Cristie - I have been enjoying those beaches for 20 years now - My sister-in-law now lives in Niceville - but before lived in Navarre and Mary Esther. They are booming big time down there - in fact my husband and I have purchased a couple of townhomes there in the last few years and rent them out to tourists as a hedge against inflation. We have always wanted to retire there but were afraid that prices would skyrocket and we wouldn't be able to afford beachfront in 8 years. Hopefully this way we can sell both and buy what we want when we get down there. Spent most of last week painting and doing general maintenance - But still enjoyed it.<br><br><br>Shar<br><br>
