Amazing Vacation!

Our stay at 1203 Emerald Tower was amazing. The view was breathtaking! The condo was spotless and came with every kitchen gadget you could possibly need! The young man at the front desk that checked us in was extremely courteous and made us feel very welcome. My only complaint would be the ridiculousness that they have going on with the beach chairs. If you don't rent from them you can't sit anywhere near the water! Your exiled to the very last row available on the beach and the price they want you to pay to rent the chairs & umbrella could cost you your first born if you want to rent all week. I hope this will no longer be a thing next time we visit!

Great view

This condo had an amazing view! The sheets were dirty in the master bedroom, but we just washed them ourselves. Check in/out was easy. We received the gate code and wifi password prior to arrival, as promised. The beach service sets up beach chairs/umbrellas early and pretty much takes up the entire beach. They don't allow you to bring your own chairs and umbrellas. Not a big deal to us, because we usually don't go to the beach until evening after beach service has packed up for the day. However, there were a few guests who were not pleased with this. Overall, our stay was amazing.
