Good location and reasonable crowd on the beach. Easy to find, and parking at the facility was good and safe. Only non working thing there was the clothes iron lol.
The condo is spacious and comfortable. The view is amazing and the beaches were more beautiful than I could have imagined. We got exactly what we expected and more.

Overall, this is a nice, spacious just needs a bit of updating. Kitchen is well stocked, just needs more than one skillet. There are many extra beach accessories provided from this unit (beach loungers, floaties, etc) which was appreciated.

This was our third time staying at The Surf Dweller. We will return every year, if possible. My moter-in-law has been staying there every year for over 30 years. The only complaints I have are the air fryer was disgustingly dirty so we had to scrub it before we could use it and the last 2 nights the smoke detector beeped because the battery was dying. This will NOT keep us from coming back!! We love The Surf Dweller!!

We loved our stay at 603! Very spacious 2 bedroom with excellent views! Our only problem was the WiFi went out on our second day and didn’t come back on until the night before we left. But even with that, the property management worked very hard to get it resolved and the communication with us was top notch! They answered all my emails in a very timely manner. We will definitely be back!

Surf Dweller units are very large with great balconies and beautiful gulf views in a convenient location on Okaloosa Island. 603 has comfortable furniture and comfortable beds and the kitchen is well equipped, however the unit is in serious need of updating. We've rented from Brooks and Shorey for several years and have always been satisfied with the cleanliness of the properties. But something went wrong this time. We are accustomed to cleaning up after ourselves, but we did not expect to have to clean up after the previous guests upon our arrival!
We enjoyed everything. The place was nice and clean, big balcony, close to the beach and free chairs! My family wants to go back next year and stay in that condo😊
Our family of 6, kids ages 3-12, stayed for a week. The condo was spacious, clean, and perfect for our beach vacation.

We would rent this unit again. It had great furniture, beds were very comfortable and kitchen was well stocked. The only complaint we had was the carpet in master bedroom and the living room needs to be shampooed.
Great location. Large condo with great views of the beach.
Condo needs to be updated.

Spacious condo, comfortable and clean. Well equipped large kitchen. Beachfront view fantastic from the shaded front deck/porch. The beach chairs and umbrella were a great perk.
We always stay at Surf Dweller and have nothing but great things to say about the resort. The rooms here are so spacious that we always feel at home. One issue with this room was the master bed was super firm. It felt like we were sleeping on the floor. But overall it was a lovely week here!
