Other Things to Note

This includes two kitchen trash can liners, two dishwashing packets, mini shampoo, conditioner, lotion, one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, and one roll of paper towels. We supply bath towels, washcloths, and hand towels. We do not provide beach towels, laundry detergent, seasonings/spices, zip locks, or liquid dishwashing detergent. You can pick up your favorite items at the nearby Walmart, Target, Publix, or Winn-Dixie.

Wi-Fi
⭐ Our property provides Resort Wi-Fi and is considered an "open/public network." The Wi-Fi info will be found in the property binder on the kitchen counter. While the resort strives to provide a reliable connection, please note that Wi-Fi signal strength may vary, especially during peak season due to high demand in the area. If you require high-speed internet, we recommend bringing a personal hotspot device. Please remember to bring your streaming service passwords and log out when you leave.

PARKING
⭐ 2 parking passes are provided with your stay! These will be on the kitchen counter for you. You will receive a temporary parking pass at the guard gate upon arrival but please, replace this pass with the parking pass in the unit once you get settled. All motorized vehicles (including golf carts and motorcycles) must display a valid Seascape vehicle pass. Passes must include the unit number, arrival/departure dates, and vehicle license plate number. Please make sure your pass is filled out in its entirety to avoid receiving a ticket. The resort is very strict on this policy. If you need additional parking passes for your stay, please contact our office at least 48 hours prior to your arrival. There is a $15 fee for additional parking passes.

BEACH GEAR
⭐ Typically, you can find beach chairs, toys, and umbrellas at our condo for your enjoyment. This is a leave-one, take-one set up so we can't guarantee what will be available upon arrival. Alternatively, feel free to bring your own beach gear to enjoy the stunning sugar sand beaches and emerald waters!

BEACH SERVICE
⭐ Complimentary Beach Service is not included, but rentals are available through La Dolce Vita. Their contact information will be provided in the Property Guidebook you'll receive after booking.

POOLS
⭐ Ariel Dunes I has 2 amazing pools! Pool bands and access cards will be left in the condo for you. The access card is used to gain entry to the fitness room. The property access cards and pool bands are not souvenirs so please make sure to leave them at check-out for the next guest. For everyones safety, please refrain from bringing alcohol or glass near the pool or hot tub, and avoid adding any items like bath salts or bath bombs to the pool. Be sure to review the Safety Precautions sign next to the amenity. Enjoy the pool at your own risk, and please refer to the additional rules for more details.

SECURITY
⭐ Our property currently does NOT have an entry camera, but the resort does have cameras. If you touch or tamper with the cameras, you will be asked to leave the property immediately without a refund and will be held responsible for any damages.

PETS
⭐ Absolutely NO PETS. Due to the health and severe allergies of the host we cannot accept animals of any kind in this unit. If you bring a pet of any kind, you will be charged an additional $500 per pet and be asked to leave.

SMOKING: The Rules and Regulations Document reads;
⭐ Except as otherwise permitted by applicable law, smoking or vaping of any kind, including without limitation via cigarette, cigar, pipe, vaping pen, or other smoking or vaping device, shall be prohibited on unit balconies and in the common elements (lobby, stairwells, elevators, floor hallways & pool decks) with the exception of areas of the common elements specifically designated by the Board of Directors. The prohibition in this section shall include the smoking or vaping of tobacco, marijuana, or any other substance. Smoking in common areas or on unit balconies will result in a fine of $100.00 per violation. Designated smoking areas are located on the ground floor by the concrete benches, as well as at the concrete table facing the parking lot.

BOOKING
⭐ You must be 25+ to book. The person booking and paying for the reservation must be a group member staying at the property. Read, review, and sign OUR rental agreement within 48 hours of booking and before check-in. No events or parties are allowed.

CHECK-IN/CHECK OUT
⭐ Check-in any time after 4 pm CST. Check-out is any time before 10 am CST.

EARLY ARRIVALS
⭐ We would love to accommodate early arrivals. However, it is nearly impossible during the busy season due to increased traffic delays and a limited workforce. Therefore, if you have an early flight, please plan to book an extra day so that you may check in before 4 pm. If that isn't an option, one of our favorite public beaches is Pompano Joe's in Miramar Beach. It offers large bathrooms, plenty of parking, and a beachside restaurant. Our PCB properties have many options for public beach access, but our favorite would be Public Beach Access 54-57, right in front of Pier Park! Since we are always on a tight schedule, we ask that all guests depart promptly at 10 am CST.

