Our condo was amazing! Very spacious and as beautiful as the pictures. It was right on the beach so it couldn’t have been better. The water was clear and blue! Shopping and restaurants were just blocks away in any direction! Management was easily accessible by phone or email. Not intrusive, just available! Who could ask for more! Thank you for a lovely stay!

The condo was nice. Plenty of room for my family, including 5 teens. Easy access to the beach and daily beach setup. Only downside is the small pool, located in the parking lot side of the building - but the ocean was perfect so we never used it!

Very easy to get out on the beach and it was a huge plus having the chair rental included. Layout was perfect for our family with the kids upstairs. It was nice to be able to walk to many places. We went to Camille’s for dinner one night and it was a 10 minute walk to get ice cream another night. The master and guest beds could have better mattresses for the price, but were fine for a short stay. Will definitely come back to Emerald Dunes in the future!

This was a very nice condo, great views of the beach and very relaxing. The condo was stocked well with what was needed, was clean and well maintained. The private beach and beach service made for a great experience and plenty of space. There is a lot to do and plenty of places to eat very close by. We for sure want to go back.

The view was amazing! Loved the size of the condo. It was larger than others we have stayed at, at a similar price. Modern, comfortable and very clean. Large pantry for our groceries, and a laundry room with nice washer & dryer.The bedroom upstairs with its own bathroom for the girls was a perfect fit. The beach chairs and umbrella set up for us every day was great! We'll be back!

We really enjoyed the condo and property it was perfect. The only concern in ref to the condo was the televisions were very difficult to work and the Wi-Fi was slow. In ref to the property the pool was cold.
