Condo was a great fit for four couples. Being right on the beach was a great bonus. We spent lots of time on the balcony watching the ocean.

Parking is a major issue when staying at a unit that accommodates 14 people.. Only : parking passes provided
Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 11 Aug 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you chose to stay with us, but we understand your frustration regarding the parking situation. Parking availability is determined by the property's HOA and is limited to two parking passes per reservation, regardless of the unit's occupancy capacity. While we recognize this can be challenging for larger groups, especially in a home that accommodates up to 14 guests, these restrictions are in place to ensure adequate parking for all owners and guests within the community. We understand this may not have been ideal for your group's needs and appreciate your comments. Feedback like yours helps us identify areas where we can better communicate important property details before arrival so guests can plan accordingly. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope you otherwise enjoyed your stay.

I have never been so happy with a rental before. The accuracy of the description of the condo was perfect. Actually, I was better in person. I took all my kids and grandkids on a vacation. 13 humans in all. We had a BLAST. Everything was clean and decorated beautifully. The views are spectacular. The beach is just steps away. The host was amazing to deal with and the check in and check out was very easy.

Yearly family vacation

Every year we go to Destin for family vacation. First time staying here and it was the best condo we have stayed at. It was clean, and very roomy for the whole family. Close to all the attractions and can’t beat the view of the beach. Highly recommend this place.

This place was soooooo nice. We loved every thing about it

The only problem we had was checking out @ 9am when our flight wasn’t until 5 pm. Tried to get a later check out but not flexible. My almost 90 yr old mom doesn’t even usually get up till 10

We are so happy that you enjoyed your Destin Vacation at Emerald Dunes. We are sorry that you were unhappy with our check-out times. We do have to allow adequate timing between guests for proper cleaning and sanitization and because someone was checking in on the day you departed, we were unable to offer you a later check out. We look forward to hosting you on your next Destin Vacation!

Family reunion beach trip

Great condo on a beautiful beach. Very spacious condo worked well with our mixed ages family group of 10. The upstairs loft and bedroom is a perfect kid play area and so many bathrooms we didn’t even use one. Our family also rented the condo next door so it was perfect our whole group of 18 had the top floor of this condo building to ourselves. Better than a house as we could get together when we wanted but separate. Our entire group was ages 2- 72 yrs and everyone loved it. Proximity to the beach was really great for walking back and forth to the condo. Management was very responsive and prompt with the few things we needed to work out. Only complaint is the one elevator is very slow so when busy as when people arriving end leaving the wait up and down is slow, but not a constant issue.

Thank you for the wonderful review of our beach condo. We're delighted to hear that your family group of 10, and the additional 8 guests in the neighboring condo, enjoyed the spacious layout and amenities of our property. The feedback about the slow elevator during peak times is noted, and we will work on addressing this issue. We appreciate your understanding and are glad that the overall experience was a positive one. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

Beautiful condo on a beautiful beach

We had a group of 10, 5 adults and 5 children. The 5 boys were all quartered in the loft area. The 5 and 7 year old took the bunk beds, the 2 year old twins slept in the queen bed which were in the upstairs bedroom and the 13 yr old slept on the sofa bed in the loft tv room. That left a king master for my husband and I , a king master for my older daughter and her husband and the othet king bedroom with attached bathroom for my 32 year old daughter. Worked out great. Very spacious. We never felt crowded even though there were 10 of us in the condo. The only thing that could be improved is the loft tv which warred with the downstairs tv because it is along the open wall of the loft. If it was moved to the other wall or even into the bedroom it would be perfect.

Nice condo and beautiful beach.

Place was very nice but had some items that needed repairs… shower doors wouldnt close in main bathroom so the water always ran out, and there was a leak that came through the ceiling. Also garbage receptacle was 6 floors down and you had to go outside the gate of the building with the ID code, etc every time. Very inconvenient. Otherwise nice property

Thank you for letting us know about your stay at Emerald Dunes 602. We were glad to see that you found the condo to be nice and you loved this convenient location right on the beach. The shower doors and leak have been addressed and are no longer an issue. We are sorry you were inconvenienced by the location of the trash receptacle, but the Homeowner’s Association felt that it would be more aesthetically pleasing to owners and guests to have the trash situated away from the building and valuable parking spaces.

Very nice place

Really enjoyed renting here. It’s away from the spring break crowds so it is better for a family and children. The only challenge is that people who aren’t staying at the property come and park in the lot during the day, making parking more of a challenge. There must be a lot of people in the area who know the code.

A beautiful stay on the coast of Destin. This condo was the perfect size for our group and had a gorgeous location. It lacked a few essentials like blow dryer, salt and pepper, and garbage bags. a few things were broken in the kitchen, but the overall stay was fantastic

It was nice overall.

There were several minor issues at the property. The issues were addressed quickly, but it was a little disappointing based on the price per night. The wooden bed frame in one bedroom was broken, the master bed room would get extremely hot and several of the dishes were dirty even though they were put up as clean.

Great condo location. Condo is kept up with all the bells and whistles.

Loved this condo! Beachfront and minutes from all of Destins best attractions. The property itself is kept up well. The decor of the condo has a bright beach flow that just calms your soul. Our rental came with 2 beach chair and umbrella which gave us beachfront seating without waking us at the crack of dawn. This condo is very spacious.
