Emerald Dunes #404 in Destin brought to you by Beach Blue Properties.
Beach Service available for rent seasonally (March - October)

Exclusively located through a private gated entry in the Crystal Beach area of Destin, Emerald Dunes is a premier destination for vacationers seeking a relaxing, uncrowded beach experience.

Emerald Dunes 404 is centrally located right in the heart of this exclusive beachfront destination. This three bedroom residence has been professionally remodeled and offers dazzling views of the glistening gulf waters that extend as far as one can see. The furnishings are both elegant and stylish, which provides a decidedly upscale ambiance. The main living area has plenty of cushy seating for everyone, a flat panel HDTV, and sliding glass doors that graciously lead out onto the breezy beachfront balcony. The dining area offers a generously sized wood dining table, six chairs and additional bar seating.

Ours did not include this so we had to pay 55 per day which equaled an extra 330

Great place on the beach

This rental was great. It was much more spacious than we imagined. The owner suite was very separate from the other two rooms; the bunk bed room was pretty tiny but still very exciting for our youngest. The kitchen was stocked with everything we could need, including tupperware, only lacking a corkscrew. The bathrooms had sample size products and one towel per guest. There was a closet stocked with beach toys, beach chairs and even a stroller---if we would have known this before our travels we wouldn't have brought our stroller or beach items. The location could not have been better and the beach was amazing. We were thankful for the private beach seeing how busy the public beach areas got when the weather was nice. Other rentals in the same building included beach chair service---that would have been nice to have but we still had fun at the beach and spent a lot of time in the pool area. We met a lot of people that come back to Destin and this place each year---great rental overall!

Perfect Location!

This property was perfectly located in Destin. Very close to shops and activities. The beachfront property had a stunning view of the Gulf with pristine white beaches and its own private beach. The condo itself was beautifully decorated and clean. The only down fall was the lack of supplies. For the amount of money that this condo cost I felt the supplies should have been provided. There were only 8 towels for 5 adult people (3 of them woman) and no normal household supplies to get through the stay. If you are driving to this location it might not be such a big deal (you can bring extra from your home). But when you fly to Destin, you will have to spend quite a bit of extra money for things like trash bags, dish and hand soap, dishwasher detergent, etc... (for only a 7 day stay). Luckily, Publix and Wal-Mart are close by. Overall, I would recommend this property for a great Destin experience.

Great location

My husband and I stayed here with another couple and really loved the location! Having access to a private beach for our condo was a game changer…we could see that the nearby public beaches were very crowded in comparison. The beach was very clean and the view of the ocean was beautiful from our balcony. There was a closet full of beach accessories that were nice to have (sand castle supplies, shovels, beach chairs, floats, boogie boards). The condo was located in a convenient location and in close proximity to several restaurants, Publix, Fresh Market, and local seafood shops. There were a couple of cute local coffee & pastry shops within walking distance to the condo. Our only complaints were that the front bedroom mattress was very uncomfortable and needs to be replaced, there were several dirty dishes in the cabinets & drawers, and the sliding glass door was very difficult to open. Lastly, there were very few supplies included (paper towels, toilet paper, dishwashing pods, etc.), but that is mentioned in the fine print in documents shared through the VRBO app, and it was easy to purchase more with Publix being so close by. Other than that, we loved our time spent at this location and would stay again!

Just what we wanted

The condo was clean and the furnishings were comfortable - beds and chairs were above average in our experience. Furnished appliances in good working order. We dis not use beach equipment but there was a large quantity available. The property had more security than most and that was easy to use. My wife thought that the entry door latch could have been more substantial, but it was fine. I routinely Brian’s additional door security so no worries. Other occupants -some like us, some residents, were cordial when we encountered them.

Great location! Private Beach was a game changer for the 4th!

Really great location! Private beach was a game changer. Room was very clean. Overall really had a great time. Only a few issues. Our check in was delayed 45 minutes due to the cleaning crew not being on time. Remotes were not matched to the TV’s so we had to work through the process of setting them all up. Only some were labeled. Also, only had one roll of toilet paper per bathroom. Just not enough for a 4 day stay.

Nice unit in great location!

This unit is nicely decorated and well cared for! Everything worked as it should and was very clean! Plenty of seating for watching TV and eating! Super convenient beach access! Closet full of beach toys and umbrella (no beach chairs). Chair/umbrella rental during our time frame at end of May was $45 per day! Emerald Dunes is in a great location! Centrally located in Destin with easy access to everything! Beds were comfortable - soft, but not too soft. 2 box fans in the guest closet provide some white noise to drown out potential noise from floor above (sometimes noticeable in multi-floor buildings) or extra breeze while you sleep. Overall great stay and very pleased with ease of check-in/check-out experience!

Highly recommend

Property was clean and beds were comfy. They had fans for sleeping which was nice. There was plenty of space for our family of 7. Perfect view of the beach. Watched the sunrise and set daily from our balcony. Location was great. I cooked everyday in the kitchen and had everything I needed. Even a crockpot and tupperware for leftovers! I would suggest bringing an extra roll of paper towels, a couple rolls of toilet paper and a couple of cascade dishwasher pods if you’re staying longer than a few days. Bring your beach towels and beach chairs but they have a closet with sand toys and boogie boards. They also have a board game cabinet which was nice for the evenings! Thank you for having us! We enjoyed our stay very much.
