During peak summer months, vacationers flock to the beautiful sugar-white sands of northwest Florida's8217;s Emerald Coast beaches. But, experienced travelers will always plan a week or
even a long weekend in October, when crowds are smaller, condo rental prices are lower and the weather is close to perfect.
One of the region's8217;s biggest draws is Destin, where visitors enjoy amenities extending from the upscale Sandestin resort area to the quaint city's8217;s original fishing village
area. Known as the 's8220;World's8217;s Luckiest Fishing Village,'s8221; Destin, located midway between Pensacola and Panama City, boasts the nation's8217;s largest privately-owned
charter fishing boat fleet, as well as many of Florida's8217;s top-rated golf courses and restaurants, and expansive shopping offerings.
According to Suzanne Harris, general manager of Edgewater Beach Condominium, one of Destin's8217;s most popular vacation rental providers, October has it all over the summer for visitors
in the mood for relaxation.
's8220;Most of Destin's8217;s extensive array of amenities is still available, there is plenty of room at the beach, our temperatures are ideal and our emerald waters are
spectacular,'s8221; Harris said. 's8220;You might even be a witness to one of nature's8217;s most amazing sights when thousands of stingrays pass through during their southern
migration.'s8221;
Fall's8217;s more relaxed pace also translates to more relaxed Destin condo rental rates, which is attractive to everyone from long-weekend to longer-term renters.
's8220;Our vacation rental guests always love visiting from October through December, when Destin abounds with great events and festivals,'s8221; Harris said. 's8220;Lower rates and our
private beach provide a great value.'s8221;
While Harris always advises visitors to book their Destin vacation rental as early as possible, she says that last-minute reservations often can be accommodated. 's8220;We have many
guests who decide spur-of-the-moment to visit for a romantic getaway or a long weekend during school breaks, either driving in or taking advantage of the lower airfare that typically is
offered during the early fall months,'s8221; Harris said.
Edgewater Beach Condominium sits majestically on Miramar Beach, between Destin and Sandestin. Featuring a touch of the French Riviera, its unique architecture is among Florida's8217;s
most recognizable landmarks. The resort offers distinctively appointed one, two, and three bedroom condominiums, each with a private balcony overlooking lushly landscaped gardens, three
sparkling swimming pools and the Gulf of Mexico.
