Driftwood Estates, Santa Rosa Beach, coastal living at its best

Driftwood Estates is a little-known jewel in the crown of coastal living. Located in Santa Rosa Beach on Choctawhatchee Bay, only minutes from the Gulf of Mexico, Driftwood Estates enjoys boating, fishing, biking, convenient shopping, restaurants, a new hospital, several inland lakes, and a county party currently under construction. Watching the dolphin frolic in the bay is a daily ritual in Driftwood.

Driftwood Estates is the tip of a peninsula extending north into Choctawhatchee Bay. Driftwood lies five miles north from the Gulf of Mexico adjacent to the Sandestin Resort. Topsail State Park, Sacred Heart Hospital, shops and restaurants of the Grand Boulevard, and the beaches of the Gulf of Mexico are all conveniently located within minutes of Driftwood Estates.

Located four miles east of the Mid-Bay Bridge, residents enjoy spectacular sunrises, sunsets, and a pleasant breeze all year round.

Driftwood Estates is a peaceful mix of quality modern homes by Wayne Adams, and many spectacular bay front estate homes on the perimeter shoreline.

With the arrival of the new Sacred Heart Hospital, a large number of new homes were constructed in the general vicinity of the new hospital, too many for the market to absorb so quickly. With that swing of the pendulum, Driftwood Estates became a bargain-hunter's paradise, but it won't last forever, nor will these unbelievable interest rates.

To visit Driftwood Estates, take Mac Bayou Road north at the Sacred Heart Hospital intersection on Emerald Coast Parkway. You will come to two ‘Stop' signs, turn left at both ‘Stop' signs. This brings you into Driftwood Estates.
