You'll find this TOP-RATED, upscale beach villa 1n a quiet cul-de-sac surrounded by rustling palm trees and NO REAR NEIGHBORS!
Your 5-min walk toward the soft, white sands of our gated PRIVATE BEACH will take you through the beautifully landscaped Emerald Shores community, a sought-after, gated resort with 2 pools, basketball court, and a tennis/pickleball court.

Welcome to PARADISE!

ABOUT EMERALD SHORES...
Emerald Shores has two entry gates on both Scenic 98 and Hwy 98, giving you easy and quick access to dining, shopping, and local attractions!
PLUS...You'll be just steps away from the white sand and turquoise water found only on Florida's Emerald Coast.

The beautifully landscaped EMERALD SHORES community has shaded sidewalks throughout and offers a complimentary beach tram during peak seasons (mid-May through mid-August).

When you first arrive at the Emerald Shores PRIVATE BEACH pavilion, check in with the attendant to claim your COMPLIMENTARY reserved beach setup (two chairs and an umbrella). This free setup is our gift to YOU and is serviced by La Dolce Vita mid-March through mid-October. We'll let them know you're coming!
At our house, you'll also find a large beach wagon, extra beach chairs, a rolling cooler, a small collection of beach toys, and plenty of beach towels.

House in a private community, which offers two pools. Private beach access, with provide transportation to beach was terrific. This helped with elderly parents and young kids, along with everything you take to beach. House had everything needed to keep kids and adults occupied and happy. Overall great location. Would book again.

Coastal Breeze was Perfect!
We had an excellent stay! The house was open and airy, so CLEAN and welcoming! Our twin grandsons loved the bunk beds; perfect just outside their parents room. What put it over the top were the provided beach towels, laundry soap, dish soap, toilet paper,etc…enough to last our entire stay! No worrying abut rushing to the store to get essentials!! Darlene, the owner was lovely. Working on booking our stay for next year!

A great family vacation rental
The house was clean and a convenient walk to the beach. Everything that we needed (especially for kids) was ready for us when we got there. On top of that, the gated community has two pools, sidewalks and has a back entrance/exit to zip out to local restaurants and grocery stores. Additionally, we coordinated a few baby/toddler items through Babyquip and Darlene was more than willing to meet the Babyquip representative and have everything set up for us when we got there. This made our afternoon arrival perfect so the little ones had a place to eat and sleep when we got there. Book this house, you won't regret it!
