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. ##### Rachel A.

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 The overall accommodations were just "ok" though as much of the kitchen and other rooms were very outdated.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

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. ##### Teresa B.

The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very 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: This is our 3rd or 4th time staying at a Brooks and Shorey property. We have been pleased with their professionalism. I was dissapointed this stay, because even though the unit was nicely decorated and in a great location, it was not as clean as we expected. Upon entering the unit we encountered a very unpleasant musty odor that remained the entire time of our stay. It was less noticeable when the air conditioner was turned to a cooler temperature but never completely gone. Not sure what the source of the smell was-rug, vents, couch, etc. The latch going out on the balcony would just fall off when locking/unlocking the balcony door. We could put it back on, but it needed to be replaced. The balcony looked like it had not been cleaned since winter with the door facings needing to be wiped down to get rid of black accumulated during the winter. The floor of the balcony had residue left over from winter. The deck just needed a thorough cleaning. Also, one of the deck chairs had a slat missing. I'm sure the owners would like these items attended to by the management company. I personally am not interested in renting Unit 505 again because of the above stated issues, but we would rent again from Brooks and Shorey and are planning to return in September to a different property also maintained by them. In fairness to Brooks and Shorey, we did not complain about the issues we encountered, but it is doubtful they would have been able to address them during our stay since it wpuld have required time. ##### Tamara P.
