When choosing your next beach vacation destination, nothing beats the beautiful white sand beaches, emerald green waters, and abundant activities Destin Florida has to offer. Destin’s harbor district is located at the intersection of the Choctawhatchee Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. This makes Downtown Destin an ideal location for boating activities of all sorts. Since so many boats travel into the Destin harbor after a day of fishing, you can expect our dining establishments to have the freshest Gulf seafood possible. Destin’s harbor district offers all sorts of activities from amusement parks, a water park, boating, fine dining, and of course the beautiful beaches and magnificent views that make this area spectacular.
Considering Destin refers to itself as “The World’s Luckiest Fishing Village”, you can count on finding some of the best fishing Florida’s Gulf Coast has to offer. If you aren’t a fisherman, there are jet ski rentals, dolphin cruises, snorkeling adventures, private boat rental, pirate ship cruises, and pontoon rentals as well. Pontoon rentals are ideal if you would like to spend the day with the family at Crab Island. This is a roughly three feet deep area near the entrance to the bay where one can anchor their boat and relax in the shallow water for the day. Staying in downtown Destin will give you easy access to all the wonderful boating activities the region has to offer.
If the children or the adult in all of us are looking for a place to be entertained for the day, downtown Destin offers two wonderful amusement parks. Big Kahunas water-park is a great place to go cool down for the day. If you tire of the water-park, they also have a putt putt course, and two go-cart tracks. Right down the street from Big Kahunas is The Track amusement park. The Track offers several go-cart tracks, an arcade, bungee jumping, bumper boats, and another putt putt golf course for the whole family to enjoy.

Beautiful view of the ocean (Gulf). Clean, well stocked and plenty of great places to eat. What we loved the most was the sound of the ocean waves to rock us to sleep. Coffee on the balcony every morning overlooking the white beaches was something to remember. Great stay!

Thank you it was a great stay! Very comfortable! The only thing is that we couldn’t get the tv to work in the kids room and there was no condiments, coffee or laundry soap that alot of other rentals include like salt, pepper seasonings and stuff like ketchup.

Everything was perfect. The check in process was easy even with arriving on a Sunday. The property and the rental were both very clean. Lots of bedding and towels. The view was amazing. We are already talking about another trip. And everything we needed was close by.

My only complaint was dining table & chairs still had food crumbs on them. Breakfast bar sticky from food and master bathroom mirror had smears all over it. The condo location and accommodations were great and very convenient We’ll be back!! 😉

Thank you for bringing these items to our attention. We have reported these items with our housekeeping department and will have them rectified as soon as possible. Thank you again for being our guest.
This property was exactly as advertised and pictures displayed on listing are exactly the same as real life when you arrive. Clean, super convenient location, gated community (safety for vehicles and traveling gear), pool was clean and not crowded, beach at your fingertips!!! Mattresses are very comfortable, extra pillows and extra blankets are provided. Kitchen full stocked but not overly crowded. I LOVED our stay and will stay again the future!

The property looked just as pictured! Very clean..even the building itself! The hallways were clean, elevators are clean, fast and ventilated! Very nice feature in the Florida heat! I would recommend the area and unit to anyone! Beach is beautiful…disappointed there weren’t any shells, but the water and beach were fabulous!

My only concern with my stay there was there needs to be a rubber mat at the showers, where are you come off of the beach. The new treated lumber is extremely slick, and I fell the first morning was there. Thankfully, no serious injury, however fell directly on my hip, which could have resulted in a fractured hip. I would strongly recommend, putting some type of rubber mat, or some thing to prevent people from slipping as this is very dangerous. My three year old grandson also fell after rinsing his feet.

Lois, we are happy that you enjoyed your stay. We will reach out to the HOA about the boardwalk. Give us a shout when you would like to start planning your next vacation!
We found Emerald Towers on one of the Destin Facebook groups. It was a fantastic recommendation. Gated entry. Location right in the mix with several shopping areas and food options in walking distance. Nice heated pool. Easy walkway to the beach. 1104 was all that was listed and more. We loved that the trunk on the balcony had all the swim toys and sand buckets you could want. There were also beach chairs, pool noodles and swimming masks. The bedding was plush and comfy. The TVs were smart and easy to enter in your login for any app needed. Easy check in and check out process. My only suggestion would be for the front door to have some kind of adjustment so it doesn’t slam so hard EVERY SINGLE TIME you shut it. It could really injure a little kiddo.

Thank you for providing your feedback. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay.
Everything was as listed on the website. Beds were all comfortable. Kids said even sofabed was comfortable. Only a few minor issues were experienced, but nothing that was a major disaster.1. The door stopper falls nearly every time you open the front door, so if children don't make sure the door closes behind them then they will walk away leaving the entire condo open without realizing it.2. The oven wasn't working to get to temperature for us to make dinner, but we called maintenance the next morning and they scheduled repair guys to come fix it immediately. 3. The ceiling fan in the master bedroom had electrical issues that caused a few sleep disruptions. For example, the fan just has a mind of it's own, and the light would turn on or off or from medium to high on its own randomly making it difficult to leep when you need the ceiling fan on to stay cool.Suggestions: Second bedroom could benefit from a ceiling fan addition, and a full length mirror. This bedroom was dark to get ready for daily outings in with only table lamps for light. We had six people total. 2 adults, 2 teenagers, and 2 preteens. This condo was just the right size for our group, and very updated. We perfectly in the middle of everything. The outlet malls were a short 10-15 min drive in one direction, and the Harborwalk and Okaloosa Island a short distance in the opposite direction. The pool area was never really too crowded and was very family oriented. We are very nted.clotprovided.

Thank you for your review. We’re glad to hear that the maintenance issues were addressed quickly, and we truly appreciate your patience and understanding. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed your stay and that the property met your needs. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
I saved a few condos and deleted each one as I found something I didn’t like. Such as chairs and umbrellas, beach service, an actual 2nd room and not bunk beds, beach view etc etc. Nowhere in this listing does it warn you that umbrellas tents canopies are not allowed. There was no way I was paying $50 a day for beach service. That was a minus. Thank god our days were cloudy except one. I let the front desk know when booking the condo, the day before and also the day of, that I would be checking in 4am. Very happy for the portal with the gate and room code. If it wasn’t for that we would be stuck until Monday because they aren’t open on Sundays. But I did tell them I wake up early and like to exercise and walk on the beach. Could you send the beach and fitness room codes. They told me 3 different times they would leave the arrival packet in a silver box on side of the building. There was no arrival packet. Thankfully someone was coming in the gate and I asked and the gate code and fitness code was the same for both. Condo was beautiful. Clean!!! And the view was amazing. Communication/Organization could be better, and hopefully the rules of no umbrella and canopies don’t exist in the summer.

Having had negative experiences due to inaccurate information on listings and deceptive pictures, I held my breath as I opened the door to the condo. My son and I were taken aback by how beautiful the unit was. So thoughtfully decorated and the updates were amazing. Very clean! Not to mention the stunning view. The grounds were well kept too. The staff was friendly and very helpful. It was a wonderful experience!! Thank you!!!

Good location, good beach, no issues. One thing to note, some places I’ve stayed have miscellaneous cooking spices, oil, condiments left over from others. This unit did not, not even salt and pepper. So if planning to prepare food, pack or plan to purchase all ingredients, don’t assume you’ll find any basics.
