opinions please which - cassine station or Emerald Hill?

They're both nice, each with plusses and minuses. Cassine Station is really cool looking and the balconies are large and private. The "martini deck" has fabulous views of the gulf. It's new so everything is totally up-to-date. On the minus side, you have to cross the street (though the beach access is directly across the street and easy as pie to get to). Emerald Hill is beach side and if you get one of the units that's beach front and on the ground floor, you'll have a nice grassy area to spread out on. On the other hand, it's an older condominium so some of the units might not be as renovated as you'd like. Emerald Hill is a bit closer to Seaside.

This is probably a little biased since I've never stayed in Emerald Hill -- but I absolutely love Cassine Station. The one big disadvantage from Emerald Hill is that it is not gulf front -- about 100 yards to the beach. Besides that -- Cassine Station is a new complex with stylish rentals and a convenient elevator. Access to two pools in the Cassine Village neighborhood. If you are interested in rentals in Cassine Station, here are a couple of referrals:

LeBoeuf, you must be confusing Emerald Hill with something else of the same name. Here it is:


You know Bonnie Henry? She's a very nice woman. :clap:

Right location -- poor sentence structure!

Bonnie's great! I was one of her first renters at Cassine Station. Her 3 bdrm/ 2 bth condo is my "home away from home"!

Emerald Hill may be an older complex, but most of the units have been renovated. Go to www.seagrovebeach.com and get actual virtual tours of the individual units. Also, online booking on this website so you can see what is available there. Emerald Hill is centrally located, has a nice pool and a beautiful beach access with shower to rinse off. Cassine Station is beautiful, however, if it were me, I wouldn't want to cross the street there...it's a very busy 2 lane road.

Thanks we've decided on Emerald Hill and found a nice condo from the site you posted. It looks updated to me even though it may not have the newer more popular kitchen counters, appliances, etc.. as long as it's clean we're good.
