Awesome stay at Destin Pointe
Esmeralda was an awesome place to stay! Location couldn’t be better. It’s a short walk to the bay or the gulf. Both beaches are beautiful. We saw dolphins every day which was cool. House was very clean with top end furnishings. Beds were super comfy! Pool and hot tub were great. Will definitely return!
