Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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: Generally good, except for the noise getting the outside ready for painting in Jan. Also, the carpet was dirty and stained but, I guess it is going to be replaced.

Great spot on the beach

Loved this location. It was directly on the beach, which means lots of relaxing time on the balcony watching the waves. It was convenient to grocery stores, some really good restaurants and shopping at the outlet mall. My only complaints are that the pillows were not very good and the kitchen could use some new coffee mugs. The unit was very quiet and the one bed we slept in was super comfortable. The shower had great water pressure. I would stay again if I returned to Okaloosa..

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This Condo was well furnished with everything we needed. Plenty of room and storage areas. We really enjoyed the huge balcony. And being on the fifth floor was perfect for enjoying the view and sound of the ocean. I wish that the telescope in the photographs had been operational, but sadly it was not. And we were surprised that there were no curtains in the living area. But we did enjoy or stay and would stay here again.

Nice time

Property staff work hard to keep the property clean. The building is a bit older but the unit was nice. Would have appreciated more specific directions for operating the TVs. We couldn't get the TV in the master bedroom to work. The pool was nice option when the ocean current was too strong.

First time to Okaloosa Island

This property was very clean and seemed private even though it is a condo. The balcony was very large and private directly facing the beach. We loved leaving the patio doors open with just the screens so we could listen to the waves of the ocean. The bed was very comfortable and the condo was large. The first two days we were there, it rained so we had to stay inside. We were very grateful that this condo was so homey since we were stuck inside! The only thing we were disappointed with is the kitchen is not well stocked with bowls or pans. There was also not dish detergent. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay at the Surf Dweller again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great condo Kitchen could use couple of things, a large pot to boil shrimp, only small saucepans. Also only a few wine glasses and coffee mugs, had to keep washing those by hand for next use. Brooks and Shorey terrific to rent from. Loved our complimentary beach chairs and umbrella. Devin, our very personable beach attendant had ours set and reserved for us each day and gave us lots of info on places to eat, etc. Our condo combination didn't unlock our unit when we first arrived. Brooks and Shorey had someone there in five minutes to correct the problem. Great service and communication with our rental process.

Nice location, unit needs some work

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed for a week and in that time I was locked out 4 times. The code worked and the light turned green, it just would not unlock. Management was great and very helpful and on the final lock out they did come and replace the lock. When the AC is running you KNOW IT, sounds like a jet. I did notice passing other units when their AC was on it was much quieter from the outside. This unit is very loud. We had a few issues with outlets not working, in particular the master bedroom where the tv is plugged in, that did not work. The hall bath tub filled with water when you take a shower and then if you want to take a bath the stop did not work and it leaked water out. It was a no win with that bathroom. I would suggest bigger pots in the kitchen other wise forget making even pasta. I would return to Surf Dweller just not this one.

We had an amazing time at this property! It was so nice, even better than the pictures showed. Very clean and plenty of space for our family of six to enjoy a 4 night stay. Beach service was super convenient and the view of the ocean from my bed was to die for! We would definitely stay here again.

Best so far

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed with Brookes and Shorey every time we go to Florida and have been searching for the perfect condo for us booking a different place every time. But this may be our new place. Bedrooms were incredibly spacious. Loved the wine cooler. All the furniture was clean and neat. Probably best furniture of any stay. Beds were the most comfortable we have had. Loved the blackout curtains in the master bedroom. The gym was adequate. Best beach service for sure we have had at any stay. Four elevators and lots of carts to take stuff to the room when loading and unloading. Dining table chairs were comfortable. Large kitchen. I would only change a few things that simple maintenance would fix. None of these were huge issues as I did not report them so it didn’t impact our stay. Several lights were out in the condo but the light from the balcony made it fine. The fridge was uneven. It leans to the right and swings open hard which you can tell by the marks on the trim to the laundry door. There is no corkscrew for wine. Dryer only has two drying options. Would update it. Tons of entertainment but we couldn’t find the dvd remote so we couldn’t play Wii. I would also add fans to the patio. Electrical is there for it but was probably taken down in the recent balcony remodel.
