We absolutely LOVE going to Florida and have been coming to the Magnolia neighborhood near Destin FL for 13 years! It was our dream to own a beach house there. In December, we made that dream a reality. We bought, furnished and recently started renting our beach house out. More on how to rent it here. Many of you asked where we like to eat in the Santa Rosa Beach, 30A area so I compiled 10 favorites, also kid approved! Let me know in the comments if you have any favorites that I missed.
See our first trip to Alys Beach that I blogged about HERE. Brooks was a baby — 7 years ago!
I welcome any questions here: shalice@shalicenoel.com. As always thanks for stopping by! 😉
