Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

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 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 The overall accommodations were just "ok" though as much of the kitchen and other rooms were very outdated.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!

Gulf Dunes 505 Amazing Views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: 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.
