Destin, Destin…Destin! April was the first time that I had the opportunity to visit the frequent traveled and talked about city!
I truly just wanted some self-care and a chance to connect with travel vendors! Little did I know, there were so many things to do besides the beach! I decided to make this one a road trip as I was still a little nervous about flying. We decided to spend the night in Alabama and then headed over to Destin. Overall, it wasn’t a bad drive. Now, I say it’s not a bad drive, but I was the passenger :).
Hotel Effie was the hotel selected for me and it was one of the best stays ever! The hotel was pretty new and had an onsite restaurant and rooftop area with games! I became an expert at driving golf-carts as that was the primary method of getting around. There was a huge commitment to cleanliness and the staff members were super friendly!

Things to Do: Fish, beach picnic, shop, golf, and eat good, fresh food! Oh, did I mention…the spa! The spa is always a good idea! There were so many restaurants near the hotel, but my obsession with seafood wouldn’t let me branch out! Back Porch and Crab Trap are two restaurants that I recommend. The food was excellent, but the views were even better! Another hotel that I would recommend is the Hilton Sandestin. It appeared to be very family friendly and just your overall all in one location.
