About this property

Emerald Dunes 205 - Gulf Front, Corner Unit, Heated Community Pool, Hot Tub!

Emerald Dunes 205 -

Aptly named for the emerald waters and crystalline sand dunes located at its doorstep, Emerald Dunes 205 is a beachy vacation condo in Destin’s Crystal Beach. With Gulf-front windows that offer picturesque views of the coast, it’s the perfect place for a paradise getaway. The condo has two bedrooms, two baths and can accommodate up to eight beachgoers.

The main area is open and bright, featuring sunny windows that overlook the beach. Sliding glass doors filter in more sunlight and open out onto a waterfront balcony furnished with lounge seating. The living room includes a light blue queen-size sleeper sofa, matching loveseat, and white accent armchair. The cozy seating ensemble is centered around a black-and-white patterned rug and custom-made hardwood drink table. The setup faces a wall-mounted TV. The dining area sits adjacent to the living room, and it boasts a rustic country-style table and six chairs. With two walls of glass doors and windows encasing the dining room, guests can enjoy delicious homecooked meals and refreshing mixed drinks while watching the waves greet the shore. The modern kitchen overlooks the dining area. It has gleaming white countertops, a hexagon-tiled backsplash, custom white cabinetry, two contemporary-styled gold light fixtures, and a breakfast bar with saddle stool seating.

The master suite is comfortably styled with a king-size bed, wood armoire, winged armchair, and a flatscreen TV. Its private, en-suite bath features dual vanities and a tub/shower combo. The guest bedroom combines a nautical and beach chic feel, with a blue accent wall and surf décor. This room also has a king-size bed, unique wood headboard, sunny window, and a wall-mounted TV. A hallway bunk nook with a twin bunk provides additional sleeping accommodations.

A stay at the Emerald Dunes complex ensures guests have access to all the best vacation amenities. These include a swimming pool and hot tub surrounded by a sun patio and lounge chairs, a community BBQ area, and convenient beach access. Nearby, you’ll find restaurants, shops, and coastal entertainment. Across the street, Camille’s at Crystal Beach serves locally sourced seafood and sushi. Down the road, you can check out 790 on the Gulf, which also offers tasty seafood options. Other fun and convenient venues to visit include the Destin Commons and Silver Sands Premium Outlets.

Awesome time and place!

Our stay was great! Excellent communication from booking several months out all the way through the vacation. Condo is in my opinion the best spot, beach front side of building near beach access and quiet. We are getting close to booking next years trip and looking to stay here again!

Celebrated our friends retirement!

The property was a beautiful place to stay a few minor adjustments. The television in the living room is a bit of a nightmare, The floor in the small bathroom flooded but maintenance did get it fixed. We did enjoy our stay! Most beautiful view!

Loved this spot. It was our first time at Emerald Dunes and the property management company was very responsive when we had a couple issues pop up. The unit was nice and clean and the kitchen was perfect for cooking and looking out at the ocean.

Comfortable condo

The condo itself was nice. The problem was a water leak in the ceiling that they couldn’t fix although they came out 4 times we were there 2 weeks without getting results which was quite annoying.

Incredible view and great location

We have been to Destin MULTIPLE times and this was our first time staying eighth on the beach. The views, tranquility, location to grocery was perfect. We had other family staying at a home two blocks away and had a great pool and backyard. It was nice to have that option and was great when we were on the beach that they could run up and use the restroom or get food in this beautiful condo!! You won’t be disappointed!!

Exactly what we were looking for

This condo was great. Property is well maintained and was very quiet. Location was convenient to everything. Beach was ideal and Rico does a great job with chair setup and rentals. Condo was clean and decor was beautiful. Balcony furniture was extremely comfortable. We’ve stayed in condos before where the furniture on the balcony was bare minimum and not very conducive to sitting for long periods of time. Will definitely stay there again. Wish there was a discount for multiple week or monthly rental during the off season. Thanks for making our two week stay a great relaxing time.

Nice property

Overall, the stay was great. I wish they were a bit more flexible with check in and check out. We were only asking for one hour. Most check out times are 11am and that would've been ideal. Their check out time is 10am and they will not budge. For check in, we saw the cleaners leave around 2:30pm so we ask could we check in early annd that was a no too. Regardless, we would stay here again.

Spectacular vacation!

We've been coming to the Crystal Beach area of Destin for more than a decade and have stayed in several different rentals up and down the beach. This unit is our new favorite! Wonderfully decorated, super comfy and great views of the beach (it's a corner unit). And the way Ocean Reef handles rental and check in/check out should be the standard for all other rental companies. Emails and texts were minimal and efficient and gave us all the info we needed. We even had to make a maintenance request (we had inadvertently turned off the refrigerator.) Their team was responsive after hours, got us a loaner fridge until maintenance could come the next day, and then "fixed" our problem in the morning. Five stars for everything!
