It is one of 16 distinct beach neighborhoods in South Walton County. South Walton County is famous for it's scenic beauty, turquoise waters and sugar sand beaches and labeled by Travel & Leisure Magazine as one of the "Best Beaches on Earth" for families. 'Miles Away' is a quick golf cart or bike ride to the beach, restaurants, or shopping.

Our home, 'Miles Away' is named after Miles, our second child who was born in Jacksonville, off the East coast of Florida. From his crystal blue eyes to his love of water, adventure and travel, came the inspiration for the name of our beautiful beach home. With plenty of room to have your own space but yet cozy enough to enjoy visiting with friends and family, we hope you find our home a time to reset and relax and have the feeling of being a million "miles away". Enjoy your stay!
