Venez vous détendre sur notre balcon cet été! Plage, soleil, sable, nuits de village, recommencez!

In case you are wondering who we are, and where we are from,the next few tidbits should clue you in.Warren and I both grew up in the New Orleans metro area. We were childhood sweethearts and have been married for 40 years. We have one son Warren II, a beautiful daughter-in-law, a beautiful granddaughter and two adorable grandsons that we just love to pieces. We were your average family just going about life until one historical day. On August 29, 2005 our lives were forever changed. Hurricane Katrina destroyed our community and our home.Our home was just eight months old when Katrina's waters ravaged its walls. We had eight feet of water for three weeks in our home. Our families being as close as we are, all were in the same surrounding area. We found ourselves in a very unfair predicament. No one had a home or belongings. We only had each other which later proved to be far better than any materialistic thing.We rebuilt our home and our families homes.You learn a lot about life when everything else is gone.The simple things mean so much more. You never take for granted whats here today. It just might not be there tomorrow. We can't get the old pictures back so we have to rely on our memory for those special times we shared. We have new pictures now and and new memories and a bigger appreciation for those special times. Time is a thief so enjoy every moment.

Warren and I first stayed in Sanddestin the summer of 2006. We decided we needed to get out of town and bring our son and a friend who had also lost his home with us just to get the kids away from all of the destruction before they went back to school. We ended up in the Village because it was a last minute trip and the beach was all booked up. We had always gone to Destin but always stayed on the beach. Once we stayed in the Village we have never stayed on the beach again. It was New Orleans all over for us. Only without the destruction and the new construction going on at home. We fell in love with The village of Baytowne Wharf and vowed to each other once we got back on our feet we would have a place to call home in Sanddestin. We moved back in our house in June of 2007 and in February of 2009 we purchased our condo in Observation Point North.The Warrens and I LOVE Vacations. We love Destin, Cruising and just about any destination. Not much notice is needed and we are on our way.

Our condo gives us the best of both worlds. The balcony puts us right in the center of it all overlooking events plaza. The unit is also steps away from the pool. If we want the beach we can be there in a jiffy. We can sit outside and read a book. We have taken our condo and tried to give it a sense of New Orleans. We love our condo and we know our guest will too.
