"We absolutely loved our stay here!! PERFECT LOCATION..just a short walk to the beach and close to everything!! It was only 10 minutes away from a pontoon and tiki bar place we rented a boat from (peaks pontoons) which was great. The airbnb was amazing and RealJoy answered all questions I had quickly. We can’t wait to come back, we made so many great memories here!! :)"

"Wonderful week! - We had a fabulous experience in this unit! The view was beautiful. The water pressure in both showers was low but that didn't stop us from having a wonderful vacation experience. The communication with the property manager was great! Anything we needed, they responded almost immediately. We have been coming to stay in condos in Emerald Isle for several years, and never had a complaint about our stay. Fantastic complex!!"

"The place was clean and had ample storage. Cool beach vibe decorations. You can tell older property, but the bathroom has been updated nicely. Water temp was always good. Nice TV in living room and even came with books and some games. Having 2 teens, it was nice having a second bedroom with full beds and a second bathroom! Many places I looked at did not. King bed was comfy, but wish came with comforter. Kitchen apliances were pretty nice and came with plenty of pans, plates, etc.. You do need more paper towels and trash bags and wish I had a scrubber for pans. The view was great. it is on the lower floor, and you do have to overlook a parking lot, but you can see the gulf from the balcony and living room and just steps from the white sands. The pool was nice and awesome to get into after baking a while on the beach. Did have trouble contacting beach services to reserve beach chairs, but always found some. Beach was very nice and not overly crowded."

"Loved The Decor - My family and I enjoyed our stay. This place is decorated, very nicely, and had a homey feel to it. Our only complaints were sandy sheets, in the master bedroom, water got cold, as I was showering when another family member turned on the water, in the other bathroom., and the sliding glass door got stuck, in the master bedroom, and wouldn’t close. Maintenance did come and got it closed, but I was afraid to open it, again. Also need more lighting in the parking lot."

Angie, we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with some feedback regarding your family's enjoyable stay in Emerald Isle 208, a two-bed/two-bath condo on Okaloosa Island.
