It’s a beautiful morning here on Holiday Isle in Destin☀️🌊 One of my favorite things about this beach is watching the fishing boats in the early morning as they gather bait and prepare to head out for the day—with a few blue herons nearby hoping for breakfast. It’s an experience you’ll only find right here on Holiday Isle🌴🌊

I have a vacation rental on this beach at the Islander Resort in Destin (not to be confused with the Island Resort on Okaloosa Island).

My place is pretty much booked for the rest of this season except a little October availability (unless you are interested in being a monthly winter snowbird). The calendar opens six months in advance, so spring and summer dates will start opening soon.

Mine books up quickly, so be sure to plan early if you’d like to stay at my place! (See the pinned post on my page for the details)

If my place is full, you can also book directly through the Islander Resort and stay in another condo. It’s really is a special place 💙💙💙

7/23/26 9:05 a.m. 🌊 The wind has calmed down, but there are still big waves and double red flags from Tropical Storm Bertha. The water is closed, but it’s a beautiful sunny day 🙂🚩🚩☀️

I went for a walk out to the jetties tonight to see the waves from Tropical Storm Bertha passing through the Gulf 🌊 Yes… that area with the rushing water is usually sand. The power of nature is pretty amazing to watch! Stay safe 🚩🚩

Rode my bike to Norriego Point tonight to check out the fireworks from these new walkovers, and they did not disappoint. This video was taken from the furthest walkover, which lined up perfectly with the fireworks barge.

It used to be a long walk through the sand to get out this far, so I was often by myself out here on fireworks nights. It’s more accessible now and I enjoy all the people around.

Have you watched the fireworks from out here?

More crazy storm clouds tonight over Destin Harbor 🌊 This storm is supposed to pass through quickly. Today was a beautiful beach day. This is at Dolphin Point condos on holiday aisle. I manage a 2/2 vacation rental here. I will put the link in the comments 😃🌊🏝️⛱️

Cool storm clouds over Marina Cafe and Boshamps on Destin Harbor tonight 💙☁️

Good morning from Destin. 🌊☁️Beautiful waves and clouds this morning.

I always get asked what beach my videos are from, and the answer is pretty much always Holiday Isle in Destin, usually in front of the Islander Resort, where I have a vacation rental (See my pinned post for the link)

If you’re ever missing my beach videos or just want to see more of them, I also run the social media for the Islander (Islander Resort Destin on FB) so be sure to follow along there too 🏖️💙🌴

Have a great day, everyone😊

Here’s a little clip from my morning walk on Holiday Isle today. 🌊

Lots of fishing boats gathered offshore, and still some pretty big waves today, though it’s definitely calmed down from yesterday and should continue to calm down as the week goes on.

Hope you’re having a great weekend wherever you are 😊

Good evening friends 🙂 sorry I haven’t posted in a while. Life has been busy, and managing my vacation rentals keeps me even busier.

I still try to get out for an evening walk on Holiday Isle most nights. Here’s a little snippet from my walk around Norriego Point tonight.

I know not everyone feels this way, but I really enjoy the sights and sounds of HarborWalk Village in the summertime from here. The music, the laughter, the lights reflecting on the water.

Winter will be here again before we know it, and things will be quiet out here again. I love that season too. I love all the seasons and all the different versions of Destin.

I remember when this was mostly just a sand hill. I loved it then, and I love it now. The new boardwalk has been a nice addition, and as a bonus, I’ve finally got some stairs on my walking route instead of using the condo stairwells for a little extra workout.

How’s your summer going? Have you walked the new Norriego Point boardwalk yet? What are your thoughts on the improvements?
