You can catch the trolley across from the Emerald for a fun day of sightseeing. If you are going on a cruise we are 2.1 miles from the cruise ports.

Enjoy sitting on the balcony in the early mornings with coffee, mimosas or bloody Marys and evenings having a cocktail or glass of wine overlooking the beautiful pool and Gulf while watching the pelicans as they travel back to Pelican Island.
