This property was amazing. Rooms were very clean great amenities and all. And the ocean view was breathtaking. Waking up and opening the sliding glass window and hearing the sound of the ocean is just so relaxing. I would definitely give this stay 5 stars

We have stayed at Emerald Beach many times and can’t say enough great things! Southern Vacation Rentals was very responsive to our minor housekeeping question and were quick to assist when needed. We would recommend Emerald Beach to anyone!

It was a great location and beautiful view of the ocean. My family had a wonderful time and hated to leave. No problem with outside noise or neighbors. Only a couple issues. The dryer didn't work and the hideaway bed mattress cover needed to be changed in our condo. Other than that I was pleased with my stay.

The location was the most positive thing about the property. Beautiful view and ocean front benefits were appreciated. The most negative elements of Emerald Beach was the condition of the unit. You would think that being charged a cleaning fee of one day’s rental would guarantee a clean unit… you would be wrong. The dishes were dirty and had to be washed prior to use; the countertops were gritty; rusted plumbing fixtures; filthy furniture which required covering with extra bedding just to sit on. On our last full day, the kitchen sink backed up and even though a plumber came promptly, he couldn’t resolve it because the blockage was in the wall. Nice plumber but not a good situation for renters needing to prepare dinner and breakfast the next morning before checking out. We stayed here many years ago and really enjoyed it but will choose a different property next time.
There is no extra storage for bags, suitcases, etc for those staying on the couch bed and bunk beds. The outlets next to the bed didn't work when we arrived and neither did the box fan in the closet. Other than that, it was clean, close to the beach etc and otherwise great! 4/5 stars

Everything was excellent!! The gulf view was amazing, being able to see all the many types of fish with binoculars. Unbelievable!!
A must see from the 25th floor.

Nice place to stay
We were overall very pleased with Unit 1028 and plan to revisit in the future! Everything was perfect other than the sofa which was very uncomfortable.
