We loved the house, the location, and the neighborhood pool and walkability. What we did not love and why we will not return to Destin was the harassment we received by the "private beach owners". We felt like the property did not disclose that when you walk to the beach near this house, there is only about 40 feet of public beach available. If you put your chair in any other section, you will be told by the "private beach owner" that you are not allowed to put your chair there and have to move. This happened to our family at two different access points. Destin has created a hostile environment for visitors and homeowners at the beach. If order to get a spot on the beach, you have to rent a condo or pay an outrageous amount of money to rent chairs and umbrella from these private beach owners. We would never buy a house in Destin now as a retirement home because the rules in this county as so ridiculous. Go anywhere else but Destin is my recommendation. It's a real shame because this property is really lovely. By the way, we looked up these ordinances and it's really a grey area and if someone had the money to take it to court, we believe that the county and all these private beach owners would lose. Just my two cents.
