Emerald Beach Resort was built in 2007 and is beautifully situated on 650 feet of white sandy beach along the Gulf of Mexico. Each of the 260 carefully crafted condos has a spectacular beachfront view and plenty of room for the whole family.  Throughout every one-, two- and three-bedroom condo, the soothing sound of crashing waves complements an atmosphere of sophistication and charm. Every convenience has been considered, including a washer and dryer and full-sized kitchen in every unit, a lagoon pool with children’s water feature, the Skybar cafe, a poolside tiki bar, a fitness center and Starbucks Coffee on site.  The aim at Emerald Beach Resort is to create the ideal family environment.  Emerald Beach Resort is one mile away from Pier Park which houses hundreds of quaint boutiques, restaurants like Margaritaville and Tootsies, famous chains like Five Guys Burgers and Fries, Dillards  and a multi screen movie theatre. Other local attractions nearby include Gulf World Marine Park, Miracle Strip Amusement Park, Frank Brown Sports Complex & Shipwreck Island Waterpark.
