Emerald Dunes #405 | Luxe Gulf Front Condo + Pool

Wonderful condo. Great location, clean, easy to check in. Great experience and we’ll definitely be back!

Great stay, close to the beach. Had everything we needed! Would stay again!

The condo was just as advertised! Very nice! Balcony was a little small but everything else was great!

Totally loved the location and access to the beach

This VRBO was very clean and in a wonderful spot! Beautiful view!

Amazing and outstanding

We found the property to be well kept and enjoyed the proximity to the beach. The beach attendant was helpful and we enjoyed having our beach chairs and umbrella set up and ready for us each day. The kitchen was well stocked and all utilities worked well. The bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable and clean. Only issue was the outside noise from the street. I don’t think this is the fault of the property manager, just the busyness of the Destin area during this time of year. Also, we had a leak from the ceiling of the unit and called the number given at check in. The answering service said the property manager had left for the day and we would need to wait until the morning. My daughter had already slipped and fallen on the puddle of water (which is how it was discovered) and we didn’t want to be emptying a bucket throughout the night or the property to be damaged. So we took it upon ourselves to go upstairs to the unto above and determined their washer had flooded the hallway in their unit, resulting in the leak. Once they were able to contain the water, the leak stopped. Had we not communicated with the neighbors above, or had they not returned quickly to clean it up, the damage could have been much worse. We found it to be unacceptable that we were told to wait until the next day for a leak of that degree where a stream of water was steadily coming through. I don’t know if this is an issue with the property manager or the answering service.

Our trip was a success, and we only had one complaint. On the day of our checkout at 9 am mind you, housekeeping decided to ring our doorbell and proceed to walk in without permission. We told them that our checkout time is at 9 am and why are you an hour early. They apologized and I guess forgot they already came to our room. 30 mins later, housekeeping walked into our room again, and that's when we became annoyed. I give our stay 7 out of 10, only due to housekeeping coming in our room on 2 separate occasions, and that was the only thing that would have made our trip perfect.

Dryer burnt several pieces of clothing. Parking pass and voucher for umbrella and chairs were not in room. Security aka deputy dog is over the top ridiculously strict. Everything else was amazing.

The location of this condo was great however the family renting above us all week with 4 young kids got up every morning at 06:45am and ran back and forth slamming doors. So much for a relaxing vacation and sleeping in. They didn't leave a beach chair and umbrella voucher so had to play the email and text game for 2 days before they would allow us to get our chairs on the beach. Would have been nice to have them the first day we arrived but with out the voucher they told us they couldn't do anything even though there were multiple chairs not being used all day. They are included with your rental so they should have been available to us the first day. Our check out was at 0900am our last day and the cleaning lady came barging in at 07:45 am and scared my daughter. Happened again at 0800am so we decided to just leave and hour early. I thought it was extremely rude considering that we couldn't check into the property on our first day until exactly 4pm unless you want to pay $60.00 extra to enter one hour early. We left our place spotless so I know it was available by 10am for the following family to check early and enjoy the day.
