Emerald Beach condo 1928 was exactly what we needed for a week away. The room itself was amazing, huge living area, the master bedroom was beautiful the bed felt more like 2 kings put together, it was huge. My girlfriend, her daughter and I love emerald beach so much. It was their first time staying there and she told me that she would definitely be back. If you haven’t ever stayed here, it has two pools, on across the street is better IMO. Sunsations, Starbucks are on site. It also walking distance to an Alvin’s island, sharky’s beachfront restaurant, and some local restaurants across the street.

Beautiful rental with amazing views. We were able to watch the dolphins swimming and playing in the gulf from our balcony. The beaches are beautiful with gorgeous sunsets and rises. Great location, Runaway Island restaurant is right next door with excellent food and drinks. Sharkys restaurant is with in walking distance as well and also has a very good menu.

We had a great time! We did struggle with the sliding door to the outside balcony a few times but overall the place was great!

Stayed here for the 4th of July. We didn’t get in until around midnight so we were a little confused by the elevator situation in the lobby and how to get to the correct ones. Once we found them, it was fine! The parking deck does fill up, although we were here probably the busiest weekend they have! Twice we had to park at the very top in the last few spots available. Check in was so easy, it was great being able to go right to the room. Very clean and had a beautiful view of the ocean. We loved the pool and that there was ice cream and a Starbucks on property. Stayed here with our children and felt very safe. Super walkable to everything. Hosts responded very quickly to the two messages I sent. Highly recommend!

What an incredible stay! This beautiful beachfront property was everything we hoped for and more. We had the best time with our kids — having the beach right there made it truly special. The place was well-stocked with everything we needed, spotlessly clean, and the host was incredibly responsive whenever we had a question. We had such a wonderful time that we honestly didn’t want to leave — we kept wishing we could stay longer! We will absolutely be back. Highly recommend to any family looking for the perfect beach getaway!

Hello Charles, thank you for the lovely review. I’m glad the property felt like home and that the kids loved the pool and being right on the beach. Great to hear you enjoyed the resort amenities — Starbucks, ice cream, gift shop, and evening entertainment — sounds like you had plenty to do. We’d love to host you again!
