About the area: Okaloosa Island is part of a 30 mile stretch of continuous natural sand barrier. The ocean here is typically as clear as any water can be, with an emerald green color unique to this small area. The sands are pure white and powdery, like sugar, and the beaches are kept immaculately clean and safe by wonderful Okaloosa County authorities. There is plenty of fun right here on the island, from putt putt golf, to outdoor grills to fine dining and nightlife. We have a fishing pier just a mile away, which is also the home of the original Gulfarium Dolphin Exhibit. Take the kids to the Gulfarium to see dolphins perform, as well as their friends the walrus, sea lions, and penguins. They'll love it.
Okaloosa Island is located within Fort Walton Beach and near world famous Destin. Destin, a beautiful 10 minute drive to the East, where she will meet you with a picturesque view of the Destin Harbor at Harborwalk Village. Destin is home to the largest private Gulf Fishing Fleet and busiest charter deep sea fishing fleet in the Southeast. If you are interested in good seafood, then just pick one of Destin's many dockside grills for a taste of the day's fresh catch.

We were very pleased with this experience. Best reserved parking spot in the entire condo. The beach chair service inclusion is a great benefit to this rental. The communication and entire experience was very pleasant, and would recommend to anyone seeking a vacation destination.

Great Family Building
We loved our stay in the unit. It wasn't fancy but super clean and everything worked great. The kitchen plates/cups/skillets need some updating and the dishwasher didn't dry the dishes well. I would also request they add towel bars to the smaller bathroom and towel rings to hang the hand towels on. But the sheets were great quality. The bed slept well. Everything was super clean and the covered parking was wonderful We had excellent experiences with the people who put the beach chairs out. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

There were no garbage bags, no toilet paper, no paper towels. There was no bathtub., at all. Pictures had bathtubs. With 2 small children a bathtub is a must and we would not have stayed there if we knew there was no bathtub.

Great stay!
Everything was as advertised and condo was clean. We had a great time and would stay again. My only complaint is that the jets did not work in master bath. With that being said I don't think that part was advertised.

We have stayed on Okaloosa Island for the past 20+ years, each Labor Day week, at a handful of properties. Obviously, we love the location. The layout of Gulf Dunes condos is definitely sufficient for 4 adults and a couple of children. This property could use some updating. There is not ample space to unpack your luggage. When you stay for 9 days, it is difficult to live out of a suitcase on the floor. The towels were close to ragged, ice maker leaked, a couple of the chairs were wobbly and screws would fall out. Overall, this property was average.

Everything was honestly perfect
I definitely recommend Gulf Dunes room 309 at Sunset Resort in Ft Walton. The condo was spotless and the view was amazing! Easy access to the pool and the beach. Covered parking was also nice. The location is great. Shopping and restaurants all within just a Mile or two. We had a great time, we will be back.

Fall Break
We enjoyed the beach front location and the condo's large balcony. We had plenty of sleeping options with multiple bedrooms, T.V's, and mattress sizes. The unit was stocked and all of our vacation needs were met. My only complaint would be the inflexible check in time. We were traveling into a hurricane with 3 children and just wanted to arrive a bit before the storm hit. The best feature was the unit's private laundry room-- a luxurious treat in a beach rental. The beach was wide and the water was warm---we would happily return to Gulf Dunes.
