Best so far

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: We have stayed with Brookes and Shorey every time we go to Florida and have been searching for the perfect condo for us booking a different place every time. But this may be our new place. Bedrooms were incredibly spacious. Loved the wine cooler. All the furniture was clean and neat. Probably best furniture of any stay. Beds were the most comfortable we have had. Loved the blackout curtains in the master bedroom. The gym was adequate. Best beach service for sure we have had at any stay. Four elevators and lots of carts to take stuff to the room when loading and unloading. Dining table chairs were comfortable. Large kitchen. I would only change a few things that simple maintenance would fix. None of these were huge issues as I did not report them so it didn’t impact our stay. Several lights were out in the condo but the light from the balcony made it fine. The fridge was uneven. It leans to the right and swings open hard which you can tell by the marks on the trim to the laundry door. There is no corkscrew for wine. Dryer only has two drying options. Would update it. Tons of entertainment but we couldn’t find the dvd remote so we couldn’t play Wii. I would also add fans to the patio. Electrical is there for it but was probably taken down in the recent balcony remodel.

Ten Day Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: This Condo was well furnished with everything we needed. Plenty of room and storage areas. We really enjoyed the huge balcony. And being on the fifth floor was perfect for enjoying the view and sound of the ocean. I wish that the telescope in the photographs had been operational, but sadly it was not. And we were surprised that there were no curtains in the living area. But we did enjoy or stay and would stay here again.

Nice location, unit needs some work

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: We stayed for a week and in that time I was locked out 4 times. The code worked and the light turned green, it just would not unlock. Management was great and very helpful and on the final lock out they did come and replace the lock. When the AC is running you KNOW IT, sounds like a jet. I did notice passing other units when their AC was on it was much quieter from the outside. This unit is very loud. We had a few issues with outlets not working, in particular the master bedroom where the tv is plugged in, that did not work. The hall bath tub filled with water when you take a shower and then if you want to take a bath the stop did not work and it leaked water out. It was a no win with that bathroom. I would suggest bigger pots in the kitchen other wise forget making even pasta. I would return to Surf Dweller just not this one.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great condo Kitchen could use couple of things, a large pot to boil shrimp, only small saucepans. Also only a few wine glasses and coffee mugs, had to keep washing those by hand for next use. Brooks and Shorey terrific to rent from. Loved our complimentary beach chairs and umbrella. Devin, our very personable beach attendant had ours set and reserved for us each day and gave us lots of info on places to eat, etc. Our condo combination didn't unlock our unit when we first arrived. Brooks and Shorey had someone there in five minutes to correct the problem. Great service and communication with our rental process.

Great spot on the beach

Loved this location. It was directly on the beach, which means lots of relaxing time on the balcony watching the waves. It was convenient to grocery stores, some really good restaurants and shopping at the outlet mall. My only complaints are that the pillows were not very good and the kitchen could use some new coffee mugs. The unit was very quiet and the one bed we slept in was super comfortable. The shower had great water pressure. I would stay again if I returned to Okaloosa..

Perfect

We had the best time at this condo. The balcony was huge and plenty of space with a perfect view. We saw dolphins one evening swimming by. Condo was very clean and comfy. Could use some updated kitchen items/dishes but we ate out every night so it wasn’t a big deal to us at all. Customer service with property management company was the best and they even printed out some docs for us at the office that we forgot we needed prior to leaving town to drive down for our stay for no charge. We got to our condo 3 hours early and they called at 1pm and let us know it was ready and we were able to start enjoying our vacation (please note this is not always typical or able to happen, but we were very thankful!). I would definitely stay here again!
