Jul 3, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful views & secluded beach Overall good stay. Ver y clean and kitchen well stocked. The negatives: The arcade game did not work, balcony door handle was broke and hanging down, and the dryer did not function well, took 2 hrs to dry. The condo seemed to be crumbling as pieces of ceiling falling in underneath parking garage. The positives: great rooftop pool, the staff was responsive in office, new furniture, Xplorie, etc. Would stay again. ##### Becky F. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Doug L.

The balcony is the best on the island. The building is showing its age and could benefit from a spruce up. The pool area is kept clean and is so enjoyable due to the view The WiFi in this unit is spotty however Brooks and Shorey responded immediately to address this. We appreciate the consistent service from the management company!

The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Third day into our stay we woke to the kitchen and hallway flooded with water from the fridge. The ice maker was pouring water. Called the number for maintenance and 30 minutes later they showed. In the meantime I was emptying buckets of water flowing from the ice maker. We had to buy ice to get us through the rest of the week. Also couldn’t get tv in the master to work. Tv in the other bedroom didn’t work either. Water pressure in the master shower wasn’t strong enough to rinse hair in the shower. The other bathroom was a little better so we had to use that one. Had rain a few days so a DVD player would have been nice but did not have one in the unit. ##### A guest from Woodstock, GA This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Dave S. Oct 7, 2024 #### Gulfside 501 Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: None of the ceiling fan lights worked. Had only one light in the guest bedroom. Had to use the closet lights to see. Wi-fi is to sporadic in the master bedroom to use due to lack of signal. Pac-man game only works for one user not two. Almost fell in hall bath tub due to lack of a rubber mat; which I found later under the sink and installed. Hallway bath sink stoppers were so clogged up that I almost didn't get them to spring open after use.There are ants in the kitchen and found ant spray under kitchen sink; so they've been there for awhile.The TV and cable box were unplugged in the guest bedroom. No one from management checked the condition of the condo before we got there and we got there late. This is an older condo but these are things that should have been fixed considering the money we spent to rent. ##### Dave S.

Oct 17, 2023 #### Nice play to stay but lacks personality Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: My sister and I have been coming to Ft Walton for several years now. We try and always stay in 1 of 4 condo complexes due to proximity of Tom Thumb. You don't realize how convenient it is...until it's not! We walk to Tom Thumb everyday, sometimes twice a day. This condo was very nice. But it lacked personality. Furnishings were generic and there wasn't really a beach vibe. The arcade game was a bonus. Maintenance was spot on and there quickly when we needed them. Bedframe in spare bedroom was broken - actually not put together correctly. When we recognized the problem, maintenance came and fixed the same day. Rooftop pool was awesome. Despite having stayed at this complex before, we'd never used the pool. We thought it would be too hot. Quite the opposite. There was a great breeze up there. And the couple times we used, was either empty or maybe 1 other person there. Overall, this was a great condo. But would be even better with some beach decor. ##### Dee Dee S. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent May 1, 2014 #### Incredible view... Rain or Shine! 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: We visited here for our 2014 Spring break and this is the first vacation where my family didn't want to leave! \~ What an incredible location (not too crowded), beautiful 5th floor views with amazingly fresh Gulf air and convenient for a quick drive to the pier for our meals and close enough to spend the day in Destin. What's even better is that watching the rain from the balcony is even amazing \~ Once the weather lifts, all you need to do is go downstairs and you're at the beach! No packing the vehicle with beach things and kids... you're there already with everything you need within walking distance! Love the beachfront location! The beach is the cleanest, softest and whitest we have ever seen... a tractor came around every morning to smooth and clean the debri (if any at all!) I have to give a shout-out to the fella who put out our chairs and umbrella \~ He was helpful and very kind! The only thing we can say as some minor negatives: Video game arcade didn't work (controls didn't respond to direction), the sofas could be updated, and the king bed was too soft for our liking. Otherwise, the condo was clean, decorated in a tasteful manner and had a homey feel to it. Looking back, I can't find any reason why anyone wouldn't want to stay here! This is a great place to stay \~ we'll definitely be back in the area!! This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Andrea N. Jul 6, 2023 #### Great view Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view was great from this room. Room was very clean and very well decorated. We did have some issues but maintenance was there the same day to fix the high priority issue. The door handle to the balcony was broken and when showed to maintenance he said he would have to get the part and fix it. He never came back. The parking is worst if you drive a big vehicle. Parking is under the building and it’s hard to get a full size truck or suv under. The dryer in this unit doesn’t work very good. You have to start the cycle several times before anything is dry. The pool was green looking. Did report that but it never cleared up. We will continue to book with Brooks and Shorey but just won’t stay here. We thought the roof top would be awesome but not when it’s green looking. I know that’s not taken care of by Brooks and Shorey but it plays a part as to if someone wants to stay there or not. Same with parking. ##### Andrea N. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark W.

Sep 29, 2022 #### Unit in need of updates Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: To start this unit has a great view but that is where it stops. First the picture you see on the website is not at all what the unit looks like! All of the appliances are outdated and worn out. The carpet in both bedrooms is so nasty and stained, we were afraid to walk on it without shoes. It is need of a deep cleaning. The furniture is extremely worn. Also beware if you enjoy sleeping on your vacation, every morning at 7:30 the construction on the building outside your bedroom starts! ##### Gary G.

I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Condo was nice. However, Dryer took forever to dry clothes. Sofa bed should not be counted as a bed. It was terrible to even sit on. Rollaway was no better. We had to go out and buy an inflatable mattress. Men’s restroom by pool didn’t work so it was too dark to utilize! ##### Kristina D. D. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Laura A.

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I did call the office 3 times because the arcade game would not work, this is the main reason we choose this unit because the game was a big hit last time & my 4 year old grandson was so excited. We had 2 days that we couldn’t even get on the beach due to weather & double red flags. No one ever came to check the game nor contacted me. I’ve always had the best service with Brooks & Shorey so this was quite the surprise. ##### Laura A. ### 8/10 Good #### Jaycie R.
