Description

This three bedroom beachfront vacation rental can accommodate up to eight happy beachgoers. Emerald Dunes has a popular highly sought after location in Destin's Crystal Beach. It is pretentiously perched overlooking the "emerald" toned gulf upon sugary "dunes" in an aptly named residential beach tower.

Emerald Dunes 203 is a luxurious vacation residence that is comfortably furnished with a fashionable contemporary flair that includes fun coastal accents. An oversized oil painting of a lighthouse and playful sea life prints provide tropical flourishes. The open living area includes a chocolate toned leather couch that doubles as a queen size sleeper sofa, a matching loveseat, and a sea life patterned accent chair as a comfortable ensemble around a unique round marble-topped table. A double set of glass doors provide beachfront vista views and lead to a breezy balcony. A glass topped dining table nearby sits beneath a vintage styled multi-sconce chandelier. Six sleek dining chairs provide a sophisticated, yet relaxed setting for dining. The open kitchen features stainless steel appliances and a thick richly mottled granite-topped bar with three stools for the enjoyment of favorite drinks or tasty appetizers.

The Master Bedroom has double corner windows that look out upon the bright white beach. You may enjoy these glorious views from the king sized bed attired with a nautically colored sea life patterned pillows. The luxurious en-suite bath includes an individual dressing table off the bedroom with a vanity. Another separate vanity is in the adjoining main bath which includes a large walk-in shower with a soothing rainfall shower head. The two Guest Bedrooms share a full hall bath. One of these rooms has a king sized bed that's decorated in calming cool colors and has direct access to the hall bath. The other Guest Bedroom is a Kid's Twin Bunkroom featuring a fun nautical look.

This prime Crystal Beach location places you minutes away from favorite gulf front restaurants, friendly beach bars and plenty of shopping venues. The Disneyesque retail village of Destin Commons is close by with a wide array of designer clothing boutiques, specialty shops, restaurants and a state of the arts Multiplex Theater. Grocery stores, wine outlets, other shops and restaurants are also close by at the Paradise Key shopping center nearby. This convenient centralized location places you equidistant between Destin and Miramar Beach allowing you to have the best of both worlds. This includes all the action at Harborwalk Village on the Destin Harbor as well as family fun at the Village of Baytowne Wharf and bargain designer store shopping at the famed Silver Sands Premium Outlets.
