The condo was nice. Plenty of room for my family, including 5 teens. Easy access to the beach and daily beach setup. Only downside is the small pool, located in the parking lot side of the building - but the ocean was perfect so we never used it!

Very easy to get out on the beach and it was a huge plus having the chair rental included. Layout was perfect for our family with the kids upstairs. It was nice to be able to walk to many places. We went to Camille’s for dinner one night and it was a 10 minute walk to get ice cream another night. The master and guest beds could have better mattresses for the price, but were fine for a short stay. Will definitely come back to Emerald Dunes in the future!

This was a very nice condo, great views of the beach and very relaxing. The condo was stocked well with what was needed, was clean and well maintained. The private beach and beach service made for a great experience and plenty of space. There is a lot to do and plenty of places to eat very close by. We for sure want to go back.

Large pantry for our groceries, and a laundry room with nice washer & dryer.The bedroom upstairs with its own bathroom for the girls was a perfect fit. The beach chairs and umbrella set up for us every day was great! We'll be back!

Fantastic experience

The condo was immaculate and just as described. The bedrooms were even larger than expected; no crawling over suitcases due to limited space. The bathrooms were more upscale than previous condos in which we have stayed and owned! The private beach was quiet and uncrowded, and the beach service was an added bonus. The views of the ocean from the balcony were breathtaking. We were thoroughly impressed with the communication with the management company throughout the booking, arrival, and checkout process. We have found THE CONDO we will be booking for all of our future Destin vacations!!!
