    For five decades, the resort set on the spectacular Emerald Coast has drawn visitors to its beautiful white-sand beaches, made from quartz carried from the Appalachian Mountains twenty thousand years ago. After fifty years, it's no surprise that the largest resort to be situated on Florida’s Gulf Coast remains the ultimate destination for generations of coastal adventurers, families, couples, reunions, winter vacationers, and getaways.

  • The Effie Experience
    October 28, 20219.2 min

    The venue of the day is the relatively new and buzzed-about Hotel Effie. Named after the owner's matriarch, the Hotel has a family element that emanates through the graciousness everyone working here seems to possess. Walking into the bright and spacious lobby, I feel transported to a swanky metropolitan city, minus the ostentatiousness that comes with that. The modern yet breezy design is refreshing from the typical beach casual decor we Floridians are so used to seeing. Perhaps it's because I am finally off 30-A? Anyone who stays on 30-A knows the running joke of Destin/Sandestin being a faraway "big city." So take it from me, Hotel Effie came to play.
