About the host
Hosted by Rosemary
My family has been coming to Destin since 2005, and everytime we visited prior to acquiring this property, we would stay at one of the condos. We loved Destin so much that we decided it was time to invest in a property of our own, so in 2010, we bought The Sand Castle. One of the best parts of this home is definitely the location. It is so close to the beach, where the water is blue and the sand is like sugar. It has the largest designer outlet mall right down the road, restaurants that are absolutely exquisite, and amusements for the whole family to enjoy.
Why they chose this property
Destin has some of the most lovely beaches that I have ever seen. The waters are clear and blue, the sand is pearly white, the area is crime-free and safe for the whole family, the atmosphere is welcoming and relaxing, the restaurants are divine, and the people are friendly. It doesn't get any better than that!
