Easy Beach/Pool Access

Great one bedroom unit, was perfect for my wife and I and our 3 year old. Wonderfull gulf view from the balcony, and the beach and pool are less than a minute walk away. Umbrellas and chairs were a great amenity and the location is perfect - close to restaurants/shops. Unit was comfortable, decor is nice, and having the washer/dryer was a real bonus.

Perfecto!

Access to the beautiful beach is just what my wife and I wanted. The view from the balcony is fantastic of the emerald waters. We walked the beach every morning and were able to pop up to condo at lunchtime easily from the beach. Condo was comfortable and met our needs. We will definitely come again.

Wonderful time in Ft. Walton!

We had a wonderful time visiting Ft. Walton and staying at Gulf Dunes. We normally take vacation on the July 4th weekend and this was our first trip since I retired so we decided to go before Memorial Day. I would highly recommend it if you have the means. The traffic was light and we could get into all the restaurants with little or no wait. The unit was clean and the view was spectacular. Gulf Dunes is a nice resort to stay at!

Week at the beach

This was our 3rd time visiting and have always stayed at gulf dunes condos. Views are great. Beach is excellent. Chair service is very good. Local People are very friendly. The room is very nice. The owner needs to do some updating on pans and cookware. Aged and pans are worn. A table and chairs on balcony would be awesome to enjoy dinner and the gulf water views. We would stay there again in the future.

Does not have a queen size pull out sofa but did have a blow up bed. Did not have a covered parking space for this condo as advertised but parking was plentiful. Sunset resort was very helpful and responsive. Would rent from them again

Clean but in dire need of care

The unit was clean but from badly needing a new mattress to a complete cosmetic overhaul. This unit is in a prime spot with a great view but you pay top price and I felt like I stayed in a 1970's Motel 6! The owners really need take the time for some TLC! Won't stay again until I see there has been some work done.

Could be better maintained

Unit 214 is in need of a major makeover. You can tell that it needs painting and some modernization. The stove is an old electric stove and the metal rings don’t fit in the stove evenly and it’s hard to cook with the very cheap pots and pans. Everything you need is there but it’s the lowest quality items and the decore is mismatched and just not comfortable. Would not recommend or stay there again. Access to the beach is very easy so that’s a plus. Also for a place that doesn’t allow dogs there sure was a lot of them barking early in the morning.

Good Place To Stay

This unit was perfect for us. It is right on the beach and has good gulf views. There was plenty of room for the two of us but unit can fit up to 6 people. It is a kid friendly unit and building. The unit was pretty clean and in good condition. It has a lived in feeling as there is some paint damage etc. Not a show place if that is what you like but very comfortable. Great if you have kids as you don't have to worry about every move they make. The master mattress was not good for us but that is a case by case thing for people. May be great for you. The rental company was very responsive to issues. AC went out and they had it fixed same day while we were out enjoying our stay. The building management takes good care of pool. It is a great location, close to lots of things to do. Beach was clean and beach service was good. We will stay here again in the future.

Pleasently surprised

We found this resort and room to be a good fit for our family vacation to Ft. Walton. The room was the perfect size for our family of four. The floor level was perfect to view the beach, pool, and surrounding area, not too high which is what we like. The size of the resort and occupancy wasn't crowded at all, which means the elevators weren't always packed or stopped on every floor. It had all the amenities a family would need, a fully equipped kitchen, and double stacked washer/dryer which we used often. The A/C was cold and kept the room comfortable. The living room had a large comfortable recliner and sofa. My only drawback was the bed in the master bedroom, which is in obvious need of replacement. It felt like we were sleeping in a hammock, not comfortable at all. I noticed others had mentioned the bed in other reviews and thought it was replaced and maybe it was but it didn't provide a comfortable night's rest. Sorry, just being honest. Otherwise, everything else was A+
