long time. The glass door leading to the covered balcony was also nasty. There were so many handprints and smudges on the walls and doors that just need to be wiped down good. The first room to the right had dust on the furniture and under the furniture. The floors were so dirty, I didn't want to take my shoes off. The bathtub leaked into the floor during each use. (It was not due to the shower curtain being used improperly, it was inside the tub with each use.) The floor had to be wiped after each shower. The mirror on the wall was smudged with finger prints. The bedroom to the left was about the same state as the other. That bathroom had a dirty sink. The shower had dirty sand in it from previous renter. The floors were dirty in these two rooms as well. The main bath and bedroom were ok other than the floors and glass doors. The kitchen was clean other than the floors and the pantry door. The living area was clean other than the windows(interior side), mirror wall, and floors. The pull out sofa was full of crumbs. The room was located in a nice beach side resort with nice pools and decent beach access. Parking was great and no issues. Resort was easy to get in and out of. Employee that I spoke with on the phone after booking was very nice and helpful. The only downfall was cleanliness. I would not stay here again.

Lovely condo

This condo was perfect in every way. The decor was calming and perfectly tuned to a beach setting. Everything from the furniture, dishes, cutlery, pots and pans, etc were new and of good quality which we definitely appreciated. The rooms are spacious. There is a bathroom for each bedroom which is perfect when having a few guests. The furniture on the balcony was great as we could see over the railing and enjoy the view of the gulf. Gulf Dunes is a very well maintained building. The pool, the outrageously beautiful beach, the spectacular sunrises and sunsets are all part of the experience at Gulf Dunes. We've already reserved this condo for next year!

Amazing Gulf front condo!

This property exceeded our expectations! The view of the Gulf was amazing and it was nice to sit on the patio to take it all in. Watching the dolphins swim was a highlight for sure! The condo was well stocked and had everything we needed for our 8 night stay. It was nicely decorated with comfortable beds and furniture. The location was perfect as it was in a quieter area than Destin yet just a short drive away if you wanted to head out and explore. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this amazing property!
