Perfect location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We travel to the Destin area every July 4th week and I would rate this location as the best one we have been to in several years. Furniture was a little dated and was a little loud at nighttime being next to a busy intersection, but we still had a great time and will def be back.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was great! The condo was clean and roomy for our stay. The location was great close to shopping and restaurants. The pool/hot tub was nice and plenty of room. The property management staff was helpful and were accommodating to all our request in a very timely manner. The only downside for us was the beach access across the street. The access is super close and convenient but there were a lot of stairs to get to the beach. Also this portion of the beach does not allow canopy shades or tents. This didn't work for us so, just a heads up if you like having a big shad tent. The public access is a nice walk or short drive (we did both on different occasions with parking a car with beach stuff in it and walking pack to condo)Again great condo, great time, would recommend!

Favorite beach rental in the last 8 years

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been traveling to Destin for the last 8 years over fall break and this was our favorite rental so far. Great location within walking distance of pompano joes, Alvin’s, Bad *** coffee, and our favorite Frozen Dune Rolled Ice Cream! The rooms each had a private bath, the kids bedroom was perfect for our kids, including our 2 year old that slept on the trundle bed. We would definitely stay here again!

Annual Family Trip

This is the easiest stay in Destin! The location is amazing. Right in the center of everything. The rooms were big as well as the bathrooms. Perfect for our family. The kitchen helped for quick lunches and two nights of dinner. Walking distance to Pompano Joe's, Alvin's is right across the street, beach access is at the corner, and the pool is right there. It could not get any easier. Can't wait to come back!

Way more than I could have imagined.

Emerald Waters condo is my favorite place to stay when when are in Miramar Beach area! This is my 4th time. The beach is right across the street. Alvin's Island is next door. It is quiet but close to everything. However, we have gone from 2 to 7. Those accommodations were easy for this condo. The decor was lovely, the arrangements of everything were lovely. Everything was clean. There were plenty of towels. We had a great experience here. Will def be coming back!

Just perfect!

The location couldn’t have been any better. Right across the street from Alvin’s Island, the beach, and we were on bottom floor and 15 seconds from the pool. Also.. a 3 minute walk to Electric Golf Cart rental as well. Just in the middle of it all. Very impressed with how spacious the parking lot was, no hassle whatsoever, just got to go down there and enjoy our trip. Great spot, phenomenal floor plan and sleeping arrangements, 3 bathrooms.. just amazing. Thankful to have had the chance and hope we can book this one again. Easily the best we’ve stayed in on our summer vacations. 10/10!

Calm, Quiet and Comfy

This condo was a special little find. Nice open floor plan with spacious bedrooms. It is as close as you can get to the beach without being beachfront and without having a beach view. It is totally worth the cost savings, and that’s coming from a normal beachfront stayer. The pool in front of the property is a little small, but who goes to the beach for the pool. It was a relaxing way to finish up the day however.

June 2022 Stay

Very disappointed in this unit. Upon arrival floors were filthy. Sand throughout and even sand in beds in bunk room. Rugs were filthy as well, leaving kids feet black after walking on them. Unit itself was well decorated and it was great to have three bathrooms. However, pantry was locked, not available for use so not much storage for food etc. Sliding door almost impossible to open and close. Road noise at night is terrible in this unit. Much needed of upkeep and maintenance. Pool was nice but hot tub not working. (Didn’t work last time we stayed in complex. ) Love this complex and have stayed here before, but will not rent this unit again.

Perfect for a large group. I absolutely loved the decor, cleanliness and the fact there were 3 FULL bathrooms. All your daily needs were right there. Location was perfect, right across from the beach and close to restaurants and stores. The only issue was the backdoor was a pain to open and close. Overall we loved it and would definitely stay there again.

Awesome stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time at this condo. It was super close to the beach! We were provided with all necessary items a condo usually provides. The kids loved the bunk beds room. The decor is super cute! We loved having a bathroom for each room so no need to share. There’s lots of yummy restaurants walking distance which is a huge plus bc traffic is insane!! The only thing I’d suggest they do is figure out how to make the back door a little easier to slide open, it was super heavy and hard to open and close. The property management was always responsive, our parking passes weren’t inside the condo but they got our info and made sure we didn’t get towed. The next morning we had our passes.

You could only take showers in the master bathroom. The water just trickled out of the faucet so couldn’t take a bath. My three year old grandson found a pill on the floor in the spare bedroom with the queen bed. We’re so glad we saw him pick it up. Very dangerous. The patio door was almost impossible to slide open.
