We had a great vacation at Emerald Shores! The home was as advertised. We had a total of 18 guests in our party so we had a lot of people to accommodate. The house and guest house were exactly what we needed. The location of the house in chalk sound was perfect for what we wanted. It was secluded and safe. The home does need some updating but it did make it easier to enjoy ourselves without feeling like we needed to be on top of children to make sure things were kept up. I imagine the ocean and saltwater makes it harder for upkeep at times. We had an issue with a room ac unit but Georgette and maintenance was there to fix the problem. Not having central ac in the main living area was not ideal but the upstairs balcony was a cool respite with the wind coming off the sound! The water and dock were perfect for snorkeling and kayaking in the sound. It is quiet and relaxing! Georgette and the crew were accommodating to our needs to bring the twin beds together before our arrival. It is a beautiful location and it met the needs of our family and friends. Georgette and the maintenance crew were all wonderful to work with. Thank you for having our family and friends!

Enjoyed the sound and property location

We had a wonderful stay at Emerald Estates Villa for the holidays. It is a spacious house with amazing views and easy access to Chalk Sound for swimming and kayaking. Just a short drive/walk and you can access Taylor beach for white sands and calm waters. We were grateful to our concierge Georgette for arranging a special Xmas dinner for the 9 of us at Marine Room restaurant and a fabulous snorkeling trip with TCI Adventures. Highly recommend.

Views were amazing and the home was very clean. Response of staff was typically very quick when we reached out. Our only issue was the cockroach and ant issue. They did come out and spray and lay ant traps which helped but the roach problem was an issue. We kept all food in the fridge or on top of it and kept our clothes in our luggage to help with the issue. Other than that the walk to the beach was short and easy Taylor Bay beach was one of the best we visited it was great for sun rise and sunsets were even better.The staff was easy to work with and responsive.
