Beachfront Condo with Dazzling Gulf View! Beach Views, Balcony, Pool-Hot Tub.

Emerald Dunes #404 in Destin brought to you by Beach Blue Properties.
Beach Service available for rent seasonally (March - October)

Exclusively located through a private gated entry in the Crystal Beach area of Destin, Emerald Dunes is a premier destination for vacationers seeking a relaxing, uncrowded beach experience. With only 6 stories and 27 units, Emerald Dunes is known for its unsurpassed beach location, sparkling blue swimming pool (seasonally heated), bubbling hot tub, and outdoor gas grilling facilities.

Emerald Dunes 404 is centrally located right in the heart of this exclusive beachfront destination. This three bedroom residence has been professionally remodeled and offers dazzling views of the glistening gulf waters that extend as far as one can see. The furnishings are both elegant and stylish, which provides a decidedly upscale ambiance. The main living area has plenty of cushy seating for everyone, a flat panel HDTV, and sliding glass doors that graciously lead out onto the breezy beachfront balcony. The dining area offers a generously sized wood dining table, six chairs and additional bar seating. The open kitchen is designed with granite countertops, stainless appliances, and is fully equipped with everything needed to whip up a delicious meal.

Our master bedroom features a comfortable king sized bed sitting adjacent to a picture window which offers a seriously impressive view of the emerald waters of the Gulf. The en suite master bathroom has a dressing vanity area, an additional vanity, an oversized shower with custom tile work, and a whirlpool bathtub. There is a beautifully decorated guest bedroom with a king bed, brand new mattress (Fall 2024), a flat panel HDTV, and comfortable seating. The bunk room offers a twin bed, a full bed, a trundle twin bed, and a flat panel HDTV. Both guest bedrooms share a full hallway bathroom. For your convenience, there is a stackable front load washer and dryer located in the unit.

Crystal Beach in Destin is named for the unique composition of pure shimmering quartz crystal sands that makes The Emerald Coast world renowned. The sparkling sugar white sandy shore borders the ever changing translucent, emerald toned waters of the Gulf. Crystal Beach is on Scenic Gulf Drive and borders the Destiny community towards the East and the expansive Henderson Beach State Park towards the West. This convenient Crystal Beach location is just blocks away from the upscale shopping village of Destin Commons complete with a myriad of designer clothing shops, specialty boutiques, restaurants and a state of the art Multiplex Theater. A Publix Grocery Store and other shops and restaurants are also close by. Within short driving distance are the shops and restaurants at Harborwalk Village and the Village of Baytowne Wharf at Sandestin® Resort.

Beautiful beach and location

Pros:-Perfect location -Private beach was amazing and not crowded at all-Property manager was very responsive and took care of all issues promptly -Area was amazing-it was nice having a washer and dryer to do laundry -had fun beach toysCons: -The kids did not want to sleep in the bunk beds because there were left of chips and chic fil a wrapper along the bed frame. -all blankets were thin and there were no spare blankets -other rentals on the property received a free umbrella 2 beach chairs on the beach. Ours did not include this so we had to pay 55 per day which equaled an extra 330

Great place on the beach

This rental was great. It was much more spacious than we imagined. The owner suite was very separate from the other two rooms; the bunk bed room was pretty tiny but still very exciting for our youngest. The kitchen was stocked with everything we could need, including tupperware, only lacking a corkscrew. The bathrooms had sample size products and one towel per guest. There was a closet stocked with beach toys, beach chairs and even a stroller---if we would have known this before our travels we wouldn't have brought our stroller or beach items. The location could not have been better and the beach was amazing. We were thankful for the private beach seeing how busy the public beach areas got when the weather was nice. Other rentals in the same building included beach chair service---that would have been nice to have but we still had fun at the beach and spent a lot of time in the pool area. We met a lot of people that come back to Destin and this place each year---great rental overall!

Great Beachfront Condo

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: The condo was exactly as described. Perfect for those traveling with little ones. They even had a closet that had all the beach necessities a little would need (buckets, shovels, floats, etc.). Great location and close to all the action! The front bedroom could use a new mattress (bad) but we only stayed a week so it was overall great! Would recommend!

Suggestions

Loved the condo, but few suggestions. Need thicker fluffier pillows on beds. Fridge water dispenser didn’t work. Need small table on patio. There were small ants in the master bedroom. Oven needs cleaning.

Just what we wanted

The condo was clean and the furnishings were comfortable - beds and chairs were above average in our experience. Furnished appliances in good working order. We dis not use beach equipment but there was a large quantity available. The property had more security than most and that was easy to use. My wife thought that the entry door latch could have been more substantial, but it was fine. I routinely Brian’s additional door security so no worries. Other occupants -some like us, some residents, were cordial when we encountered them.

Great location! Private Beach was a game changer for the 4th!

Really great location! Private beach was a game changer. Room was very clean. Overall really had a great time. Only a few issues. Our check in was delayed 45 minutes due to the cleaning crew not being on time. Remotes were not matched to the TV’s so we had to work through the process of setting them all up. Only some were labeled. Also, only had one roll of toilet paper per bathroom. Just not enough for a 4 day stay.
