Great place to stay! Clean and decorated nicely. It overlooks the pool, so it can be a little noisy in the den area. There were a couple great restaurants within walking distance and it was very nice having chairs and an umbrella already down at the beach!

We enjoyed are room and the beach it was clean and a nice little room on the corner on the first floor we had free chair set up and that was nice love to go back with all the family if they have bigger rooms for us all we have not been to forte Walton beach in a long while hope to get back again next Spring Break
The unit was very clean, updated, with an adequate amount of towels and linens.
You have a beautiful view of the water but you can’t see people on the beach. This wasn’t a concern for us. Very close to elevator and stairway.
We thought the location was great, comfy furniture, BEAUTIFUL BEACH, adequate parking, easy to get inside with code, really no issues.

This is our 5th year staying at Gulf Dunes #114. We love every minute we spend here. This year the weather has started out great, azaleas starting to bloom and lots of new things in the condo. We love the new sofa, chairs, area rug, and ceiling fans. Overall this unit is perfect for us and we enjoy it immensely!

This was our 4th year staying at Gulf Dunes. We always look forward to it and it never disappoints. The complex itself is always quiet and the people there are always friendly. The weather this year was outstanding as well. We always enjoy our time here, our home away from home! Can't wait until next time!

We had a fantastic stay here at golf dunes. The condo was very clean and with plenty of room for our family of 4. We did have issues with the wifi all week. Also the this particular units balcony is very close to the pool so no privacy as you sit on the balcony. However our friends stayed on the 3rd floor and had an incredible view .Overall it was great, we would definitely return.
The property was perfect for my wife and I. The unit was clean and well maintained. The furniture was comfortable and the unit was well supplied. The location was great as it was within walking distance of a number of our favorite restaurants. The beach service was excellent. We had a great time.
