Wonderful stay

We loved the view, the room, the food and close proximity to restaurants and shops!”

Great Christmas week

Had a great Christmas week at Emerald Grand. We stayed in a second floor southeast facing unit. The second floor is equivalent to about 4th or 5th floor on ocean side so views and people watching were excellent. The condo was spacious and comfortable and the wrap around balcony fantastic. We used the beach shuttle and had a great day at the beach even in December. Water is clear and beach is white sugar sand. There was even a kid swimming in the ocean without a wetsuit. We saw the magic show in the small theater on the property and it was great. The Boathouse restaurant at the east end of the Harborwalk has the best oysters and gumbo in town. Margaritaville across from the hotel was open Christmas afternoon. We used the outdoor heated pool and small hot tub. The property is similar to a Marriott timeshare. The bedding is comfortable and the kitchen very sparsely equipped with a dishwasher that doesn't really get the dishes clean. Our microwave turntable didn't rotate and I mentioned it to maintenance and they immediately came and replaced the built in microwave. Would love to come back in busy season and rent a pontoon boat to go to Crab Island which is a sandbar just on the other side of the causeway.”

Great location for bars and shops, not so much for the beach

This is a perfect location for bars and restaurants but not so much for direct beach access. They have a private beach but only accessible by shuttle with a small restroom on board. There is a $30 per day housekeeping charge for the week, regardless of how long you stay. Housekeeping quality was definitely not worth the daily fee. The pool and spa areas were very nice.”

A Gem in the Florida panhandle

We had a wonderful stay. Gulf view condo - heated pool - free parking Great for young families, activities galore! A good selection of nearby restaurants as well. Be sure to spend time on Crystal Beach near the Crab Trap restaurant 7 miles down the road. Amazing beach! Chair and Umbrella rentals available . ”

Condo Is Beautiful

Great location and property management is so helpful. Excellent location for enjoying the Destin area. ”

Emerald Grande and HarborWalk

Had a very enjoyable time taking in the sights and activities offered up at Emerald Grande. Good location allows you to park the car and utilize the many available services right at your door step. Beautiful vista's of the gulf water from this location, adequate amenities and a very heavily traveled location. Location is not on the beach but available by a short boat ride offered by the property. Overall a pleasant stay.”

Paradise for families!

My daughter and I just returned from an amazing visit at the Emerald Grande at HarborWalk Village. We were contacted prior to arrival and given several recommendations of fun things to do while we visited. The entry to the Emerald Grande is gorgeous and had been completely decorated for the holidays. Our 4 bedroom unit was immaculate and offered lots of privacy due to a great layout and one amazing view! We were contacted by the concierge who offered lots off additional guidance to maximize our stay. We loved the pool outdoor pool with the gradual entry, plentiful outdoor chairs, and easy access to the restaurant. The entire staff was welcoming, professional and positive. We visited the area while it is considered "off season" which was delightful! We never waited to be seated at a restaurant, we booked several boat experiences without delay and enjoyed the breathtaking beaches with a few other visitors in town for Thanksgiving. The temperatures were cooler, but we will take long sleeve shirts over crowded tourist areas any day! We can't thank the staff of the Emerald Grande enough for making our visit one to remember. Destin and the surrounding areas are gorgeous to explore and perfect for a family visit! ”
