This location was perfect for a wonderful stay in Destin. The rooms were just as stunning as the view. They were spacious and had a very homey fill to it. The beds were very comfortable. The two balconies were such a treat. You could enjoy seeing the fun down below in the pool. The fun music and the boats coming and going from the Harbor. We ate the restaurant 3 time during our stay and the food was delicious. The wait staff was just amazing. The harborvillage boardwalk was just a 2 minute walk away. We choose many fun things to do at the boardwalk. We shopped, parasailed, did boat tours, and the zip line. The many restaurants we enjoyed were like I said many, We loved the shuttle to the private beach area. Which was equipped with umbrellas and chairs. There was also a boat that served food and drinks right out in the ocean. Our stay was just amazing and we enjoyed it so much this lady didn't want to go home.

Thank you for the 5-star review! Glad you enjoyed your stay at Emerald Grande W522- Harbor Breeze and that the rooms were as stunning as the view. Happy the beds were comfortable and the two balconies were a treat for watching the pool, music, and harbor activity. Great to hear the restaurant and wait staff were excellent, and that the HarborVillage boardwalk, private beach shuttle, and on-water service added to your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back. RealJoy Destin

Great place to stay. Loved everything about the Harbor walk. Water taxi to beach was cool, saw dolphins. A short drive back over the bridge was a big beautiful white beach with restaurants and a long pier. Would love to go back in the spring.

Lovely Destin Vacation

Rental was nice, and the location was great. We loved the private beach area for Emerald Grande guests, water was calm so my 3 year old loved it. Only downside was the construction going on at the pool area, and the condo could have been cleaned a little better. But overall we had great stay.

Thank You Andrea, We are happy that you found the rental to be nice and the location great! The private beach is a wonderful bonus and am glad your 3 old was able to enjoy the calm waters😊 Sorry to hear about the construction but hopefully when they are done it will be an added bonus next time vacationing there🤞 We strive to do our best at making sure all rentals are cleaned to guest expectations and have taken a note of this for future bookings. Thank you for your feedback and hope your next vacation will be as great as this most recent one you had. 🌴🌊

I’m truly sorry to hear your stay wasn’t fully satisfactory. The only concern we were made aware of was the check-in process at the resort front desk. As soon as you reached out, we immediately contacted the front desk and had the issue resolved. From what we understand, the registration was not filled out that was required by you in advance. It is the resort's policy and not ours. To be fair, we didn’t hear from you again during your stay — had we known of any other concerns, we would have done everything we could to make things right for you. We truly value your feedback and appreciate the chance to improve.
