Description

This comfortably furnished three-bedroom vacation residence can sleep eight carefree beachgoers thanks to a special Bunk Room for the kids. Emerald Dunes has a convenient location in Crystal Beach of Destin, close to abundant shopping venues and popular restaurants. This exclusively gated six-story tall beachfront residential building with low density gives guests a perfect setting for privileged vacations.

Emerald Dunes 504 features a bright open living, dining, and kitchen area with a mix of tropical and comfortable coastal styling. A wraparound couch with a white safari slipcover sits beneath a serene painting of a misty forest scene next to a lake with Lilly Pads. Lamps with shimmering decorative bottle bases provide elegant lighting, while a round straw woven rope table with a glass top is perfect for cocktails and appetizers. This seating ensemble faces a large flatscreen TV mounted on a dark, handsome credenza for entertainment. The dining area beside a large gold framed mirror includes a rustic hardwood table with six crisscross-backed chairs. Four white cushion-topped stools provide additional space for drinks or dining on a gleaming white kitchen counter bar. Warm cream-colored cabinetry, a glass front cupboard, and brushed stainless steel appliances inspire the creation of a fun family feast.

The Master Bedroom has white regal antique cottage-style furnishings, a king-sized bed with a large latte-colored cloth headboard, a sunny window, and balcony access. The luxurious ensuite bath includes a sleek black granite dressing counter with a vanity, a deep soaking tub for relaxing pleasure, and a walled glass shower. A Guest Bedroom has the same lovely styling with a king-sized bed and ensuite bath with a tub shower combination. The Bunk Room has a twin over king-sized bunk bed, a twin trundle bed, and access to a full bath with a tub/shower combination. All bedrooms include flatscreen TVs for evening viewing pleasure.

A breezy beachfront balcony is accessible from both the Living Room and Master Bedroom providing panoramic vistas of the luminescent emerald-toned gulf. This balcony sits only three stories above the beautiful beach, close enough to the waters' edge to hear the soothing surf sounds while enjoying the vivid views. Adirondack chairs invite you to enjoy these views while sipping upon favorite drinks.

Located in front of the building near clusters of tropical palm trees is a nice swimming pool with a brick paver patio that includes seating and tables for drinks and dining. A bubbling Hot Tub is also provided for soothing relaxation. Gas grills with gulf views are nearby that invite you to create a fun 'Surf n Turf' meal for poolside dining.

This fantastic Crystal Beach locale is only minutes away from grocery stores and sensational shopping adventures at Destin Commons. The highly acclaimed Destin Commons provides an idyllic shopping experience with palm-lined pedestrian-friendly avenues, a classic fountain, a geyser plaza for kids, fashion boutiques, fine clothiers, specialty shops, restaurants with friendly bars, and an AMC Multiplex Theater. The famous Silver Sands Premium Outlets is also minutes away in Miramar Beach with bargains on world-class designer goods. Four wonderful locally-owned restaurants are nearby overlooking the jewel-toned gulf, including The Crab Trap, Camille's, 790 on the Gulf, and the Beachwalk Cafe.

We stayed here back at the beginning of Aug. and we absolutely LOVED this condo
Very clean, plenty of towels and wash clothes, rooms were big and spacious ! We loved that the beach was private , only people in your condo are allowed to set up tents, so no need for getting up crazy early to have a good spot! Everything we needed was close literally in the room. You’re also close to everything as well which is a plus!!! There was never a huge wait on the elevator either!!!
Lindzey D from Chatsworth, GA - Stayed August 2026
Thank you for the wonderful review of Emerald Dunes 504! We’re so glad you loved the clean, spacious accommodations, private beach access, convenient location, and having everything you needed close at hand. Ocean Reef Resorts truly appreciates your kind words, and we’d love to welcome you back to the beach again soon.

Perfect location to a beautiful beach, walk right to the beach. Very private location, as no one can get in and beach is my favorite in the U.S
