We always like to stay in the Crystal Beach area. We are very familiar with the neighborhood and there are several restaurants that we go to that are within walking distance. During our stay both, staircases were closed for several days for maintenance. We found that inconvenient since we were on the third floor and using the staircase was an option we would have used. I also wonder what would have happened had there been an emergency.We liked the idea of using a code to enter the unit, but wonder if it could be possible to have a code assigned that would be familiar to us. We were repeatedly checking our phones to read the code from the email when we returned.Thank you.

This is absolutely the most wonderful condo we have stayed in and we have been coming to Destin for over 40 years. Large rooms, beautifully furnished, extremely clean, complimentary beach chairs, washer/dryer, and 2 showers (always nice at the beach) .AMAZING VIEW- corner unit with no high rise blocking view, nice breeze for sitting on balcony. Within 5 miles of our favorite Dewey’s seafood on the bay and best shopping centers are even closer . Perfect trip! We plan to stay in this condo every trip from now on.

Great Location, Lacking Cleanliness and Unkind Property Management

The location of this condo is wonderful. Right on the beautiful Destin beach and close to an adorable coffee shop/restaurant. The included beach chairs were a major plus. And the pool was very clean. This condo lacked cleanliness and felt very grimy and dirty. Cabinets were falling apart. Stains all over the drawers so much I didn't want place anything inside them. Our washing machine was not working upon arrival, and the property management was very rude to dealing with this situation. We had booked with plans is utilizing the washer and dryer unit in the condo. It was replaced by the end of the stay, but we went through a major hassle in dealing with that. There were a lot of missing kitchen utensils (like a pizza cutter and bowls and containers). There were not many blankets or towels. And not was very bare bones. Which.i didn’t expect for what we paid.

Excellent location

The best part about this property is that it sits right on the beach which gives you private access and reserved beach chairs. The kitchen is huge and we loved cooking our meals, then playing outside. It’s close to everything in Destin, which is was wonderful since traffic can sometimes be congested. There were sugar ants on the counters, and the property is getting a little run down, for the price we paid. It’s also probably time to replace the mattresses, since the king mattress was a little lopsided. But we had a great time being right on the beach, and loved sitting on the balcony, and seeing the ocean from every window! We have a large family and this property was completely comfortable for all of us.

Great location, great vacation

Just got back from a week at Emerald Dunes and it was fantastic. Love going to Destin in the Sept/Oct. timeframe -- much less crowded and a slower pace. Also love the location of Emerald Dunes. Unit 301 is spacious and has great amenities, and is an end unit, so you have great views. In fact, it has one of the best views down the beach that I have ever had, and I have been staying directly on the beach in Destin for more than 10 years. The only reason I did not give this unit a full five stars is that it is a bit worn in places. Walls are a little dinged up, a piece of flooring trim was missing, screens were torn or missing from windows. None of this detracted from our vacation, but it is worth mentioning. Would rent here again!

Beautiful Place

This was a great trip. We enjoyed the clean, quiet, well-kept property very much. Owner was very responsive. The beach service was great: two chairs and an umbrella. The pool and hot tub were a great change of pace from the beach when our 4 children were tired from the waves. There are even hotel caddies and carts available for you to get your luggage up and down the elevator. There were plenty of sheets and pillows, as we filled up all the beds! The kitchen is well-stocked. The fridge kept our food cold. The ice maker was a nice touch, though we didn't use it much due to the cooler weather. There's nothing like opening your back patio door and hearing the waves and seeing the white sand beaches of Destin. We will definitely be back!

Not impressed

We have stayed at Emerald Dunes for many years... this year was different the area to the left of the building has been opened up to the public so its no longer as private as it was and that is why we always enjoyed the area it was not near as busy! The area to the side of the building/public open area left trash daily and some even set up in front of the chairs & umbrella we had that was provided during the stay. The pictures were much nicer then the room actually is! Constantly had issues with the toilets during the stay needs some much needed upgrades... I would not book Emerald again until they clean up the area thats now a open flow! Were looking elsewhere for the next trip to Destin!
