Guests may experience construction noise and other minor inconveniences during these times. All amenities remain open except for the East hot tub closest to the East Tower, which is temporarily closed due to its proximity to the construction area.

The access code and additional restrictions will be sent before arrival. It is very important that we get a good email address from you after booking. Please note this is not an All Inclusive Resort.
STARTER KIT ⭐ Our property has a "Starter Kit" to get you through your first 24-48 hours.

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 offers Resort Wi-Fi, which is a open/public network. Wi-Fi details can be found in the property binder on the kitchen counter or in the digital guidebook. While we understand the importance of staying connected, we cannot guarantee internet speed or signal strength, especially during peak season when demand is high. For faster speeds, we recommend bringing a hotspot device. Please note: Streaming services are not available due to the Wi-Fi being an open network, but cable TV is provided on all TVs.
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.

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.

The room had a bad odor as soon as you entered. There was sand in the bunk bed. There were food particles on the living room furniture. I have emailed these same issues to two other sources who say it's not their area. Disappointed in the room.

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 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 .
