We were very satisfied with our stay here. It was exceptionally clean and well maintained. There are plenty of amenities and lots of extra electrical plug ins which also added to convenience. That’s a definite plus for me. Easy beach and pool access with outside bathrooms close to both. Would definitely stay here again anytime! Highly recommend!
The view was great. Could use some updating. Bed is very uncomfortable and the shower gets warm but not hot like most showers. Other than that it was decent for what we needed.
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.

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.
We initially had a hard time finding the correct building, but I called the host and got immediate feedback. The property was immaculate and extremely well-stocked! The beach service was phenomenal and greatly appreciated! This property also included one free admission to a dolphin excursion which was amazing! I would definitely recommend this property to friends and family!!
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.

Disliked: Communication
We came from IL. I messaged the host to see about parking passes because i forgot mine. Never got a message back. I did get ahold of travel person who got us parking passes. The view is absolutely gorgeous. Great location. It is a smaller condo. We had 2 adults and 3 kids and it was pretty crowded. Elevator quit working had to call it in and it didnt get fixed till the next day. The kitchen light didnt work. But over all the place got the job done and had a great view!
It was nice but not the beat we’ve stayed at in ft Walton.
The stay was fine.

The condo was perfect for my family. We will definitely be back.
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.
