GD 101: Living on Island Time - Where Every Day’s a Beach Day!

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Gulf Dunnes 101 The Rental was not up to par. Upon entering the tv in the 2nd bedroom cable had trouble connecting throughout the whole stay. 3rd bedroom beds were never laundered in between guest. The Rugs in that room were dirty. The sink in the 2nd bedroom had a slow drain.Yes I’m aware I booked late and received the last condo available I expected it to be totally usable.Also the washing machine was disconnected. No water??‍♀️.As I have booked with you the year before my experience this year was not good.Hoping for a better experience next yearDenise Washington Burgess

My family and I stayed in this condo in July of 2025. We were impressed by the size of the unit! Each bedroom features an en suite bathroom. This worked out wonderfully for our t(w)een daughters. My husband and I appreciated that the master suite is quite a distance from the other two bedrooms (allowing for privacy). The kitchen is fully equipped and we cooked multiple meals each day. Also, the washer and dryer came in handy after long days on the beach. Although you cannot see the beach, we were able to see the ocean with no problem. Personally, I found the sand dunes lovely. We also liked the fact that the unit is on the first level and the bunk beds feature full-sized mattresses. The balcony is large as this is a corner unit. The property managers were very responsive and friendly. The cons of this unit are as follows:-Many of our neighbors smoked. This made our balcony time less enjoyable. It would be nice if this were a non-smoking facility, but that might be impossible to regulate. -There were a few “flying roaches” outside on the balcony and near the front door. I chalked this up to the coastal environment, but I was appalled to find two of the insects in the living room of the unit. -Tiny ants were crawling on the kitchen countertops. -The pool was a bit small, but our tweens loved it.

We had an awesome time and would recommend staying here.

Walking distance to restaurants and the pier. They have standard ammenities such as pools, tennis court, beach vollyball, umbrella/chairs, as well as paddleboards and kayaks for rent. Everything seems to be kept up and nice. The condo had a good layout, comfortable furniture and updated kitchen. There were a couple minor maintenance issues that didn't hinder our stay and I reported at the end. Brooks and Shorey was easy to work with and good with communication. Everyone I dealt with there was very helpful.

I loved the online guidebook. The accommodations were in line with what was represented. Beautiful and plenty of space. Loved the view from our room. Quiet family environment. Planning to visit again next year!!

It was pretty nice, plenty of room. You can not really see the ocean due to the dunes.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: There were six of us. This was perfect for a big group! Clean and loved having all the windows! Great location and the beach was mind blowing! We didn’t have any issues whatsoever! We might stay a couple floors higher next time just to have a better view of the beach but this was a great room!!!

This is a great beach condo. There is plenty of room for a large family and the condo is well supplied with the necessities. The view from the balcony is beautiful and there are provided beach chairs. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance and it’s a short drive to the grocery store across the bridge. I would highly recommend this unit.

We had a great time. They thought of everything one might need. Would definitely stay here again.

Great location for our family. Easy check in. Very clean. Very pleased with our stay!
