Insider Story: How One Couple Found the Magic ✨
Meet Lisa and Kevin from Charlotte. They booked their first luxury stay with us last fall. They wanted a relaxing getaway—but stumbled upon the Destin Seafood Festival after checking the events calendar we sent them.
“It was the highlight of our trip!” Lisa told us. “We danced by the docks, tried fried gator (yep), and watched the sunset with fresh oysters and champagne. If we hadn’t checked the calendar, we’d have missed it!”
Now, they come back every October—just for that weekend. 🌅🦪
