Destin
We love Destin and have been the past 4 yrs for spring break w/3 granddaughters ages 11,8, & 3 this yr. It is crowded in town but we love the Beach Street Cottages. Its like renting a house and walking across the road to the beach. It's laid back with grills and pool in the yard and the other renters are like neighbors. There are only about 18-20 up/down units and they are only one bedrooms w/bunk beds in the hallway. Very cozy atmosphere! We like Kenny's in the parking lot, Dave's across the street, The Crab Trap down the road, and The Back Porch to eat. There is plenty of shopping and go-kart/mini-golf a few minutes away. You do need a car. Majestic is also very nice to the east, but the more crowded high rise style and the new Emerald Grande is beautiful but extremely busy.
