Relaxing Beach Getaway

Property was recently updated before our arrival. It was beautiful with a modern beach vibe. The condos location was perfect conveniently located on the second floor near the stairwell right down to the beach. The beach was beautiful with turquoise water, white sand and the two provided chairs and umbrella were an awesome bonus. We will definitely be back. The only thing the condo needed was a few more curtain panels in the bedroom window because it faces the inside of the resort and has bright hallway lights that never shut off so it makes it seem like daytime in the room at night.

PCB - Spring Vaca

This rental was nicely located within walking distance to many places. It was nice to not have to wait for elevators since they were not all operational. A short flight of stairs away from the parking or beach. Overall our Spring Getaway stay at the Kokomo was the relaxing getaway that we needed. Thank you for the updated space to call home for a week!

Walked Right In

Our first night was interrupted by an intruder around 10:00pm. We were asleep and we heard the door opening. I shouted and they left. I phoned the owner and he said it was probably the cleaning crew. Very unnerving. The property is very confusing. I think the two buildings were built at different times and the floors don’t line up.

Good for the money

The condo is ok. It’s outdated and needs some repairs. The bed is comfortable and is a king size. The elevators in the building are terrible. You will be waiting forever to get to the beach and to the parking garage. For the money I would say it’s good.

Great stay!

My sister and I stayed here while we attended a wedding in PCB. The Wyndham is SO nice. The unit is close to the end, so I felt like we had a good bit of beach privacy, which is rare for this area! The view is gorgeous. It's on the second floor but not close to the pool, so it's quiet. It is close to the elevator, but we had no noise problems at all. They have a huge TV. The bed was comfortable (even the twin bunks were very soft). Checking in, checking out, and getting the beach rental chairs that come with the condo were all super easy. Very responsive hosts! We wanted to stay longer. It was great for the two of us. It would be the perfect stay for a family with two small children.

Nice enough

The Good: Very clean, location was good, comfortable bedding and very nice water pressure (often overlooked in rentals), stocked with essentials. The Bad: The listing clearly states 4 beach chairs (as does the book inside the condo), but in fact, only 2 chairs are included. The beach attendant told us they have had to tell many people this summer that only 2 chairs are included. The wifi network and code provided in the email were incorrect. The proper code is in the book on the counter. The front door has a very flimsy deadbolt and won't shut unless locked. Communication was poor - sent 3 emails and made 2 calls to vrbo before receiving a response from the owner.

Convenient location

We had a nice week at the beach. Enjoyed the condo being on the 2nd floor to utilize stairs. I do think the price was high for the quality of the condo. The bathroom was less than desirable. Dirty & mold on walls and shower curtain. For my money spent I expected more. Communication was good and timely.

Nice clean place

The stay was great. The 2nd floor was so close to the beach front and enjoyed the views. The only thing about it was the 2 set of elevators are located right outside door. So a lot of noise. Just bring a box fan. Very clean and comfortable for the 4 of us.

Comfortable and beautiful location

This property is just as shown. The decor is lovely and relaxed, and the place is extremely clean and sanitary. The queen bed is super comfortable with comfy pillows. We didn't use the other beds, but the balcony gives a beautiful view of the beach and you can hear the waves and have coffee outside. It is 3 minute walk to a beach bar with good food, and there is pizza, steamed seafood, etc. essentially across the street. The pool and hot-tub were very nice. There are attached facilities across the street by the parking to which you have access. Those are even bigger pools and a nice (small but nice) fitness room with cardio and weights. We appreciated the included chairs and umbrella at the beach and the proximity with beautiful views of the water! It is about a mile walk to Pier Park down the beach (you need moneyt to go on the Pier so bring some) with other eateries along the way. This is a very nice location with no large hotels immediately next door on either side. It is further from Pier Park but the is a large shop right across the street with any beach gear you forgot. The owners had good communication, check in and parking was no problem. Kitchen has Keurig and basics for cooking. Would definitely stay again!

Spring Break week

We made a last minute booking for this unit for Spring Break week. We were very happy with this unit. Check in and out was a breeze. Unit was clean and well maintained. Bed was comfortable. Unit had all the basic supplies. I even saw an instapot if you're so inclined. Location of the unit was perfect. Close to elevators and beach access. But you don't hear elevator or people noise. The condo complex has a bunch of amenities..an onsite bar, ice cream shop with burgers, a starbucks, several pools, and poolside games. This rental cane with beach service and that was also super easy and convenient. This is our 2nd time to stay at Emerald beach but I'll definitely try to stay in this unit next time. Would definitely recommend.

Very Nice Condo!

This condo was very nice and very clean! The bed was super comfy and towels were soft. It was located about 10 steps from the elevator so quick and easy to get to. We only were there for 4 days so ate out for everything except breakfast which was cereal. There are several restaurants within walking distance. Unfortunately the weather was not the best (it was cold) during our stay so did not try out the pool, but it looked very inviting. We would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Ed Rickers (owner), Yulia Rickers (Manager)

Ed & Celeste Rickers
We've been married 32 years and have five children, and 5 grandchildren and we're still honeymooning:-)!!! Trips to the beach are definitely part of our 'magic.'

Ed's mother moved 35 miles north of here around 1994 so our five children grew up coming to PCB and Shell Island for family vacations. We absolutely LOVE it here and love sharing the experience with others.

We purchased a one-bedroom condo in 2009 for Ed's father to spend the winters and for our vacations, and for sharing too. We now have more than 220 reviews in our four condos with a 4.8-star average in each condo.

We added a two-bedroom in 2015, vrbo.com/815352. We have more than 88 reviews with a 4.8-star average. We added a four-bedroom condo in 2018, vrbo.com/1328254 and we have 57 reviews with a 4.8-star average.

Yulia is our daughter-in-law. She immigrated from Ukraine in 2008 and married our son Spencer in 2016 and they a four-year-old son and a newborn son (April 29, 2021). They currently live in Meas, AZ where Spencer is attending his fourth year of dental school. They've been to the condo many times and love the beach.

What makes this Condo unique?
We offer our causal beachy no-rules vibe with quality and elegance combined with personalized service because we love it when people care enough about themselves and their loved ones to enjoy a beach vacation and enrich their lives with what we call "vitamin sea."

Why they chose this property

We like Emerald Beach managed by Wyndham International. They do a great job managing the resort and provide service that's second to none.

What makes this property unique

You get to work with Yulia, our daughter-in-law. Yulia is an immigrant from Ukraine. She put herself through college in a foreign land and our son was so lucky to meet and marry her. Yulia goes the extra mile because she LOVES making your family trip successful. She LOVES getting to know our guests and she often does extra things for birthdays, anniversaries, etc. She's wonderful and you'll love her and come back again and again like sooo many of our other regular guests.

For instance, here's the latest review (May 2022):

Emery Caroline L.Birmingham
Wow, where to even begin! I traveled here with three of my friends to celebrate graduating college. Knowing this, Ed and Yulia left us a very thoughtful graduation gift, complete with a balloon and card! This was just the icing on the cake of a wonderful stay. Unloading and parking was very easy, and the resort staff was friendly and helpful. The building is very clean and we had no issues with elevators being slow. The beach was so accessible and the chairs and umbrellas were an amazing part of our stay. The condo itself is GORGEOUS. Seriously, we felt so pampered. Everything was super clean and homey, and the decor was delightfully beachy. The view from the balcony is incredible!!! The weather was perfect too which just added to the stay. From start to finish, our trip was so easy. After seven hours of driving the smooth check in process and stay was much appreciated. Would love to come back as a reunion!
