About this apartment rental
Gulf Dunes / Okaloosa Island / 3 Bedroom / Sleeps 7 / No Pets / No Smoking
FEATURES:
Beach Service Chairs and Umbrella / Beach View / King Master Bed with Private Bath and Balcony Access / Queen & Twin Guest Bed / Bunk Beds / Queen Sleeper Sofa / Sleeps 9 / Private Washer Dryer / Granite Countertops / Smart Flat Screen TV
DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
Relax at Gulf Dunes 413, an inviting 5th-floor retreat on the white sands of Okaloosa Island. This three-bedroom condo offers a front-row seat to the coast, where your private balcony reveals views stretching far to the east and west. Whether you are watching the waves or looking out over the resort pool, the scenery from this elevation is a highlight of the stay.
Designed to host 7–9 guests, the open living area serves as the central spot for the family to gather. Comfortable seating and flat-screen TVs in every room make it easy to unwind after a day in the sun. The layout flows from the kitchen directly to the balcony, keeping the ocean in sight, while the sofa converts into a queen sleeper for extra space.
The master suite features a king bed, direct balcony access, and a private bathroom with a double vanity. Guest accommodations are just as functional, with a second bedroom offering both a queen and full bed, plus a third bedroom with bunk beds that the kids will enjoy.
Location is a major perk at Gulf Dunes. You are minutes away from the island's top spots, including the Okaloosa Island Pier, the Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park, and the dining and shopping at The Boardwalk.
Your stay is professionally managed by a local team. From your reservation to departure, we ensure your rental is clean, functional, and supported by same-day assistance if you need anything during your trip.

10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
Our condo was perfect! It was very clean and beautifully decorated. I loved it and I will get the same condo again.
8 / 10Excellent·Apr 2026
The condo wasn't the cleanest place that I've stayed in. The floors seemed dirty and a few hairs in the bathroom. The pool wasn't heated as stated on VRBO. The condo could use some updating, it is showing some age. It did have a great view and was conveniently located to shopping, restaurants and activities. We have stayed in Gulf Dunes before but not this unit. I chose this unit because of the balcony furniture over other units. The balcony furniture was nice and comfortable and that is where we spent most of our time enjoying the beautiful view and weather.
10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
Our family of four really enjoyed staying in this condo. The view is exceptional, all bedrooms and baths provided everything we needed, and the kitchen accommodated well. We thought the trash chute being right outside the unit would be loud and distracting but it wasn't, just convenient for us. We loved the pools and beach access and having dinner next door at Beal House with beachside live music was a highlight of our trip. And twice we ordered Stewbie's to go and enjoyed it on the balcony together. Can't wait to stay here again!
6 / 10Average·Apr 2026
Honestly, it was fine, but having stayed in multiple VRBO’s on Okaloosa over the last 5 years, it was the most expensive but the smallest of the group. The finishings were fine but not what I would expect for the price point. The televisions (2) have cable, but no firestick or capability to connect to our own apps or even an inexpensive dvd or blu-ray player with an even modest selection of movies. The furniture looks nice but isn’t comfortable, and their “rules” were so stringent that I spent the entire trip stressed about even using the towels (makeup on towels was considered property damage, so imagine my panic when my daughter cut herself and got blood on a towel). I understand the need to protect the property but it was not a vacation for me as anytime we were in the room, I was picking up and cleaning.If we hadn’t stayed in others, previously, so know the market, maybe I wouldn’t have noticed. If you’re not spending any time in the room, it’s probably fine for you. We take that time to rest and refresh so we like to go to the beach or local attractions during the day and then stay in, eat, watch movies, etc… That was not extremely enjoyable in this unit. That being said, the beach is always beautiful and I did like the storm shutters that I could close just enough that I didn’t get wet while sat on the balcony to watch a storm come in.
