Host allowed early check in. Plenty of beach stuff I wasn’t expecting. Having beach chair and umbrella set up included was wonderful. Only suggestion would be additional microwaveable plates and additional larger plates. Would definitely stay again
Wonderful condo. Plenty of parking. Huge pool. Owners were easy to communicate with. Had a few minor housekeeping and upkeep issues, but nothing that would keep us from returning.
We had a great beach vacation, the condo was perfect for what we needed! The kitchen was very well stocked with many appliances and the beds were very comfortable! ! Sherry was easy to work with and we would definitely book this condo again!!
Great location on the beach with beautiful balcony views. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms were the perfect size for our family (4 adults and 2 children). Very comfortable and convenient to the surrounding area.
The Condo was wonderful. We had everything we needed. The view was amazing. We would definitely stay again. There was a lot of restaurants close by as well as entertainment.
We had a great time. Just a beautiful Condo with a great location and everything went well! Owner was so fast to respond with any questions!! Would love to come back again!! Would HIGHLY recommend this place!!
Property was just as described. The owner was wonderful to work with. She responded quickly to questions we had. Every thing we needed was there. Look forward to staying there again.
The whole booking process was very easy. The condo is updated and especially the kitchen, is stocked with everything you could possibly need during your stay. Beautiful view from the balcony and master bedroom. The umbrella and chairs set-up, included with the stay, was a bonus!
This was our first stay at Emerald Bay. We loved the property. There was on loud party that went well into the night and early morning. Other then that, the property is very quiet. Parking is easy and the pool was awesome.
Spectacular views from this beautifully remodeled condo! Proximity to shopping & dining was excellent as well. Only concern was the heavy traffic getting in Saturday afternoon as well any return trip to Okaloosa from Destin in afternoon rush hour. Easy to plan around…just need to be aware!
Property was very clean with plenty of furnishings. We didn't need anything that wasn't available in the condo. Elevators and garbage bin very close by. Also, nice view of the beach!
Me and my husband brought our three kids to the beach along with two sets of grandparents. We had a great setup with the bunks in the hallway. All sleeping arrangements and everything was great. Not much pantry space for your own groceries. While the owner did let us know she had some groceries in the fridge already(labeled as well) it was difficult to load fridge with our own for 8 people. The fridge doors were full. Not a lot of pantry space either but we made do, and completely fine. Full/queen bedroom does not have a lot of storage for luggage,no dresser. So function of some storage spaces in the unit was a little difficult, but we worked around and our family had a fantastic stay. We had a great view from our balcony, and so easy to get to the pool, beach, and parking garage. We cooked in a couple nights, and the unit had all the things needed in the kitchen. Air fryer, large skillet, mixing bowls, crockpot, utensils, coffee bar. In that aspect, it was a very functional cooking space. Thank you for allowing us to check in a little early! The kids so appreciated that. We also caught a small baby shark while doing some morning fishing on the beach! Highlight of one of our son’s vacation.
It is a tastefully updated unit in a great location. You can choose to park under roof in the parking garage if you choose. There was plenty of room for our family of 10 people. Would stay there again!
We stayed here for a week in September and had a wonderful time. The condo was exactly as advertised and perfect for our family of 5. The fact that one of the other bedrooms had an attached bathroom (besides the master) was perfect for our teenage daughter. The other bedroom was plenty large enough for the other two with plenty of room to set up our pack-n-play for our youngest. Great stay and would definitely recommend!
