“Nice Building with flaws”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2007
5
people found this review helpful

The building itself was very nice. Parking was plentiful, even though it wasn't covered. The parking lot and building entrances had a punch code system that is harder to use than it should be. Each apartment runs from the beach view to an open hallway that has views of the bay. Two families can occupy a two-bedroom apartment, but the ocean-front master bedroom has a balcony that is also accessible to the living room. This means that the parties in that bedroom cannot leave the drapes open while they are dressing or sleeping. The kitcken and living rooms are spacious. Supplies were scare in our condo. The master bathroom had two bath towels supplied and no blankets and the second bedroom had three towels. The wash clothes were discolored and stiff. Suggest you bring all toilet paper, soap, etc, because there was none there. When we wanted to sweep the floor, there was no dustpan or any cleaning supplies. The floor was not cleaned around the toilet and there were hairs on the towels. The washer dryer worked fine, but the closet louvered doors were broken. The bathtub was shorter than average. You could not straighten your legs even when sitting upright.
On the plus side, the beach and swiming pool were kept clean and well cared for. No litter found on the beach. Beach chairs and umbrellas are outrageously expensive. Every room had a woring television set, and all the kitchen appliance were in working order.

Stayed August 2007

“Nice resort but poor managament company”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 August 2007
5
people found this review helpful

Booked stay through Portofino Management Company. Room listed as sleeping ten, but only had room for eight comfortably. The check-in procedures were very uncoordinated and required phone calls at gate to resolve. Trying to get an additional parking pass at the resort required going through a maze of phone calls to different numbers (none having access to my reservation). The lack of reservation confirmation by email and additional deposits made against my credit card (without notice) were frustrating. The resort and room itself was very nice and had a great view. Would recommend the resort, but cannot recommend the managament company.

“Beautiful View!”

The room was absolutely beautiful! And the view . . . we could see the stingrays swimming along the shore from 16 stories high. The master bedroom had a sliding door that opened to the ocean. Planning to book again this June.

“Location, location, location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 August 2003

Emerald Isle is an upscale hi-rise condo building located right on the beach (about 100 yds. from water's edge) and about 1/2 mile from the center of Pensacola Beach commerce (Boardwalk). It has two pools and a jacuzzi in the rear of the building and a small, serviceable workout room with an older universal unit, a treadmill and a stairmaster with a TV to watch while exercising. The unit four of us stayed in was tasetfully decorated and furnished with a large balconey overlooking the Gulf and the pool. Since we were on the 6th floor it could be a bit loud up with young children's typical noisemaking until about 10:30 PM. There seemed to be quite a lot of people traffic on the beach until the wee hours so the teenage social scene seemed to be in full swing on the dark beach. All in all the stay was very enjoyable and I would gladly return. RMI Real Estate was also pretty accomodating and helpful. They're web-site is helpful and easy to navigate. Pensacola Beach is a young, energetic mostly southern vacation spot with friendly locals and active vacationers. The huge US Navy presence is not overpowering and, in fact, is barely noticeable. All encounters with any Navy personnel were met with pleasant politeness.
