Couldn't have asked for a much better location and the view from the balcony was great. Acces to the beach was amazing and the coordination with local adventures made it really easy to do the things we wanted (at a discounted rate)!

Brooks and Shorey were very easy to work with. there was a mechanical issue with the room we originally reserved, but Brooks and Shorey contacted us and placed us in a comparable room. This was done smoothly and when we arrived all was well. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and looking out at the ocean sunset.

We love Okaloosa Island and stayed in this condo for 5 days in October. The whole process from the time I booked it was seamless. The property managers were great to work with and were very accommodating. The unit is an older one and could use a few cosmetic updates mostly in the bathrooms but it was clean and great functionally and had everything we needed. It is one of the largest 2 bedroom units I have seen and had great furnishings. The balcony is huge and offered beautiful views. The beds were very comfortable. The beaches weren’t crowded and of course amazing! This location is close to shopping, restaurants, etc. The Surf Dweller was quiet and seemed family oriented. We would definitely stay here again.

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: Best one I’ve stayed in so far! Loved the view and privacy from the top floor. The unit is older and definitely needs some updates, especially in the showers/bathtubs, and the air unit was noisy but overall great place. Just a little over a mile from the fishing pier so definitely within walking distance. I also like that this unit had a reclining couch and loveseat. That should be standard in all condos but just my opinion. Elevators also need some work. The elevators were slow to respond and sometimes we had to press buttons multiple times before it would move. I would stay here again though!

We got to the property and there was supposed to be a parking pass in the room which wasn't there. Went to HOA building which closes at 5 and check in is also at 5, so you cannot talk to anyone. Got in the unit and there was no towels, washrags, shampoo, conditioner, soap, etc. Check out time is 10am and they were at the door at 10:01 am.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: While myself, my children, my mother & husband go on vacation each year (typically cruises) this year was the first time in my life that my dad came also. With him he brought my late sisters children. In total we had 4 boys 3,5,7&14 and 4 adults. This was also our first time to the island. Y’all, it was beautiful. The weather was COLD for this Mississippi family at a crisp “beach 60*” we spent most of our time in the condo because of this. This unit was the BEST floor plan I’ve ever stayed in. The balcony is huge. The kitchen is very spacious, as is all areas of this unit. The proximity to target & Publix is PERFECT for our last minute trip for board games and winter clothes lol. The other residents in this condominium were very nice and we enjoyed meeting and talking to everyone as they are all very friendly. The heated pool was a nice surprise for our kids so they did get to enjoy a bit of outdoor activity. We have found our new forever condo. We will never stay anywhere else if we can help it. The couches are big and roomy- the master bed is like a cloud!!! We had a wonderful, cold, spring break in this property. We can’t wait to come back. Also- do yourself a favor and eat breakfast at chicken and egg!!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was 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 booked Surf Dweller 411 in 5-2023 . We were contacted 1-2024 & told due to walkway renovations, we needed to be moved. (Never saw walkway reno while there) #709 as “comparable” to what we had with 411.The pictures Brooks & Shorey sent us of 709 looked VERY dated compared to 411. I also saw through the link that was sent, 709 was close to $1,000 cheaper than what we paid for Surf Dweller 411 on AirBnB. I asked that we be reimbursement the difference bc we paid more for a nicer condo that we no longer can have. We were told no (only $10 refund). Views were unreal. The beach access, umbrella/chair included was a major perk! Beds were comfy.But we were so disappointed in the quality of the condo. Carpet stained, dirty looking & old. We didnt eat at the table bc the chair cushions were gross with food stains. Bedroom patio glass was very cloudy and unclean. Living room patio door was also very cloudy and dirty. One of the closet doors by main bedroom had a brown splatter on it. The trim along the doors were dirty from fingers touching it repeatedly. Sprinkler in laundry rm hung down too far & couldnt open door all the way. No flexibility from B&S for reimbursement after move which was a significant downgrade than the original rental.The elevator in the middle was down all week due to work being done around the around so the only options were the two elevators on each side of the building. However, it would just depend on chance of they would be working or not that day. We had to take the stairs to and from the 7th floor several times due to the elevators being out and people waiting to see if they’d come back on.We loved the area, loved the amenities that came with the rental with Xplorie/rental, the view was by far the best thing about this condo and that was breathtaking. We are fortunate for that. But will likely be looking elsewhere for future Fort Walton stays.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The only issue we had with surf dweller number 709 was that there was a definite odor when we walked in on day one. Brooks and Shorey management was very kind to bring us some air freshener plug-ins. It was clean. The beds were comfortable. The view was great. The beach service was great. The kitchen was well stocked. There are no ceiling fans but they had portable fans in the closets. Check in/out was easy. I wouldn’t recommend solely based on the odor.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our 3rd time to Okaloosa Island and 1st time to surf dweller 709. We absolutely loved the condo and the beautiful emerald waters. The beds were extremely comfortable for all party’s! Master bed was soft and squishy just how we like it. The two beds in other room were a bit firmer but perfect for those family members. The pillows we’re a mix of firm and smooshy! The headboard on master seemed to be broken. But didn’t hinder our stay. The condo seemed a bit old and worn, but still beautiful. The washer and dryer were old and should probably be replaced. The vent on outside I don’t think has been cleaned by out ever which could be a fire hazard. We cleaned it out while we were there. The beautiful view from balcony was astonishing! The patio furniture could use some updating. Maybe with taller stool type lounge chairs to see over the rail when sitting. Or a mixture maybe. And def anew table. As the current one is rusting out. The elevator certification expired in 8/2021. Which really needs to be addressed. But it was ok. Overall we rate this condo a 100 out of 10 and would definitely visit again!
