Enjoy the vacation of a lifetime on Florida's beautiful Emerald Coast. You'll love it here!

Creole Plantation and Creole Cottage are in the new beachfront community of Rosemary Beach, located on Florida's scenic Hwy 30A halfway between Destin and Panama City. Designed as a "destination" beach town, the "pedestrian" concept is similar to Seaside (eight miles west), and was designed by the same town planners. The Cottages are south of scenic Hwy 30A and centrally located between the beach, playground, pool, and tennis courts. The Cottages can be rented together or separately.
