Emerald Isle 105 by Alicia Hollis Rentals

Unit 105 Emerald Isles

This property is not as nice as the pictures on their site. It is old and need of updating. The comforter on the bed had rips all over it- it needed to be in the trash. There was no headboard and the wall was scratched where one used to be. The decor over the kitchen sink was a white painted square that looked like they had started to repair. The disposal that was there didn’t work and they were aware of this. We were very disappointed in the state of the unit.

It’s a good location within the complex. Close to the pool & beach. Note: It does not have a beach view. I assumed from the pictures that it was a small complex & w/ a pool/beach view room. It’s a two building complex. Unit 105 has a fence view & parking lot view. Parking lot was very tight. There are assigned spaces which is great but we had to do 3 pt turns to get our truck in & out of the spot for 105. The building is undergoing renovations. Materials are stacked right in front of the unit, & the whole front is blocked off. The noise was mild & intermittent. Ft Walton Beach is a busy little town & also serves Destin. Traffic during our stay was very busy. Often bumper to bumper at the main intersection. Unit 105 @ Emerald Isle is an affordable place to stay if you are looking for a pool & beach access.

Great location, but condo needs some updates We really enjoyed the location of this condo—steps from the beach and close to everything we needed. However, there were several aspects that could use improvement. The decor is very dated, and the kitchen appliances and utensils have seen better days. The sink would bubble up on both sides when using the disposal, which was a bit unpleasant. The bathtub had a strange shower mat that didn’t feel very clean or secure. The porch chairs were not the same as those shown in the listing, which was disappointing, especially since outdoor seating was one of the features we were looking forward to. Also, there was construction going on at the building during our stay—something we weren’t notified about ahead of time, which affected the overall experience. With a few updates and more accurate communication in the listing, this could be a much better stay. The location really is great, but the condo itself could use some attention.
