About the host
Hosted by Ed Rickers (owner), Yulia Rickers (Manager)
Ed & Celeste Rickers
We've been married 32 years and have five children, and 5 grandchildren and we're still honeymooning:-)!!! Trips to the beach are definitely part of our 'magic.'
Ed's mother moved 35 miles north of here around 1994 so our five children grew up coming to PCB and Shell Island for family vacations. We absolutely LOVE it here and love sharing the experience with others.
We purchased a one-bedroom condo in 2009 for Ed's father to spend the winters and for our vacations, and for sharing too. We now have more than 220 reviews in our four condos with a 4.8-star average in each condo.
We added a two-bedroom in 2015, vrbo.com/815352. We have more than 88 reviews with a 4.8-star average. We added a four-bedroom condo in 2018, vrbo.com/1328254 and we have 57 reviews with a 4.8-star average.
Yulia is our daughter-in-law. She immigrated from Ukraine in 2008 and married our son Spencer in 2016 and they a four-year-old son and a newborn son (April 29, 2021). They currently live in Meas, AZ where Spencer is attending his fourth year of dental school. They've been to the condo many times and love the beach.
What makes this Condo unique?
We offer our causal beachy no-rules vibe with quality and elegance combined with personalized service because we love it when people care enough about themselves and their loved ones to enjoy a beach vacation and enrich their lives with what we call "vitamin sea."

Why they chose this property
We like Emerald Beach managed by Wyndham International. They do a great job managing the resort and provide service that's second to none.
What makes this property unique
You get to work with Yulia, our daughter-in-law. Yulia is an immigrant from Ukraine. She put herself through college in a foreign land and our son was so lucky to meet and marry her. Yulia goes the extra mile because she LOVES making your family trip successful. She LOVES getting to know our guests and she often does extra things for birthdays, anniversaries, etc. She's wonderful and you'll love her and come back again and again like sooo many of our other regular guests.
For instance, here's the latest review (May 2022):
Emery Caroline L.Birmingham
Wow, where to even begin! I traveled here with three of my friends to celebrate graduating college. Knowing this, Ed and Yulia left us a very thoughtful graduation gift, complete with a balloon and card! This was just the icing on the cake of a wonderful stay. Unloading and parking was very easy, and the resort staff was friendly and helpful. The building is very clean and we had no issues with elevators being slow. The beach was so accessible and the chairs and umbrellas were an amazing part of our stay. The condo itself is GORGEOUS. Seriously, we felt so pampered. Everything was super clean and homey, and the decor was delightfully beachy. The view from the balcony is incredible!!! The weather was perfect too which just added to the stay. From start to finish, our trip was so easy. After seven hours of driving the smooth check in process and stay was much appreciated. Would love to come back as a reunion!
