This property was much more than we expected. Upon arrival our response was “WOW”. Our Host was easy to communicate with from beginning to end of our visit. This property was perfect for our family, everyone having their own bedroom/bath and the social/kitchen area was perfect as well as many other amenities. This home was our “OASIS” away from our homes for OUR traditional FAMILY VACATION DESTIN STYLE

Incredible house for a great week in Destin! We were absolutely blown away when we walked into the house. It was exactly as described but even more impressive in person. Across the street from the beach, great pool (paid for heat which was a great decision) and hot tub, both of which were heavily used by kids and adults! I have stayed in a lot of vrbos and none have been so well stocked with supplies (pits/pans/plates/those kinds of things) that made cooking and feeding 10 people quite easy. Grill, firepits, backyard games, and movie theater were all used heavily. We also got the beach service which was also a great decision so we didnt have to bring chairs and shade down with us. We enjoyed the beach from 9-5 almost every day thanks to that! Also the home has beach carts, chairs, and boogie and skim boards. 10/10 would stay again. Hosts were also great communicators!

Great location almost right across from a beach access. Worked well for our family of 20 with 7 bedrooms and 2 full size refrigerators. Lots of baby and kid equipment available. Nice size pool with towels included. Loved the sitting area by the lake for morning coffee and fire pit for evenings.

This house had the best backyard we have ever had in Destin. With the bocce ball court, turf to play soccer, bags, ping pong table and a nice pool and hot tub, it kept the kids and teenagers entertained. The bedrooms were all very decent size with nice bathrooms. The only downfall was the lack of an ice maker. We will most likely be back to this house again.

This is great to hear! We are so glad that you enjoyed the home and its amenities! Thank you for your feedback; we understand that ice is a must and we've asked the local manager to check on the ice maker to make sure that it is in good working order. We really enjoyed hosting your group and hope to have the opportunity to do so again. Thank you!

Annual family vacation

Our extended family stayed at the beautiful Emerald Palace. All agreed it was the best house yet! Great location and spacious rooms. It was awesome watching 2 Pacers playoff games in the movie room. Definitely will stay again. Golf cart and beach service was so easy and set up ahead of time.

Great Stay!

We had a great stay at Emerald Palace! We had great communication prior to our trip so we didn't have to stress about details. The location was perfect- right across the street from the beach. We really enjoyed our golf cart rental and took advantage of it with nightly trips for ice cream. The theater room was excellent to entertain kiddos on cooler mornings and the heated pool didn’t disappoint! Would highly recommend and look forward to staying again in the future!
