About Owner

My name is Rick Smith and I'm your host. I'm joined by my wife Marlene and her sister Karen Karlinski. We came to Destin for a vacation ourselves, absolutely fell in love and within 6 months we had purchased our first property! We formed RedNeck Riviera so we could share all that the Emerald Coast has to offer. We now have 3 beautiful and inviting properties. We have R-Riveria 309, located in the beautiful Grand Caribbean East condominium complex perched at the doorstep of Destin’s amazing Crystal Beach. We have Sandprint Sunset A8 in Miramar Beach, less than 2 blocks from the public beach, and right down the road from Pompano Joe's popular tourist restaurant. Dolphin reef is nearby for snorkeling. Or choose Batchelors Button 82, a 2 story townhome for a more private whole home feel, your own backyard and right next to the community pool. Just a few blocks walk to our private beach access. We are sure that one of these properties will fit all of your needs!

Let us know if we can do anything to make your stay/vacation more enjoyable. We hope you have a fantastic and memorable time at the Emerald Coast, there is nothing else like it in the world!!!
 

Welcome,
Rick and Marlene Smith
