Destin Real Estate
Destin was voted the best Southern Beach and a top family destination four years in a row by Southern Living Magazine, and for a good reason! The water activities are endless, from deep-sea fishing to surfing to boating – not to mention the white "sugar sand" beaches and emerald waters that give the "Emerald Coast" its name. There are over 14 golf courses in the area, the shopping is world-class, and the restaurants are excellent, many of which are located right on the water.
An exciting diversity of homes and condos awaits you – Destin condos are a hot item on the market, but you might like the space and privacy that a single-family home offers. No matter whether it's for weekends or a lifetime, Destin homes will welcome you into the unique culture that is Destin, Florida. This community began as a fishing village in the 1850s, home to the family that gave Destin its name. Since the 1980s, Destin has experienced significant growth, which is still going on today. Investing in a Destin home can be a substantial financial decision, as your home can increase in equity and the possibility for short-term vacation rental income. Single-family homes are usually a bit more than condos, but the space and the luxury of your yard can make this well worth the property's extra value. And, for the genuinely luxury-minded, Destin waterfront homes and estates bring the pleasures of the Emerald Coast to your doorstep. Vacation? You won't even have to leave home to live the lifestyle others have to travel for. Read more...

Destin Homes
Destin homes include everything from cozy cottages to extravagant beachfront mansions from the upper $200s and into the multi-million dollar range. Each community has its unique architectural style, ranging from Coastal Cottage, Mediterranean, Victorian, to Old Florida. The most sought-after homes are beachfront and most lucrative from an investment standpoint since many homeowners typically use them as short-term vacation rental weekly. Each neighborhood also includes lavish amenities like community pools, tennis courts, and fitness centers. The many attractive single-family residences can provide a growing family with the room they require, plus proximity to schools, work, and leisure. Yes, Destin is as much a family-friendly city as it is a retirement and vacation-friendly city. The excellent educational opportunities children have here are available in both public and private institutions. Several colleges and universities near Destin, including the University of West Florida, are only 50 miles away in Pensacola.
Destin Condos
A Destin condo can be your retirement home, weekend getaway, or a hybrid of personal use and vacation rental property. Two water bodies surround Destin: the Gulf of Mexico and the Choctawhatchee Bay – both Gulf-front and Bay-front condos provide appealing options. These condos would provide a fine primary residence, but many of them are on short-term rental programs for extra income. These condos and townhomes are still affordable for those who want a simpler lifestyle without property maintenance time and expenses. Destin condos range from simple beachy chic to luxurious penthouse residences providing privileged living with lavish finishes and an abundance of amenities.
