Tell me about Destin, FL

[jchokie79]

Ok, if you saw my other post about Cabo, that's out.  We'll be staying in the US and now looking at Destin, FL.

Looking to stay at Baytowne Wharf.  Never been.  Can anyone tell me about the area and if you've stayed in Baytowne, which property would you recommend?  TIA!

I replied on S&B but here you go:

We have a house in Destin so we go 4 or 5 times a year. Baytown Wharf is nice, I can't speak to which property to stay in but I know everyone that stays there enjoys it. The beaches are gorgeous in that area. It is right near the Silver Sand Outlet, but there is also more shopping (non-outlet) down 98 at Destin Commons. You are near 30A as well with Seaside, Rosemary, Alys Beach, Watercolor.

We've stayed in Sandestin resort which is where Baytowne is located. We always stay in Beachside 1 or 2 because they are right on the beach and some of the others aren't. If I recall correctly, Baytowne is, as the name implies, on the Bay side so no beach. We also watched Tivoli go up; and it looks nice as well. We haven't been in a few years but it is a very nice area

I can't tell you about which property to stay in because we've only stayed at the Hilton which was nice and right on the beach. I can tell you that Destin is a beautiful area and I highly recommend going. The beaches are beautiful and I recommend just driving on 30A and visiting whatever looks good.

DH and I love the following places:

1. Red Bar at Santa Rosa Beach

2. Seaside, Fl

3. Bud and Alley's @ Seaside is the perfect place to grab a drink on their upper deck and watch the sunset.

4. Silver Sands Outlet shopping
