Boy, do I need advice, please!!

[Jasmine]

Hello-

I am from Central Fl. and have been to the panhandle several times and found it beautiful. My children live east of here and I would like to move to the Ft. Walton area to be closer to them. I have always enjoyed living close to the water and have noticed that Ft. Walton hasn't been destroyed like some of the other beachfront communities in Florida. The few people that I did meet seemed very nice. My goal is to find a quiet place close to the beach with a friendly population. This area seemed like a perfect fit!! I was so thankful to find this website!!

I am in the medical field and need information on affordable housing, local hospitals, local "hang outs" where it would be possible to meet nice folks and eat great food!!

I don't have a set date on moving, but would like it to be within the next couple of months. As of right now, I am traveling for my job but would like to stop traveling and set up permanent residence.

If anyone wouldn't mind giving me some information on Ft. Walton, Destin, Santa Rosa Beach, etc, I would be so grateful !

I will check back later this afternoon!
Thank you so much,
Jas
