Beautiful 3 BR condo on Okaloosa Island near Destin FL

Our luxurious Emerald Isle Dreams Condo is on breathtaking Okaloosa Island at the beautiful Emerald Isle Club. The Gulf of Mexico and its beautiful turquoise waters are steps away right out front.
This beautifully decorated three bedroom, two bath condo is on the fourth floor of a building directly on the Gulf, with two balconies offering great side views of the beach and Gulf.
Okaloosa Island is a stunningly beautiful barrier island between Ft. Walton Beach and Destin that is famous for its laid-back atmosphere, pristine beaches, water sports, and awesome family attractions.
Our unit #402 is a spacious 1,700-square foot 3BR condo that was recently totally remodeled and updated, from floors to ceilings. Everything in our unit is new - appliances, beds, furnishings, linens, bath towels, dishes... everything!
The Emerald Isle Club is a great family-friendly building. Spring break and partying groups of singles are not allowed. It's quiet and relaxing and you and your kids will be safe and secure and have a ball here.
Our unit is ideal for two couples with 2-4 young children. We can comfortably handle 7-8 people. Please note that 8 people is our limit and they should not be a group of adults. Our condo is set up and geared for families and the third bedroom is most suitable for kids, not adults.
We have two balconies! Both have comfy furniture and awesome side views of the beach and the Gulf.
The main master bedroom has its own private side balcony with views of both the Gulf out front to the right and the intercoastal waterway to the left. It has a new memory foam king-size bed and private, luxurious attached bath and deluxe walk-in glass shower.
There is another king-size bed in the second master bedroom, which also has a private side balcony with a wonderful view of the gulf. The guest bedroom has direct access to the second bathroom and shower.
The third bedroom also shares access to that second bath with tub and shower and has a twin bed and a twin-over-regular bunk bed. This is a great room for kids or extra guests, though the top bunk is not meant for anyone over 100 pounds. The twin and regular beds can accommodate adults, just not the top bunk.
There's a comfortable living room with sofas and chairs.
There is also a separate family room with a queen-size sleeper sofa, love seat and chair that is great for family games, movies and relaxing. It can be closed off as a fourth bedroom for sleeping privacy if desired.
As noted above. the unit is great for a large family or two couples with small kids. It is ideal for up to eight people. Groups over 8 need prior approval to book.
Large and brand new flat screen high definition televisions (five of them) are in all the major rooms, The living room has a 55 inch Smart TV with DVD. All the TVs have cable. We have free internet wi-fi for your devices.
The kitchen is fully equipped with brand new cooking utensils, silverware, glassware, coffee maker, deluxe Ninja blender and appliances.
We have is a Pack 'n Play for babies and a small booster chair.
There are coin-operated washers and dryers in a separate laundry room down the outside hallway for your convenience.
Out front on the beach, our guests have daily beach service with two lounge chairs and an umbrella, set up for you each morning and included with your booking at no additional charge (service provided March 1 through Oct. 31). We also have boogie boards and some beach toys for fun by the water!
Watch the dolphins as they play in the beautiful emerald-colored waters. Or the sea birds as they skitter up and down the surf line. Feel your tensions and stress slip away. Rental kayaks, paddleboards and other beach toys are available right out front, too.
There is a beautiful seasonally heated swimming pool for you and your guests, right in front, just off the beach. Outdoor grills, picnic tables and a spacious deck are great for beachside picnics and socializing.
Inside #402, you’ll love morning coffee on either one of your own private balconies, listening to the waves in the afternoon, watching the stars come out at night. There are comfy chairs and tables on both balconies for lounging or outdoor dining.
There is absolutely no smoking (or vaping) inside this unit.
There are so many things to do here and in the immediate surrounding area of the Emerald Coast! Our beaches are considered to be among the very best in the world.
Play beach volleyball on sand so clean it squeaks underfoot. Laugh with the sea lions at the world's oldest, continuously operating live marine show. Land a big one from the 1,261-foot-long fishing pier five minutes away.
If you want to explore, the area abounds in fun things to do and experience.
Destin, with world-class shopping and dining, is a 10-minute drive away. There are marinas and attractions right nearby, like the Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park just a mile down the beach and Destin's Harborwalk Village, where restaurants, activities, and entertainment abound.
The spectacular Gulf Islands National Seashore is a short drive to the west.
Find out for yourself why families return here year after year, generation after generation, to build memories in the sand.

