This lovely cottage was beautifully updated and remodeled in June 2007. The designer furnishings, bright open floor plan, modern appliances, and peaceful rear deck combine to make a wonderful vacation escape. The rear deck overlooks Montecito creek, and is shaded by 200 year old sycamore trees. It is an easy stroll to both Miramar Beach and Hammond's Beach.
