Ocean Reef Resorts, Destin, Fl, Billi Willi

The front terrace has a robust rosemary bush—bring those recipes—as well as a shady bower of scrub oak and magnolia. With a million dollar renovation in 2007, this classic beachfront home is striking, with its Mexican tile, vaulted ceilings, Murano glass kitchen accents and an abundance of Gulf-front windows. The living room, dining room and kitchen face the Gulf. High ceilings give an airy feeling and the climate-controlled porch along the length of the living room is the ultimate in comfort. With its own TV, you can multi-task here: watch a ball game, read the paper and sip a cool one, all the while keeping an eye on the beach scene. Open decks to either side are ideal for soaking up the sun. All three bedrooms face the Gulf, and the bunkroom is reminiscent of a trains Pullman berths—each has curtains and each has its own TV—kid heaven after a busy beach day. Solitude and privacy are givens in this unique South Walton neighborhood, yet the busy outside world of restaurants, shopping, golf, tennis and medical care are just two minutes away. Four Mile Village: The name comes from the navigation marker Four Mile Point, on Choctawhatchee Bay, where Sandestin Resort, Mack Bayou and fourteen acres of Creek Nation property are now located. The 300-acre beachside property was purchased in the early 1940s by John and Dorothy Coffeen, but wasnt used privately until 1946, as the Army Air Force requested its use for an important military mission during WWII. JB-2 missiles , the American version of the German V-1 or buzz bomb were tested here. Four bunkers, two missile ramps, armament rails and assorted concrete foundations and asphalt roads or runways remain. produced by Brett Martin Productions http://www.brettervideo.com/
