Thank you for your detailed review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay but we're sorry that the beds were not comfortable for you. It's very difficult to have everyone's comfort level met exactly even with brand new mattresses there's always a chance it won't be comfortable to everyone. We will pass your suggestions on to the owners. We hope to see you again in the near future.

This is truly a lovely top floor corner unit at the Gulf Dunes. Unit 617 has everything you and your family could need while on a beach getaway! We'll make sure to see about that TV and make sure it's working correctly, sometimes the TV input gets changed and that will make it seem like the cable isn't working..please note we do have maintenance onsite every day and they can take care of these type issues within a timely manner. Please give us a call next time you are here if anything like this comes up so we can have the chance to correct it while you're here! Being locals helps put us "in the know" on good restaurants and other fun things to do we're so glad we were able to help point you to some good places!! Thank you greatly for booking through Brooks and Shorey and please come back soon for more memories that will surely last you a lifetime!!

Response from Brooks and Shorey Resorts, Inc.:
Mr. Elliott - thank you for taking time to fill out the online review. Sorry to hear that you were disappointed with our office hours and you missed the information about check-in times. Our check in does not start till 4PM as the confirmation letters state so if you arrived around noon, when our staff member was taking their lunch break, you found a notice at the front desk letting you know the office is closed for 30 minutes. I am sure you understand that we do allow our staff to take 30 minutes for lunch. If you were checking out prior to 8:30 AM when our office opens, all you had to do was drop off you keys in the drop box located at the lobby right next to the front desk, which you actually did. We honestly do not see any inconvenience with our office being open 8:30AM - 5PM daily providing a possibility of late arrivals and early departures and these kinds of comments were truly a first.
