We have owned in Destin for 21 years. I remember telling my Atlanta friends that we had a condo there. Over a 21 year span it went from:
1. "Where?" 2."Oh, I have heard of Destin." 3."Oh, I know where that is." 4."Oh, I have been to Destin." 5."Oh, I have heard of Mainsail." ( our place) 6."Oh, I have been to Mainsail." 7. "Oh, Destin is so crowded, we are now going to Seagrove, etc."
21 years divided by 7 (lines of familiarity dialogue - see above) means every 3 years on average, Destin became more popular. When Atlanta found out about it, it grew, became more congested, can't get in the honky-tonk restaurants and the quiet appeal has gone. When I hear Atlanta people are looking at Lake Martin, I shudder.
I BEG Destin locals to please tell me about some restaurants they don't want others to know about....that I PROMISE not to tell...but, they don't even have a haven any more. I despise Destin in the summer. I only want to go in the Fall and Spring now.
Does that answer your question?
