About this property

Emerald Key 603: Beachfront Balcony, 6th floor, corner unit!

Summary:

Emerald Key 603 is perfectly positioned on the west corner of the 6th (top) floor, offering a spacious wrap-around balcony with breathtaking Gulf views. This low-density building with just 18 residences ensures a peaceful beach and uncrowded pool experience. Fully renovated in 2025, the condo features new appliances, fresh paint, updated furnishings, a well-equipped kitchen, Wi-Fi, in-unit washer/dryer, BBQ area, and a beachfront pool—everything needed for a relaxed, upscale coastal stay.



The Space:

Emerald Key 603 truly is the place to be—NEWLY REMODELED in 2025 and ideally located in the heart of Orange Beach. Just minutes from premier shopping, dining, and entertainment, this boutique beachfront complex offers a rare sense of privacy with only 18 total residences (three condos per floor across six stories). The result is a quieter, more relaxed stay with a less-crowded beach and pool—a true luxury along the Gulf Coast.



Situated on the west corner of the top (6th) floor, Emerald Key 603 features a spacious wrap-around balcony with beautiful Gulf and beach views. Inside, the condo showcases fresh coastal décor with vibrant accents, thoughtfully updated furnishings, and everything needed to feel right at home. The open living area includes a comfortable sofa, recliner, accent chairs, wall-mounted TV, and direct balcony access—perfect for relaxing after a day in the sun. The dining table seats six, with additional seating for four at the kitchen bar.



The fully equipped kitchen features stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops, a Keurig, a traditional drip coffee maker, and a crockpot—ideal whether you plan to dine out or enjoy a home-cooked meal.



The primary suite offers a king bed, private balcony access, and a beautifully updated en-suite bathroom with a walk-in tiled shower. The second bedroom also features a king bed, while the third bedroom includes a captain’s bunk (twin over full). These two bedrooms share a full bathroom. A queen sleeper sofa in the living room allows the condo to comfortably accommodate up to 8 guests. A dedicated writing desk is included for guests who may need to work remotely.



For added comfort, all bedrooms feature blackout drapes—perfect for slow mornings and restful sleep. High-quality beds, linens, and furnishings are a top priority, and our many repeat guests confirm the comfort and care provided. A Pack-n-Play is also available for families traveling with little ones.



Step outside and enjoy the sights and sounds of the Gulf—bring binoculars to watch dolphins play or simply relax to the rhythm of the waves. The Blue Angels from nearby Pensacola frequently fly directly in front of the condo, offering an unforgettable bonus experience.



Located directly on Perdido Beach Boulevard, Emerald Key is surrounded by convenience. Multiple shopping centers sit just across the beach road, including Walmart, Rouse’s Market, Dollar General, and a walk-in medical clinic. Publix is approximately one mile away, and nearby restaurants such as Moe’s Barbecue and many local favorites provide endless dining options.

Fun Family Trip

This was our 2nd time to stay in this condo. Both times we found it to be clean, fully stocked, and beautifully decorated. There was no wait for the elevator and the beach outside was not as crowded as some we have been to. It is across the street from grocery stores and good restaurants. Very convenient. We have come to Gulf Shores/Orange Beach for about 15 years and this is our favorite place to stay.

Loved the property and location

The property and location were great, had a not great experience checking in. I’m sure it was just a miscommunication but it made the checkin stressful. Was supposed to have gotten an email about checking in that I never received, ended up having to call multiple people multiple times to finally get an answer, the office to get the key said it was open but was closed and no one on the property could help. Finally got a phone call back about where to locate the key and was told I should have gotten an email, but I didn’t. Like I said I’m sure it was all just a miscommunication but at the end of the day it made the start of stay rocky.

Great time, great location, great weather ....

The property itself was as advertised. We enjoyed our stay very much. The beach was crowded, but it was "less crowded" for us because the building was smaller and didn't have too many units. Most annoying thing is all the empty umbrellas and chairs crowding the beach and blocking views. They should just put them up when they are purchased/rented. This obviously isn't the owner's fault, but as a guest would want to know this kind of info.

We certainly enjoyed our stay! Nice to have kitchen, washer & dryer use. TV’s were great also. If I could say one thing that would make it nice is after you get your keys be able to get into unit. Pick up keys 3-5 but not to get in till 4pm. Ms Lynn was so helpful though to get us in.

Great Unit and GREAT location

We loved our stay at the Emerald Key and especially unit 603. It was exactly as advertised and was even more equipped than we expected. The pool was a little small but etiquette for the amount of units in the condo and the beach access was a very short walk. We really enjoyed the location as you can walk and get anything you might have forgotten to bring. We tried to book it again for next year while we were still on our trip but it was already booked. Would highly recommend.

A perfect beach location

A lovely accommodation. Not quite as spacious as it might appear in the photos, but comfortable for 4 adults. The balcony is perfect for relaxing., but there was construction going on next door.. Our week-long stay was, regretably, cut short by storm weather from Hurricane Ida, but the property managers were gracious in working with us. The kitchen is well-supplied, but plan to buy/bring extra TP, dishwashing liquid and dishwasher pods if staying for more than a few days. Two grocery stores are conveniently located jacross the road.
