LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Sharing The Love

O

ur area has received an immense amount of national coverage recently; from The Wall Street Journal, Conde Nast to Architectural Digest, just to name a few. Clearly, our early developers and visionaries were onto something magnificent when Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk joined with Seaside founders Daryl and Robert Davis to create the most idyllic beach community on the principals of new urbanism. They shared the love with us and laid the groundwork for building the most intentionally designed series of beach communities along our treasured coastline.

Erin and Jon Oden, boating to dinner. One of our local loves!

The visible growth of our area and vibrant home market is a testament to the appeal of our coastal communities. Once somewhat unknown, our coastline is now in the limelight. At times, we long for the nostalgia of yesterday’s beach town. But, as popularity comes with any place that is so uniquely special, we are now sharing the love of our precious coast with the many others who have discovered paradise and want to join in calling the coast home.

Enjoy a look through the pages of our spring issue for a visual of the slice of paradise we are so fortunate to enjoy together. We hope to see you soon, here at the beach, sharing in the love!

Warmest beach wishes,

Rainbows, Lollipops and Emerald Waters

BY ANNIE LOCKAMY

I

t started with a beautiful poem, was sealed with a kiss and ended with a wonderful day full of music and dancing, surrounded by loving family and friends. As a wedding planner for 10 years along Scenic Highway 30A, one of the most beautiful places in the world, I know what it takes to have the perfect day come together.

14 | Spring 2022

I have always loved a morning wedding so that you have the entire day to celebrate. The time was set for Oct. 17 at 11:11 because precisely that time of day is special for us. As the planning progressed, the excitement of the day started to become a reality. Living in this giving and loving community, we were simply overwhelmed by the outpouring of

WEDDING

support from family, friends, musicians, photographers and restaurants who were willing to help make this day extra special.

The week began with the crew of Coastal Luxury, led by the ever-creative Erin Oden and Rita Montgomery, hosting a lovely, intimate bridal shower for me. Next was a “Sunday Funday” celebration at The Bay restaurant, orchestrated by friends and my sisters Trish and Donna. The wonderful staff at The Bay far exceeded our expectations with their hospitality.

Friday evening’s rehearsal was followed by a sunset gathering thrown by dear friends, some of whom are amazing chefs and happen to be opening a new restaurant, Down Island Gulf Seafood. Grilled oysters, lamb lollipops and pork cheeks, served over the best polenta I have ever tasted, were just a few examples of the incredible feast enjoyed by all.

We chose picture-perfect Grayton Beach for the ceremony with Grayton Beach Catering providing a lovely champagne brunch. After the wedding, we made our way to the Red Bar and AJ’s where our sandy toes danced to the tunes of our unbelievably talented local musicians who add so much to what our beach area provides. Overall, it was an idyllic day full of sunshine and emerald waters where everlasting love, as sweet as lollipops and bright as rainbows, rang true.

The Citizen takes up residence in Alys Beach

hen Jeremy Walton opened The Citizen in Alys Beach in January, the 25-year veteran of the hospitality industry had confidence that the reward would be worth the risk.

His conviction has paid off.

“Having spent the last five years working with Alys Beach on the development of the town as the vice president of resort operations, I was very excited about the future and growth of the community,” said Walton, who earned his chops working with Auberge Resorts, Montage International and Sea Island before joining the Alys Beach team in 2014. He has also served as a consulting partner for the James Beard Award-winning chef Chris Hastings since 2005.

“Seeing the growth of Walton County and 30A overall, I came very easily to the decision to do a project like The Citizen,” Walton said.

“Because of COVID, the influx of people moving here and the amount of new people discovering 30A was an unexpected bonus.

Reception in the community has been positive since the beginning, and despite the pandemic, the community welcomed The Citizen with open arms.”

Walton intends that his business reflect “a love for the community and a commitment to defining what it means to be a good citizen.” The restaurant, located across 20 | Spring 2022

THE CITIZEN

The Citizen restaurant in Alys Beach features an 18-seat bar, 12-seat raw bar and a spacious 120-seat dining room and patio.

Highway 30A from the Gulf of Mexico, features coastal cuisine born of international inspirations and resulting in global flavor with a serious nod to Southern fare. Driven by locally sourced, seasonal ingredients, the food and beverage menus are indicative of a desire to provide the highest flavor with quality that speaks to a dedication to excellence.

Featuring accommodations of an 18-seat bar, 12-seat raw bar and a spacious 120-seat dining room and patio, The Citizen was designed by local architecture and design firm Khoury Vogt

Architects — the architects for the town of Alys Beach. Naturally, the tavern follows Alys Beach’s cleanly minimalist aesthetic, with an interior influenced by Scandinavian modern design and a focus on simple and refined elements: coffered ceilings, marble and gold accents and a vibrant splash of peacock blue that makes a bold statement in an otherwise white space.

