SD 712: Wave Whisperer - Your Front Row Seat to Beachfront Bliss!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Main refrigerator had gone out prior to us arriving. Spare refrigerator was out of the way in a good location. We never were able to get it to cool properly. Had to throw away some food. Talked some friends of ours into booking with B&S same condo and they had no internet or able to watch any TV during their stay. Hoping it didn’t discourage them from future bookings. Both of these issues were out of the normal from all of our previous stays. Everything else was perfect as it always is.

Honest review:When you first walk in there is a distinct musty smell. I’m not sure if this is good or not but we did become nose blind to it after while and didn’t notice it as much. When we got there we noticed that the refrigerator didn’t seem to be working. The guidebook/app says to wait 12 hours for it to cool down and to buy ice to cool food. Thankfully, we waited because the next morning it still wasn’t working. We notified Brooks & Shorey and someone came out and couldn’t fix it. They did arrange for a backup refrigerator to be brought in for us to use. We wound up use DoorDash to get some food in because we (we didn’t rent a car) had to wait for the fridge to cool down. The unit itself is need of a really good scrubbing. It’s a very spacious condo, the furniture and beds are comfortable. The balcony and view are just as pictured.

Surf Dweller has been the best place to stay in Ft. Walton and room 712 has been the best room in the 5 years we've stayed. All have been different rooms just to get a feel for the different view point. Only downfall that i can think of are the elevators being slow...but hey, you're at the beach so whats the rush. Love this place

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very clean, comfortable condo. The location is quiet and easy to get in and out of. It needs a few minor repairs (kitchen faucet, washing machine, slider door) but it did not affect our stay and we notified them after we left so they could fix for the next person. I would rent again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view from the balcony was perfect! Saw lots of dolphins and spent one morning watching a bunch of surfers. Perfect amount of space for a family of 4. The beds were super comfortable and the couch was perfect for family movie nights after a day in the sun. The included chairs and umbrella made beach days perfect. Check in and check out was super easy. The included app for our stay was such a nice touch and super helpful. 100% will return back to this condo! I actually want to know where the couch was bought from because my family now wants the exact one!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a beautiful and comfortable condo. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were comfortable and the couch was spacious. That said, the best part of the place is the amazing deck which had great furniture and stunning views. I also have to give a shout out to Brooks and Shorey’s customer service. Due to a mix-up that was 100% my fault, we arrived at Fort Walton Beach the week before our actual reservation. The staff at Brooks and Shorey worked with us to find accommodations for the week at the last minute and saved our family vacation. I am so grateful to them for that and will continue to use them for all future vacations to this area.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed two other units using Brooks and Shorey and this unit was everything and more. It was much larger than expected. It was a magical stay from the moment we arrived to the second we left. The beach service chair person was fantastic and very accommodating with my daughter who broke her leg prior to our stay and got us a reserved spot everyday. Being peak season it was never crowded. The unit was spacious enough for my daughter to use her crutches with ease. We had the exceptional view obviously all day everyday. The property was gorgeous. The unit had everything we needed and more. I highly recommend booking any beach stay with Brooks and Shorey. We have used Brooks and Shorey for a decade now and have always been blown away by the service, the unbeatable price and the glorious accommodations! It was simply perfect!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed relaxing in the beautiful condo, eating out most dinners, walking along the beach and sitting on the balcony looking over the wonderful gulf. With the maintenance painting and siding as well as other work, the parking spaces were limited. Once, we sat in the lot until someone left and a space was open. It had been advertised as having pickleball so we brought rackets with us. The courts were closed and looked freshly painted. We certainly would come back to this condo which was very comfortable. The staff at Brooks and Shorey (Hannah) were so nice and kind. The maintenance men who corrected a problem with the TV were also very nice and did a good job.

Property was musty. Carpet was worn out and dirty. Dust on wall in master bedroom. Hot water would not come on in 2nd bathroom. Well furnished. Great location. Great beach.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have rented through numerous realtors in Ft. Walton for many years. Brooks and Shorey is by far the most attentive and on spot with their communications about the rental. We have been staying 1-2 times year for the past 50+ years and B&S will now be our go to choice. The FREE beach service is a definite plus!
