Pretty nice, huh? This will set you back a cool $6.2 MIL! And that's for a whopping 2,800 sq ft. Oh, but the listing says that "supermodels, movie stars, prime ministers, and discerning families from across the country" have stayed there -- so that makes it worth it, right?
Just returned recently from a 3-day vacay to the Destin area. My parents had never seen the 30-A area so I wanted to take them for a driving tour. They couldn't quite believe it. The real estate just goes on and on and on. I don't think I'd ever driven too much off of Hwy 30 and actually taken some of the side streets through Watercolor and Seaside. Unbelievable. And that these are people's SECOND homes! I realize they rent them out, but still! In this economy, surely they're not seeing the rental income they used to. I wonder what the foreclosure rate is?
Fell in LOVE with a new-ish community further east from Seaside called Alys Beach. Totally different look from the colorful cottages of the rest of South Walton. ALL WHITE -- total Mediterranean look. When I win the lottery (and I AM going to one of these days -- have to buy tickets, though), this is where I'm buying my vacation home --
Yes, this is someone's private courtyard with pool. I WANT!
