My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our mini-vacation at Emerald Isle! The facilities, beach, and easy walking distance to great restaurants will have us booking there again soon!
Luxury condo that is beautifully decorated with views for miles up and down the shoreline. Well stocked kitchen, easy walk to the beach and yummy cafés. Nice linens. Very clean and quiet.
My wife and I really enjoyed staying at this property, especially the location and that view! Our hotel cancelled our booking because of unexpected renovations and this property did not disappoint. All of the amenities were just what we were looking for and the price wasn't that much more. We will definitely consider coming back!
We loved our time at the beach. The property was as described. Very clean and comfortable. The proximity to the beach and other amenities was unbeatable. No complaints!

Very nice stay
Beautiful condo! I would have given a 5 star but the master bedroom curtains didn't work properly and were ripped and the balcony chairs were thread bare. Otherwise it was very nice.

Beautiful Condo
Great condo on the 17th Floor. The management company was super friendly. Condo was clean, beads were comfy. We have a cheer competition in Pensacola every yer, I hope to rent this unit every year.
The condo was exactly what we were looking for—unimpeded views of the ocean, neatly appointed, usable and appropriately stocked kitchen, pool access. We were not disappointed. The check-in process was smooth, online parking pass process was smooth and after hours check-out was as easy as dropping off a gym key. We hope to be back in the future.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The view from the balcony on this unit is amazing, you can sit out there for hours enjoying coffee or cocktails. We loved the fact there were many restaurants and shops nearby, were able to walk pretty much everywhere with little need to drive. Lots of codes and security to move around the facility, can be a bit annoying but the upside is not having anyone wandering around that does not belong. I would definitely stay here again.
We enjoyed our stay at this property. We had a couple of problems but staff was quick to fix them. The wind was ridiculous so the front door had a very loud whistling sound all night. The couch pullout bed was broken but they did bring a rollaway. It was in the middle of the living room and very small for two people to sleep comfortably but we made it work. The view was amazing. I would stay at this property again.

The place was ok, not the cleanest. Very hard to find check in bldg
The condo was ok but not as clean as it should have been
We enjoyed our stay there with beautiful beach views. Although the property had all the amenities that were needed and the place was clean and very satisfying, the pictures on the web site of the inside of the condo were completely different from the actual condo. I emailed the owner and was told this was due to renovations. I would definitely come back here, but feel a little deceived by the online pictures not being current or true.
This is our 3rd time to stay at Emerald Isle and we were very happy with this unit. Plus points: Bed was very comfortable, especially if you need a bit firmer mattress. Barstool high table and chairs on the balcony were great, so we weren't sitting starting at the railing. Plenty of dishes, pots, pans, etc. A couple of things (not a criticism, just know before you go) to stock up on or pack in your luggage: Extra paper goods (napkins, more trash bags, foil, saran wrap, pot holders, beach towels, fabric softener sheets and small container of laundry soap as we washed towels several times). Hopefully the Blues will be back next year, but regardless, we had a wonderful week!

beautiful view
beautiful view and very comfy bed to sleep on. Master bed is very high, even for my 6' height. Nice to have ice upon arrival. Ice dispenser doesn't always stop dispensing and you may need to open freezer. Had some beach toys if you need them. Beach and pools were lovely. Suggest bringing games for rainy days. Unit has 3 TVs and nice selection of DVDs, but no games. Codes for parking lot, pedestrian gate from beach and the road, and the front door access rarely, if ever worked. That was a consistant complaint from all the visitors, not just this unit. Front door to unit code however always worked.
Usually I never have an issue this time a little different. Nothing major but the price I paid I feel things should have been a little nicer. This time the condo I originally booked got switched without my permission and I just happened to catch it(thankfully in time) and they did correct it and even upgraded me to a 3bedroom. So the staff are awesome and very helpful! The condo was nice with beautiful views but it needs some work. Walls were scuffed up and dirty, shower curtain in the master was moldy, bed in single guest room was very wobbly my son was nervous he was going to break it and the poor couch all ripped on the back and had a slight smell, so we didn’t really sit on it. Like I said beautiful views just needs some paint and some upgrades.
Each year we come to Pensacola and we stay at Emerald Isle although this is the first time in this particular condo. I have to say of the ones we have stayed in this was our least favorite. Although it was comfortable and well furnished, the kitchen appliances need updated. They look to be from the 90's and the fridge ice and water sometimes wouldn't stop coming out. We are used to the condos we stay in having some amount of things in the cabinets such as salt and pepper or extra trash bags or paper towels. There was literally nothing. The glass door in the master bedroom that goes to the balcony was broken. My husband tried to open it and finally did but then spent an hour trying to get it fully closed. The master bed had a quality mattress on it but the bed is pretty high off the floor. I am 5feet 6inches and I have moderate back problems and my husband literally had to help me in the bed every night. I wasn't able to get into the bed on my own. I can see this being a serious issue for a lot of people who have mobilty issues and such. The view from this condo is fabulous and the included beach service is always very appreciated. We did enjoy our stay and will be back to Emeral Isle but will probably not book this particular condo again.

Very displeased
We chose this property due to its view and layout to spend our wedding night and a couple of extra nights here.. No one explained we had to check in at the Beach Club, so I was a bit lost on how to get in the property. As we arrived, we found the place to be very dirty. The floors were gross, the table and shower both had hair on them, the furniture wasn't dusted, there are water leaks coming out of the vent in main living area, hole in the wall in the master bathroom, handprints on TV and doors, nasty microwave, stains on curtains that even someone complained about before, still haven't been taken care of! This place wasn't cheap, and while I am trying to get ready for my wedding day, I have people coming in to clean around us, which should have been done! Very stressful!! The property responded immediately but overall, just not what you want to be dealing with. We were never allowed to choose the setting of our air. I am 50 with horrible hot flashes, and every time I would turn the air to about 67, it would be turned back up. A maintenance guy came to repair the bathroom and threw some spackle on it never to return. The property management was supposed to call my husband Monday to discuss the repair and didn't. I HATE leaving a bad review, but I hate even worse that I spent 1/2 my wedding day trying to get this condo clean. My day should have gone perfect and this was a far from perfect situation.
Location, Beach access and umbrella chairs were what brought us here. The cleanliness and amenities will bring us back. It appears the photos are of a different unit because nothing was the same but overall just cosmetic differences, view was incredible. The front door whistles constantly. We had instacart deliver groceries, seamless process. Already looking for a return visit. Thank you

Breathtaking view from the condo
Absolutely loved this condo, view of the water and waves coming was amazing! Only issues we had was check in, because it was after hours, and picked up welcome package at a different location which had several codes needed to get into our condo.
