We had the best time visiting Destin with our little family! This PH had everything you need to get you started. Emerald Grand offers a free beach water taxi to a private beach, and there's shopping and dining all in walking distance. Park your vehicle and enjoy!

This was a great property and was within walking distance to the board walk. We loved the restaurant where we were staying. There was a lot of excursions within walking distance and a nice restaurant across the street called McGuire’s. We would definitely stay here again.

I highly recommend the condo we stayed in. It was wonderful... it was very spacious, clean, comfortable, and with one of the best views of the gulf we have ever had on any of our stays in the Destin area. I would recommend your VRBO to any of my friends.

The property was nice and as expected based on pictures. The amenities and location were very good. I would be hesitant to stay on the lower floors facing the pool due to noise. The unit we were in was on the top floor so it was not an issue.

This property was perfect for our group and my experience with the checkin/checkout and the information I received prior to our stay was extremely thorough. All expectations were met. The condo was very clean. The internet worked great, the views were amazing. The condo was very spacious. The elevators were very fast, so being on the top floor wasn't an issue at all as far as waiting forever on the elevator, etc. We will definitely be staying here again.

Just two negative comments. The mattresses are lumpy and the kitchen ware should be updated. I didn't even see a kitchen mit in the place which makes cooking undesirable. That said, everything else was up to our liking. especially the views. I would return to this condo.

Great views of the Harborwalk and pool. Great location if you want to spend a majority of your time on Harborwalk or restaurants. McGuire’s across the street was awesome and only walking distance. Parking is hectic, but once you get your spot you’re good. Little confusing, but easy once you figure your way around. Water pressure was off and on, sometimes we couldn’t finish brushing our teeth bc no water was coming out. Had to wait about a minute to finish. Overall great condo, but very pricey with fees and more fees on top of fees.

Wow… just WOW! I came down here with 4 of my girlfriends for a long weekend away and let me just say I am impressed. Not only is the location of the hotel a 15/10 the overall room was as well. Very clean and the beds were so comfortable. If I am ever back in Destin (which I plan to be since it was beautiful) I was absolutely be staying here again. A huge perk of the Emerald Grande besides the best location is they have private beach that a free shuttle takes you to! Great thing is the shuttle runs every 30 minutes so you can stay as long as you want and not have to worry about when you’d be getting picked up. Only gripe was I didn’t know the hotel had beach towels for you that you just had over a towel card for so I could have saved some room in my suitcase. If you are coming down here with a group I can most definitely recommend this place!!!!

The host was dishonest about the check-in process. They stated that Emerald Grande did not allow early check-in, which was not true. They simply had to email the front desk to allow us access. When I called the property management company to tell them; the kind lady agreed to email the hotel. About 15 minutes later I had to call them back because they did not send the email. Even though they already said they would, some greedy man said that now it would be an additional $75 to check in 3 hours early. I own a property, and I would be very upset if my guest were being treated like this! If you stay here, expect a great view but cheap toilet paper and warn out furniture and mattresses.
