Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2004
I'm a "Southern Girl, born in East Tennessee and then migrated to Dallas, where I was part of a global corporation for the majority of my career. Recently, I've migrated to the consulting world, where I can use my years of communications experience to help other organizations. When I "get away," I've always preferred the Beaches of South Walton in the Panhandle. The stress just melts away. As you will see, I've created a relaxing experience inside my condo with the hope that your cares will evaporate during your time "at the beach" also.
Why the Owner Chose Village of South Walton
In traveling the world, I can find no more gorgeous beaches than on the unique 17-mile stretch of Scenic 30A in the Panhandle's South Walton County. So, when I had a choice of where to spend beach time with friends and family, Seacrest Beach along Scenic 30A was the easy choice. This unique area of the U.S. can best be described as "Laid-back, upscale Florida living meets 'Andy of Mayberry.'"
Because I love the area so much....and want others to also....you will find that I will be very helpful and personally "hands on" to answer questions, provide information and ensure your experience in the South Walton County beach area is as perfect as possible.
The Unique Benefits of this "Beach Combin'" Condominium
LOADS of books stashed in all corners. Extra-comfy, high-quality bed. Upscale, but fun and whimsical beach decor specially selected to ensure a relaxing experience for guests. Even though beach and pool are just a 3-4 minute walk,... there is a Free tram exclusively for this property...runs every 20 minutes in season...especially helpful for guests carrying lots of beach or pool "stuff."

Spring Break 2009 MDS-CNS Dallas, TX, USA Review Submitted: April 7, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009 We stayed at this property March 14-22 and had a wonderful time! The condo is equipped with everything you could possibly need. We were pleasantly surprised to find a blender in the kitchenette (to mix up some frozen drinks), as well as a DVD player in the living room area for those relaxing late nights (there are a couple of video rental stores right down the road). The complex is beautiful and within driving distance of many attractions. We visited Seaside and Panama City and even did some shopping at the huge outlet mall! The beach is incredible - the white sand is so pretty, but not hot at all, which was very nice. The water is a gorgeous mixture of turquoise colors and perfectly clear. It seems to be a very friendly atmosphere and we felt very safe and comfortable walking all around. I would highly recommend this as a great vacation destination!

A cozy place for a great vacation! harried business owner Peoria, Illinois Review Submitted: April 6, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008 I enjoyed a wonderful 3-month stay here! Although I initially had reservations about whether a studio condo would have sufficient space for such a long stay, I found it to be very comfortable. The mini-kitchen was well-equipped with dishes and utensils, and the assortment of books and games available to use was a great surprise. The location is ideal...just a short walk to either Rosemary Beach or Alys Beach, and the interactive fountain and 2 pools were a nice asset. The condo was very clean and the owner seemed genuinely interested in making sure that my stay was satisfactory. It was a great 3 month stay, and I hope I have a chance to return again sometime in the future. Recommended for: Sightseeing, Pet-friendly, Girls Getaway, Age 55+, Families with Young Children

Nancy and Emerald Sun were wonderful to work with! And, it was a perfect place to be after a stressful time at the office. The room was exactly like it is pictured--with games, books, and even a dvd player and stereo. The weather was perfect, and the grounds were gorgeous. My two small cocker spaniels loved the bike trails and walking around town. There was even a watering pail for them at the local Starbucks! I was able to use the little kitchen to cook several meals, and there were some great restaurants close by for special nights out! The big pool was FANTASTIC--in some ways I even preferred it to the beach! Palm trees and cabana bathrooms with showers included! (One suggestion for the future--there was no map in the welcome book. Maybe something that tells where the nearest grocery, post office, drug store, or other useful locations are?) Overall, thank you so much for a wonderful vacation! I will be back!

Hi Nancy. We're home from a wonderful trip!! We really enjoyed your condo. What a great beach. We loved everything. It was just as you described it. We found a restaurant that we must recommend - it's in Panama City Beach. It's called Barnacle Bruce's. A total dive - but great food. Apparently it's where the guys that work on the fishing boats eat.

Hi Nancy, I just came back from Mexico. It has been a busy summer for me! We had a wonderful week in Florida. My whole family loved your place, not only was it comfortable, but it also made us come closer as a family. We enjoyed many hours together watching T.V and playing games, as well as eating! Our vacation was a wonderful experience, we enjoyed the beach and both swimming pools at The Village. Everything was like we expected and had lots of fun!!! Thank you for sharing this "little piece of heaven" with us. Mayra

Dear Nancy, Spent a wonderful 4 days here at your lovely condominium during my family reunion in Sunnyside. Will be back next year, but will have my family and me. The bed was wonderfully comfortable. Love the ambiance of the condo. Loved all your books and hope to come back at a later time.

Got back from my girls trip on Sunday. Just wanted you to know that we had a GREAT time. The unit was just the right size and located in a wonderful spot. The pool was amazing and the weather was perfect. We had to call Emerald Sun when we first arrived because the air wasn't working, but they were right on it and we went ahead to the grocery store and got something to eat and returned to a cool, comfortable room. The kiosks out front were good and we purchased a few things from them. Really enjoyed Rosemary Beach shopping area. I didn't find your list of suggestions about the air, tram, etc. until Wednesday. It might be good to put that in the three ring binder left on the kitchen table. Took your advice and ate at Shades. It was wonderful. We also drove into Panama City Beach area to eat at Bayou Bills. We had always eaten at the one on 98 and since it burned we drove on in to eat at the other location. Went to Pier Park too, and it was great. Of course, I can't skip eating at Red Bar and my friends loved the eclectic flavor and ambiance. My friends said the sofa sleeper was the most comfortable they had ever slept on. Chops was open. We just opted for more seafood places. Starbucks in Rosemary Beach was open. Also, let me say how helpful Emerald Sun was. From the air conditioning to sending extra towels for us girls who use two towels each hair and body they were very prompt and generous. We also picked up a map of the South walton area from some store that had a map with points of interest like restaurants, stores, etc. indicated with numbered dots and a key which was VERY helpful. I kept it because we'll be returning at the end of the month for a family vacation. It was a Beaches of South walton Visitor's Map. If I didn't tell you before the list of restaurants with dollar symbols for prices and the phone numbers was also a great help. Thanks again and I'm going to put a really good review on your web site. I know reading those reviews helps me make decisions on which VRBO rental to choose. Thanks again and I hope I get to do a girls trip next year. If so, I'll be in touch. Have a great summer. Marcia

Nancy, I read through your guests' comments and have to say --- the bed was SO comfortable, we pulled back the sheets to find out the style and maker! Frank and I are used to a King and we had four great nights of sleep. It worked out great for a romantic getaway for two. We enjoyed long walks on the beach, terific meals at the Tommy Bahama Cafe, the Broken Egg Cafe...and appreciated your recommendation of Onano. We didn't make it there for brunch, but we had a terrific lunch there. Thank you for sharing your lovely condo!
