Beachfront~2 King Suites~Sunset Balcony~Family Resort w/Pool
🌅 Wake up to dolphins, sunsets, and sparkling Gulf waters at Emerald Dunes 402. We've just completed a total renovation on this beautiful beachfront condo including a BRAND-NEW KITCHEN and REMODELED BATHROOMS! Comfortable new furniture and decor welcome you to settle in and relax. You'll appreciate the new soft white paint and gorgeous tile floors throughout this beautiful space! NO CROWDS! There are only 27 condos in the building that share the LARGE PRIVATE BEACH. An ideal condo for 2-3 families with children - we sleep up to 9 people (7 in beds and 2 on the sofa sleeper). Emerald Dunes is one of the best SMALL complexes in Destin's Crystal Beach area! Located right across from Camille's restaurant. Added bonus: this ENTIRE RESORT is NON-SMOKING. That means you can sit by the pool, on the beach and on your balcony and not have to smell anyone smoking! This condo is our second home, and we invite you to use it as your own. Our 3-bedroom condo on the 4th floor is open and airy with beautiful furniture and decor. It has a nice open kitchen with granite countertops, front-loader washer/dryer, and BEACHFRONT KING BEDROOM SUITE. It has a balcony off the living room where you can sit and enjoy your morning coffee while watching the dolphins frolicking or have an evening cocktail watching the sunset. Our condo is the perfect place for your family to use alone or to share with friends. Because we have 2 KING suites, both with King-size beds, attached baths and Smart TVs, neither couple will have to sacrifice the “bigger bed.” The third bedroom is perfect for another couple or children with a Queen bed and a single upper bunk. You will be pleasantly surprised by all the 'extras' in our home that you would not normally find in a rental unit. No need to pack up your porta-crib, highchair, or sand toys, we have them all! And of course, you will love the white sand Destin beach that is just footsteps away.
KING BEDROOM #1 and Attached Private Bathroom The Master suite has a King size bed with AMAZING views of the water from the bed. The beds are made with comfortable Egyptian cotton sheets. You'll also appreciate 2 nightstands, reading lamps, a dresser and Smart TV. The attached dressing area features a large, walk-in closet and a large vanity, mirror & sink, which nicely optimizes bathroom time since one can be showering and the other can be getting ready—which leaves you with more time to spend on the beach! The private ensuite bathroom has just been updated with a large step-in shower and a private commode room. There's another new vanity and sink in here, so it's a comfortable space to share.
KING BEDROOM #2 and Attached Bathroom The KING Bedroom 2 has a King size bed with Egyptian cotton sheets, 2 nightstands, reading lamps, and a Smart TV. There is a large dresser and closet here too - so unpack and make yourself at home. The attached full bathroom has a tub/shower combination, hair dryer and large fluffy bath towels. This bathroom has a second door to the hallway and is shared with Bedroom #3 guests.
BEDROOM # 3 Our third bedroom is a unique layout that can accommodate another couple in a Queen bed, or it would be a great spot for up to 3 children. It features a regular queen bed on the bottom and a twin-size upper bunk (with a regular twin mattress). There's also a closet, a nightstand and a Smart TV. This bedroom shares the full bathroom with the 2nd master.
LIVING ROOM In our main living area, we have a brand-new queen-size sofa sleeper with reading lamps nearby, we also have additional comfortable seating, making this a great space to gather and enjoy beachfront living. We also have a Smart TV, a DVD player and a Bluetooth docking station so you can listen to your favorite tunes on your phone. The living room opens up to our balcony via sliding glass doors.
BALCONY Our balcony features 4 chairs and two low tables, so you can sit and enjoy your morning coffee or evening beverages and take in the beach views. The balcony faces directly south so you can enjoy the morning sunrise and the evening sunset right from the balcony!
FULLY RENOVATED KITCHEN January 2024 -Our kitchen renovation is complete with all NEW cabinets offering plenty of storage, granite counters, and a new island facing the ocean views! It's also one of the best equipped you'll ever find in a rental! Start your day off right with a cup of coffee on your private balcony. We have a Keurig & regular drip coffee maker. We also have a blender that will grind all of your ice for frozen drinks, toaster, hand mixer, and the other usual appliances, including a stainless-steel refrigerator that's conveniently located near the island and easy to access from the dining table. You'll appreciate having ample Bone China, glasses, forks, etc. so you don't have to wash your breakfast dishes before you eat lunch. We have Viking professional pots and pans and assorted baking pans. We also supply many “extras” such as cleaning products, trash bags, aluminum foil, and plastic wrap. The Dining area features a table and 6 chairs and 3 bar stools.
EXTRAS in our CONDO For your convenience, we also have a washer and dryer, and iron and ironing board. A starter pack with one roll of paper towels, and one roll of toilet paper for each bathroom is provided, as well as basic cleaning supplies. And if you would like to keep up with friends, family or work while you are away, we provide free high-speed internet and WIFI.

