It’s Friday, August 16th, and today marks the official start to the 2024 Scallop Season here in Gulf County.  While vacation rentals have slowed down in recent weeks due to school schedules, our area will see a boost in visitor traffic over the next month or so, especially on the ...

It’s been a hot and steamy week here in the panhandle in the wake of Hurricane Debby missing us on the east side last Monday.  With the exception of more new listings and price reductions, there’s not a whole lot of new activity to report from our local real estate ...
