Condo was exactly as expected. Loved the bar stools on the balcony as opposed to the normal table. Very clean.

We really enjoyed our beach vacation staying at this location. The condo was clean and had plenty of storage space to be able to unpack and put everything away. The location was perfect with being right on the beach. The balcony was nice to sit out on early morning and evening with a beautiful view.

We stayed at emerald towers west from Jan 1 to March 9 That place was very nice. It was clean,well equipped with everything the view was great and we enjoyed it a lot. Hannah and the people at Brooks and Shorey Resort were very nice. The only thing wrong was the mattress was sagging on one side. Great time

We love Okaloosa Island because it’s never crowded. So many delicious restaurants within 5 miles radius. Free beach service is so convenient. 4003 is a beautiful 1 bedroom unit with 1 large bathroom. We loved the roomy floor plan. Furniture in the living area is very nice and comfortable. We loved the balcony furniture. There is abundant storage available. The bunks in the hallway are not comfortable, thin and very hard. King bed in master is firm but comfortable. Booking is always simple and everyone is very helpful at Brooks & Shorey. I’ve used them for years.

Reviewer Comments:
We were looking forward to a quiet, relaxing vacation while staying in Emerald West Unit 4003. The Unfortunately the property pictures did not accurately portray the living room furniture. The comfortable recliner chairs were nowhere to be found in this unit. There was not a comfortable chair in the entire condo. Previous reviewers commented on the "sloping bed". That has not been corrected. It feels like you are going to roll out of the bed because it sags along the side.These are issues that the owners need to address.
Overall wonderful experience! Room was clean and updated georgeous view very nice stay!!!

The condo was perfect for my family. We will definitely be back.
This was a really great place to stay, it was very clean. In a really great location, the property managers were really amazing and reached out to let us know about everything we needed. My kids had a great time, and loved how close the walk to the beach was. Thank you for an amazing stay.
My kids and I enjoyed our stay and will definitely keep this place in mind for our next trip. Very clean condo, comfortable and great views! Easy access to the beach, too. Thank you!!
Check-in was very easy. Upon arrival, our unit was very clean and the view from the balcony was beautiful. The property manager was also quick to respond to any questions or concerns. We have recommended this to all of our friends and family!
The condo was nice...could use some updating...and tile floors could use a cleaning...other than that...was very relaxing and LOVED being right on the beach...Also put balcony to good use. Will be back for sure.
It was a very nice property. Upstairs neighbors were a little loud at times, but it didnt effect my stay much at all. The Bed was to firm for me but the recliner was nice to sleep in. I would go back.

We were a bit disappointed with the check-in procedures- we were not aware of the possibility of not being able to get into our condo at the 4pm check in time. We did however enjoy our stay in 4003. The condo was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the emerald waters (a beautiful view from the condo's living room)

This was a return visit to this very good one bedroom condo on the beach. Great views from the balcony. Enjoyed the complimentary beach umbrella and chairs. Also enjoyed one complimentary sunset cruise. Only issue was the WIFI and cable went in and out several times on our first few days. Brooks & Shorey were responsive if we needed them.

Reviewer Comments:
The view and location was fantastic. However, the mattress needs to be replaced in the bedroom, the bathroom could use a paint job or a serious cleaning of the walls above and around the shower and the furniture in the living room and dining room are showing some wear. One of the chairs at the table has a leg that is unstable.
