About this property

Renovated Family Corner Condo on Beachfront - Heart of Destin!

Welcome to Emerald Towers, our cherished family getaway for over 25 years. With 1800 square feet of newly renovated comfort, this corner unit on the 7th floor offers one of the best sunset views of the Emerald Coast. Experience two walls of wrap-around windows, giving a panoramic beach view from the living room, dining room, master bedroom, and private sliding glass door balcony.

With the beach in your backyard, getting to the water has never been easier. Your access to Emerald Tower’s private beach includes the complimentary seasonal setup of two chairs and one umbrella. And when you’re not lounging in the sun, enjoy the city! Located in the heart of Destin, you’ll be within walking distance of restaurants, shopping, amusement parks, golfing, resorts, groceries, bars, and more. Whether you’re looking for a family vacation or a getaway with the girls, it’s all right here.

Recently remodeled, we’ve modernized our condo to feel light and spacious, giving you room to relax and unwind. Featuring a new open floor plan, crisp cabinets and counters, updated kitchen appliances, fresh paint and colors, luxurious up-to-date tiling, and new furniture throughout the entire space. We know how comfortable these changes have made our family and are excited to share them with you.

A beloved family getaway, we’ve fully stocked the condo to be comfortable and truly have you feeling “at home”. The kitchen is conveniently equipped with cookware, pans, bowls, and utensils, all the essentials you need for easy meals in. Enjoy our new stainless steel kitchen appliances including a nearly silent dishwasher. A separate ice-maker provides never-ending ice for your beach cooler, keeping your drinks cold all day long. In the living room, we’ve created a high-quality media center with a 46” LCD TV, surround sound speakers, and Blu-ray player. The master bedroom also has a new LCD TV.

Emerald Towers Resort is a low-density high-rise condominium complex with just 84 units to share all the amenities. Two full-service elevators make it easy to jump back and forth between the condo and the beach. The swimming pool’s deck area offers lounge chairs, tables, and umbrellas to enjoy while you take a dip or cook out on the newly installed grills. The exercise room, which overlooks the pool and the beach, is equipped with treadmills, stationary bikes, elliptical machine, and weights. There are also two lighted tennis courts on the property for your use.

Emerald Towers prides itself on being a family friendly environment. You can feel safe in this gated community with an onsite security guard. It’s Emerald Towers policy not to rent to anyone under the age of 25. For your convenience, your keys will be waiting at the front desk when you arrive for a seamless check-in. We are certain that you will enjoy a relaxing vacation if you choose to visit. You’ll want to return year after year, just like we have.

Wonderful place

Communication before and after stay was wonderful. Condo was clean and tidy upon arrival. Had all the things needed for a family beach vacation. Only down falls we found were drapery and rug were dated, and every time we went out on the balcony(regardless of time) there was somebody smoking that made desire to spend time there not at all desirable.

A wonderful stay in Destin

This condo is a gem. The corner unit offered stunning water views and was perfect for 6 of us. Having umbrella and chair rentals right at the property made things easy. The tennis courts also accommodated pickle ball which was fun. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back.

Amazing view from the balcony.

We enjoyed our stay. The beach chair/umbrella set up/service was very nice. The binder with information about the area was helpful. Bathrooms were a nice size. Beds were pretty comfortable. There were a few things that we were disappointed about: Towels weren't very clean; there was a lot of noise above us late at night and early in the morning. Sounded like furniture being slid across the floor. Had trouble operating televisions in the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms, some instruction would be helpful (like what is provided for main TV).

Great location and Emerald Towers is very friendly family oriented.

Lovely spacious condo. Excellent place to stay. Nice short walk to the beach and condo amenities were plentiful. Had everything you needed. Beautiful views of beach and ocean. Only negatives were the TV remote controls (one taped closed so batteries wouldn't fall out), and sliding glass doors were extremely heavy to open and close.

About the host

Hosted by Robert

Host profile image
For over 25 years our family has been going to Emerald Towers for our summer vacations. We have always rented and dealt with the uncertainties of different condos. So when we had an opportunity to purchase Unit 701, we were thrilled. We could make it just the way we wanted it for ourselves and our guests.

Why they chose this property

Emerald towers is a one building, 84 unit complex that prides itself on being family centered. We love the staff there. Ann, Alice, and Deborah at the front desk and Larry and all the maintenance crew work very hard to take excellent care of Emerald Towers and everyone who is visiting there. The pool, the walkways, and the grounds are always very neat and clean and held to the highest standard.

What makes this property unique

Having the pool right outside the back door of the building and the beach less than 30 yards from there makes going to and from the beach extremely convenient. We feel very safe for our entire family, even our children when they were children. There is a security gate to get to the property from the street and a security gate to get from the beach to the pool area. Also there is an onsite security guard during the evening hours. Good for peace of mind.
