SPRING TIME AT THE BEACH!

Springtime is always exciting here at the beach.  


Our sugar white beaches and the Destin Harbor are filled with beach goers and boaters.  This year we are especially eager to get out in the warm sunshine after an unusually cool winter.

We are giddy with joy and couldn't wait to trade our boots & sweaters for flip flops, tshirts & shorts!

There is so much going on here for spring and summer this year, starting with Spring Break from March through April - with Mardi Gras, St. Paddy's Day and Easter sprinkled in.

He's even been known to take a spring break himself and ride the waves.

There are plenty of bikes for daily rentals.

Great March rates at Ariel Dunes II 
 Two bedrooms, 2 baths at only $150/night.
