Emerald Grande

Resort is lovely. Very family friendly. Indoor pool is small, but heated; perfect for when it started raining. Outdoor pool area is big, with an adult only jacuzzi. Resort is located at a harbor/marina, so no beach access here. There is a free shuttle to take you to their private white sand beach about 5 minutes away . Great place for families. Third bedroom in pool view suite has bunk beds - my grandson was very excited about that!

Ashley at the Grande Vista Bar was the absolute best in serving quality drinks and awesome conversation. She made us all feel very welcome and was so personable. A very pleasant experience indeed.

Our stay at the Emerald Grande in Destin was absolutely incredible! From the moment we arrived, everything felt first-class. The resort is beautiful — clean, well-maintained, and perfectly located with some of the best views in Destin overlooking the harbor and the Gulf. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and had all the amenities we needed. Waking up to that balcony view each morning was unbeatable. The staff was outstanding — friendly, helpful, and always willing to go above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. The pool area was relaxing with plenty of seating, and the private beach access was a huge plus. Having the HarborWalk Village right downstairs was so convenient — tons of great restaurants, shops, and live entertainment all within walking distance. We also love

Emerald Grande is an amazing place to stay in Destin. The views are beautiful, rooms are clean and spacious, and the location is perfect. One of the coolest parts is the boat that takes you straight to the beach, which makes the whole experience feel like a vacation adventure. Staff is friendly and everything is convenient, from food to activities. Great spot for families or a fun getaway.

I stayed 2 nights in the 3-bedroom condo at Emerlad Grande. The views were fabulous- we even saw dolphins one morning. My husband and I ordered crab cakes which were delicious. We will definitely come back again.
