Excellent location and beautiful house

This house was amazing! It had everything we needed. It was very clean and nicely furnished and decorated. We had a group of 15 and there was plenty of room for everyone and then some. The walk to the beach was only a minute or 2. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Beach Vacation

Karen's house was the perfect spot for our family's vacation in Florida. We needed a large house with plenty of beds for the 15 of us (4 families) and the layout of the bedrooms (and with each having it's own bathroom) was exactly what we needed. The house itself is very nice and the fact that you can be on the beach in less than 2 minutes was fantastic! Karen was very responsive and would even check in periodically to make sure all was good. Couldn't have asked for anything more. Everyone agreed that we found the best house in Destin. Thanks again for everything!

Awesome

Villa Emeraude was a fantastic vacation rental! The house was absolutely beautiful, with tasteful decor and all the comforts we needed. The location couldn’t have been better, just a short walk to the beach, which made it easy to enjoy the ocean daily. The private pool was a highlight—it was clean, well-maintained, and a perfect place to relax. We had an amazing stay and would highly recommend Villa Emeraude to anyone looking for a beach getaway!

Perfect Stay!

After looking for a beach house for days on vrbo, I finally came across Emeraude Dunes of Destin. It is everything it says it is. Great communication with property manager. Very spacious and accommodated all of our needs for a family trip. We even had a full rainy day and the kids were happy playing inside with all the game options, and pool, also enough TVs for everyone to enjoy their own shows. We will definitely book again.

Wonderful House - great for all ages

We loved this house. It was nice that the main floor was different than the pool - it allowed for separation of the fun. The kitchen was wonderful - nice and big. Used both tables for eating. Bedrooms were great. Beach was very private and quiet. Enjoyed this vacation very much.

Great House in a Great Location

This is a great house in a quiet location right in the action. 2 min walk through the development to private gorgeous beach. House is very large and has everything you need included. Communication with Karen the owner was great. Nice benefit is the fenced in backyard with pool. More privacy than some other homes in development although they are all lovely.

Clean, spacious house close to the beach

The layout of this house is absolutely perfect for a big group. Big open living area to hang out but everyone also has their own decent size bedroom and attached bath when they need their privacy. You also have no worries because the communication with the owner is great before and during the stay. We didn’t have any issues at all, but it put me at ease knowing I could get a hold of her if I needed to.
