When it comes to top selling condos in Destin, Florida and along the Emerald Coast, Waterscape, Ariel Dunes and Sandpiper Cove have led the pack this year in popularity. Waterscape and Ariel Dunes are larger scale, resort-style condominiums, where Sandpiper Cove is more of a lowrise building, with townhome-style residences. All three are close to the Gulf and have lots of amenities either onsite or close by - important features to look for in an Emerald Coast condo.

Working with luxury homes in Destin and along Scenic 30A Highway , I've seen my share of beautiful homes. These, however, have that special something that takes them one step beyond. Let's just say, if opulence was a crime, these homes would be confiscated. Each of these examples evokes coastal elegance at its finest, yet still provide a warm and inviting atmosphere.
