Meet the Harned Family
“We are so blessed to have landed in Destin over 20 years ago. The Destin community was so welcoming and we consider this our forever home now! I guess you could say, by now, we are locals!
We have been incredibly fortunate to be able to raise our youngest boys, Court and Cage, here and are even more thrilled that our oldest sons, Dr. Kahle Harned and his wife, Dara, as well as Corey Harned, have decided to make Destin their home as well!”
