We have been coming to Fort Walton Beach and staying at Brooks & Shorey properties for several years now and this unit has by far been our favorite and we would 100% book it again.

We had a great long weekend stay! The room had a wonderful view of both the beach and pool, and was clean and well stocked. The bathrooms could use a little updating, and the bed was a little too firm for my liking. We had easy access to the beach. Overall our stay was very nice and relaxing.

We really liked Islander 3005. The condo was clean, well equipped with everything you would need. The grounds were well kept, the pool was nice and the balcony furniture for your gulf view is undated polywood outdoor furniture which is a big plus for us with the amount of time we spend in the mornings and evenings on the balcony. The staff at Brooks and Shorey go above and beyond to make sure everything is satisfactory during your stay. I highly recommend booking with them. So easy to work with. Looking forward to our next booking with them
