Many "creature comforts" pack out this Florida Cottage. Shop at designer outlet malls, play on championship golf courses, go deep sea fishing, para sail, rent mopeds and motorcycles, explore the coast, take in a movie, dine at gourmet restaurants. Do it ALL!!!
"USA Today" rated our Miramar Beach #1. Noncommercial pristine beaches are 50 yards wide, boast beautifully protected sand dunes, contain extra wide sandbars, and extend in both directions as far as you can see. At sunset, the Gulf transforms into a vibrant array of tantalizing pinks, opulent oranges, iridescent blues, and velvety violets while the sun slowly sinks into the Southwestern horizon.
