gumbo-festival-logo

If you love Gumbo while walking around in the sunshine, then you need to come down to the Gumbo Festival in Sandestin.

Baytowne Wharf’s annual Gumbo Festival is set for Feb. 13-14, 2015. The main event will be Feb. 14 at Baytowne Wharf in Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. The main event will include more than a dozen local restaurants, associations and clubs competing for the coveted prize of the best gumbo along the Emerald Coast.

On the afternoon of Feb. 13, there will be a seafood boil at Fat Tuesday’s which will mark the official kickoff of the festival.

Each participant will have their own special gumbo for ticket holders to try. The gumbos range from fancy duck gumbo to the standard seafood gumbo to gumbo in such a deep, dark roux that you’d think it was motor oil.

This event gets bigger and better every year. This will be the 26th Gumbo Festival, so don’t delay and get on down to sample the area’s best gumbo.

Scenic Sotheby’s International Realty Opening Second 30A Office

August 5, 2014 by

30A Avenue

 

SANTA ROSA BEACH, Florida (May 6, 2014) – Scenic Sotheby’s International Realty announces that it has leased 4,125 square feet of office space at 30Avenue. The sophisticated village center, whose construction is well underway, anchors the gateway to Scenic Highway 30A at the intersection of Highway 98 near the new urbanism communities of Rosemary Beach and Alys Beach.

Scenic Sotheby’s International Realty Owners Blake Morar and Chris Abbott met 30Avenue Developer Bryan Corr at the luxury firm’s existing location on 30A in Blue Mountain Beach Monday afternoon to finalize the agreement.

“This is tremendous for our business,” said Morar. “We’ve operated out of one office for over 15 years. Adding this prominent office location is a big, but exciting change that will allow our agents to provide their customers on the east end of 30A with an even greater level of service.”

“30Avenue is a natural first stop for travelers coming to 30A from Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport,” said Abbott. “We’re eager to leverage the global recognition of the Sotheby’s International Realty® brand at this location, and confident that our presence there will attract further attention to the luxury properties of Rosemary Beach, Alys Beach and WaterSound Beach. ”

An allée of soaring date palms creates a dramatic first impression, inviting patrons of 30Avenue to explore the 16-acre mixed-use town center Gateway to Paradise. Grand promenades and open green spaces combine with sheltering paseos, fountains, and intimate courtyards in the spirit of historic shopping districts from Palm Beach to Highland Park, and Country Club Plaza.

Scenic Sotheby’s International Realty offers exclusive Sotheby’s International Realty marketing, advertising and referral services designed to attract well-qualified buyers to the firm’s property listings. In addition, the firm and its clients benefit from an association with the Sotheby’s auction house, which promotes real estate referral opportunities with auction house clientele.

As a Sotheby’s International Realty affiliate, the firm also has the unique ability to refer its real estate clientele to the auction house for jewelry, art, unique furniture and collectible appraisal services. Property listings from Scenic Sotheby’s International Realty also are marketed on the sothebysrealty.com global website, as well as on the firm’s local website, scenicsir.com.

Scenic Sotheby’s International Realty will occupy the 2nd floor of Building D in Phase I of 30Avenue. Phase I is expected to be complete this July. The firm anticipates its new office location will be open late this fall.

Scenic Sotheby’s International Realty is located at 3305 West County Highway 30A, Santa Rosa Beach, Florida 32459. For additional information, please contact 850.231.6052. The Sotheby’s International Realty network currently has more than 14,500 sales associates located in approximately 700 offices in 52 countries and territories worldwide.
