One-Week Stay in Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort
Settle in with your piece of Coastal Southern charm at this four-bedroom, two-bath single family home nestled in the tranquil bayside neighborhood of Crystal Lake. The Sandestin bayside boasts spectacular panoramic views of Choctawhatchee Bay, framed by Florida pines and the fairways of The Links Golf Course. A quiet enclave that fronts the largest span of bayside property in Northwest Florida, the bayside neighborhood recalls a time that moved at a slower pace: kids casting into ponds, families pedaling along meandering bike paths, and new neighbors waving to each other from porches and broad lawns. This home includes a master with king bed and bath, 2 guest rooms with a queen bed and a fourth guestroom with 2 twin beds. This beautiful home also includes a six-passenger golf cart for you to easily take advantage of all that Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort has to offer.

Untitled
36”x 36” Mixed Media Oil and Acrylic
Artist Cissy Prewitt rarely begins a painting with something in mind. She works in layers of paint, creating luminous color and texture. The outcome is often unpredictable, and she says, always a learning process. Her abstract paintings are statements evolving from personal experiences in her life. By not being bound by any realistic representations, she can communicate her feelings, gratitude, faith, and past through her work. She says her paintings often give a glimpse into her life, a reflection of herself.
