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!

Very clean and comfortable

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.

February vacation

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!

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.