KITCHEN
⭐ Fully equipped kitchen with refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, cookware, bakeware, glasses, mugs, plates, flatware, cooking utensils, coffee maker, and fire extinguisher located under the sink.

REFUNDS
⭐ Absolutely NO refunds or discounts due to weather, natural disasters, or any other situations beyond our control.

Lastly, HAVE FUN at the beach, but please beware of rip currents, and understand the beach flags!

Lovely condo

The condo was clean and just perfect for our 2 small families. It had everything we needed: access to pool, close to the beach (wagon and toys for the beach were at the condo for our use). I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a beach getaway.

Awesome rental!

Our family (3 adults, 2 teens and a pre-teen) stayed at Emerald Eden for Spring Break and it was absolutely perfect. The condo was beautiful. It was clean, had fantastic views and was centrally located. The management company made check-in very easy. All passes were located in the condo when we arrived. The pools were awesome (it was a little chilly the first 2 days so the kids really enjoyed the heated pool), short walk to the beach, places to eat, and shop. This was our first time in Destin & it won't be our last. We will definitely rent this unit or another unit inside the Ariel Dunes complex again. Thanks for a great time!

Great views

Corner unit provided lots of windows for light and views. Sunsets were amazing. Beds were comfortable. There were Recommendations provided for restaurants which were nearby and all good. Just be prepared for wind around buildings. According to residents it’s always there due to the way buildings are situated.

Return to Destin

First time back to Destin in 6 years. The condo was very clean and neat. Plenty of room for the 4 of us. The owners were good to work with. They even had an Alexa for us to use. We also used it when it was time to check out. We loved staying at Ariel Dunes the last time we were here. We would definitely book again.

The View is the Best!

We loved our time in this condo! The property where it is located is simply beautiful. The proximity to the beach into the Gulf of Mexico is incredibly convenient for a wonderful vacation. The condo has pretty much everything that is needed for a family. However, be aware that there is no beach service included in the rental price. Some of the furnishings in the house are we getting to be a bit outdated, but for the most part, the condo is as advertised. We look forward to returning to Miramar Beach because it is truly a wonderful area in which to vacation. Close to everything you’ll need!

Excellent vacay!!

We will absolutely return to this condo. The bedrooms were great, the master was beautiful with a very large bath. We wish there was a pull out bed in the living room though. we did buy an air mattress for the living room that we were able to take home. The beaches were excellent, great location for what we wanted to do!! We walked to the beach several times each day as we were so close. Did nighttime walks as well! The kitchen was well stocked with appliances and dishes for cooking. Great storage for everyone. Cannot wait to return!!

Beautiful condo.

Forever Vacation Rentals
Shannon and I moved from St. Louis, MO to Destin, FL in the Summer of 2011. I have over 20 years in the Property Management field, including Vacation Rentals, Multi-Family, and Senior Living. I am also a Realtor with Worth Clark Realty. Shannon is our “go to guy” and always goes above and beyond. He handles the majority of operations, which includes Inspecting and Scheduling Turns, Owners Statements, Accounting, and helping to oversee our Housekeeping Department. You will find that we are passionate and very hands-on. Not only are we available to our Homeowner's at all times, we are also available to our guests.

God has blessed us with our two children, Riley and Jax. Our hearts and home are also filled with our fur babies! We look forward to our Friday night movies at home with our children, fishing (although we aren't any good at it – haha), church, and Sunday football. We are very family oriented and find that most homeowners become like family to us.

In the Spring of 2016, we expanded our business by hiring Debbie. She is my amazing mom! When it came time to hire someone, it only made sense to bring her on board! You honestly can't find a more caring, loyal, and trustworthy person! Debbie handles all of our reservations and during the summer months, she helps with our inspections. If you ever want to hear a friendly voice and be uplifted, call her!

We can't forget about the rest of our team! EVERY. SINGLE. PERSON. on our team is important to our success. Our goal is to hire folks with passion, enthusiasm, and motivation to win!

Small gestures go a long way in this business! We love to WOW!
