It took me 11 hours. I55 south to Jackson MS, 49 to hattiesburg...then 98 all the way to Destin BABY!!
The drive from Destin, FL to Rosemary Beach, FL is approximately 46 (responsible and legal driving on average) covering 33.2 miles if you follow the FL-30 going east, and then US-98 going east. I suggest getting directions from Google Maps if you don't know the way.
What is the half way point between Marion Ill. and Destin Florida
One way to find a listing of vacation rentals in Destin, Florida is to check online sites like FlipKey, Destin Getaways and HomeAway. One can also contact Destin's tourism and request a vacation rental guide be mailed out.
The best way to find beach rentals in Destin, Florida would be to speak to a travel agent. Rentals are not commonly advertised like hotels and resorts so it may be more difficult to find one online.
Interstate 95
getting a four wheel drive would help a lot
If you don't drive, the best way is by train
I think the beaches are nice in both places. Destin may be a little nicer but it is way more crowded than Gulf Shores.
"Best" is a matter of opinion, and there is no real way to answer the question.
carefully
Drive slower.
