The famed stretch that passes through Pensacola to Destin will find its stopping point, at least for a few glorious days, at the hidden oasis of Hotel Effie, in Sand Destin

Palm trees grace the outside of the building, letting each guest know they have arrived at Miramar Beach in Florida. Walking into the modern lobby, thick, dark wood beams stand out against the lightly colored ceiling. Spots of soft blue seating and various artworks illuminate against the contemporary feel. The welcome cocktail, provided with the spa package, was simply incredible. It was a craveable balance of refreshing mint with a hint of flavor fun.

Modern, well-crafted chandeliers glisten throughout the hotel, reflecting off the quartz surfaces, bringing light to the muted color furnishings. Textures in the curtains and plant pots reference beautiful, pale shells found along the shore Wall art and rugs reflect ocean waves and oyster shells.

Finishing his first piece the day he turned 21, back in 2007, his art is heavily influenced by the beach he grew up near. Each resin-based piece gives reference to the shape and colors of waves and oyster shells. The hotel supports many local artists, displaying around the hotel their creations reflecting the beautiful beach ecosystem. Local musicians occasionally gift the hotel with beautiful sounds of varying genres.