Reflecting the fresh and vibrant vibe of the restaurant itself, the menu of The Citizen includes a selection of freshly caught seafood as well as dishes sourced from the

“land” and “garden.” Having created what he terms “more of a tavern,” Walton offers dishes consistent with the casual atmosphere of such an enterprise. Entrees, sandwiches, salads and appetizers, while expertly prepared and conceived with a flair for flavor pairings, seem to blur the line between the comfortable and the refined. In homage to coastal Southern fare, many of the dishes are cooked over a wood fire.

There are, of course, a few dishes that rise above the rest.

“Some of our best sellers are the Calabrian Shrimp, Whipped Feta, Roasted Avocado Salad and the Wood Fired Carrot Hummus Platter,” Walton noted of his most popular appetizers. “For main courses, the Roasted Grouper and the Charred Broccoli have been very well received, and Murder Point Oysters with the selection of four sauces and hot-buttered saltines is always a star offering that everyone enjoys.”

Walton assembled a team of masters to man the kitchen — and it shows.

Executive Chef Drew Dzejak first developed his skills as a professional chef at the age of 15, then went on to graduate

from Johnson & Wales with a degree in culinary arts. He worked at Belmond Charleston Place Hotel, Windsor Court Hotel and Palmetto Bluff, where fate seemed to put him in Walton’s path. Much like Dzejak, chef de cuisine Coleman Jernigan began his culinary journey at an early age. The New Orleans native has several areas of expertise, including bread baking, pastry arts, fine dining, casual dining and wholesale production.

The beverage side of the menu demonstrates a careful exploration of mixology that is both innovative and unique to The Citizen, created in collaboration with Christine Tarpey of Better Together Beverage.

“The cocktail menu offers a selection of creative libations organized by flavor profile — Bright and Fresh, Bold and Boozy and Classically Trained — that changes seasonally,” Walton said.

The menu also includes a “Zero Proof ” section for elevated mocktail creations utilizing distilled, nonalcoholic spirits. A curated wine and beer list is also available and features local craft beers.

Not Too Shabby

M

Marisol Gullo excels at the art of interior design

arisol Gullo has assumed various roles in her life, but if you were to assign her an archetype, it would be that of an artist.

She creates much of the art and furniture for sale at her Not Too Shabby stores, and she employs her artistic sensibilities when providing interior design and construction services.

Gullo knows her market. With stores in Miramar Beach and Inlet Beach, she’s attuned to an environment that is coastal, not just beachy. When she and her husband Tony opened Not Too Shabby, they set about distinguishing themselves from other interior design stores by adhering to a style that aligns with coastal culture and by putting an emphasis on art-forward furnishings.

The Gullos have long had a keen interest in homes and once owned their own construction company.

At that time, they also dabbled in curating and building custom pieces from materials that included

a 250-year-old door from Istanbul and 1,000-year-old cypress wood.

When the housing bubble burst in 2009, they decided to focus on retailing, interior design services and project management for remodels and new homes. In support of those operations, they have a 20,000-square-foot warehouse.

Their customers receive unparalleled service and enjoy immediate product availability.

Customers select furnishings off the design floor, and their orders are filled at the warehouse, enabling them to avoid months-long delays that can result from supply-chain issues.

“It’s satisfying to take a shell of a space and within days, turn it into something magazine-worthy,” Marisol Gullo said. “Through years of experience, we’ve been able to not only hone our skills, but innately know the coastal style that people want and that we are known for providing.”

Consistent with the character of the 30A corridor, Marisol has devised

custom paint finishes and represents the region through her art. In 2017, she was named South Walton Artist of the Year.

“I love the culture and the people here. There’s nowhere else like it,” Gullo said. “It’s a special place that can’t be replicated but can be represented through design. My goal is to engulf each client in the coastal life that’s on the outside, inside their homes.”

New Urbanism A Growing Coastal Trend

26 | Spring 2022

Northwest Florida’s Scenic 30A garners popularity for more than just its beaches

Seaside, Florda

NEW URBANISM

Once a rural, undiscovered expanse of sugar-sand paradise, the Florida Gulf Coast’s 30A corridor has now emerged as one of the most sought-after areas in which to live, vacation and invest. Yahoo Finance recently showcased 30A, reporting that “the small communities of Santa Rosa Beach, Rosemary Beach, Seaside and others ooze small-town charm yet still maintain the strengths of the industry, namely gorgeous beaches, delicious seafood and friendly locals. As more and more visitors desire authentic travel experience, places like 30A are well positioned to be great investments.” And Trip Advisor recently echoed the new nickname for the 30A area of Northwest Florida as the “Martha’s Vineyard of the South.”

Many credit the appearance and success of new urbanism. The planned community of Seaside sparked the trend in the early 1980s when its founders Daryl and Robert Davis enlisted the help of designers Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk to lay the groundwork for the idyllic community. They certainly set a high bar that each new development appears to raise.

Writer Jennifer Parker, of the University of Notre Dame School of Architecture, documents Seaside as the first new urban community, which she defines as “an argument against suburban sprawl,” and “the re-awakening of the American city.”

New urbanism principles state that, “a walkable, connected, mixed-use community will yield a better quality of life.” The full 30A coastline, especially in Walton County, has its roots in new urbanism. A coastline drive, shopping tour or art hop through Rosemary Beach, Watercolor, Alys Beach and others will dazzle the senses. Visitors and residents appreciate, in awe, the masterfully and intentionally developed communities based on new urbanism fundamentals.

