Emerald Grande Condo: Beach, Marina & Ocean View

Reviews

• Great location, ok unit

  3/5

  Absolutely would stay at the Emerald Grande again, but would stay in another unit. It was fine, but know it is not perfect. Upon check in the master bedroom was locked so we had to be let in by maintenance. Not a big deal, but after a long day of travel it was a slight inconvenience. The cleanliness of the unit was disappointing and required us to clean the fridge due to food crumbs and spills left in the fridge along with the countertops and floor. The property manager was very apologetic and explained the visitors prior to us left a huge mess. Understandable, but still another inconvenience. Items were left from previous guests in the freezer and in the master bathroom. The faucet on the bar sink was busted along with several door handles. The bunk room had can tabs stuck in the rug and braces rubberbands on the floor. Paint and a few other updates would go a long way in this unit. Unit overlooked the parking lot with limited views of the ocean. I was aware of this prior to booking and was worried about noise from the parking lot and boardwalk, but it was not an issue at all. There were never any disturbances throughout our stay. If I were to stay again, I would look at other more updated units. On a positive note, the unit manager was very prompt in communication.

• Almost a great stay

  Emerald Grand is a nice place to stay but unfortunately, our personal unit was not good. The unit was dirty and our feet got black just walking through it barefoot. After we checked in, the maid was still in our unit cleaning when we walked in the room. She said she had problems with the washer and it was making her behind on finishing but she said all she had left to do was mop the master bedroom. She wouldn't stop talking and just do her job so we finally told her to go and not worry about mopping the master bedroom. We wanted to relax, not listen to her complain. She certainly had more left to do than what she said because the shower had black hair all over the walls and the counters looked unclean. The beds were nice and comfy, but the frame of the bed has a weird design and it sticks out, making it easy to trip over. My spouse stubbed his toe on the bed frame so bad it tore half of his toenail off and he was bleeding and screaming in pain. The toilet in one of the bathrooms had a broken seat and moved if you tried to sit on it.

  Manager's Response:

  From the Owner: "Thank you for your feedback. I'm very sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations.
  
  On the day of your arrival, our previous guests checked out later than scheduled, which left our cleaning team with limited time to prepare the unit. While our cleaner was still finishing up, we understand you preferred privacy and asked her to leave early. Unfortunately, this meant that some areas, such as mopping and final touch-ups, were not completed, and we sincerely apologize for that.
  
  We do thoroughly wash all linens and towels with our in-unit washer, and we take cleanliness seriously. I’ve followed up with our team to ensure this situation does not happen again.
  
  Regarding the toilet seat, it was not broken but had a loose screw, which has since been tightened. As for the bed frame, it is a standard design without sharp edges, but we’ll take a closer look to ensure it’s as safe and guest-friendly as possible. We’re truly sorry to hear about your spouse’s injury and hope they are recovering well.
  
  We appreciate your comments, as they help us improve the experience for all future guests. Best regards."

  We love staying at this property. It’s the second time we stayed there and enjoy the location. Everything on the boardwalk is within walking distance. Restaurants, bars and shops are all right there.

  This property was exactly as described...EXCELLENT! The host responded promptly to any questions I had. And the location was exactly where we wanted to be on The Boardwalk. I would recommend this property to any family on vacation, you will not be disappointed.
