This was a very clean condo and the beds were so very comfortable! Nice having a washing machine and dryer and the laundry room was so pretty. Lots of high tech devices but wish there were instructions for how to work the tv.
We enjoyed our stayed and would certainly recommend this condo. Would recommend the couch be replaced soon and also it would be nice to have a broom and dust pan handy to sweep up sand but overall great condo.

We stayed for over a week and loved it although the weather was colder than we had hoped for. Loved that we could watch both the sunrise and sunsets from the balcony! Really enjoyed some of the higher end touches in the master ensuite and wished that I could bring that closet home with me. We watched dolphins and pelicans in the gulf and were able to walk on the beach a couple of times which was right across the street very easy access. Plenty of restaurants to eat at with a good variety of foods close by. A 25 minute drive to the Naval Air Museum on the NAS base which was free and really cool to go to. The main thing that we did was RELAX! There were even card games/dominos in the unit that we could play. Felt safe and secure in the gated community and even had our own reserved parking space so parking wasn't a hassle. We had a great stay!

Our stay at Esmerald Dolphin 1520 was truly wonderful! The breathtaking view alone makes this place special, offering a perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway. The blend of late '90s décor with sleek, modern 2025 touches creates a unique and stylish atmosphere, making it feel both nostalgic and contemporary. Some of the tech devices in the unit were a great bonus, adding to the comfort and convenience of our stay.
The location is unbeatable—just steps from the beach, with a 24/7 market and a fantastic restaurant right next door, making everything easily accessible. Overall, Esmerald Dolphin 1520 is a fantastic stay, and with a few minor upgrades, it would be absolutely perfect. We’d definitely return!

Fabulous family getaway!
We love the Santa Rosa Island and this condo was perfect location! Clean, beautiful, updated accomodations. Clean furniture and new appliances. We spent a lot of time on balcony and the outdoor furniture was very comfortable. The washer/dryer worked great and let us head home with clean clothes. Only thing that didn't work well for us was the kitchen supplies. There were no cereals size bowls, nor any mixing bowls. We cooked breakfast every morning and found we could have used those items. One patio door didn't lock but we didn't feel this was an issue as we were on the 15th floor. There are only 3 bar stools for eating and no kitchen table. We made do fine since there were only 3 of us. The views are amazing, and even in a rain storm, you couldn't hear what was outside. Very soundproof unit. Entire facility was clean, and neighbors friendly! We appreciated the gated aspect of the property and found it easy to use all codes. Communication between the property owner/manager and our family was easy to follow and precise. Highly recommend this unit!!
