Good location right on the beach. Within walking distance to Waffle House and Pineapple Willy's. The beach was great!

The place was mostly clean upon our arrival. The bathroom floor and tub were a little dirty. Construction was going on in the building, and it was a little noisy at times.

Great overall experience, we’ll definitely be back.
Pros:

View was amazing, staff was friendly, room was clean, everything we need was provided, close to everything we wanted to do. We will definitely be back next year, hopefully for a longer stay.

Cons:

Leak in bathroom ceiling that we only noticed on the last day and our contact person scheduled repair the moment we notified her and a small area dirty above living room ac vent were only two things I could mention and had to think long and hard for those. Excellent place honestly

Emerald bay escape 10/10
Pros:

The location of the property was amazing! pretty quiet and never too many people at the beach. AMAZING view of the sunset.
I loved the simple check in process and the gated parking lot. If there was a problem the owners would text back right away and help anyway they could.

Staying here was beautiful, easy, and relaxing; exactly how a vacation should be!
Pros:

I loved the view from the balcony. Also the mattress was insanely comfortable. In fact it was so comfortable my boyfriend (who has back problems) was trying to see what brand of mattress it was lol. Also obviously the location to the beach was just amazing. Also the owners of the property had excellent communication. They even gave us a seperate number to reach them at and stated they would respond asap. And they definitely did, not that I even had anything to complain about, but even texting about a coffee pot that was cracked(that we didn’t even use because we used the k-cups side of the pot) they immediately ordered and had a new coffee pot sent to the room.

Cons:

I can’t think of a think I didn’t like.