Congress for the New Urbanism lists, among others, the following principles of new urbanism: � Walkable from the center of town to any edge in five minutes. �S treets are built for people using multiple forms of transportation: walking, biking, driving or public transportation. � Public spaces are crucial and should encourage interaction.

PHOTO BY MICHAEL DEMARCO ON UNSPLASH

� Developers use a collaborative approach in design to include engineers, appraisers, lenders, public works officials, community leaders and others. � Mixed-use properties are commonplace but aesthetically well appointed.

Now, the coastal towns of 30A have garnered national recognition for their design and natural beauty.

The Wall Street Journal clarifies the character of the Panhandle in its 2020 article, “The Emerald Coast Emerges as Florida’s Crown

Jewel.” Writer Beth DeCarbo explains that the Emerald Coast is a high-end, luxurious playground of yachts, visual and performing arts, private jets, and architectural masterpieces in lovely villages filled with down-to-earth locals and appreciative visitors and investors.

The 2021 Conde Nast Traveler Reader’s Choice Awards named Rosemary Beach’s The Pearl Hotel as the 10th top hotel in Florida.

Architectural Digest urges readers to explore Alys Beach, describing the development as, “a skyline of white stucco buildings that evokes Santorini, complete with sensuous curves and angled rooftops to punctuate blazing sunsets and perfect blue skies. Combine the luxurious hospitality of a posh resort with the friendly vibe of a low-key beach town.”

Multiple industry reports document the increased demand for Florida destinations “within driving distance,” spurring exploding popularity since the onset of the pandemic.

Walton County has experienced remarkable population growth and profitable growth of the real estate vacation rental markets. Along 30A, home prices appreciated 24% in 2021 following a similarly astounding appreciation of 23% in 2020.

The coastline of beachfront communities in Walton County shares many blessings beyond the eclectic yet cohesive beauty and daily convenience of new urbanism. The azure waves and tropical breeze soothes souls as they recline on clean beaches. Browsers and diners are dazzled by one-of-a-kind galleries and restaurants. Annual festivals and friendly locals welcome guests from all over the world. While they share many wonderful characteristics, the communities of 30A are each known for their unique offerings.

YOUR

Getaway AWAITS Keys to Packing a Beach-Bound Suitcase Photography by Lauren Athalia Modeling by Mary Tempesta, Allison Goetz

32 | Spring 2022

SPRING STYLE

TEM PERATURES ARE RIS IN G AT TH E B E AC H — warm spring sun, fresh air and beach chairs call.

We know you’ll soon be packing the car or hopping on a flight to seek a coastal respite. Emily Raffield, owner and designer for BECASA at 30Avenue, gives us her take on what makes a great beach-bound suitcase.

W H E R E TO B EG I N W H E N PAC K I N G FO R T H E B E AC H ?

Nothing should ever be too complicated at the beach — you’re coming here to relax and unwind, so packing should embrace that spirit. Your suitcase should be filled with things that make you happy and make your trip easier. Whatever you do, don’t overpack! Overpacking creates too many options when you really want to stay focused on having fun and getting back outside.

CoastalLuxury.com | 33

WHAT STYLE ADVICE CAN YO U SHAR E TO MAKE PAC K IN G EAS IER? I always say don’t forget to toss in your favorite pair of old jeans or jean shorts!

You know, that soft, worn pair that you love.

You’ll immediately feel relaxed and confident enough to match them with any top on hand.

Our Just Right Linen Tunic is an ideal pair with anything from jeans to a flowy skirt or even our Villa Linen Pants.

Choose your favorite sundress to slip on and head out for drinks and dinner. Something cotton and breezy is ideal for sunburned shoulders! Our Geneva Resort Dress is a fun and classic Indian block-print look that never goes out of style.

We love BECASA’s non-tarnish Spanish Gold Bangles and Isle Link Chain Necklaces and Charms for a beach trip.

You don’t have to worry about taking meticulous care of these pieces, but when stacked and layered, they make a statement and tie a look together. Even better, our colorful BECASA Beach Bangles are a waterproof jewelry dream.

34 | Spring 2022

SPRING STYLE

W H AT A R E YOUR BEACH BAG ESS E N T IAL S? I recommend packing two or three classic sarongs. I use them exclusively tied at the waist as swim cover-ups. When you come in from the beach or pool, simply sink-wash then air dry outside with your beach towels for an easy re-wear — so versatile! They can even be used as a makeshift towel or beach blanket in a pinch.

Bring a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses. Your time is limited when you’re in town visiting, and you always want to maximize time spent at the beach. Sunscreen can only do so much, so be mindful and bring a shady hat and a few pairs of sunshades to mix and match.

An oversized straw tote or durable beach bag will be your best friend for the season. They are easy to toss your beach essentials in and go. A bag made of palm straw is a great lightweight option that can be rinsed and air dried on the porch at the end of the summer.
