Gulf Dunes Resort
Gulf Dunes, Unit 106

Thank you for a great condo stay.   You were great to work with and I will offer your information to anybody I know traveling your way.  J-Lowe.

 

Bob, Thank you for the email.  We really enjoyed the condo and it was just perfect for our needs.  I really appreciated the fact that the condo was so clean.  That is very important in order for me to comfortable. 

We have discussed coming back as much as possible so please put us on your preferred list and send us any specials as they come up.  We have some flexibility with our schedule now that the kids are older.  Again, thank you for the beautiful accomodations. -Dawn

 

I've never stayed in a more beautifully decorated condo.  Everything was in place and in working order, and it was the nicest place I've ever stayed.  Not having to "run around" to check in or out was the best!  We WILL be back!  Thank you so much! - Sheri Hall

 

Hey Bob, We had a great time. We have stayed in several places on the island and this is by far the nicest. Couldn't ask for anything more except maybe room service. Seriously though, I think you will be getting repeat business from us. Do you have a 2 BR at Gulf Dunes? We like to bring our daughter and her children in May/June when school takes summer vacation.

 

 

Gulf Dunes, Unit 202

Bob, We had one of the best trips ever. Your condo (202) fitted our needs to a T.  The screen on the sliding door was the only thing at all that was out of place. Condo (507) was very nice as well, not tricked out as much as 202 but still would stay there again. Can't think of anything that I can suggest to improve anything right now. We WILL be in touch when we are coming back. I am retired so we can go anytime the mood hits us. Please do keep us on your list for last minute "deals". Thanks again -Marvin and Karen Gruber, Florence, AL


Hi Bob, Just a quick note to let you know that we really enjoyed the condo.It's much nicer in person than on the web sight.I can't think of anything that you could do differently to make it any better.We had everything that we needed and we'll remember you when planning our next vacation.Thanks again.Vicki Richardson and family

 

Thank you so very much for sharing your beautiful condo.  My family and I really enjoyed our stay.  The view from the balcony was beautiful.  Thank you for having everything we needed in the kitchen.  I cannot think of a thing you need to do to improve your condo.  We would love to stay there in the future.  Thanks again.  Hope you and your family have a wonderful summer. - Cherie Schexnaydre

 

Thank You, we had an amazing time. Your property was more than we imagined. Everything was very clean and very beautiful. We absolutely plan on visiting Gulf Dunes again. Josette

 

We had an amazing time and the condo was great.  The condo met all of our needs and we had plenty of room and the view was incredible. We will definitely be returning next summer. Thank you, Alicia and family

 

Gulf Dunes, Unit 114

Bob, Thank you and your wife very much.  We had a great time.  The condo was exactly as described on line.  It was great.It felt like home away from home...I have no recommendations, we had everything we needed.  We appreciated you all renting to us, we had a really great relaxing time and really hated to leave.  We definately will try to come again as we found many things we would have liked to have done and just ran out of time.  Take care and again, many thanks - Sherry Wright.  PS  I signed your book on the entry table.
 

We had an Awesome Time !!  Your Condo is Beautiful - We will definitely be back  Thank You

 

Bob,  We enjoyed our brief stay at your Condo.  Everything was just fine for the two of us.  I've never been there when the weather was more beautiful, or the water as clear.  We would be glad to contact you again should we get the opportunity in the near future. -Thanks again, - William and Faye Crews

 

Hey Bob thank you once again for opening up your lovely condo to us. We had a really great time. Everything we needed and more was right there. Location of the condo was great. Decoratoin of the condo I commend you, it was very happy and alive (but can we have the bed haha) We slept so good. I hope things were taking care of. We would love to stay again. We also would like a list of the other condos you have. We would like to start a tradition and stay in the area wether Destin or Oakaloosa. The beaches were fantastic, but where did all the shells go? I collect shells from each beach I visit and then I get sand from the beach and make an arrangement in a nice glass bowl. We found very little shells. Again thank you so much. I need to know did you get my voicemail about having to leave early and not having the number to call? We want ot make sure evrything was taking care of and its all good. Please let me know if there is anything else we need to do.

