The emerald green waters and sugar white sand in Destin were once Florida’s best kept secret.  The amount of national coverage our area has seen is evident in the appreciation we’ve witnessed in the local real estate market.  When compared to other beachfront communities across the US, it’s no wonder why so many are jumping on the opportunity to own a piece of paradise at a steal.  While most will agree that Destin is home to the most beautiful beaches in Florida, many would also argue that our beaches are the most spectacular in the United States.  Tripadvisor.com recently named Destin as #3 in their Travelors’ Choice 2013 10 Destinations on the Rise.  Seems they would agree with us!  The Gulf Coast is the place to be.
