About the host
Hosted by Nall Gearheard
Husband to a lovely and patient wife, with whom we've had three beautiful children - two wonderful boys and one very special daughter with Down Syndrome. Our family lives in Atlanta, but we are originally from Louisiana. We love the beach, and love this part of Florida, where we vacationed often as kids, long before high rises and rampant growth. Back then there was no "30A", no resorts, very few homes, no traffic jams or hours long waits at the grocery or restaurants. We thought those days were long gone, until we discoverd Cape San Blas and the Forgotten Coast.
The Crescent Pearl gained its name for two reasons - our ties to New Orleans, the Crescent City, and this gem of a home in an area known for its oysters, hence, the Crescent Pearl. We are very lucky indeed to have found this wonderful home.
Why they chose this property
The quality of this home and the setting are unique, truly a luxury home in an incredible setting. Standing among loblolly pines, the Crescent Palms offers views of the emerald green waters and white sandy beaches of the Gulf of Mexico through the highest branches of the adjacent pines. Breathtaking is not sufficient; it is a truly unique and remarkable setting for a beach home.
And the house was spectacular, a gem that needed a little polishing to regain its former glory. Having spent my youth working in construction, later becoming a real estate investor, including a 150 year old home in New Orleans' Uptown district, I am familiar with buildings and their construction. The Crescent Palms is well-built, contructed with the excellent materials, finely crafted with attention to detail. This is a superb beach home. From the high ceillings, tavetiine floors, quality windows and doors, transom windows, solid hardwood doors, and vintage glass doorknobs, the materials are substantial and fine quality.
As we came to experience life at Crescent Palms, we realized how truly fortunate we were. The setting is exceptional, and the pace and ambience of the area truly special. It is Florida of long ago, uncrowded, peaceful, awash in natural beauty. Mostly it is the people - friendly, quick to smile, happy to help, relaxed and warm. There aren't many places like it. I hope you find what we have here.
What makes this property unique
The Crescent Pearl is just steps to one of the most pristine beaches in North America. The beaches of Cape San Blas are never crowded, the sand white and fluffy, and the water is generally emerald green. The climate is wonderful, and so is the food, and the people. We think you will absolutely love the Cape and the Pearl!
