About this apartment rental

Emerald Dunes 205 -

Aptly named for the emerald waters and crystalline sand dunes located at its doorstep, Emerald Dunes 205 is a beachy vacation condo in Destin’s Crystal Beach. With Gulf-front windows that offer picturesque views of the coast, it’s the perfect place for a paradise getaway. The condo has two bedrooms, two baths and can accommodate up to eight beachgoers.

The main area is open and bright, featuring sunny windows that overlook the beach. Sliding glass doors filter in more sunlight and open out onto a waterfront balcony furnished with lounge seating. The living room includes a light blue queen-size sleeper sofa, matching loveseat, and white accent armchair. The cozy seating ensemble is centered around a black-and-white patterned rug and custom-made hardwood drink table. The setup faces a wall-mounted TV. The dining area sits adjacent to the living room, and it boasts a rustic country-style table and six chairs. With two walls of glass doors and windows encasing the dining room, guests can enjoy delicious homecooked meals and refreshing mixed drinks while watching the waves greet the shore. The modern kitchen overlooks the dining area. It has gleaming white countertops, a hexagon-tiled backsplash, custom white cabinetry, two contemporary-styled gold light fixtures, and a breakfast bar with saddle stool seating.

The master suite is comfortably styled with a king-size bed, wood armoire, winged armchair, and a flatscreen TV. Its private, en-suite bath features dual vanities and a tub/shower combo. The guest bedroom combines a nautical and beach chic feel, with a blue accent wall and surf décor. This room also has a king-size bed, unique wood headboard, sunny window, and a wall-mounted TV. A hallway bunk nook with a twin bunk provides additional sleeping accommodations.

A stay at the Emerald Dunes complex ensures guests have access to all the best vacation amenities. These include a swimming pool and hot tub surrounded by a sun patio and lounge chairs, a community BBQ area, and convenient beach access. Nearby, you’ll find restaurants, shops, and coastal entertainment. Across the street, Camille’s at Crystal Beach serves locally sourced seafood and sushi. Down the road, you can check out 790 on the Gulf, which also offers tasty seafood options. Other fun and convenient venues to visit include the Destin Commons and Silver Sands Premium Outlets.

You can’t beat the location for this condo. It was steps to the beach and close to attractions and shopping. Our family felt right at home. It was very clean and well decorated but I do agree with some of the other reviews that mention the rugs need to be replaced. The view from the patio is stunning we were able to enjoy watching the waves and even saw some dolphins. We had a little hiccup where the room had not been cleaned yet on arrival but the owner was very responsive and it was fixed immediately. You will need to bring your own beach towels and supplies as nothing for the beach is stocked there. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great beach location.

On the 2nd floor- easy access in this smaller condo complex. 1 minute easy elevator ride and walk from condo to the sand. Well decorated, clean towels and bedding. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped and does have a regular coffee pot and a Keurig. No Tupperware- so bring ziplock bags or your own containers for leftovers. Microwave and stove are a bit older with wear and tear but worked fine. Rug in living room needs replaced. Huge TVs and ceiling fans were great. The best part is truly the corner view of this unit. Balcony is small but the sound of the water is great! This unit does not come with beach chair service and there are no chairs in the unit so bring your own if you don’t want to pay for the beach chair and umbrella service separately at around 55/day. Would stay again!
