We have enjoyed the Emerald Isle, beach, pools, fitness room. Shops, restaurants were in walking distances. We walked to the fishing pier near main Pensacola beach and it was awesome. Kitchen has a lot of bake ware, and many different thing in order to make breakfast, dinner. We were supplied with dish soap, dishwasher pads, laundry detergent, paper towels, toilet paper, and some shower gels/soaps enough for a couple of days. The nearest Walmart is about 20 min drive one way, which is super convenient. The hotel has storage unit on the ground floor, which may have some beach chairs, or swimming/ beach toys that you can borrow during your stay. But definitely you need to check with your management on what exactly you may borrow from the storage. I would definitely recommend for families with children. The canopy or umbrella is the must for summer, because you can get sunburn easily even with sun block. You may check the storage room first for the umbrella!
/ chairs, or can rent on the beach, or buy your own which ever convenient for you. The ocean is incredibly beautiful,warm, and enjoyable.
