Holiday Isle Vacation Rentals, Homes, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals
Holiday Isle
is a beautiful three-mile long island located in Destin, Florida along the northwest Panhandle of Florida. The island is very private with very little traffic and has sidewalks that are great for walking and jogging. Holiday Isle is considered a premier vacation spot where the dazzling white sands and crystal clear waters rival the Bahamas. Activities on or near Holiday Isle include hiking, biking, fishing and boating, swimming, snorkeling and diving, sailing, water-skiing, surfing, parasailing, jet skiing and golf. Nearby Destin is a small fishing village along the Emerald Coast that has consistently been voted as “Best Beach in the South” by Southern Living Magazine. The town sits on picturesque Emerald Bay and is well known for its superb fishing grounds and miles of white sand beaches. There are four beachfront parks in the area, and Destin is home to an annual Seafood Festival, usually held in October. Some of Florida’s best seafood restaurants can be found in the Holiday Isle region, along with unique shopping, art galleries and nightlife. Holiday Isle is near the other Emerald Coast towns of Fort Walton Beach, Grayton Beach and Seaside.
The Northwest Florida Panhandle, in the region known as the "Emerald Coast," enjoys warm temperatures year round. The state of Florida, as a whole, is among the wettest states in the U.S., receiving at least 50 inches of rain annually, and the Panhandle region has the most rain of anyplace in the state. However, many of these showers and thunderstorms pass quickly and the sunshine prevails. Tropical winds from the south, along with the Gulf and abundant rain, create hot, humid conditions May through September. The rest of the year is much more comfortable, with mild days and cool nights, less humidity and less rain. Hurricane season officially lasts August through October, but most of these storms blow into the Atlantic and miss Florida entirely. In the case when one does reach shore, ample warning time is generally given for these storms.
