Review of Destin, Florida


paradise doesn't come cheap
Star Rating - 2/9/2022
I find it amazing the place is rated one star - Yes the cost of housing is high especially as covid pushed more people to Florida. But living here is easy - three airports within one hour drive, the best seafood restaurants in the country, no ice, no snow, but a reasonable change of seasons. The fall is perfect beach weather (yes, a tropical storm may come in), The spring is warm with a lot of sunshine. Tourists are heavy in the summer and locals do not like the traffic (hence one star taken off) and it is very warm and humid (like an August Iowa day for two months). The winters? Like I say no ice, no snow, crisp and mostly sunny with highs most often around 60. And I haven't even talked about the beach - the beach is the best in the country (I've been to them all) and that's why it gets so busy here in the summer.
