Everything was great. We enjoyed the adult hot tub, the view and the local Harbor walks. Since it was winter and chilly outside there weren't a lot of other vacationers and there was daily outside maintenance going on. None of that really took away from the great room/view.

Easy check-in. Love the location in the off-season. It was great to have an easy walk and drive to so many restaurants. There was a banging outside the window from something metal outside, so we had to download a noise maker to sleep, but we went away after two days.

Our stay at the Emerald Grande in Destin was absolutely incredible! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and cared for. The property itself is stunning—beautifully designed, spotless, and perfectly located with breathtaking views of the harbor and Gulf.The suites are spacious, luxurious, and equipped with everything you need for a relaxing getaway. Waking up to the sunrise over the water and ending the day with a sunset view from our balcony was pure magic.The amenities were top-notch—sparkling pools, private beach access, and so many dining and entertainment options right at HarborWalk Village. It truly felt like we had everything in one place.What made our trip even more special was how the Emerald Grande created the perfect setting for celebrating family milestones. Destin is already a gem, but this resort takes it to another level.We left with full hearts, incredible memories, and can’t wait to come back. If you’re looking for luxury, comfort, and an unforgettable experience in Destin, the Emerald Grande is the place to be!

Emerald Grande...More Like Disney Springs

We booked a penthouse, Gem of Emerald Grande, and were excited to spend a relaxing week. It was not as relaxing as we expected. Pros: -The penthouse was big and had a nice view. - Location of Emerald Grande provides accessibility to a lot of activities and restaurants-They have an onsite spa-They have a "private" beachCons: - Unit could use new mattresses, bedding, furniture repairs, and a better cleaning service. Silverware was dirty, hair on toilets and in shower. -WiFi is AWFUL. Super slow, thank goodness we bought our hot spot- No streaming services, period, so you are stuck with cable-even though they remind you to bring all your logins to stream on every confirmation email. - Pool is a complete joke. Footballs, volley balls, water balls,taking up the WHOLE pool. No life guard or pool attendant. Literally felt like a water park and people were mad. - Family "hot tub" which was just as bad as the pool. Kids screaming, diapers, are little kids supposed to be in hot tubs? -Boats coming in and out all the time, blarring music, pirate ship shooting off cannons, and it was very loud all the time.-On site concierge MIA-Private beach isn't actually private, it's a 10 minute boat ride, and there is no bathroom or services. -Elevator broken most of the week. We spent a lot of money on this trip, to only stay away from the unit other than to sleep. Emerald Grande needs to decide what it wants to be. We will never, ever go there again.

Awesome location

We parked our car and never drove again until checkout! Penthouse condo was everything that was advertised. Very clean and great views! Nicely decorated. Free shuttle to private beach was a plus! Everything is walking distance right outside your door! Nice shops and restaurants.

All inclusive, perfect getaway with family

We had the best time visiting Destin with our little family! This PH had everything you need to get you started. Emerald Grand offers a free beach water taxi to a private beach, and there's shopping and dining all in walking distance. Park your vehicle and enjoy!

I highly recommend the condo we stayed in. It was wonderful... it was very spacious, clean, comfortable, and with one of the best views of the gulf we have ever had on any of our stays in the Destin area. I would recommend your VRBO to any of my friends.

A few things

A few things. I had emailed the property manager prior to staying asking if there was a Keurig, answer was only a drip machine. I know that seems minor but I shopped specific for that. The listing says there is a grill there isn’t. Not in condo nor on property, again shopped for that. We had done groceries prior to checking in. Also, I felt the condo was nice. Great spot. Just dated furniture and it wasn’t super clean. The kitchen counter had a sticky substance in it that I had to scrub off. Floor was dusty couldn’t be bare foot. It is a beautiful locations and great views. Just those few things.
