If you are looking to go on vacation in Destin, FL be sure to stay at the Emerald Grande at the Harborwalk Village! They make #EmeraldCoasting on your vacation super easy. This past weekend I was lucky enough to go on a trip with a few of my blogger friends to stay in Destin and experience a few of the wonderful vacation spots all of you may want to check out.

We stayed in the Emerald Grande Hotel just over the bridge when you are entering into Destin from the west. I had my GPS turned on but, let me tell you I had no problems spotting the hotel!

Emerald Grande at Harborwalk Village Destin FL

The kitchen in our hotel room was a wonderful gourmet kitchen stocked with all the kitchen utensils you would need to prepare a wonderful dinner to entertain friend and family. Along with full size stainless steel appliances and granite counter-tops.

Each unit has private balconies. Our unit actually had two private balconies! One off the living room and the other off one of the bedrooms. The unit we were in had three absolutely gorgeous bedrooms. The beds are plush beds, none of us complained about not like our beds! I was so tired each day from our outings {which I will share more about soon}, I slept cozy comfortable each night.

We had no shortage of restrooms either!! Our unit had 3 full bathrooms plus a clothes washer and dryer.

I mean, who would not want to wake up to these views each morning!!!Emerald Grande at Harborwalk Village Destin FL ~ Easy Emerald Coasting Vacation

They also offer a free beach chair service and boat shuttle to your own secluded beach! We had the pleasure of going in the morning and it was wonderful! They day we went the weather was not exactly the best but, we still had a great time and made the best of our trip!

Inside the hotel you can also enjoy a full service European spa and fitness center, indoor and outdoor heated pools and jacuzzis, a Gift Shop that provides a wide range of items to help make your stay more enjoyable, and a business center on the Grande Vista level. 

If you get hungry order room service for breakfast, lunch and/or dinner or visit the Grande Vista Bar and Grill. If you feel like going a little more casual upscale head over to have a little coastal dining at “10″ on the Harbor. 
If none of those are what you are looking for there are dozens of dining, shopping and entertainment options to please everyone right around the hotel.

    I like the bathroom in that room, especially the bath tub. A lot of hotels really drop the ball in that area, but a nice tub makes a room so much more luxurious.
