We, along with our newly extended family, rented Golden Sands Emerald and its neighboring property, Golden Sands Pearl, for a week-long "family union".

We had a fabulous stay. Everything was well represented in the marketing. The properties were just as they appeared in the photos/videos. (We have been to properties where that is not the case, where the photos appeared much nicer that the actual property). We appreciated the professionalism and promptness from Daniel and his staff. From our first inquiry, throughout booking and before/during/after our stay, we were well-informed and any questions or concerns were well-handled. We appreciated the "check-ins" from Zach throughout our stay.

The combined private beaches were perfect for our daughter's and new son-in-law's vow exchange ceremony. The spacious grounds, pools and tennis court (not to mention the large kitchens) allowed us to enjoy many large group meals, cook-outs, team games and bonding activities, not to mention plenty of opportunity for relaxing. The house is nicely decorated, well stocked (fully equipped kitchens, baths, laundry, beach towels, chairs, toys, cleaning supplies, etc), everything is in great condition.

The properties are conveniently located. Lots of shopping, great restaurants, beaches, and attractions nearby. Close enough to Orlando for day trips. Some of our group visited Disney World and/or Universal Studios, some of us were able to volunteer at Give Kids the World Resort. We had planned several outings in the area, but didn't actually do many because we enjoyed our time at the property too much to bother. Some of us have been to Cocoa and Daytona Beaches, Kennedy Space Center, and Merritt Island Refuge on previous visits to the area. They are great activities, but it was too difficult to tear ourselves away from the private beach and amazing pools/hot tubs. I guess we will have to come back to enjoy all of what Golden Sands and the surrounding areas have to offer.
