Wow, what a great vacation home in the Destin area! Located in the tranquil, gated neighborhood of Emerald Shores, this three story, four bedroom, three bath home sits in a cul-de-sac at the community pool and only a five minute walk to the beach! There is also a free tram service to the beach during the summer months! Recent updates include a new 51' Plasma TV with some high def channels, DVD players, and a new stainless steel Kitchen with granite counters!
Sit out on the wrap-around balconies or the first floor covered porch and enjoy the weather and the views of the neighborhood and pool! There is a distant water view from the third floor balcony!
This Caribbean cottage, named 'Caribe,' is decorated with a Caribbean theme and bright colors! It sleeps 12! The first floor has a spacious and open floor plan with tiled floors. The second floor is carpeted in the bedrooms and tiled in the bathrooms and has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a bonus room leading to the second floor balcony. The third floor is a loft area with twin beds with access to yet another balcony! High Speed internet access on 1st floor.
Emerald Shores has its own Beach Cabana with restrooms, picnic tables, and lounge chairs. There are also two heated pools, tennis court, shuffle board, and a basket ball court! Conveniently located to the Destin Commons Mall, the Silver Sands Outlet Mall, Golf, Restaurants, and more!
The Destin area is known as the Luckiest Fishing Village in the World! Deep sea fishing is very popular in the region. The sugary white beaches and the clear, sometimes Emerald Green waters give true meaning to the word, 'Paradise!' Destin is abundant with restaurants, bars, shopping areas, golf, and water sports.
Vacationing here is an annual, sometimes two to three times a year event for many families! You should come too! When you come once, you'll want to come again and again! Some people make this area home after just one visit! Come see why!
From Montgomery, AL but love Destin!
Bill or Terry purchased this house in 2001
Emerald Shores is a gated community with 2 pools, a tennis court, basketball goal, and a private beach cabana! No other neighborhood along this stretch of beach has a private beach cabana with restrooms, lounge chairs, and picnic tables! Great location too! Walk to the beach and restaurants along the beach! Close to the Destin Commons Mall and the Silver Sands Designer Outlet Mall!
Big home located right behind the bigger of the 2 pools in Emerald Shores! Nice covered 1st floor porch as well as covered wrap around 2nd and 3rd floor balconies. There is even a glimpse of the Gulf from the 3rd floor balcony!

�Best Vacation ever!!�
We stayed during the summer 2014 and will try to get same house this summer!! There was nothing we didn't like about the house! Very spacious and very clean!! Very short walk to the beach, but they still have a shuttle that will take you back and forth! Nice pool next to the house for the evenings! We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. We contacted the rental agency one time and quickly they came and assisted us. Thank you for the welcoming stay!

Had a great time during this visit. We have stayed at other places in the area and really enjoyed our stay this time. Short walk to the beach and the rental fit 11 of us with space to spare. I will definitely consider again.

Overall our vacation was excellent except for the, lock at beach got stuck an the armband thing really doesn't work. We tried to turn in our armbands for our $20 before 4pm like we were told the day before we left, but no one was there. So that kinda stinks. Because we lost our $20 and I think we paid a lot for our home. Those should've been included. My husband thought that was a scam, because you have a code to get into the beach and no one patrols the beach to check we're you are staying. But overall it was great stay.

We had 4 couples stay for 4 nights. We enjoyed the property very much - it was a good size, and the location was very good for the price, although it would have been nice to have a beach view. We did not mind the 1/4 mile walk to the beach. The private beach access with bathrooms and showers was great. The staff communicated well via e-mail and we always knew what was expected of us. The only downside was that my husband and I had our own bathroom in the master, but the other 3 couples had to share one bathroom on the second floor, which was a little difficult to coordinate. Overall, we had a great vacation.

Caribe at Emerald Shores was very nice. A few minor things in my opinion but others may not agree. The electrical outlet of master bedroom would not maintain connection for electrical current so could not use hairdryer in the bathroom. Spacious, comfortable and easy walking distance to beach and very close to swimming pool. We were also in walking distance to several restaurants. We enjoyed our stay.
Gated Community very close to the beach with a private beach cabana right on the beach! You'll find bathrooms, picnic tables, showers, and a short order cafe/bar right on the beach! No other neighborhood in our area has one!
