Week Away With Family

The property was as advertised. Nothing over the top, but the location was perfect and the view of the Ocean off the balcony was priceless. We had everything we needed and the beds were decent so we got a good nights sleep.

The agency was great and my condo was ready early. The view is amazing! The condo needs updates.Baseboards missing and just felt old.Bed in master was very uncomfortable.When I got there the room was musty but once I turned down the air and bought a room freshener it was better. The worst part was the construction. The listing did say they were doing updates.But the pool right below my room was wired on all day Mother's Day. Sounds like a jack hammer. Very loud. You couldn’t hear the waves from the balcony. Not relaxing. I left early. Checked in Sunday and left Monday.

The hotel building is not good

The room was fine but the hotel itself only had one functioning elevator so coming in from the beach you would have to wait 30 mins to get to your floor. Not what you want to deal with when on vacation. Will stay someone next time with more elevators.

Basic Condo. Like a comfort Inn

Moldy shower curtains, dirty rug, musty smelling, and uncomfortable beds. The view was very nice though. Decor and furniture was tacky, and needs a great deal of updating. This was not a condo you wanted to hangout in. Was very disappointed with that price I paid.

Summer getaway

Nice condo. Need to update ice maker, missing a patio chair, gate codes were ridiculous, never worked. Pool rules were not followed by other renters. But I do have to say none of this stopped us from having a great time. Recommendation, drop some $$ into this condo and fix what's broken. I left list with your broker.

Great location, views and unit, but …….

This was a great very clean unit with a beautiful view and great location! However, the totally ridiculous very lengthy multiple PIN numbers required to first even get into the parking lot, then another one to actually register your car to park, then have to hunt for the pin to get you into the lobby door, then another lengthy pin to get into the unit itself, with the key pads not working 1/2 the time is the most frustrating thing ever especially for older people. Talk about security PIN number overload this place was definitely overkill! We won’t rent from this place again even though the unit was great!

great location but upgrades needed

Overall the stay was pleasant, beach location was great and located close to lots of cafes and restaurants within walking distance. The down side - the gates seemed to to have issues almost every day with access codes not working or just the gates being broken. Only two elevators and they were pretty slow. For the unit - for the price that we paid I was really disappointed in the lack of cookware and the quality honestly. Mismatched silverware, absolutely no sheetpans or larger cooking pots. We had to run to the dollar general to buy a cheap cooking pot so we could cook pasta for 4 people. We also had to buy a sheet pan/cookie sheet as there were none at all. The owners may want to consider upgrading some of this as it makes it really hard to cook without some of the basics. The cabinet drawer laminate if peeling off as well. Just overall needs some TLC. Also the pillows were super uncomfortable so either bring your own if you can or grab the throw pillows from the couch. We paid close to 5K for 6 nights and honestly have stayed at other condos much nicer for less.

Fantastic location but need repairs and a thorough cleaning

We stayed at Emerald Isle Condos for our trip to Pensacola Beach and enjoyed our stay. Overall the condo was as advertised however there were a few things we found broken upon our arrival. The master bath toilet was loose from the floor, the guest bathroom toilet handle was broken, and the microwave handle was also broken. I shared this with the front desk. We also found the living room floor to be quite dirty and there were ants in the master bathroom. The pool was great along with the direct access to the beach. We did find however the keycode panel that allows you to open the gate from the complex to the beach hardly worked and was very frustrating to use (mutiple others had this issue too).

Beach Week

My husband and I had a great time at our stay! The condo has great views and I loved drinking my coffee on the balcony every morning to the sound of waves. It was also great waking up to that view in bed too! The convenience to the boardwalk, restaurants, and activities while being gulf side was a must for my husband and I. We will definitely be returning!

Emerald Isle Unit 303

Overall, the condo was nice but there are some things we feel need mentioning. The bathrooms were not clean, the shower curtains smelled terrible, and we bought cleaning products for the tubs. A broom would have been nice to have and maybe a wall clock somewhere in the condo. The kitchen was lacking in that there was only one pot for cooking. The air conditioner was not working properly; the thermostat was stuck and would not change when we tried to adjust the temperature which left the condo on the hot side. The balcony has a square table with only three chairs (unusual for a room that should accommodate many more guests). These may not be major issues, but we felt the owner would welcome the input. Thank you.

Great getaway

The condo was very comfortable and, overall, clean. It could use a fresh coat of paint, and extra blankets, pillows. We used beach towels to wrap up and watch tv in the evenings. The kitchen needs more flatware, serving utensils and baking pans. There was not a baking sheet. Overall, the kitchen needs new dishes and restocking. We were very comfortable in the space and the beds were comfortable. Staff on property were very helpful and pleasant. Loved our getaway and plan to visit again next year

Thank you for the very nice 5 star review. We believe the sand gets tracked in as guests enter because our cleaners back their way out of the unit with a final stiffer sweep.

Family Beach Trip

Overall it was a good experience. There were issues with the toilet...which is likely to happen in any condo, but the maintenance man on site was there in less than 5 minutes and the plumber was there maybe 5 mins after that. The condo was clean. Only reason I gave it 4 stars is the walls could use a good painting or magic eraser. White walls are hard to keep clean. The staff were great at the condo and were working hard to keep common areas clean. We decided to order to go food for dinner every night and it was nice to eat dinner on the balcony. The view is amazing!
