    Architectural Digest Names Alys Beach One Of Most Beautiful Small Towns

    I think it was 2003 when Somerset Beach was launched. The name was quickly changed to Alys Beach when it was discovered there was a Somerset Beach in the Bahamas. #SoWalHistory

    Peach Creek is Dying from Pollution

    OMG! I paddle Peach Creek a couple of times during the year for the last ten years or so and was wondering where all the grass and crud was coming from. I though maybe climate change but runoff makes more sense. I don't even understand why we have lawns any more especially near sensitive...

    For Rent Seagrove Studio/s All Utilities Paid

    Sorry but I am confused. It sounds like you have 2 rooms for rent that share a bath, and a kitchen that is shared with other residents? So not a studio apartment? A studio apartment, also known as a studio flat, a self-contained apartment, efficiency apartment, bed-sitter or bachelor apartment...

    Destin Mayor Letter to Governor About Opening Vacation Rentals

    “I am writing to request that you re-evaluate the vacation rental ban initiated in Executive Order 20-111 and extended in Executive Order 20-112.” “In Okaloosa County, approximately 11,000 of our 14,000 (78.5%) lodging units fall into the vacation rental category. We believe that vacation...

    Public Beach Trespassing?

    I wonder what would happen if a beach patrol on a 4-wheeler ran into one and it decapitated him or her? Just the thought of it might send a commissioner into a frenzy (hint hint) oh my the county could be sued and so could the PRIVATE property owner!

    Public Beach Trespassing?

    I think the signs may have something to do with lawyers (duh). What I mean is, it's something about marking your territory to set you up so that in the future you can tell a judge that you marked your beach and some legal mumbo jumbo about public use and private use and yada yada yada... It...

    Do we need a TDC?

    Office space - no it doesn't have to be new but I doubt there is any space available that is already built. They could only gain a small amount if they moved the welcome center portion out of the current building - maybe 400 sf. The meeting room is too small now, but if they used that for office...

    Do we need a TDC?

    Jdarg - nice post. I'll post more later but quickly I'll say that the TDC office space is maxed out. They'll be happy to give you a quick tour. I've found all the people who work there very friendly, caring, and professional. They want the best for SoWal - late public perception is a overboard IMO.

    Best source of homes for sale in old Seagrove?

    Zebraspots is right - I would try to get on one of the quieter roads. Maybe you can do a long term rental for awhile and get to be an insider. But rentals are hard to come by also.

    Eastern Lake Access - Yikes!

    Nice post! Don't you wish sometimes you could go back in a time machine and tell folks not to build so near the gulf and lakes? Imagine if their was no construction south of 30a - wow! Just a little parking and some restrooms and boardwalks. I guess there's no money in that. LOL pant pant

    How's the real estate market in South Walton now?

    Thank you for your post. How are sales compared to March of last year? What is current inventory and how does it compare to all-time highs of recent years? You say "Sellers are pricing their property more in line with the amounts buyers are willing to pay and that leads to sales." Could it be...

    How's the real estate market in South Walton now?

    Just curious what experiences folks are having. Fewer local properties are on the market today than there were a year ago, and a local Realtor says that’s a sign the market is recovering. Florida Realtors, the largest real estate organization in the state, recently released its market updates...

    Do you know Pompano Jim?

    I have known “Pompano Jim“ (alias: Jim Thean) for many years now. Awhile back I wrote an article about him and his profound knowledge of the life cycle of pompano. The pompano is declared by many famous chefs as a prime aquatic swimmer in the Gulf. It’s not often found on the normal restaurant...

    South Walton TDC pursuing new visitor center site

    It is official and I just need someone to second it — I am starting the TDC watchdog group ! Amount of money they pull in? At a local 100-bed hotel in July last year they "grabbed" over $13,000 alone. Now think about adding the other hotels, homes and condos (ca-ching). With the use of...
