While I love Emerald Shores the convince of getting to the beach and the location. The unit (3006) we stayed in was clean although it needs a bit more thought out cleaning done. The light fixtures are dirty with cob webs, the drapes are nasty, the stove is in need of a good clean to remove the grease from it. The furnishings desperately need to be updated! Not enough batteries for the remote. You have to constantly remove batteries to use the remote. Bedroom tv didn’t even work. There’s not even a dust ruffle on the beds! One of the kitchen chairs you can not even sit in . Owners definitely need to do a major overhaul and bring this unit up to date!

Loved our stay here great views close to the water and don’t underestimate the grocery store next door they have just about any thing you need

This place has an amazing view. Very nice that there is wonderful convenience & Liquor store right next door. They leave you with a lot of starter amenities for you to start off you your trip. It was great. We would definitely stay again.

Great location and beach view/access.

Things I loved about this property/unit 3006. The proximity to the beach, it was quite, we felt safe, the unit was very clean with plenty of towels and bedding for 6 people. We enjoyed the pool, the view is great. Having a grocery store next door was very nice and a short walk to Thomas donuts. This was my 2nd time staying in this unit and I’ll definitely rent it again.

We enjoyed our time at Emerald Shores. The condo, while a little dated, has a great location just across the street from a quiet beach. The pool would be a nice feature, but it was a little early in the season. This is a great location and a good space at this price point.

Pictures pretty much are exactly what we found at location. Unit is dated, I really felt carpet needed to be replaced as I felt it had not been cleaned in sometime, I could be wrong and it was just aged. Kitchen has everything you need including toaster and blender. The balcony was our favorite as we just had a wonderful view of the Gulf. Loved that we were next door to a small grocery store with a wine/liquor store and a small boutique. Also just a short walk to Thomas Donuts… trust me, you want to go there in the morning and evening for ice cream. We did have a problem our first few days as the air wasn’t working. We had a great time, and for the price of the unit, I would never complain.

View of the ocean

I love the Laguna Beach area and this trip was perfect. It was Thunder Beach, but it was not crowded on this end. Only a few people were in the other condos but we manage to befriend everyone.. The view from this place is fantastic.. It has everything you need to cook and a grocery store right next door. The only issue we had was no can opener that worked (we borrowed from the neighbors), the dishwasher would never stop. I had to stop it after two hours and hand dry everything. No batteries in the tv remotes (not a biggie), but the Wifi only worked for my laptop, everything else I had to run off my hotspot. Overall this place was great. Will definitely be back. Vacasa was excellent in their communications with us before and during our stay.

Being so close to uncrowded beach

The place was overall quite nice for what I paid in late September. It has everything you need for a few days or a week with some considerations in mind. It has a washer and dryer but the dryer doesn’t work very well at all. For example, you can’t dry more than 3 towels at a time and it takes about 2-3 hours. If you’re patient and don’t have much laundry to do, it’ll work for you. It was missing some basic kitchen items like a blender so we bought one and left it (you’re welcome to whoever comes next :) ). The TV is pretty basic, has cable, but not a smart TV. Didn’t really bother us cause hey, we’re at the beach! The Wi-Fi works but is sort of crummy. Didn’t really bother us but if you need to do business it’d be a problem. Definitely a quirky little place but everything was comfortable and the view was great! You’re across the street from the beach but there is nothing blocking your view in front of you as it is a public beach (also not very crowded for that reason as compared to staying in the high rises)! It also has a pool. No community grill though which was sort of disappointing. Nonetheless, it really was a great place to stay for a nice quite vacation for the money.

Ice maker did not work when we got there, plug in master bathroom did not work, had to go somewhere else to dry your hair. Ice maker was repaired on Thursday, electrical plug in bathroom was not. A little disappointing for what I paid. Floor from the kitchen counter sagging.

The place was great , nice and quiet but still close to everything. The dryer was a pain to get anything dry but brought enough clothes for the trip so it wasn't to much of a pain.

Perfect unit for a relaxing getaway. Only a mile from Pier Park, but away from all the crowds.

Perfect home away from home!

Very nice place and beautiful view.

Overall the inside of the condo was clean and beds were comfortable. A few things could stand to be updated like the TV in the living room.

Within steps to the beach! 5 stars for location!!! Great little place next door called Carousel to grab essentials and this and that. Great pool with attentive maintenance crew. Laid back environment for sure. Right on Front Beach St so you’re close to everything within a few miles.

Never could get anyone on the phone. Oven and dryer never worked the whole time week we were there. Found one of the offices and put work order in to have items repaired and never seen a repair man. I am a property manager in my home town and know this is not how a property management company should be.

The view was unobstructed. The beach was right across the street. On double red flag days having the pool waa great. The property is clean and well maintained. The individual condo was super

There were some issues with this condo that need addressing. I have to put it on here because the first issue is you cannot get ahold of anyone when there is a problem. I guess that is a perk of renting from an individual and not a rental company. The condo was not cleaned well. Big chip crumbs left on side table, grease spots on table , food on kitchen floor, and dust on utility and laundry door. Dryer doesn’t work well, we dried one load three times. I am used to being provided bath towels in bathrooms, only four towels provided and two weren’t bath towels but thin beach towels that say Vacasa on them. Cable and internet spotty. So most of the stay was spent using up our own data.

This was our 2nd time staying here. We love the location because it is quiet here. The condo is roomy and the beach is directly across the street. The pool is clean and there is a grocery store right next door.

Very nice location, the condo was nice and clean. I will definitely stay again.

Our reservation was for 6 people. The room was only stocked with a 3/4 roll of toilet paper. The bed in the master bedroom did not have a flat sheet (only a fitted sheet and bedspread) the upstairs bed had fitted and flat sheets and one blanket. There were no other linens for the pullout bed. The cable in the living room did not work. I called the property manager and about 16 hours later someone brought more supplies and fixed the cable. The ceiling fans and the furniture were thick with dust. The downstairs tub and upstairs sink had slow drains. The complex was very convenient to area attractions and had easy beach access across the street.

Condo was clean and quiet. The view from the balcony was beautiful. It was the perfect size for our family. Beach is right across street. We will definitely book here again!

Very clean place well maintained and enjoyable time, quiet neiborhood.

The place was clean, and well put together. Really enjoyed the view from the balcony and just a walk across the street to the beach. Really nice place we enjoyed our stay.

The condo was clean, spacious, and quiet. Easy access to beach. The view of water from balcony was beautiful. We will definitely stay here again!

This place is wonderful! Right across from the beach, walking distance to Thomas' Donuts, and next door to Carousel. We are already making plans for next summer.

This place is wonderful with an amazing location. We are already making plans for next year

Cups in cabinet had spider webs. Dust ruffles in beds looke das if they had never been removed. Carpet was crusty and crispy to step on. 🤢 Pool was awfully unkept. The wall would take the top layer of your skin off as it did to my kids. Get your kids some water shoes before going in this. Everybody was smoking and drinking. Not very family oriented place. Will not be back.

If you are looking for a place to stay that is quiet, this is the place to stay! The location is perfect and the beach was not extremely crowded. There is not an elevator at this building. You will have to climb stairs, just to let anyone with any handicap know. It is only a short drive to all the hustle and bustle of Panama City Beach and attractions. We would stay here again.
