Guest comments:
The house is beautiful and in great location for beach access. We shared the house with another family and it was spacious enough that we all had our private space and plenty of room for 3 teenagers. The house had everything we needed from dishes to beach chairs. The community pool is very handy and a great break from the sand and saltwater. Denise was so helpful with our question prior to our arrival and gave us a great list of helpful tips for restaurants and road trips. The neighbors in the area were most friendly and made us feel very welcome. We all had an awesome time and can’t wait for our next trip. Kim Brakefield , Duncan, OK
Your home is very roomy and close to the beach. The neighbors are very polite. We thoroughly enjoyed the use of your kitchen and also the fine restaurants around Destin. Our girls, 15 and 12, enjoyed eating at Fudpuckers and the many shopping outlets. Thanks again for the use of your lovely home, pool, and comfortable atmosphere.

Why the Owner Chose Avalon Beach Estates
The beauty of the area first drew us to the Panhandle along with the many amenities. The magnificent beaches, the emerald green of the Gulf, fantastic golfing, shopping, art and culture meant that there were activities for every member of the family to enjoy. The diversity of the area is unparalleled along with the friendliness of the local population.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The splendor of the beaches ever changing colors brings a calm to one's spirit. Our subdivision's private beach is another special amenity. The boardwalk, which fronts the subdivision runs along the Gulf for miles providing the perfect path for walking and jogging. Shopping at the designer outlet stores, Destin Commons, Sandestin and the upscale shops on 98 are a favorite pastime along with visiting antique and quality consignment stores. Golfing at more than 10 neighborhood courses (ranging from championship to a 9 hole short course) offers duffers a great deal of choice. Five great restaurants (3 located on the beach) are within walking distance. Amusement parks for the children are close and if needed, medical care is just a few miles away.
Owner's Map of Avalon Beach Estates
Our family discovered the Emerald Coast more than 20 years ago. We returned every year until finally deciding to build. We have enjoyed seeing the quality developments built in the region and appreciate the care that has been taken to preserve the natural areas. The mild temperatures of the Panhandle and the "seasons" in this part of Florida set it apart from lower Florida. The rich history of the area and the wonderful vacation features make the Destin area a unique family vacation spot.

You have a beautiful home, of which we are very jealous, and we thank you for the opportunity to stay here. Your neighbors were very nice, as is the whole neighborhood. We took advantage of the pool a few times and wish we could move it up north. Thanks again for the use of your beautiful home. Amy and John Drees Harrison, OH
