Celebrities enjoy a low key and luxurious vacation just like the rest of us. The Emerald Coast and The Beaches of South Walton are host to many A-listers  on a regular basis. In fact, we’ll let you in on a little secret - Five Star Beach Properties has had many celebrity guests stay at our luxury vacation rentals! And while area residents and visitors are used to seeing Emeril, Governor Mike Huckabee, and Sheryl Crowe, more and more celebrities are finding their way to our beautiful, sugar white sand beaches. According to recent reports, Katie Holmes and her daughter Suri spent Memorial Day Weekend in Rosemary Beach. The actress and her family were seen at the beach and shopping at a number of local boutiques, including Duckies Shop of Fun in Seaside. Katie and her daughter kept to themselves, and locals and visitors alike gave them their space- hopefully making then feel comfortable and welcome -so they will come back. In addition to a number of college and professional football players and coaches, the Emerald Coast is a favorite vacation spot for country crooners. Who can forget the trouble Jason Aldean caused last year by disregarding the safety flags? Other A-listers who have visited the panhandle recently include Ashley Tisdale, Jerry Jones, and supermodel Elle McPherson. Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, Britney Spears, and Courtney Cox are also regulars in and around town. Hoping for your own great “I saw him when†story? Word has it that up and coming country artist Chick Wicks will be in town this week, shooting his new video, The Salt Life, in and around Destin Harbor and the beaches this week!
