Recent News about North West Florida Beaches Airport

Agreement

Southwest Airlines and Bay County tourism officials met in Dallas on Wednesday to sign an agreement.

This agreement will put local bed-tax muscle behind the low-cost carrier’s efforts to market the allure of local beaches.

Southwest airlines will provide daily non-stop flights from 4 cities to the new airport. These cities have not been announced yet. The airline officials will adjust flight schedules to meet the new airport’s May 18 grand opening.

The Walton County Tourist Development Council is expected to authorize a deal with Southwest similar to the Bay County agreement for a half-cent bed tax that county recently approved.

Tropical Storm IDA!

1

The latest information about Tropical Storm IDA is that has weakened. However, strong onshore flow continues along coastal areas of the Florida Panhandle. Water levels in this are are currently running around 3 feel above normal with a total storm tide of 3 to 5 feet.

Althought tide has passed, the continued onshore flow will lead to a very slow fall in water levels through the day. Winds are expected to weaken this evening and then become offshore overnight which will end the coastal flood threat.

Check out these fantastic pictures of the water taken by a South Walton local.

Boys of Summer Back for One Last Day In The Sun

On a beautiful Sunday afternoon in November the boys of summer were able to come out to play and competed in the Bilabong Surfing competition held on Okaloosa Island just West of the Pier.   It’s days like these that make me glad that I no longer live in North Dakota where I’m pretty sure they were not holding a surfing competition. 

If you have ever thought of owning a place at the beach so you too can take advantage of days like these I would urge you to take a look at the Destin Real Estate market because there are deals to be had.

Golf Digest writer Peter Finch comes to Seaside to explore golf at the beach.

In the November issue of Golf Digest Magazine writer Peter Finch talks about his visit to Seaside this past summer for a family vacation.   He mentions that there are more than a dozen golf courses within an hour of Seaside with the heaviest concentration in Destin, where there is the Sandestin Resort has four (three of them with 4-1/2 stars in Golf Digest’s Best Places to Play reader ratings).  He also mentions Kelly Plantation’s Fred Couples designed course but missed Regatta Bay’s course- which I believe is very nice.

Courses Played

The writer said he played Shark’s Tooth, Camp Creek and Origins.  Shark’s Tooth, a Greg Norman design that Golf Digest ranks as the eight-best in all of Florida was his favorite.

He talks about “The Truman Show” where Truman and his buddy Marlon are hitting golf balls into the distance and Truman says that he would like to get out and explore the world and Marlon says,

           “Where is there to go?”  “I went all over.  I never found a place like this, though.”

When you think about it — Seaside, Golf and the beach — there aren’t too many places like this.  Check out article and see what esle Mr. Finch has to say about the area. 

Second Home / Golf / Beach

What if you could buy a condo at the beach for half price — Would you do it?

That is exactly the case these days at Leeward Key condo in Destin Florida.  At the height of the Destin Real Estate market in 2004 and 2005 two (2) bedroom units sold for more than $600,000 and (1) sold for $599,000.  Now there are similar units on the mareket listed as low as $359,000 with the most recent sale closing at $315,000!

As you can see sellers have taken a beating over the last couple or years giving buyers some incredible deals on wonderful properties that in the not too distant future will command a much higher price tag.  So if you have thought about buying a condo at the beach I would urge you to consider making a move now before the tide turns and prices start to climb and perhaps pass you by.
