The condo was a close walk to the beach and across the street from Alvin’s, which my kids really appreciated. We were a bit disappointed with the condition of the condo when we checked in. There were grapes on the floor in the living room area, the kitchen sink had dried tomatoes and sauce stuck to the bottom that we had to scrub off, and my son found mold all over the decorative pillows in the bunk room that he happened to be laying on. We really did enjoy our time otherwise & appreciated the short walk to the beach.

Annual Family Trip

This is the easiest stay in Destin! The location is amazing. Right in the center of everything. The rooms were big as well as the bathrooms. Perfect for our family. The kitchen helped for quick lunches and two nights of dinner. Walking distance to Pompano Joe's, Alvin's is right across the street, beach access is at the corner, and the pool is right there. It could not get any easier. Can't wait to come back!

Loved it!!!!

The condo is beautifully decorated. I have small children and I was skeptical about the unit being across from the beach but the walk to the beach took no time. Ms. Janet was very accommodating and the kids love the welcome treats. We cooked alot and the condo was fully equipped. The beds were clean and comfortable. The kids love the bunk beds. Look forward to stay again in the future.

Great unit

Great first floor corner unit. Spacious and wel equipped. Nice decor. Great location. Easy beach access. Caution to those who have trouble with stairs - beach may be out of the question for you. All nearby beach access requires a flight + of stairs. So nice they provided beach chairs, umbrella, and cooler. Would recommend .

Hi Trina, Thank you for the lovely review on your stay. All of our units are fully stocked and prepared for any essentials a guest could need. The majority of Destin's private beaches have stairs to get to the beach because of the protective sand dunes behind the properties. Yes, every unit is stocked with two beach chairs, an umbrella, and a beach cooler. There is also beach service down at our beaches. We hope to see you again!

Great location within walking distance of pompano joes, Alvin’s, Bad *** coffee, and our favorite Frozen Dune Rolled Ice Cream! The rooms each had a private bath, the kids bedroom was perfect for our kids, including our 2 year old that slept on the trundle bed. We would definitely stay here again!

Way more than I could have imagined.

Emerald Waters condo is my favorite place to stay when when are in Miramar Beach area! This is my 4th time. The beach is right across the street. Alvin's Island is next door. It is quiet but close to everything. However, we have gone from 2 to 7. Those accommodations were easy for this condo. The decor was lovely, the arrangements of everything were lovely. Everything was clean. There were plenty of towels. We had a great experience here. Will def be coming back!

Clean, spacious condo with a great location!

We had a great time during our stay at Emerald Waters! It was beautifully decorated & very clean. There were snacks and beverages awaiting us when with we arrived as a welcome gift. The location was perfect! Being the corner condo on the first floor allowed us easy access to the pool & the beach. You only have to walk a few steps to cross the road to enter the beach through a private access gate. Even on Memorial Day weekend our section of the beach was not very crowded. It was so nice of Ms. Janet to have beach towels, beach chairs, coolers, and boogie boards available in the condo for us to use. We contacted her a couple of times over the weekend to ask questions & she was quick to respond and very helpful. We would recommend this condo 100% to anyone.
