We really enjoyed staying at this condo. The condo was very clean. The kitchen was super clean and well organized. There is a washer and dryer in the condo which was helpful. The views of the ocean are amazing from the condo. The beach was just a short walk around the block. We brought a wagon and it worked wonderful to take our items to the beach. We also really appreciated the sand toys at the condo! We did not feel like it was out of date. A couple pieces of furniture were older, but it was great otherwise! The Emerald has awesome amenities, including a beautiful pool, poolside grills, and a movie theater. Our only concern would be the many rules at the Emerald, such as no guests except those listed on the reservation, guests have to wear a wristband, and they expect you to be quiet. Our children are not very quiet lol, but we did not get any complaints so maybe it wasn't too big of an issue. All in all, this was a great place to stay.
