About Santa Rosa Beach's Driftwood Estates

Today was 'Open House' day for the house I showed you on Choctawhatchee Bay. The weather this morning was beautiful, save for a little too much humidity. Then came a few droplets, then the winds, then the torrential downpour. It's just another of those wonderful reasons to live on the northwest Florida gulf coast. The picture is taken from inside looking out against the wind. In fact, during this moment a 'Tornado Warning' was being reported by the national weather service. We're safe and sound, hope our neighbors are!

The next picture was taken moments later, but not through a window.

This sign greets you at the entrance to Driftwood Estates, located approximately four miles north of the Sacred Heart Hospital at the intersection of Highway 98 and Mack Bayou Road. Driftwood Estates is the northernmost tip of the peninsula into Choctawhatchee Bay. The young development is convenient to shopping and restaurants on the new Grand Boulevard, and is also near the Gulf of Mexico at the Topsail State Park. Many homes were constructed here during the development frenzy of 2003-2005. Driftwood Estates is a great community and an excellent area to find a wonderful Florida home at a great price.
