Our experience at The Emerald Crab was perfect. We loved the beautiful view of the ocean, the cleanliness, the well stocked kitchen & comfortable bedrooms. We had easy access to the pool & beach. We were blessed with great weather during our stay & we even got to see the dolphins. Our condo came with two umbrellas & 4 chairs, making it pleasant to spend the day at the beach. I highly recommend this condo. Aaron from EastPass Rental made everything easy.

Spacious and gorgeous view!

We had 9 people stay for a week and it was perfect! The condo is actually much bigger than it appears in the pictures. All the beds were comfortable and the bathrooms very spacious. We loved having the pool, lazy River and the beach at our fingertips. The view from the porch is beautiful and probably the best on Okaloosa island to view the fireworks show. We had a fabulous vacation! Thanks to Aaron for all the quick replies to our questions and assistance when we needed it.

We travel for work throughout the year (approximately 25 weeks) and stay at VRBOs routinely. This was one of the best places we have been so far!!! The unit was beautiful (better than the photo's).
