    I like the decor of the condo and it's comfortable. The only thing is the master bedroom bed is very high. If your petite it may be a problem.

    Very nice condo. It accommodated our family of 6 comfortably. The outdoor furniture was the best as we love to sit on the balcony a lot. We love that a beach set of chairs and umbrella were available to us courtesy of the condo. Would definitely recommend

    We started in one unit, but the air conditioning wasn't working. After an uncomfortable first night, we were moved to a different unit (which was a necessary pain). The rental company did everything they could to make our trip a good experience. No one can foresee this type of problem, but Sunset Resort Rentals was wonderful to work with - even giving us a return of one night's rental fee. Overall, it was an excellent vacation!!

    This was our second time staying at Gulf Dunes and the first at this property. We loved it. We had grandparents, parent, a teenager, and two kids. We had enough space for all of us.We loved the balcony. We saw dolphins multiple times while we were enjoying the view. The beach is great. It's not overly crowded. Empty seats were always available when we arrived.

    Fantastic space for the price. Be prepared for a novel of strict rules that may scare you to the extent of not being able to relax (ie. If you stink up the place or lay on top of the bed comforters you may get a $350 fine).

    Overall, our stay was great! It was myself, my husband, and our 4 children ages 4-13. One of the reasons we chose this specific condo was for the number of beds. Each kiddo had their own. The front room where there are twin bunks is not a true bedroom in that it doesn’t have a closet. It’s tiny. It doesn’t have a ceiling fan and gets poor circulation. We had to turn the AC way down at night to get that room cool. That room also doesn’t have curtains. The other bedrooms do. We had to hang blankets over the blinds so it wouldn’t be so bright. It faces the front walk way too so there were lights on all night. The master bedroom doesn’t get great circulation either but it was better than the tiny front room. The light under the microwave doesn’t turn off. It will dim but you can’t turn it completely off. There does need to be some updating. We noticed several loose floor tiles throughout. Living room furniture is older and feels worn and compressed. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware necessary to prepare meals. There’s even a blender! The managers provided plenty of dishwasher and laundry soaps, as well as trash bags. We stayed for 10 days and didn’t have to purchase our own. Views from the balcony were amazing! Dolphins daily!

    Everything about this vacation was easy. Parking was marked, door code was given on time. Room was very clean and beds were so comfortable! Beautiful view from balcony, chair service was flawless and the pool was well maintained. We're a family of 5 and had plenty of room, will be back!
