The view!

We had a very nice 2 week vacation. We lived on the deck because the view was so wonderful. We cooked everyday. Had everything we needed. I have already recommended this place to a few people!

Family vacation

Part of the condo’s ceiling was coming off in certain parts but other than that the condo was very nice. Loved the location. It was very easy to schedule our vacation.

Great Views! Needs Updated.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo has so much potential. Emerald Towers is our favorite place to stay because of the size and coziness of the building. However, I believe this unit needs a bit of updating. We had the basics needed, but could have used a table on the balcony and a more kitchen amenities. I recommend this unit if you're rarely in it, but not to enjoy indoors. We would stay in it again, if it were our last option.

Perfect Location, Great Beach, Average Condo

We enjoyed our first family beach vacation at Emerald Towers West and would return but likely not to the condo we rented. It was average at best. Personally, I like to cook a bit while on vacation and there was very little to work with and what was there was dated and old - a very common theme with this particular room. Back door sticks to the point where my wife chipped multiple nails. Balcony floor was stained. I knew this going in after talking with the property managers and things being dated wasn’t a concern of our prior but it was a bit more dated than we thought upon arrival (zenith tv in the bedroom which didn’t change channels and we couldnt get the tv in the living room to work either). On the other end of the equation, ETW was great. The facility is a little run down, but the beach access and accessibility is second to none and that’s what we were paying for. Pool was nice and clean each day and there are restaurants, putt putt and ice cream within 5 minutes of the place. Boardwalk, which was awesome, is 10 mins down the road. Would return to Emerald Towers West but likely not to that specific room until things were updated.

Needs some TLC

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This rental was functional, except for the kitchen. If you plan to use the kitchen, DO NOT rent here! Dishes were stained, some glass cookware looked dirty/greasy. The layout was ridiculously comical. The only place for the refrigerator is in front of drawers so you cannot access them well at all. There was no good place for the silverware, because the drawers can’t fully pull out. So it’s in a tray above the stove. The bed was very uncomfortable. If you look under the bed you can see the bottom falling out. Paint was chipping and peeling all over. Furniture was well worn. No decorations so it looked very bland. It definitely did not give off a beachy feel! We had to hunt for the TV remote which was in a box full of other remotes & outdated CD players above the refrigerator. (We accidentally came across this when looking for the silverware). BOTTOM LINE: We paid as much as everybody else in that building for a one-bedroom but got much less! The facility overall is fine, just find a different unit!!

Emerald Towers West 3003 Very Disappointed

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location was great as was the view from balcony. We visit the Island 2-3 x yearly and I have to say this was the most disappointing rental I’ve stayed in. There was no cookware other than 1 ex small skillet and very minimal other items in the kitchen. The living room furniture needs replaced or at least cleaned. It was so dirty and stained we didn’t even use it. Bedroom carpet needs replaced very worn and loose. Need blackout blinds in bedroom. The owners should spend a few days and stay in this unit because it definitely needs upgrades and replacements. The unit was clean and Brooks and Shorey were amazing as always! We’re coming again in December already booked with Brooks and Shorey but we definitely picked a different condo!

Anniversary Beach Trip 2022

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit had the perfect beach view whether sitting on the balcony, the couch or making a meal from the kitchen area. The pool is in the front of the building, just beyond the parking lot, it’s smaller than others, but clean. No hot tub. Overall, this unit was nice and clean. You can see that they must’ve been renovating it by leaving paint cans in the pantry & hot water heater area next to pantry could use new insulation as it is a bit torn. The bedroom curtains & valance were down & left in the closet, inside a big garbage bag. My husband put a blanket over the blinds at night to block the LED light outside the bedroom from shinning through a lot more at bedtime. The unit could use room darkening curtains for sleeping. Otherwise, the bed is firm, comfortable. A/C works good with summertime heat. The bathroom light is dim, could be brighter. The hook on the back of door is broke, needs replacing. The double sink vanity area was nice and well lit, given plenty of towels for a week stay. The washer/dryer combo has a lil age, but works good. The lint trap was missing the cover over it on the door, but no lint was on clothes. Overall, it is a nice unit, just needs a kitchen upgrade with a few minor repairs. And, I would hope that they would keep the paint cans in the future of where I’m guessing was a “locked” utility closet next to the washer/dryer, along with the mop/broom & vacuum inside of it, not in the pantry or bedroom closet. Perhaps leave it unlocked to store those supplies. The perks of having 2 beach chairs, parking pass and one (1) free excursion with a paid excursion for every day of your stay is a plus. Overall, our experience here was an awesome stay and experience!

Shark Fishing Guides

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great view, clean condo, and well located.Shark fishing guide was chumming for sharks from a kayak around 4:00pm approximately 100 yards out from condo’s beach. I found that to be a bit disconcerting given the fact people were still in the water. 8’10” tiger shark landed around 7:00pm. I loved it, most said they weren’t going back in the water.

Family Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The room was not very clean when we checked in, a shirt was found in the couch, floors appeared to still be dirty, a wet diaper was found in the shower curtain and a dirty wash rag was behind one of the night stands. This room could definitely use some upgrades and at least have curtains in the bedroom. I had family staying a couple of rooms down and their room was way nicer and had more or a home away from home feeling.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo us nice and quite, the only down fall is the smoking in the balcony. It made it difficult to leave the sliding glass door open. The view is awesome and you want to open that door but the smell of the smoke overwhelmed.

Stay in 3003

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall I would say that our experience was not bad. The only thing that was not good was the quality of furniture in the condo. The couches were very uncomfortable, and the bed was just plain horrible. Other than that it was okay. We have stayed with you before but in a different unit and had a much better stay.
