Review of Destin, Florida


UNLESS YOU’RE A MILLIONAIRE IT SUCKS
Star Rating - 12/3/2021
This tiny town is SO expensive. Unless you want a roach and mold infested place you will have to pay around $1800 or more and the “nice” places have reviews that scare me. I have been Living with a friend trying to find somewhere to move for months. None of the apartment complexes get back to me or simply say they have no availability. There are also no waitlists! If you have pets you will have even more trouble. Every time I see a place it says NO PETS. They even do fish fees in most places ?!?! This town just has no space. There’s the military that live in a lot of the housing and people buying places to rent for vacationers. The rest of the people get nothing.. the food is not great. They don’t have much culture here. There has been lots of violence and it’s getting worse each summer. The only amazing thing is the beaches but that gets boring after the 10th swim in the ocean. Jobs are everywhere expect they pay terribly to the point where you’re scrounging to get by. Im a single woman with 3 jobs and still cannot move anywhere without being money drained. I’m sorry but unless you have a good amount of money, a roommate, or spouse living here is not realistic. You will be dead broke.
