Fun fact: Walt Disney almost bought the land for this little idea he was tinkering around with called “Disney World.” His plans moved forward, but just a bit further south.

This stunning property along the Emerald Coast of Florida features over 1,000 households with full-time residents. It also boasts the Village of Baytowne Wharf — a beautiful 28-acre waterfront town center peppered with a collection of unique shops, charming eateries, lively nightclubs and year-round special events. New luxury property Hotel Effie was built and conceptualized by the owner’s daughter, Sara Becnel, who named the hotel after her great grandmother. Hotel Effie offers luxury services at Spa Lilliana, quick-stop coffee and pastry shop Sweetbay, and Gulf Coast-inspired dining by James Beard winner chef Hugh Acheson at Ovide, his first restaurant in Florida.
