we will for sure stay here again.

The unit had everything we desired. It’s a beautifully decorated place. Our stay at Emerald Dunes #401 was perfect. The unit was equipped with for our week long stay. The beds comfortable and the balcony was set up nicely to look at the beautiful beach. The unit had a pre lit tree set up for Christmas which made the whole unit glow with cozy twinkling lights. We loved it.

the place was in a wonderful location and newman daily were excellent to deal with.

The freebies they offered were wonderful and my husband enjoyed his free golf at a really nice course. The dishwasher had a little hiccup and Newman had someone to look at it within 2 hours. Would rent again with Newman for sure!!

everything was perfect!

This property is exactly as listed: newly remodeled, directly on the beach, and backed by a great management team. Our favorite parts were the adirondack chairs/patio and the included beach service. The location on the quieter west end is greatly desirable. Cannot recommend this property enough and already planning to return!

incredible stay

Ultra clean and updated condo right on the ocean. Beds are comfortable and kitchen has everything you need for a vacation. Large island that is used for a makeshift dinner table with plenty of seats. This is set in a very nice area of Destin just 5 doors down from the posh Henderson Beach Resort. You have your own "private" beach with only residents/guests of Emerald Dunes that can take up space. Nice to have gated oceanfront parking and is located literally 5 minutes from restaurants and shopping.

perfect! so clean too!

Beautiful, spotlessly clean condo directly on the beach! This place appears to have been renovated recently and has everything you need for a relaxing stay on the beach. The mattress was so comfortable and had high quality linens. The kitchen was completely stocked with any cooking utensils you could need to cook a gourmet meal. Easy checking/checking out and it came with two chairs and umbrella. Very walkable to restaurants on Scenic 98. Would absolutely stay again!

much needed beach vacation!

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this very well appointed condo. Steps away from the private area of beach with absolutely stunning views. Very short drives to all the food, shopping, and nightlife that you could want.

lovely beach vacay

Location: right on the beach with the most beautiful views! Couple steps down the private beach entrance and you are on the beach and in the water! Parking on site. Nice hotels, homes around this location, upscale area. So convenient to shopping, dining, and attractions (we didn’t travel more than 10 mins for anything, with grocery options <1 mile). Quiet location (on site and surrounding) made for a relaxing time!
