Area Information

The Destin area is characterized by sugar-white beaches and emerald green waters. The Travel Channel has awarded Destin with a top five finish in the USA's best vacation destination, and in 2001, USA Today readers voted Destin the country's #1 beach. Numerous magazines have listed the area as a relocation destination as being in the top 20 in the country.

While the Destin and the South Walton areas boast a wonderful small-town feel defined by great hospitality and neighborly warmth, the area lays claim to being the most progressive in NW Florida. An area population of around 40,000 is offset by an incredible level of new business, including The Destin Commons and the soon to open Grand Boulevard in Sandestin. Additionally, the area holds on strongly to its stalwart belief in providing dozens of freely accessible parks and beach access points to its citizens and visitors.
The economy here is little affected by national downturns and continues to thrive in the face of recent national events. One visit with Ginger and her eager staff, and you'll be thrilled and excited at the prospect of relocation or vacation-home ownership!
