    "Emerald Isle, and particularly Lands End gated community is a friendly place for families, singles, young marrieds, and retirees. We have a very active social committee that plans and presents over the top events, great security, etc. Every street has it's own charm...no need to live on the beach to enjoy it with our beachfront pool, clubhouse, overlook, and access!"
