My wife, Catherine, and I met at, of all places, Spinnakers in Panama City in 1979 while I was at the University of Arkansas and she was at Jacksonville State in Alabama. After a couple of years of long distance dating and high phone bills I moved to the Atlanta area (Smyrna) where we were married in 1982 and still reside. We have two children. A son Charles and daughter Nikki. We all enjoy the Sandestin community and the access to all that is there. We appreciate your visit to the Condo site and hope that you choose our little piece of 'Serenity by the Sea' for your next vacation.

Thank you,

Corkey, Catherine, Charles & Nikki Welch

Charles A. Welch (Corkey) purchased this townhome in 2002

Catherine and I were already familiar with the Sandestin community before we purchased our property. We had previously owned a property in Seascape a mile or so west and had visited friends and family for several years prior to our purchase. When we finally decided to purchase, we call Sandestin real estate. Brad Smith, our agent, faxed us a listing of properties meeting our description, we flew to Destin and, after viewing the first property, made an offer to purchase. The offer was accepted and we have never regretted the purchase.

The Sandestin community offers so much to do and see that we seldom have to leave the complex. One added benefit is accessibility of everything by golf cart. We simply pack what we need in the cart and go everywhere including the grocery store. It is so simple and relaxed to just cruise the resort at a slower pace. It always makes me feel like I'm on vacation, which I am.
