About the host

Hosted by Richard and Sonya Norris

Host profile image
We are a husband and wife who both grew up in Georgia. We always loved going to Florida for vacation as kids with our parents. Having lost both sets of parents and us both being cancer survivors, now the memories and family time are even more precious. Family is so very important to us. We have one son and daughter in law and are patiently awaiting grandchildren! Our business March Ninth Properties in entirely family owned and operated. We are so blessed and so thankful to God for this opportunity.

Why they chose this property

We were married in 2002 and went on our honeymoon to the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. We loved it!! Fast forward to 2021 and we were blessed to be able to purchase our condo inside the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort! Plus it was built the month and year we were married. It was meant to be and we are thankful for such a blessing. Our condo home is everything we could have ever wanted but never thought we would be able to have. We hope you love it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

We love the location of our condo. The private balcony overlooks all of the action! You can watch the fireworks, movies, sunsets, listen to bands, enjoy the breeze or just people watch without ever having to leave the condo if you do not want to. But if you do want to get out and about, everything is right at your doorstep.
