When will HCC come up with events like this for the 'on the beach' locations on the East Coast? Oops. They don't have any. :)

OBX is not open yet...hopefully soon! HH is not on the beach but close.

HCC has not had hardly any events like this that I am aware of. I hope that they increase in the future though.

The map seems to indicate this Rosemary Beach unit is not on the beach. doesn't even look close! Actually ... why in the world would HCC buy in that area at all when there are so many more popular locations right on the beaches in Marco, South Beach, Lauderdale, etc. This one is way out of the way and far from the 'action'. For a small 2 bdrm it doesn't appeal to me at all. Bill ... is there a Hooter's there? :)

HH does look nice but I wonder how close 'close to the beach' is?

That was my reaction as well when both PE and HCC acquired properties in Rosemary Beach, but the properties and destination have received rave reviews from members of both clubs... and a friend that lives in Napa loves it so much that he just bought a vacation home there as well. Guess I'll have to check it out sometime...

The panhandle of Florida (the Emerald coast) is an awesome location for beachgoers and vacations. I have been there several times. The sand is a crisp white powder that actually “squeaks” as you walk on it. The water is warm and the small communities that dot the areas are quaint.

This area includes Fort Walton Beach and Santa Rosa Counties. This area redefines the word relaxing.

The most famous location is Seaside, where the Jim Carry - The Truman Show movie was filmed. The prices of homes directly on the beach are in the multi-millions.

There are several smaller less expensive communities a few miles up and down the road from Seaside that are equally nice including Water Color (PE has a home here), Rosemary Beach (HCC property location), Seacrest, and Grayton.

There are dozens of timeshares in the Destin area and one of my favorites is the Club Intrawest at Sandestin. I am no expert on all the timeshares in that area, but I have visited Sandestin and really liked the location. They have a free shuttle that takes you to the beach if you don’t want to walk. There is a fantastic shopping and restaurants within walking distance.

Only the most expensive properties are actually located on an unobstructed beach location and they are extremely expensive. Most properties are a block or two from the beach. Most of the high-rises appear to be limited to the Destin area and the other areas have three story buildings or less.

A walk to the beach from any Florida panhandle Destination Club property would be about twice as long as a walk to the beach from the Marriott BeachPlace in Fort Lauderdale. The main difference is there is very little traffic in the panhandle.
