Ahhh, La Mariposa (the butterfly) at the Inn at Gulf Place in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, just a few miles from the precious beach communities of Seaside (location of "The Truman Show",) Seagrove Beach, Grayton Beach, Rosemary Beach, Watercolor and more. It's all about soothing your spirit. You've been dreaming... longing to smell the salt air, feel the white powdery sand between your toes, gaze into the most incredible color of turquoise gulf water, ever... as you let it pool around your aching feet. Oh, a week would calm that soul which desperately needs a respite, but... even a weekend escape might be all that's needed... After all, it's only a few hours drive or flight to experience a total renewal of all the senses on one of the most highly acclaimed beaches in the US. You'll begin your day by slowly waking and stepping out onto one of your two balconies to witness beautiful ocean views from your fourth floor(top floor)condo. You'll throw on something comfy and take the elevator down to a precious, intimate, unique blend of shops and restaurants, walking paths with "pooch stations", pools and jacuzzis... and for those active guests, a tennis court is on premises as well as a bike or kayak rental from Butterfly Bikes. That first morning might be the perfect morning for a rich latte and freshly-made giant cinnamon bun from Miss Lucille's Gossip Parlor (you've decided to save "My Daddy's Cheesecake") for the next morning or lunch time. After breakfast, a leisurely stroll through the Artist's Shops and a peek into the chic clothing and home decor boutiques. On your stroll (did you bring your "fluffy" best buddy?) you notice Ocean Elements Day Spa and pop in to schedule an afternoon facial and massage. Back to La Mirsposa to change into your swimsuit as the white sandy beach and turquoise gulf beckones you from a few steps away. As you toss a towel on the sand, the morning sun and sounds of the waves begins to miraculously lift that stress up and away, like a butterfly. Thoughts of lunch in a few hours begin to flutter in your head and place a smile on lips... Will it be Smiling Fish Cafe to enjoy their outdoor "al fresco" dining, perhaps a gourmet pizza and beer on the large covered patio at Amore Pizza or luscious sandwiches and desserts at My Daddy's Cheesecake? No pressure... you'll just take it as it comes. Back to La Mariposa for a power nap as the breeze from the ceiling fans embrace you as you nestle in the fresh sheets of king-size bed. After all, this is what you've been dreaming of... and you've found your ideal vacation spot... you're own paradise... all in one convenient location. Like a butterfly, you'll want to savor the sweet nectar of all Gulf Place Town Center has to offer, at your own pace, on you're own schedule. If you are looking for the ideal vacation spot where you can have the best of all worlds, activity and the hustle/bustle when you want them, but privacy, space and relaxation when you desire, then La Mariposa at Gulf Place is your dream vacation destination.
