Villa Emeraude was a fantastic vacation rental! The house was absolutely beautiful, with tasteful decor and all the comforts we needed. The location couldn’t have been better, just a short walk to the beach, which made it easy to enjoy the ocean daily. The private pool was a highlight—it was clean, well-maintained, and a perfect place to relax. We had an amazing stay and would highly recommend Villa Emeraude to anyone looking for a beach getaway!

Perfect Stay!
After looking for a beach house for days on vrbo, I finally came across Emeraude Dunes of Destin. It is everything it says it is. Great communication with property manager. Very spacious and accommodated all of our needs for a family trip. We even had a full rainy day and the kids were happy playing inside with all the game options, and pool, also enough TVs for everyone to enjoy their own shows. We will definitely book again.

Amazing!
Everything about this stay has been nothing short of AMAZING! The homeowner has gone above and beyond to make her home teen, kid, toddler, infant, and adult friendly. We needed nothing for our stay. We came with our 2 daugters, their husbands and 6 children, ages 6 months to 15 and no one was bored! We also traveled with my son in laws father. We both own restuarantsand are chefs in Iowa and this kitchen was nothing short of perfect. We created so many memories this week! The bedrooms are perfectly located with each family having their own bathroom and private balcony! The views were beautiful. The pool was fantastic and perfectly heated for our littles! The beach was a short walk crossing no streets. Karen provides 4 beach chairs and 2 umbrellas for our daily trips to the beach! The boardwalk was was a 2 mile drive with lots to do! So many great restaurants near by as well. This trip was nothing short of PERFECT and Karens home made it even better! If traveling to Destin with your family I would definitely choose Villia Emeraude every time! It's perfect in every way! We are already looking at possibilities for next year! Thank you Karen, Amy

We stayed with 8 other family members and two grandchildren. What an incredible home Karen and Ron shared with us! Everything was so well maintained and clean; even the huge gas grill was clean and new. The kitchen, the furniture, the beds and linens, the bathrooms, and the backyard pool, we’re all so clean and in excellent condition. The televisions with easy program access, the ice maker that never ran out of ice, the large kitchen with all the appliances and two large tables, the pack and play baby bed, the baby safety gates for the stairways, the small children’s beds, the children’s game room, and the beach access with four chairs and two umbrellas, all made for a perfect, incredible vacation. Absolutely awesome home and wonderful, accessible hosts! We’ll be back again next year!

Our family of 17 (8 adults and 9 children) had plenty of room in this beautiful house. It is well-equipped and Karen (the owner) has thought of just about everything. The beach was a short walk away (chairs and umbrellas were ready for us). It was perfect for us. Karen is very personable and accommodating. She responds to any questions immediately, usually within minutes. We really can’t rate her high enough.

This house is amazing!! The location to the beach is GREAT! You have your own section of the beach with 2 umbrellas and four chairs included! The kitchen has everything you need. LOTS of room to hang out on the main floor and upstairs. Balconies off of every room. The pool is perfect! Karen the owner is a pleasure to work with! The boys loved the game room. The adults loved cooking in the huge kitchen and enjoyed the mini bar area! We went out to dinner twice but stayed and enjoyed the beach/pool/house most of the vacation!

Great House in a Great Location
This is a great house in a quiet location right in the action. 2 min walk through the development to private gorgeous beach. House is very large and has everything you need included. Communication with Karen the owner was great. Nice benefit is the fenced in backyard with pool. More privacy than some other homes in development although they are all lovely.

Picture-Perfect Home
This pictures for this home are spot on. The home is in a great location, as it is just a short walk to a gorgeous beach. Our family rents a lot of properties, and I can honestly say, hands down Karen was the best host. Our family had the pleasure of staying at Karen's home during Christmas. Due to the cold weather, we spent a lot of time in the house. There were numerous things to rave about, but I would be remised if I did not point out that the beds were extremely comfortable. There was plenty of space to hang with the family or read a book in the upstairs loft. If I could definitely give more stars. This picture-perfect home is a must see.

Thanksgiving Get Away
We rented Villa Emeraude for an extended family Thanksgiving week. We were impressed by the online listing and were so pleased to see that everything was EXACTLY (if not better) as it appeared in the listing. The home was clean (we had a 10 month old crawling around and we never worried once), well stocked with EVERY convenience for relaxing and cooking a large meal for 12 and everything was in working order. Karen was a pleasure to work with - she was more than accommodating to some of our challenges with a large group arriving from 4 locations at different times. Her communications up to and during our stay were the best - I couldn't have asked for more. It's clear she takes pride in maintaining the home and ensuring her guests get exactly what they are trying to get out of their vacation. I would give this more than 5 stars if I could.

The house was just what we needed and the listing was very accurate.
If you have a large group for an even in Destin and want everyone to be able to stay under the same roof this place will work for you. Once we arrived at the property and settled in we had some concerns. I was able to contact the owner and she responded very quickly and timely. All was resolved very easily. Getting to and from the beach access was simple and convenient. One thing I would recommend is that once you go to the beach make sure that you meet the person that sets up the chairs and umbrellas and make sure they know your schedule when you’ll be at the beach on what days. This will help ensure you place is set and ready when you arrive.
