No matter the day, month or year Emerald Dunes 502 condo always promises a chance to celebrate! Whether its “Happy the first day I saw dolphins” day or “Happy happy hour on our beachfront balcony” day... everything will be happy! Yes, the breathtaking Gulf panorama right outside the sliding glass doors combined with the renovated interior featuring a seafaring vibe will have you saying “Happy everything!”
The upgrades of this two-story beach front Destin vacation rental- a luxury master suite boasting a giant walk-in stone shower with dual shower heads; the rarity of a full laundry room; a furnished and private beachfront balcony; granite countertops throughout and beautiful plank wood floors- are sure to definitely keep you smiling. Plus, Emerald Dunes guests enjoy deeded beach access, gated parking and a spacious pool deck. Additionally, set on the scenic beach road, Emerald Dunes is not only directly on the beach but its also within walking distance to multiple restaurants, a coffee shop, shopping and entertainment venues.
Besides the beautiful beach with its’ expansive dunes and swaying sea oats, Emerald Dunes also has a pristine, sparkling swimming pool and a luxurious hot tub surrounded by lush palms for your enjoyment. Emerald Dunes is a private, gated condominium with amenities that include the large pool, hot tub, gas BBQ grills, boardwalk showers, bathrooms and seasonal beach attendants. Along with all amenities, guests appreciate the private low density setting (only 27 units) and private dune walkover to the beach.
GREAT LOCATION! Located on the west end of Scenic Highway 98 in Crystal Beach, the property is within walking/biking distance of local shops and restaurants. When it’s time for dinner, Camille’s, a favorite local restaurant known for their fresh sushi and intimate bar, is just steps away. During the day, Camille’s sidewalk café serves a limited menu of coffee, smoothies, breakfast and lunch items and local brews. Also nearby, guests will enjoy access to Publix (grocery store) and Destin Commons, featuring a bowling alley, movie theater, restaurants and diverse mix of shopping opportunities.
We require a minimum length of stay during the summer and over holidays.
We do not rent to anyone under 25 or to students
Guests receive a welcome kit with small dishwasher detergent, dish soap, sponge, a roll of paper towels, and laundry detergent. There will be an initial trash liner in each receptacle and a set of toilet paper and soaps for each bathroom provided. Guests will need to replenish supplies for longer stays.
NOTE: Emerald Dunes is a SMOKE FREE, TOBACCO FREE property. No trailers, jet skis, RV's or boats are permitted.
