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.

HOLTZCLAW FAMILY VACATION 2025

Really enjoyed the property. Great location, and really enjoyed the Hot tub, and the Theatre room. One complaint, the property was not well cleaned. We had an infant drop something on the floor as soon as we walked in, and it rolled under the couch. When we moved the couch there was a lot of trash. We found an old Oreo cookie, and several other food items. Overall really enjoyed the property and would rent again.

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!

Beautiful spacious house

This property was very spacious and accommodated our group very well. It was a short walk to the beach. The kitchen was well outfitted for cooking and the two refrigerators was a nice bonus. We enjoyed the beautiful pool and the movie room. Maintenance was very responsive and the property was generally in good condition. I would recommend it.

Nicest house we've rented

The whole family thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The home layout was perfect for our needs. Kitchen was well stocked with plenty of cookware and utensils. The kids loved the outdoor areas and the garage game room! We all appreciated the option of having the pool heated since we were there in October. Management was excellent during our stay, and contacted us several times making sure our needs were met. Would not hesitate to stay here again!

Great location, Beautiful home, ocean views. Perfect for a large group!

This was our first time to Destin and we were pleasantly surprised. We loved the beachside town feel and walked almost everywhere. The house is in a perfect location — right across the street from the beach! We’re an active family who loves the beach so this spot could not be more perfect. The house is beautiful and great for a large group. We stayed in the downstairs master bedroom and I had a hard time leaving that jacuzzi bathtub behind. The kitchen had everything we needed and when we weren’t hanging out in the kitchen/bar area we were in the amazing salt water pool! I had never been in a salt water pool before and it was glorious! Can’t wait to return to Destin and stay here again!”

This place checked ALL of the boxes!

Our big family beach hops each summer, staying along the Alabama/Florida coast. This property not only checked all of the boxes for what we were looking for but is literally across the road from the beach entrance and has a nice sized pool. There were multiple refrigerators on site. The theater was excellent! The rooms were big. Communicating with the management team was a dream. They were available by text at all hours. We had an issue with the refrigerator, I text them, a tech was over the next morning. Would definitely recommend!

Fun property for all ages & great location

We had a group of ten that stayed at the Emerald Palace. Every room is the house is very spacious, large kitchen to accommodate large groups, and good size pool. I can’t say enough about the location. Our group enjoyed riding the golf cart around, however it was actually so close to the beach we walked across the street each day and didn’t need it for that at all. The game/movie room is a great addition that we spent a lot of time in. The property manager was very responsive anytime we had a question and we had no issues the entire stay. We look forward to staying here again soon. Thanks to the entire Harleman Vacation Rentals team for a great week!

Family vacation.

We had our entire family of 11! The house is beautiful, there was enough room for everyone and the location was great. I highly recommend renting the golf cart and having the beach chair and umbrella set up. We also had the pool heated because we were there the end of April. I gave a four star rating because the bathrooms and kitchen were clean but the floors did not appear to be swept or vacuumed and the glass doors were not cleaned. I also think it would be helpful to have a folder that stays with the property with information on house amenities, guest rules and check out requirements, phone numbers for contact of managers etc. That said we had a great time.

2022 Family vacation

We had 8 adults and 2 kids - 9 and 15. The house was great! There was lots to do and no one ever got bored. There were only a couple ver minor issues - there is a pool table but no cue sticks so I bought a couple at Walmart. We could not get the ice maker to work so we bought a bag of ice. It would have been nice to have a golf cart but the short walk to the beach and Crab Trap did us good 😊 The complimentary beach chairs & umbrellas were awesome!! I would definitely stay there again!!

Great house for a large group

There was certainly enough room for a big group and the chair and umbrellas set up service was perfect. Extra drinking glasses were needed, especially wine glasses. The cabinet set up is awkward and too high to put the glasses away. There is a leak in the Laundry room and garage which needs addressed.

Lynch Yearly Family Vaca

We had 17 family members. Our teens really enjoyed the game room-media room. The walk to the beach wasn’t bad at all. We were serenaded each night by the frogs out back. The only complaint I have was the washing machine. It was so small for such a large house. We could wash very few items at a time and didn’t actually feel things got clean. The oven door didn’t close tightly but everything still baked fine. Overall we really enjoyed Emerald Palace and would enjoy staying there again