Bob,  We had the best time this year! David turned 50 and we celebrated on the beach with a limbo party/luau. We come down with friends, which makes it all the more special. Our friends stayed in condo #616 which was really nice also. The condo is always to our satisfaction. Hope to rent from ya next year! Thanks, - Denise Harbison

 

The condo was very nice and suited our expectations. We were very pleased with the condo. We may return on future trips, and if we do, we will certainly get in touvh with you!  Thanks again! David & Danna Young

 

I want to say that your unit for our family was accommodating. The condo was very clean and tidy. The items in the condo was well matched for a party of 6 (with 3 small children) and was maintained very well. The TV in the master bedroom wouldn't turn on at the end of the trip (which I mentioned on the check out line). We would like to plan a trip possibly next year! We had a great time.  Thanks,  Steve White



Gulf Dunes, Unit 216

Bob, we really enjoyed the property and will recommend it to many of our friends in the Springield, MO area.  We hope that the future will allow us to utilize it agan.  Sincerely, - Scott Kirch

 

Our stay was great.  The only suggestion I have is to get some bar stools for the breakfast bar so there is more seating.

 

Bob,  We had a wonderful week in your condo. It was very clean and had everything we needed.  The only complaint was the ocean was pretty murky with seaweed - of course, you have no control over that :)  Thanks for everything and you may see us again in the future! - Lori

 

 

Gulf Dunes, Unit 304

Everything was great.  We treated it like it was our own. We will definitely consider using you again next year.  Take care, - Terri Wynn

 

Bob, Thanks so much for sharing your hoe with us as we celebrated our 23rd wedding anniversary.!  It was so nice going to sleep hearing the ocean aw well as waking up to the sounds of the ocean each morning!  The condo was very nbice and emaculate!!  Loved the warm and cozy decor, having the beach chairs and umbrellas was a definite plus!! The condo had everything we needed for our stay.  What a blessing,  - Sam and Janet Souleyrette

 

Thank you for renting your condo to us.  We really enjoyed staying in your condo.  Thanks, - Tammy

 

Thanks.  We enjoyed our stay...it was great.  I appreciated working with you and hope to again.  We will return to Destin for sure.

 

Hi Bob, We had a wonderful stay in your condo.  Everything was just beautiful.  The size was perfect, the decorations were very nice, and I really enjoyed the brand new XL capacity washer and dryer!  Another thing we absolutely loved about the condo was the keypad entry.  It was so nice not to have to keep up with keys, especially with eight people going back and forth.  Please know that this was the simplest, most satisfying condo rental we’ve ever experienced.  Your online check-in, telephone check-out, printable parking passes, the ability to reach you anytime, your efforts in providing early check-in, etc. etc. etc. were all very convenient and appreciated.  We will remember you next year when we begin planning our next family vacation.  Thanks again for everything, - Amanda Veuleman

 

Thanks for the great experience.  We really enjoyed our stay at Gulf Dunes 304.  The unit was great.  I look forward to renting from you again later in the summer.  Jeff
 

We really enjoyed your condo and had a great time on our trip. The view was great!   We did encounter problems with your internet connection.... I do want to say that the condo was in spotless condition when we arrived.   Mary

Gulf Dunes, Unit 607

Hey Bob, We enjoyed our stay in gd607.  It was perfect for my husband and me.  Thanks also for fixing the internet problem for me.  I would be interested in another stay at some point.  Thanks - Pam Foster

 

Hey Bob, Thanks ..it was a great condo and had a great time there, ill let you know in the future when i head down there again, it was a pleasure doing business with you!  Thanks again, - Jim Nacarlo

 

Hey there, loved renting with you all.  Had a positive experience staying at Gulf Dunes both times.  I plan on staying there each visit if I can continue to get such good rates.  I thank you all for making this trip affordable for me. I love the condo, it had everything one could want.  Was happy to see paper towels and enough detergent to wash 3 loads of clothes.  Little things like that make a difference.  I thank you so much and hope you all add me to your last minute deal list.  I'm one who runs down spur of the moment.  Thanks again for making this a very easy and affordable trip for me.   Kristie

