Emerald By the Sea #1302
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Enjoy an outstanding view of the ocean and surrounding city from your own private furnished balcony! But fabulous views are just the beginning at this beach-inspired condo designed for family-friendly comfort. You will have access to all the first-class Emerald amenities, including a heated pool, hot tub, classy architecture, free parking, and easy walking access to the beach.
Inside, central air-conditioning keeps the entire condo cool, a ceiling fan in each bedroom will help everyone wind down comfortably, and the beds boast top-of-the-line Tempur-Pedic mattresses. Room-darkening shades can be closed if you're looking to get an even deeper sleep. The living area sofa bed provides an extra sleeping space. The semi-open kitchen features an enhanced refrigerator, a dishwasher, and a breakfast bar with room for four guests to enjoy a casual meal together.
In addition, guests can enjoy access to a shared pool and hot tub during their stay.

*The fitness center is only available to renters Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 7 am to 10:30 pm. Only adults 21 years and older are allowed in the gym. Guests are expected to bring a towel to wipe down equipment after using it.

Please note: this home resides in a noise-sensitive area and the owners participate in our Good Neighbor protection program. Our smart home technology will alert our team if excessive decibel or occupancy levels are detected, allowing us to reach out directly with a reminder of maximum occupancy and quiet hours. This technology is privacy compliant, and only monitors the presence of decibels and devices-not any personal conversation or information. Thank you for supporting our efforts to be good neighbors!
Damage waiver: The total cost of your reservation for this Property includes a nightly damage waiver fee, plus tax if applicable (the “Damage Waiver”). (A discount may be applied for stays of 28 nights or longer, if permitted.) The Damage Waiver covers you for up to $3,000 of accidental damage to the Property or its contents (such as furniture, fixtures, and appliances) as long as you report the incident to the host prior to checking out. The Damage Waiver fee eliminates the need for a traditional security deposit.
More information can be downloaded from the "Rental Agreement" on the checkout page.
