Overall, the property was nice, although it did say it was wheelchair accessible. The bathrooms were too small for my chair, i could not get on the balcony and nobody liked sleeping on the mattresses. The pull out bed on the couch didn't have sheets to go with it so sleeping was very uncomfortable. The mattresses can definitely use an upgrade, oh, and none of the tvs we're working. We did like the fact that it was on the beach and in the middle of everything. So it wasn't too far of a drive to go anywhere.

You pay for the view. Overall it was okay. Mattresses are cheap, there were no fitted sheets for the pull out bed. Fridge and dishwasher were very outdated, as well as the bar fridge. We had to buy trash bags because there were only 2 for the kitchen. All in all, I’d probably stay here again.

We chose the location for view and beach access. Both were wonderful and as expected. Unit needs a thorough cleaning and multiple repairs. Owner may want to look into a new cleaning crew. Very dirty. Light

Beautiful View - communication poor

First all what an amazing view and location. The air was not working. No one’s fault things happen, but the first 3 night of sleep were rather warm. I messaged the property manager and told them the air was not working and asked about the hot tub. I didn’t hear anything back so messaged about the air again the next day they said you say it isn’t working and told me it was working and said to be more specific. I just knew it wasn’t working. They could have asked the first day if they needed more specifics instead of letting.The response was rather rude. One of the things I looked for was a hot tub when booking. The manager came back and asked where I was getting hot tub. I went and looked at the description to make sure I had not mistaken. I replied and said it 100% says hot tub. They said they would have it removed from the listing however that did not do me any good. Cleanliness was very average. I knew the decor was outdated and didn’t really care just wanted the view, a hot tub and a pool. Half the outlets didn’t work as well as refrigerator light out. I did not message about this because I didn’t want the poor communication with the manager to stress my vacation and it wasn’t the end of the world just inconvenient. It was the 10th floor and was hoping that it would not be a problem. It was not. If you forgot something at the beach it just took a second to go up as the elevators are fast. I would stay in this location and or property again, probably not this condo. .

Staycation

A 5 Hour Dr. is a hop skip and a jump to this type of ocean and beach experience. Crystal aqua Beach views are priceless.The condo was beautiful and everything we needed since we wanted to feel like we were at home. Morning walks for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and a swim at the pool, followed up with a nice stroll and barbecue on their grills for dinner. The condo was clean and had all of the amenities we needed even seasoned salt. We will definitely be back.

Disappointed

The view was perfect! Inconveniences was the checking in but we were an hr early so I get that. But the gentleman was not helpful with his mannerism . Another reason why we chose the emerald towers is for the hot tub. They don't have one. Oh and the stove doesn't work and some of the burners on stovetop. Bring light bulbs next time.

Location is awesome, condo dated but very clean. Very strict checkin policy...if you arrive prior to 4pm you can't access the condo unless you pay an extra $100 we are in our 70's and had to hang around in the parking lot for 45 min until the door code would work at 4pm i have rented all over the world and have never run into this type of policy. landlord did respond quickly beautiful view and close to restaurants

Our Vacation

When we arrived, we were unable to get into our condo, and since it was after "office hours", we had to make several calls, and finally after an hour someone showed up to let us in for the night, but since we could not get back in again, when were unable to leave the condo. We had booked 6 nights, but the the first night was a total bust, and the host did not offer any compensation for this. The condo itself was clean, and the view the beautiful. The only other issue was when we tried using the oven to cook, and it did not work. I did notify the owner when we got back, so hopefully it works for the next person.

Destin stay

We enjoyed Destin and had a great trip. The floors of the condo needs to be mopped better. The outlets need covers on them and the beds need to be updated. The mattresses are horrible. But the view was beautiful and we still had a great time!

Location was great. Cleanliness was great. Great views of the gulf!! Master bed needs updating. A bed of that size and look should definitely be sturdy. It made us really nervous to sleep in it. When checking out I checked under the bed for items that may have been kicked under and noticed that the braces are nearly broken off. I’m glad it held until my party checked out. Other than that I would definitely stay again.
