Property is easy to find and in an excellent location. Parking and access is good and it's a short walk to the water on the beach. Everything was in working order. The unit was clean, new flooring and fresh linens. Could not rate at 5 stars because it is in need of some maintenance. Kitchen has been redone, appliances are new and clean, but base boards, doors and some furniture need a refresh. Laundry door drags, patio door track needs cleaning and lubrication.We would stay at this location again, but might try another unit.

Nice little space for a relaxing time

The condo was perfect for my husband and I. Check-in and out was easy. The condo was super clean and organized with a very comfortable bed and amazing view. It had the basic necessities. Close to grocery stores and restaurants. Bc the building is smaller, the beach area felt way less crowded than some of the other areas. Wi-Fi and cable worked perfectly the entire time.

BEST location and view!

This was our second time to stay at the Emerald Sky and it does not disappoint! Check in and check out was a breeze with communication at its best. The entire property was clean and just adorable and the view from the patio was beautiful day and night! Sunsets on the patio or a short walk to the beach, this place has everything you will need for making a great memory! The location was easy to get to and so many choices for fun and food nearby! We will be back again and again every chance we get!

Nice vacation

The area was fantastic. The condo unit was very clean and had starter items to get us started. The view from the balcony was stunning. I loved the box fans, as we love noise while sleeping. The beds were very comfortable. The washer and dryer was a plus. We went to Waterville and that was a hit. We also loved how close it was to Flora-Bama. We would recommend this unit to others.

Nice Little Condo

For a one bedroom unit, it had enough space for two people. For families with young children, there would be enough room for them, too. It was clean, smelled fresh and was updated. The pool is small, but it felt heated which was very nice in March. Overall, a nice condo for someone looking for smaller place to relax...nice views from balcony.

RELAXATION PARADISE! LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION!

The absolute PERFECT condo & location for a beach getaway. Perfect for 2-6 people, comfortably. We stayed 7 days and not once did we feel as if another owned this unit. It is literally within walking-distance of EVERYWHERE one might need to go. The ocean at this spot is super clear AND shallow, as we were able to walk straight out to the sandbar withis water reaching mid-chest. No complaints of any sort- just fond and special memories made at Emerald Skye 45- Our Forever-Vacation paradise!

This condo was the perfect size for our family of three. It was a great value for the price. The king bed was comfortable and there were plenty of towels, pillows and blankets. The couch is small but comfortable. We booked this condo because of its close proximity to the beach and didn't spend much time in the condo, and I wouldn't recommend this condo for comfort if you plan on spending a lot of time indoors. It is decorated nicely and is very bright and clean. We set up the outdoor chairs we brought on the patio because they were more comfortable than the patio furniture. The pool is small and is on the parking lot side of the building, but was nice for a quick swim after the beach each day. Close to restaurants and grocery stores. Overall, we enjoyed our experience.

Quick Get-Away

The property is in a great location away from the crowds of Gulf Shores. The Emerald Isle property is not a large as most beachfront condos so the beach was not crowded at all. The condo itself (#45) was nice and clean with a fabulous view! The ONLY criticism was the bed mattress seemed past its prime and the balcony furniture was also a little tired. But overall, a wonderful retreat! Warning, take your own beach chairs... the rentals on the beach are quite steep!
