Welcome to Gulf Dunes Resort, unit 413. (new photos coming soon - see "upgrades" below). This elegant 3 bedroom condominium, with its beach front balcony ocean view, may be perfect for your family. The fifth floor elevation provides seemingly endless views to the east and west along Okaloosa Island. This Gulf Dunes vacation beach rental provides enough space for 8-10 comfortably. Flat Screen TV's in each room make it easy to relax.

The living room adjoins the beach side balcony, which also overlooks the pool. The sofa and chair will seat 4 comfortably with additional nearby seating at the dining table. Carpeted flooring makes a comfortable place for the kids to play. A sizable flat screen TV with digital cable provides entertainment for the whole family.

Gulf Dunes Resort offers guests a getaway experience with spacious tropical grounds, sea dunes, tennis courts, grill area, two pools (one heated October thru March), and ample parking. The beach access does require navigation of stairs as you traverse the sand dunes. The beaches of Okaloosa Island are as pure white as beaches get. The sugary soft sand is found nowhere else in North America, attracting visitors from all areas of the world. Wade in the crystal clear water of the Gulf of Mexico. This stretch of beach is part of Florida's Emerald Coast, stretching from Panama City to Pensacola.

Gulf Dunes is near many of Destin's attractions, such as Destin Harbor, outlet shopping, and many other outdoor activities. Para sailing, snorkeling, scuba diving, go carting, jet skis, dolphin tours, bungee jumping, and water parks are just some of what Destin has to offer.

Overall we had a wonderful stay. The condo was located right on the beach and the heated pool was great for the kids. We also liked the trash shute right outside the front door. We would definitely stay there again.

Great property!

The beach the property is on is private, however if you fly in like we did and don’t rent a car, you will have to Uber anywhere unless you walk, but it’s also not the safest walk due to there being heavy traffic. Also, do not recommend getting a golf cart in the area it’s not worth the money and you can’t go that far. The property itself is nice. There were some technical issues with the tv and the wifi throughout our stay, but it may just have been one maintenance call and it could’ve been fixed. Everything else was great.

Unit was very nice and spacious to fit our large family. Kitchen and good-sized pantry are perfect for cooking large family meals and for extra storage. Balcony is large and outdoor furniture is really nice!!! Beds are really comfy. Pull out sofa in living room is also great and easy to use. Amazing gulf water views. Loved that the condo had 2 big pools we could use. The beach chair set up crew were really awesome and took such good care of our entire group. Honestly just very very happy with our choice to stay here. Was an awesome experience!

Great Vacation Spot

Changed our normal Florida vacation from Indian Rocks to Okaloosa Island. Great beaches with excellent access from condo. Excellent food nearby. Unit had a broken ceiling fan light and the service guy was there immediately to repair. Unit was nice/clean and worked well for 6 of us staying there. Was the 3rd time we've stayed in Gulf Dune and probably more in our future.

Amazing Vacation!

Not much bad to say, especially when the weather was so enjoyable and almost perfect in our eyes! Only three minor downsides...no can opener in the kitchen (everything else you might need/want), WiFi did not function properly (would not let multiple devices to connect at once), and the carpets could use a good cleaning. Other than those minor things, the condo was great for our group of 8 (2 adults, and 6 young adults from 18-24). Will definitely stay here again!

Spring getaway!

Very nice unit. Well stocked with any cooking utensil you might need. Lots of dishes, silverware, and pots and pans. Beds were very comfortable and we all appreciated the dishwasher packets, laundry detergent provide by the host. Would definitely recommend this unit to anyone looking for a great condo experience.

Pleased with the experience

We were overall very happy with the stay. The only problem we had was not being able to connect to the wi-fi. The password would not work. I called and asked for assistance but never received it. Had to use hotspot which had spotty connection and missed an important zoom meeting because of it.

A good stay!

We enjoyed our stay. Unit looked good, except carpet needed cleaning (and probably replacing) badly. Rental Mgr and crew did a nice job cleaning. Entry hallway rug/runner would help reduce carpet wear. Deck furniture was great! Living room couches were newer. Coffee table was missing its top, HOA should strongly encourage all owners to put pads on chairs being moved on tile or hard surfaces. That was the only irritation. Quiet hours were respected. Unit door was right across from the garbage chute and elevator. Not too bad…If a few noises don’t bother you, the unit was great! Overall, Gulf Dunes is well maintained and a nice place to stay.

The condo was very clean & accommodating. The condo is located close to restaurants, grocery stores & plenty of activities for children. The beach view from the balcony was spectacular. We spent a lot of time on the balcony in the early mornings & evenings. The pool was nice but we spent more time on the beach. We would have liked to have more beach chairs included in the cost of the condo. The rental for additional beach chairs for 4 days was over $100,00. Okaloosa Island is so close to Destin for additional adventures. Cannot wait for our next adventure!

Another wonderful beach vacation….

This is the second year in a row that we have stayed at Gulf Dunes and both years we have had a wonderful experience! The condos are nicely stocked with everything you may need, they are well cared for and typically what you would expect for rental properties. The location is close to everything that you would want to do and the views are amazing! We plan on going back next year and intend to stay with the same property.

Condo was just as described! Beautiful views!

Beautiful condo and views! Will definitely stay again. Easy access to beach, grocery and entertainment! The heated pool was a nice bonus. Perfect fit for our family of 7. Absolutely loved the large balcony! There were no beach chairs available in December, however another tenant mentioned that vacationers head to goodwill (she even told me how to find it)🙂, picked up 3 brand new looking chairs and passed them on to another family on our last day with the boogie boards. Everyone in the complex was so friendly!
