After a day spent at the beach, spend your evening relaxing in front of the TV before resting your head on the comfy king bed in the bedroom. The bathroom features a luxurious walk-in shower. You'll feel like you're in your own private spa!

Ice maker had black mold in it, the roaches were bad, the TV in bedroom didn't work. Needs a little bit of paint. The bed was terrible in one side. But the pillows were great. I will be back next year.
Response from VrboOwner on 17 Jul, 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear you enjoyed the pillows and that you plan to return next year—we truly appreciate your continued trust.
We're very sorry to learn about the issues you experienced during your stay.

We have shared your comments with our maintenance and housekeeping teams so these items can be thoroughly inspected and addressed.
Thank you again for bringing these concerns to our attention. We look forward to welcoming you back next year and providing you with a much-improved experience. Warm Regards, Benchmark Management

Wonderful stay! Very clean property. Perfectly situated between Seaside and Rosemary Beach. Very comfortable and quiet space. I could see living there! The unit is on the end, closest to the the boardwalk to the beach. We felt very safe and secure there. The beach was populated in that area, but not crowded. There was distance between groups of people on the beach. Over all, a wonderful and relaxing stay. We will be back.

Can’t beat the location or proximity to the beach! Beach below is private to condo which was nice to avoid overcrowding. Optional chair and umbrella service for daily fee. Convenient bike rentals across the street for riding to dining or nearby towns on the trail. We are a family of 4- and plenty of space. Nice sized living room and plenty of space for sleeper sofa plus an air mattress for our teens.

My wife and I took our 14 month old on his first beach trip. Everything about this condo was perfect. Walk straight out on the beach. It was very easy to load and unload from the beach with our little one. Definitely will be booking Emerald 9 for next year!
