About this property
Beachfront~2 King Suites~Sunset Balcony~Family Resort w/Pool
🌅 Wake up to dolphins, sunsets, and sparkling Gulf waters at Emerald Dunes 402. We've just completed a total renovation on this beautiful beachfront condo including a BRAND-NEW KITCHEN and REMODELED BATHROOMS! Comfortable new furniture and decor welcome you to settle in and relax. You'll appreciate the new soft white paint and gorgeous tile floors throughout this beautiful space! NO CROWDS! There are only 27 condos in the building that share the LARGE PRIVATE BEACH. An ideal condo for 2-3 families with children - we sleep up to 9 people (7 in beds and 2 on the sofa sleeper). Emerald Dunes is one of the best SMALL complexes in Destin's Crystal Beach area! Located right across from Camille's restaurant. Added bonus: this ENTIRE RESORT is NON-SMOKING. That means you can sit by the pool, on the beach and on your balcony and not have to smell anyone smoking! This condo is our second home, and we invite you to use it as your own. Our 3-bedroom condo on the 4th floor is open and airy with beautiful furniture and decor. It has a nice open kitchen with granite countertops, front-loader washer/dryer, and BEACHFRONT KING BEDROOM SUITE. It has a balcony off the living room where you can sit and enjoy your morning coffee while watching the dolphins frolicking or have an evening cocktail watching the sunset. Our condo is the perfect place for your family to use alone or to share with friends. Because we have 2 KING suites, both with King-size beds, attached baths and Smart TVs, neither couple will have to sacrifice the “bigger bed.” The third bedroom is perfect for another couple or children with a Queen bed and a single upper bunk. You will be pleasantly surprised by all the 'extras' in our home that you would not normally find in a rental unit. No need to pack up your porta-crib, highchair, or sand toys, we have them all! And of course, you will love the white sand Destin beach that is just footsteps away. KING BEDROOM #1 and Attached Private Bathroom The Master suite has a King size bed with AMAZING views of the water from the bed. The beds are made with comfortable Egyptian cotton sheets. You'll also appreciate 2 nightstands, reading lamps, a dresser and Smart TV. The attached dressing area features a large, walk-in closet and a large vanity, mirror & sink, which nicely optimizes bathroom time since one can be showering and the other can be getting ready—which leaves you with more time to spend on the beach! The private ensuite bathroom has just been updated with a large step-in shower and a private commode room. There's another new vanity and sink in here, so it's a comfortable space to share. KING BEDROOM #2 and Attached Bathroom The KING Bedroom 2 has a King size bed with Egyptian cotton sheets, 2 nightstands, reading lamps, and a Smart TV. There is a large dresser and closet here too - so unpack and make yourself at home. The attached full bathroom has a tub/shower combination, hair dryer and large fluffy bath towels. This bathroom has a second door to the hallway and is shared with Bedroom #3 guests. BEDROOM # 3 Our third bedroom is a unique layout that can accommodate another couple in a Queen bed, or it would be a great spot for up to 3 children. It features a regular queen bed on the bottom and a twin-size upper bunk (with a regular twin mattress). There's also a closet, a nightstand and a Smart TV. This bedroom shares the full bathroom with the 2nd master. LIVING ROOM In our main living area, we have a brand-new queen-size sofa sleeper with reading lamps nearby, we also have additional comfortable seating, making this a great space to gather and enjoy beachfront living. We also have a Smart TV, a DVD player and a Bluetooth docking station so you can listen to your favorite tunes on your phone. The living room opens up to our balcony via sliding glass doors. BALCONY Our balcony features 4 chairs and two low tables, so you can sit and enjoy your morning coffee or evening beverages and take in the beach views. The balcony faces directly south so you can enjoy the morning sunrise and the evening sunset right from the balcony! FULLY RENOVATED KITCHEN January 2024 -Our kitchen renovation is complete with all NEW cabinets offering plenty of storage, granite counters, and a new island facing the ocean views! It's also one of the best equipped you'll ever find in a rental! Start your day off right with a cup of coffee on your private balcony. We have a Keurig & regular drip coffee maker. We also have a blender that will grind all of your ice for frozen drinks, toaster, hand mixer, and the other usual appliances, including a stainless-steel refrigerator that's conveniently located near the island and easy to access from the dining table. You'll appreciate having ample Bone China, glasses, forks, etc. so you don't have to wash your breakfast dishes before you eat lunch. We have Viking professional pots and pans and assorted baking pans. We also supply many “extras” such as cleaning products, trash bags, aluminum foil, and plastic wrap. The Dining area features a table and 6 chairs and 3 bar stools. EXTRAS in our CONDO For your convenience, we also have a washer and dryer, and iron and ironing board. A starter pack with one roll of paper towels, and one roll of toilet paper for each bathroom is provided, as well as basic cleaning supplies. And if you would like to keep up with friends, family or work while you are away, we provide free high-speed internet and WIFI.

Good Stay but Couple Improvements Needed
Excellent location, great beach access and very nice unit. Some of the little things that made the stay less than perfect was the elevator at the property is problematic. Very slow and got stuck a few times and was a rough ride at times. The elevator needs service/replacement as we always had to budget extra time simply because we did not know if it was going to take 1 minutes or 5-10 minutes for the elevator. Also, unit only had one roll of toilet paper in restrooms - we had to buy extra after 2nd day. Additionally, insufficient facial tissues and paper towels. Overall good stay with lots of pluses but not perfect/excellent.

Thank you Andrew for reviewing Emerald Dunes 402. We appreciate you choosing Sugar Palm Rentals for your time on the Emerald Coast and would love to be your host again sometime. As for those pesky elevators, they do get a lot of use and sometimes they just say "I quit". We are so sorry for that inconvenience and hope the Cam got it taken care of in a timely manner.
As far as the bathroom amenities, we have corrected that issue with 2 rolls for each bathroom. These are meant to be a starter kit for our guest, as most guest choose to purchase their own if they are staying awhile. The facial tissues are not something that is normally supplied, but we will certainly take it under consideration.
Again, we appreciate you staying with us and would love to have you come back again. Until then, have a great summer and stay well.
Your Sugar Palm Care Team
This property was amazing! This was our second time in three years staying in this Condo building for the week of July 4th. Our family loves the ability to walk right out of the condo and on to the beach. The condo is clean, spacious and has everything you need for an amazing vacation!

Very homey and beautiful view
We had a wonderful family vacation. Excellent location right on the beach. Far enough from large crowds on beach days but close enough to stuff to do all the touristy stops too. This was our first trip not staying at a hotel and everyone we interacted with was helpful and friendly. We would definitely return and recommend for a great vacay!!!
