Hi Ryan,

Is the host hotel on the beach facing the race course? What is the host hotel? I checked all the sites and no specific hotel was named. We hoping to be on the beach with a balcony view of the races.

Thank you in advance.

The host hotel is in fort walton, near pits not race course. Check out oceania condos, close to course, large balconies gulf front, about middle of front straight away call resort quest 888.909.6807..........several teams staying there that I am aware, unfortunately mojo, imco, wild ride, typhoon are staying there hopefully that won't deter your decision!!!!!

You'll want east Hwy 98, Destin. or
west of Henderson State Park to be on the Course/
Gulf of Mexico- S F is the park I think.
Holiday Inn is right in the middle of the
Race Course straight-of way, about $100/
night. 850-837 6181.....:D




Mapquest: click on surrounding businesses :D
Here's a few...

Re: New Destin Info
 

thats funny im in the same position too !!! lets see how many rooms we can get :rolleyes: :eek:

Re: New Destin Info
 

Silver Shells is a beautiful complex of condos too (5 high-rise units). It's not the prime location for speeds (turns 8 & 9) but a great place to stay.

Re: New Destin Info
 

Hey girlie!! :D

Sterling is perfect, Ramada Limited is gross & too far east of the course, near the Okalossa County and Walton County line.

The other Ramada is on the Bay.

See you there, unless we are in a dark bar of course. :D

Re: New Destin Info
