Recent Emerald Coast guest reviews

The room itself was fantastic and very comfortable. However, the building was still under major construction, which we had expected would be mostly completed by now. The hallways felt like cold, dark basements—poorly lit and felt somewhat unsafe. Once the renovations are fully finished, I’m sure this place will be amazing. That said, with what looked like every floor under construction, I don't see this complete in 2026. Maybe not even 2027.

Named for the color of the ocean, the Emerald Coast combines ethereal green waters and sugary white sand beaches to create an atmosphere unlike any other. Leave your worries behind and enjoy an exotic—and unforgettable—escape from everyday life in one of our Emerald Coast beach rentals.

Where is the Emerald Coast?

Emerald Coast refers to Florida's coastal area on the northern tip of the Gulf of Mexico, spanning from Gulf Shores, AL to Panama City Beach, FL. The approximately 100 miles of coastline stretches through untamed wildlife preserves, sand dunes, and sleepy beachfront communities.

Things to do on the Emerald Coast

Pack light and travel often. Each of our vacation rentals is surrounded by friendly communities, each offering a unique sense of culture, history, and natural beauty along the Gulf. Board a unique Buccaneer Pirate Cruise in Destin, feed penguins at the Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park in family-friendly Fort Walton Beach, and shop until you drop at Pier Park in Panama City Beach.

Golf enthusiasts can practice their swing at the well-managed golf course in the peaceful resort town of Navarre, while the rest of the group enjoys an educational visit to the National Naval Aviation Museum in historic Pensacola. Wherever you roam along the Emerald Coast, excitement awaits.

Experience the thrill of the sea, fresh air, and a thing called 'island time' for yourself when you stay in one of our fantastic Emerald Coast beach house rentals, where you'll create long-lasting memories—and a few tan lines.