Nice place, beautiful beach

Property could have been a little cleaner especially the floors. Our feet were black after walking barefoot for only a few minutes. Stranger’s hair was found on the duvet cover and bathroom counter. The kitchen is smaller but well equipped. The property, pool and beach are well maintained and beautiful. Overall we loved our stay and wanted to stay longer. Would recommend and would stay again.

Family Beach Vacation

The condo was in a great location. Very clean, well maintained, and beautifully decorated. Beach chairs being rented daily by the condo owner is also an amazing bonus, it made our walk down to the beach so much easier. They also provided floats and beak toys, which meant one less thing for us to unpack. Will definitely choose to stay at #402 in the future!

Loved this condo!

We really enjoyed the space that we had in this condo! It fit 6 adults, one teenager, and an infant perfectly with plenty of room if we had a few extra kids! The condo was clean and had every thing we needed/forgot. We love Emerald Isle in general, this was our 3rd year staying there, and this was by far the best condo we’ve stayed in there. We hope to be able to stay here again in the coming years! 10/10!

Fun in the sun!

We had an amazing vacation and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We loved the spaciousness of the condo and especially enjoyed having a second sitting/tv room to accommodate different family members wanting to do different things during down time. The hosts were very timely in their responses and made everything very clear and easy upon our arrival. We had access to everything we needed and were able to spend so much time bonding and having fun in the sun on the beautiful beach. Thank you for a great stay!

Wonderful Beach Stay

The condo was perfect for our two families … the two masters gave everyone their own space and the extra living room area gave the tweens/teens their own area to hang out in the evenings. A great location and just steps from the beach! The owners were very communicative and helpful throughout the booking process and our stay. I highly recommend this condo and would definitely stay again.

Beach vacation

Condo is very nice and has so many sleeping options. It worked great for our blended family that went. It had everything u needed especially for cooking. One suggestion i might make to add some more kid friendly plates into the dishes that r there. We just grabbed some paper plates to use because my kids would have definitely broken the glass ones. The owners were very responsive when we needed them. We had a water situation that needed addressed immediately. They were on it and even called the next day to make sure there were no more issues. The one thing that was not ideal for my family was the parking. This is something the owner has no control over as the spot assigned is just the way it is. For us it was challenging as its in a covered area with a wall on one side and a pilar on the other. We have a big suv and a handicapped child so we had to pull the car out to load him in. Plus side was the car stayed cooler because it was covered. Like insaid this was just not ideal for our family but could be perfectly fine for everyone else. Other then that we have nothing but good things to say! Thanks for having us.

May Stay!

We had an awesome time on the beach. The location is close to multiple restaurants and things to do. The listing was 100% accurate and we had no problems with the property. Only thing I would have a complaint about would be to have more towels on hand for a larger group that stays in the future. Not a really a complaint just more of a suggestion. The property was clean and very nice.

Pool, Ocean and a birthday Cake Too

Clean, safe and great location. The property is close enough to the attractions but far away enough from the heavy traffic. The pool was just outside the back of the property and the beach was just behind the pool. The unit had plenty of room for 6. Parents, kids and grandparents all had a room. Next time we will stay longer.

The perfect condo

The check in information was very detailed. The condo had everything we needed. The two living areas was perfect for adults to play games in one area and the children can enjoy themselves in the other area. My wife and I had our own balcony at night and my son and his wife had their balcony - all with a view of the water.

Wonderful home close to the beach

My husband and I took our three kids and 5 parents on a beach vacation. All 10 of us had plenty of room in the condo. It was wonderful being able to walk right out to the beach whenever anyone pleased and be able to go back to the house at any time for a nap lunch etc. The kids loved being able to jump bin the pool and play when we didn’t want to deal with the sand. It only took a few minutes to get to Destin and all the amazing restaurants. I would highly recommend staying at this condo and the hosts were very helpful!

About the host

Hosted by Mike Wendland

Host profile image
We're Mike and Jennifer Wendland and we do a lot of traveling across North America and discovered the Emerald Coast of Northwest Florida several years ago. We fell in love with the laid back beauty of Okaloosa Island and its awesome beaches and have found ourselves here so often that we decided to get our own place. We bought this condo in 2016 and have totally rebuilt it room by room. When we can't be here because of our travel schedule (we are travel writers), we love to share it with our special guests as a rental.

Why they chose this property

It is large, roomy and those two balconies give it such great views. We loved remodeling it and chose this unit because it is so close to the beach and those awesome emerald green waters.
