Other things to note

STARTER KIT
⭐ Our property has a "Starter Kit" to get you through your first 24-48 hours. 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. We know WI-FI is essential to everyone. However, we cannot guarantee the internet speed or signal strength. We have found that our Wi-Fi signals are not optimal during peak season due to the number of people visiting our area. We suggest you bring your hotspot device if you need high-speed internet during your stay. **Bring your passwords for streaming services.** Don't forget to log out when you leave.

PARKING
⭐ Parking is available in the Parking Garage as well as the surrounding parking lots. Before checking in, we will register you in the Emerald Grande portal. Once you enter the complex, you will pick up your key card and parking passes from the Front Desk. It is a super easy process. :) Please note that the HOA does not allow golf carts or scooters. There is a height limit since you will be parking in a parking garage. Please reach out if you need to know specifics.

BEACH ACCESS / WATER TAXI BEACH SERVICE
⭐ Emerald Grande offers their own Beach Water Taxi Shuttle Service. Please call our office for their contact info as well as additional information.
To head to the Beach, you will need to take the Emerald Grande Water Taxi Shuttle located at boat slip #17 on the Harbor Walk next to the lighthouse. You will be asked to show your room key card.

POOLS / HOT TUB
⭐ There are two pools and two hot tubs at Emerald Grande. No alcohol or glass is allowed near the pool/hot tub. You are not to use this amenity if you have consumed alcohol or are pregnant. You are not permitted to add anything to the pool/hot tub, including bath salts, bath bombs, etc. Please review and adhere to the Safety Precautions sign next to the amenity.

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. As well, the resort has security personnel who monitor the resort along with its amenities. If you cause any disturbances during your stay you will be asked to leave.

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.

SMOKING
⭐ NO SMOKING on the premises. You will be charged a minimum of $1000 fee for smoking inside the property.

Harbor Walk

Great place to stay. Loved everything about the Harbor walk. Water taxi to beach was cool, saw dolphins. A short drive back over the bridge was a big beautiful white beach with restaurants and a long pier. Would love to go back in the spring.

Great with a few issues

Check in was easy the property was beautiful. If you are a family who enjoys cooking you will have to take or purchase items the kitchen was the least stocked I’ve ever stayed at. Only one dish to bake in, no pizza cutter, nothing with lids for left overs, no cookie sheet. Also take towels! I had to do more laundry then ever wanted on vacation because you get 1 towel per guest, definitely inconvenient. Make sure to take no more then a 10 minute shower in guest bathroom or it will flood and maintenance is less then helpful! Otherwise we loved the condo, the view everything was great and clean.

Great property - just as described

The condo is beautiful . So Comfortable and equipped for what is needed for a great vacation week . The rental company is very transparent about what is provided and check in / check out times . Believe them when they don’t budge on relaxed check in/out times and starter supplies . They are also attentive and reached out to us numerous times during the week to make sure that all was going well . We had an issue with the ice maker . Everyone who i spoke to was very kind and helpful . Notes: Make things easy on yourself and bring your own beach towels . The condo doesn’t supply them but the front desk will give you cards to trade in for beach towels . If you don’t return the cards or towels at the end of your stay , you are charged 25.00 per missing card. Just bring your own . Pool- beautiful!! Work out room - very nice !! Hot tubs yasssss!! Lots to do on the Boardwalk . Harry T’s great food Brews and Bignets - get those little donuts . It’s vacation !! Boathouse - get the oysters -huge!! FatBoys for lunch - Sextons seafood market . Have an in-house seafood nite prepared in the condo . Fresh seafood . Reasonably priced . The condo complex is huge - the elevators take some getting used to . No issues just it can be confusing as to where things are . The location is perfect as there is a lot to do and see . We had a great time in Destin . A fun filled family vacation for kids and adults . I would stay again .

Stingy and smelly

Love the location of the hotel and the overall property but this particular unit is not the best. First off, before we get there they told us that there was a water leak in one of the bathrooms and that the carpet was a little damp. No big deal, but when we walked into this place, the smell was horrendous. I instantly e-mailed them about the smell. No response until the day we checked out. We were so disgusted the entire time. You seriously wanted to vomit every time you walked in the place. All the dishes in the cupboard were filthy dirty. No big deal either if only I had some dishwashing soap to handwash them. Oh, sorry, they don't provide dishwashing soap. I could run a load in the dishwasher but who wants to do that when I just want to wash a cup. You also only get one roll of toilet paper per bathroom the entire stay. We were supposed to have six people staying here but actually only had three. We would have run out of toilet paper for sure. I went to use the Keurig, it was broken. They did have an extra coffee pot but don't provide any filters. Not helpful so here I am on vacation going to the grocery store to buy filters. This place is so expensive, I think you can provide some coffee filters and dish soap and some more toilet paper. Never been in a place like this before. If you're running a business where people are staying over the weekend, you need to check your e-mails. I will never stay here again. I will stay in the hotel but not this unit.

We were able to utilize the property until check in. The property was amazing and beautiful. So much for all of us to do fro our 2 year old to the teens to us adults. The boardwalk was great for all of us. Everything g was right at our fingertips. The boat ride to the beach was exciting for the kids and the beach was absolutely beautiful.

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 helps to oversee our Housekeeping Department. You will find that we are passionate and very hands-on. Not only are we available to our Homeowners at all times, but we are also available to our guests.

God has blessed us with our two children, Riley (18 y/o) and Jax (8 y/o). Our hearts and home are also filled with our fur babies! We support our local animal shelters and rescues. We are thankful for our cat and our dogs (Rocky and Jubilee).

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! We want them to know that no detail is too small, and a happy guest is a repeat guest! There is nothing more rewarding than to receive a compliment about how genuine and hard-working we are! Small gestures go a long way in this business! We love to WOW!
