Emerald Isle 210

This place was nothing like it look in the pictures .
Showed curtains had mold and were so dirty, the toilets were dirty . The entire place look like it was not clean, the carpets are so filthy , they smell .
This place was not worth for the amount of money that I paid . I would not recommend this place . The worth place I had ever stayed in .

Check is was simple and we were late, arriving after midnight. I called ahead to let them know we would would be late. She advised me to call her if we needed anything or had any problems checking in no matter how late we were. We were checked on every day as well. The condo met all of our needs and we were very comfortable. The walk to the beach is literally across the parking lot and past the pool. Everything you need is available right there. The beach is very clean and well maintained. We will be returning in the summer and probably every year. Thank you for making our vacation comfortable and enjoyable!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Emerald Isle 210. The booking process, checking in and out were all simple. The condo was comfortable and had everything we needed. We cooked our breakfast every morning. We really loved the two king sized beds and two full bathrooms. The kitchen was small but served it’s purpose. This unit is on the beach side, which is very nice. No walking across streets. The pool was so relaxing. We love staying on Okaloosa island and will definitely stay here again. I recommend using RealJoy vacations to anyone. Thanks for a fun beach trip.

Great condo on a great beach and awesome area! So quite in the condo. My friend and I each had our own private space (bathroom & king bedroom). Yet large den and balcony gave us the together space we needed. If you come to the area, be sure to see a movie at the remodeled Suds and Cinema! Food & atmosphere were exceptional.

The description of the condo, placement in relativity to the beach, access to restaurants, shopping and overall help from staff was as described. A little different having a company to call instead of a front desk clerk was a little different, but we don't travel a lot. We wouldn't have noticed any difference anyway. Would recommend and look forward to next year's vacation in Fort Walton, FL. Maybe next year we can start looking for a place a little sooner and find even better options. Thank you RealJoy Vacations & VRBO, your company and staff was wonderful!

Read a lot of reviews before we went. Folks complained about weather and such that the owners cannot control. Condo was spacious and nice. Not the fanciest place we ever staid but very nice. Everything worked. Bathroom door had to be picked up to shut properly. King bedroom views the gulf. Bath is private to that room. Queen bed in other room with separate bath. 2 big couches for others. One is a sleeper sofa. They put out chairs and umbrellas on the beach for you. Even had 'boogie boards' in closet to use. Was maybe 100 yards to the beach. Great balcony to sit on. Of course, the smokers paid no attention to the 'no smoking' sign at the pool. Found a great church - Calvary Baptist in Ft. Walton Beach - to visit. Great location - about 5 mins to downtown Ft. Walton, maybe 10 to Destin depending on traffic. I'm not real fond of public beaches. We swam at night. I wanna go again!

I arrived and not only was the wifi password on the fridge, but there were white fluffy towels and fresh bedsheets by the pullout couch. The condo had tasteful decorations and plush carpet and couches. I had a variety of lamps to set the mood that I desired. The big screen had cable and there was a beautiful view from the balcony (which was soundproof!!). Though I didn't need to utilize the washer/dryer unit located in the laundry room halfway down the condo hallway, the sea breeze on the balcony worked nicely with the complementary drying rack to get the job done.The fridge was ice cold and I had an assortment of glassware to crisp my chicken nuggets in when I was hungry. A little renovation construction was going on in the complex at the time, but the workmen were friendly and gave the inside scoop on the fun beach locations and places to eat. 10/10 I recommend!
