About the host
Hosted by Sherry Richardson
I retired in 2012 from a 30 year career as a police officer. I live in Ohio and have travelled to WatersEdge for 12 years to vacation with friends and family. My dream has been to buy a condo at WatersEdge and that dream came true in 2018.
I currently own a business in Ohio and spend as much time, as my business will allow, on the white, sandy beach at WatersEdge.

Why they chose this property
When I cross the bridge from Fort Walton to Okaloosa Island and see the tower with “Emerald Coast” painted on it, I feel like the weight of the world has been lifted off my shoulders! There is no other place I would rather be when I need to relax. It is truly my HAPPY PLACE.
What makes this property unique
The benefits are unlimited. The weather, the local people, the food, the sand, and the sunsets are just a few. I love having coffee in the morning while watching the dolphins bob in the surf. An adult beverage and the most brilliant colored sunsets can’t be beat!
