    Location, location, location! I'm hesitant to give a review and let the secret out. It's no secret that this property sits on the most beautiful beach in Florida, but it's specific location is one of the least crowded sections of that beach. Convenient to everything and a great facility

    Everything was perfect for our stay on Okaloosa Island. The condo was great and provided everything we needed. Highly recommend staying here and enjoying Okaloosa Island. We loved swimming in the pool and going to the beach and the location is perfect if you want to run to fort Walton or Destin.

    Great spot! We had a wonderful time. Loved the dedicated covered parking spot and the easy access to the pool and beach. The beach tent and chairs were a huge perk. We would totally return to this location.

    We love the location and the fact it has 3 bathrooms. We have rented several times through Sunset Resorts and they are so easy to deal with. Always there to answer our questions and take care of us.

    I'm torn writing this review. I feel like I'm letting a secret out that Gulf Dunes is the perfect location on this stretch of the Gulf Coast. This is one of, if not the one, least crowded stretches of the beach. And the beach is pristine. On top of it, Gulf Dunes is by far the best deal for the money on the Gulf Coast. Excellent property, great units, great location, can't go wrong! Selfishly I hope you don't believe me.

    The condo was exactly what we needed and were looking for. It was cozy, clean and in a great location. The kitchen was stocked with everything that you would need to cook meals in the room. The family room was decorated nicely (modern) and having 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms allows you to have the extra space that you need to spread out and have your own area. We absolutely love the beach and it is always nice to have the 2 complimentary beach chairs. (The chair guy is super helpful and friendly) The patio furniture was also nice, clean and modern. The condo is in a great location. You can walk to the pier; a few restaurants and the Publix grocery store is right across the bridge. There were a few minor cosmetic things that needed love in the room. I would say they will be upgraded soon in the off season. This did not affect our stay. Overall, it was a great trip and we are looking forward to returning.

    The Gulf Dunes was a great family friendly place to stay. The Sunset Resort Rentals folks were quick to answer any questions. We called about a patio door and they sent someone that day. It was easy to book and pay. Thanks, Rhonda and Sheila!

    This was the perfect location. On the 2nd floor, end unit, right by the stairs and close to our car, beach and pool. We couldn't have stayed at a nicer place.

    Highly recommend Gulf Dunes 217 condo! The condo was clean and we had plenty of room. The view was amazing. The pool was very close and so was the beach. My parents who have a hard tome walking distance were able to go to the beach and pool each day! We cooked breakfast in condo every morning. The cookware was nice! We did have a small issue with the sliding glass door and made a phone call. They immediately had a repairman out to look at it. The people with Sunset Rentals were great to work with! I'm glad we found this nice beautiful condo for our family vacation. Our family vacations each year have always been in the panhandle and this is our favorite condo!
