I lived there in '71. Okaloosa Island had no really big hotels (a couple of smaller ones I think) and the house I lived in was visble from Santa Rosa Blvd. It's now surrounded by houses and can't be seen.
There was absolutely NOTHING at Navarre. We had friends that lived there and I swear there were only two houses where they lived!
This was my first time back in 30 years. My dad kicks himself for not buying land on the island back in '71.
hey, he shouldn't feel bad. some developer would have probably sued him to build a big fancy condo on it.
