Escape to Paradise Escape @ Edgewater
Edgewater is proud to welcome winter guests to the increasingly popular winter vacation spot -- Destin on Florida’s emerald coast.

New seasonal events and festivals have been added to the winter entertainment scene and while there are many choices, these are Edgewater’s top recommendations.