Exceeded Expectations
I want to begin by saying this condo was immaculately clean and the maintenance was on point. Everything works and is where it should be. The ocean view was perfect from the 4th floor. We had an amazing trip visiting with our family. One of my favorite parts about the condo was waking up to a view of the ocean from the master bedroom. The master bathroom is spacious and very nice!
One thing that really struck me is the condo had everything we needed. We cooked and grilled a few meals and the kitchen was well equipped.
The pool is very clean and nicer than it looks in the pictures. The beach in front of the condo is actually private although and wasn’t crowded while we were there and absolutely gorgeous as usual.
The elevator is a little slow, but it worked well. The only thing I would ask for in the future is few more bath towels per person. We only had 6 for six for six people so lots of washing, but the washer and dryer and all the appliances are new and all work well!. I would rent this same condo again!! Thank you!

Nice condo for family
The condo was very clean and supplied with everything we needed. I didn’t care for the small pool being in the front parking lot, but the protected dunes in the back of the condo building prevent it being behind the building. The pool was clean. Beach wasn’t overly crowded since the building is smaller. Interaction with property manager was great. I’d stay here again.

Great stay
The location of this condo is amazing, it's right at the beach. The beach is a private beach from 9-5 every day which makes it much less crowded. The condo itself was clean upon check in and the check in/out process was simple and fast. Overall our stay was good and dealing with the Sugar Palm rentals team was pleasant and efficient.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This property checked all the boxes for our family vacation. Three comfy bedrooms…two spacious bathrooms (the primary bath remodel is GORGEOUS!)…balcony that comfortably fit all four of us watching the dolphins (and yes…it’s true…they are SO close!)…a well equipped kitchen to make breakfast and coffee before heading out on our adventures (bring your own filters tho). The management staff was very responsive…the ice maker wasn’t working during our stay so they dropped off a bag of ice each day which was awesome. The property is so close to restaurants and cafes we rarely went more than a mile for dinner each night. My family is already telling me they want to go back to Destin (it was COLD and not a beach week) and don’t want to stay anywhere else.

Hosts we’re incredible communicative from start to finish. Checking on me to ensure there weren’t any issues. The unit was incredible clean and had everything I needed while I was there.
Location is near a lot of restaurants and the private beach with white sand can’t be beat.
I watched the sunrise and set every day.

Not as nice as pictures depict
The location of this condo is perfect but that's where the positive review ends. It is very worn and pictures do not accurately depict the condition. The walls were stained, there was mold mildew all over the shower, and furniture is worn. There was sand all over the floor when we arrived so I needed to vacuum upon arrival. This was our first negative VRBO experience after many stays.. We would not stay at this location again. There are many nicer places to stay in Destin.

The Condo was perfect for our stay. 4th balcony allowed great view of the beach and gulf. It was great sitting on the balcony in the morning and evening listening to the waves. A tropical storm went up the coast of Fl and we could watch the effects from the balcony. Luckily, Destin did not receive much rain or wind.
The condo had everything we needed including a washer and dryer. The condo was very clean and nicely decorated. There’s an elevator to get to the 4th floor. The parking lot and beach access are very secure

This is a beautiful condo and the location is fabulous. It is a small complex on Crystal beach. The condo had plenty of room for a family of 4 with 2 older teens. It is beautiful and clean and very comfortable. You have an amazing view of the beach from the balcony and the master bedroom. The beach is beautiful and it is a private beach so you don't have to fight anyone for beach front seating. The chair service and horseshoe concept was a bit odd but it was really nice to have that private stretch of beach. We saw 2 weddings and multiple familly photo shoots on the beach right in front of the condo which shows how gorgeous that area is. The condo is very conveniently located near groceries and restaurants so anything you need is very close. The area is really nice with great beach houses and condos all around. I would highly recommend and we would definitely come back again. You just can't beat that amazing beach!
