Destin area Ivan damage
We spent last Spring Break in a beachside condo in Destin. Any word on hurricane damage to condos in this area? We'd like to return for Thanksgiving. Thanks for any info!

My daughter's boss owns a condo in Destin, and it had extensive interior damage. This may not be true with all condos. I'd check, not just with the owners, but with the property management of the condos you are thinking about renting.

I don't know about Destin, but I was looking at a website for a realty company in Gulf Shores, which is nearby, and it said they were cancelling all rentals until December 1. The photos looked horrible.

We have friends that live in Destin - most places had minimal damage - they really did dodge a bullet on this one. What is the name of the condo complex you rent in. We are headed down there this Friday night and if it is near us I would check it out. Destin off Old 98 is up about 20-30 above the gulf - so the storm surge didn't do as much damage as Okaloosa Island or Gulf Shores. Mainly the damage is to the roofs and as a result water inside. Here most businesses and life are back to normal.