Gulf Dunes, Unit 609

Bob, We really enjoyed the stay.  If we come back to this area next summer, we would want to stay in 609.  We really liked the door lock with a code instead of keys.  This is much more conveient for our family.  The only thing I noticed was the night stand table in the master bedroom on the ocean side is wobbly - Vance

 

Despite the unexpected Tropical Storm that caught everyone by surprise, we still managed to have a good time.  I’ll send you pictures later.  The Unit was very nice, and was a great place and a great time. Thanks for renting to us at such a good rate.

 

We had an AWSOME time and while on vacation the kids we trying to decide when we could come down again....( I did end up going to the immediate care clinic but all is well) We enjoyed the fireworks on Thursday as we dined at the Fishermans WHarf in Destin....Pam Partridge

Thank you!  It was a good trip, and yes, we are already discussing a trip next summer. 

Both condos were very nice.  We appreciated all.  Certainly appreciated the couple of soap items for each need; dishwasher, washer, bath, a few trash bags, etc.  That was perfect. Those little things make a big difference!  The only suggestion to offer is a radio/CD player. I  missed a little music, but the sound of the waves was a great fill in!  - Julia Veatch

 

Hi Bob,  We had a WONDERFUL honeymoon!  The condo is absolutely beautiful and has everything imaginable to make the perfect vacation!  We look forward to using it again in the future and will tell our friends and family about it.  Thanks again!

 

Bob, We really enjoyed Gulf Dunes 609.  Here are some of the things we really liked:  1.  The keyless entry was so convenient.  It took all the concern of keeping up with a key at the beach out of the picture and the constant "Who's got the key?"  That was great.  I loved that.  2.  The location was great.  Las year we stayed in Navarre, which was beautiful, but we drove to Fort Walton/Destin every night to eat or play.  This condo is right in the middle of the action.  3.  I appreciated the full-size washer and dryer right in the condo.  I washed beach towels every day.  4.  I appreciated no lock on the gate to the beach.  5.  The beach chair service was flawless and great.  6.  I liked no carpet in the condo.  Made sweeping so easy.  7.  The king bed was sooooooo comfortable.  Like home.  8.  Your personal service.  It was so easy doing business with you and I fell we'll be looking you up in the future.  The beach is my favorite vacation spot and I look forward to it.  9.  Our own parking space under the building was GREAT.  Would we consider a stay at Gulf Dunes again?  Yes.  Definitely a nice place.  We also like trying different condos and stuff, and I've already put your website in "My Favorites."  THANKS so much for your good service and attention to details.  I look forward to hearing about your future specials!  This was a special vacation and we appreciate your part in it - Rebecca Easley

 

My Wife and I would like to thank both of you for an amazing stay. Facing the situation the came up due to another owner you quickly found a solution which more then compensated us for the inconvenience. We will 100% use your property's again in the future. As I said if you are ever in Atlanta please let me know.
Many Thanks, KO  Kevin A O'Reggio
 
We enjoyed our stay, thank you.  We appreciate the quick response on upgrading the electronics in the condo.  It was clean, which is our biggest concern.  The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, plates and cups.  The only item we found lacking in the kitchen was storage containers for leftovers.  The keyless entry was very nice.  As far as the complex in general, the heated pool was very nice, the luggage carts were very helpful, the grounds and building were well maintained, the tennis court was in great condition and the area for community use items in the garage was nice.  Thanks again.  Larry
Gulf Dunes, Unit 612

Bob, we had an excellent experience in Unit 612 at Gulf Dunes, Ft Walton.  The condo was exactly as you described - very clean, comfortable, pleasant interior, and in the perfect spot in the building, and on the beach -- and convenient to everything.  We were nervous that we were going to have bad weather, which you got in Atlanta, - Ft Walton weather was perfect our entire time - what a luck break!  We do hope to go again next year, and you will be the first person I call to make those reservations. Thanks again for your excellent customer service.

