This contemporary beach house is located on Miramar Beach along a five-mile stretch of white sand beach. Just steps from the sand, the emphasis here is on the back-to-nature and solitude of beachside living. Natural pine, wicker furniture, skylights and gentle breezes through open windows to the sea blend freshly creating a peaceful serenity. Most rooms have private decks with unobstructed views of the ocean, or you can warm yourself beside a glowing fire while sipping wine or cider and sampling tasty hors d’oeuvres.