 

Hi Bob,  Thanks for sending the email.  I meant to send you an email but just haven't had a chance yet.   We loved the condo.  It was nicely decorated and was at a great spot on the beach.   Thanks for all your help with the rental.  Please send me any specials you have.   I will look you up if I need to book again.  I am seriously thinking about next fall break!  Kind regards, - Michelle Warren

 

Bob- Thanks so much for the great place to stay during our recent family vacation.  The condo was wonderful- we really appreciated the updates.  We were able to view the inside of 3 other units at Gulf Dunes, and we like 612 the best.  The only change I would recommend would be a softer mattress.  We already plan to return next year- this time we plan to bring additional family and will need at least one additional unit.  I will definitely recommend Sunset Resort Rentals to others.  Thanks again and please keep the offers coming! - David Childers

 

Bob,We have all agreed that  yours is one of the very nicest that we have stayed in and have recommended it to several others. Just one comment that I would note.  The type of glasses that you have in the cabinet seem too fragile for the dishwasher.  One was cracked when we arrived and later when we unloaded the dishwasher, another was cracked in the same way. We didn't use the dishwasher after that as I couldn't get them to set correctly.  Certainly was not a problem but didn't want to break one each time.  We will be sure to check back in to your website.  Thanks,  - Marsha Richardson

 

Bob,  We absolutely loved it.  My husband (Larry) was so pleased (and he is hard to please – ha, ha)!  He definitely wants to stay there again next year.  The condo was tastefully decorated and just felt like home to us.  Larry thinks a recliner would be better than the rocking chair in the den (just because he missed his recliner at home J).   Also, another skillet (non-stick) would have been nice (even though we only cooked breakfast.)  Those are just thoughts and certainly wouldn’t keep us from wanting to come back there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Thank you for everything!  - God bless,  - Ramona

 

We had a fabulous week staying in unit 612. The condo looked great and was furnished and stocked with everything we needed. We are looking forward to staying again when we have the chance.   Regards,    David & Teresa

Gulf Dunes, Unit 616

Bob, We really enjoyed out stay at gd616, everything was wonderful. Everything was a plus during our stay. Thanks again for the use of your condo - Wilford and Jane Simmons

 

Mr. Dyer,  We would like to stay on your email list for the future.  We enjoyed our vacation very much and would like to come back again.  One suggestion I would make is to add a few more washcloths  (there are plenty of towels).  We really liked having a keypad at the door,  its so much easier than having to keep up with keys.  We will certainly consider the Ft Walton area and your rentals when planning our next vacation. 

Thank you,   - Mitzi Freeman

Gulf Dunes, Unit 507


We really enjoyed our stay in your condo.It is decorated very nice and very clean.We would look forward to staying there again.I dont know what you could do to improve it unless you could control the weather.    Thanks again, Cathy


 

Hello We had a ball  Great place and location.  We really enjoyed the" beach service" I was not sure what this was until I found out I didn't need to lug chairs  to the beach :)  The beached were  PERFECT white No oil in site.  Thanks for sharing your place with us.  Daryl

 

 

Gulf Dunes, Unit 402

We were very pleased with our condo while in Florida for a week. We think you are doing a great job.  We would definitely call you again for future condo rental. We are already talking about a Christmas get together. The guy I spoke with on the phone when making our reservation was extremely pleasant and easy to work with. Once again, we enjoyed our stay and would do it again.  Sincerely, Jolinda

 

Thank you for recognizing that we took care of the Condo. We really do appreciate the offer that you made us. We had not planned on taking a trip because of cost but Sunset Resort Rentals made it possible. Please keep us informed of future good deals because we are hard country workers and would love to bring our two grown children and their families on a much needed vacation next year sometime. We usually have little to no time to plan because of farming and other business needs as I know you understand that. Again thanks for making this unplanned vacation a blessing.  Marian
