Meet Miranda Vaughn
Global Real Estate Advisor
Miranda Vaughn first dipped her toes in the Gulf Coast sands at just six weeks old and somehow always knew this special stretch of shoreline would one day be more than just a place to vacation. Years later, it was here on these same beautiful beaches where she and her husband first met, proving the area even more meaningful to them both.
Before relocating here in 2023, she was a lifelong resident of Walton County, Georgia, just outside of Athens. Miranda spent over a decade as a middle and high school teacher before beginning her journey as a homeschool mom to her daughters. In 2021, she and her husband purchased their first short-term rental property along the coast, sparking both a deeper love for the area and an understanding of the investment side of real estate. Two years later, they made the leap and relocated to the Emerald Coast full time, turning what had always felt like a second home into their everyday reality.
During that time, Miranda and her husband also bought and sold several properties, experiences that made her transition into a professional career both natural and rewarding. Today, she is licensed and actively practicing real estate in both Florida and Georgia, offering her clients expertise across two dynamic markets
Today, Miranda brings a teacher’s patience, a mother’s care, and an investor’s eye to her work in real estate. She thrives on helping clients clarify their goals, whether they’re searching for the perfect home, an investment property, or ready to build their dreams. Known for her attentiveness and ability to make each step of the process feel approachable, she believes every client deserves to feel confident, supported, and understood when making one of life’s biggest decisions.
When she’s not with clients, you can find Miranda boating at Shell Island, swimming in the Gulf, or connecting with other local agents at networking events. Being involved in the community, not only as a trusted professional, but also as a friend is a role she values deeply.

Beaches
I’ve always loved the quiet magic of St. Andrews State Park, walking its shaded dunes, watching the sunlight dance across the Gulf, and breathing in that salty breeze on a warm afternoon. There is something calming about the old pine trees meeting the shoreline and the way the water’s edge changes throughout the day.
And then there is Shell Island, an absolute favorite escape. When I boat over to Shell Island it feels like stepping into a peaceful world all its own. The clear water, the gentle waves, the shells lining the sand, it is where I go to reset and remember why this coastline means so much to me.
No matter where I am along the shore, one thing is certain: I never miss a sunset. Watching the sky melt into brilliant colors over the Gulf is a daily reminder of how lucky I am to call this place home.
These are not just pretty places I visit, they are part of the story I share with clients. Because I have felt the soft sand underfoot and seen those colors change from dawn to dusk, I understand what draws people here. I am always happy to guide you to your own piece of beach life, somewhere you will love just as much.
Trails
When I need a change of pace from the water, I head straight to the trails, especially those tucked inside St. Andrews State Park. Walking beneath the pines, with glimpses of dunes and water along the way, feels just as calming as the beach itself. It’s one of my favorite places to slow down and reconnect with nature.
I also love Gayle’s Trails for an easy, shaded walk or bike ride. It’s peaceful, uncrowded, and perfect for quiet mornings or afternoons when I want fresh air without the rush. These trails are part of what makes life here feel balanced, blending beautiful coastlines with natural spaces you can enjoy year-round.
Breakfast
Breakfast is one of my favorite rituals here, especially when I’m spending a slow morning with my family at Andy’s Flour Power. It’s the kind of place that feels easy and familiar, where we can share a good meal and start the day together without rushing.
For a classic breakfast outing, I love Canopy Road Cafe. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and it’s a great spot to settle in, enjoy good conversation, and ease into the day with all the breakfast favorites done right.
And when I want something a little special, Blue Mountain Bakery is always worth the drive. Their blueberry scone is a must, and the fresh pastries, incredible bread, and charming atmosphere make it a favorite stop whenever I’m nearby. These spots are part of what makes mornings here feel unhurried, and they’re always the first recommendations I share with clients
Coffee
Good coffee is non-negotiable for me, and Sunrise Cafe is one of my favorite morning stops. Their café con leche is perfection, whether I’m in the mood for it hot or iced. It’s smooth, comforting, and exactly what I want before the day really begins.
When summer heat takes over, Black Bear Coffee is a must. The iced Bear Latte is my go-to on hot days, refreshing, strong, and always hits the spot. These are the places I keep coming back to, the kind that quietly become part of my routine.
Lunch
Lunch for me is usually quick, but it’s always something I genuinely enjoy. Perfect Pig is a favorite when I want something hearty and satisfying without feeling heavy. Their salads are filling, flavorful, and consistently delicious, and the staff is always attentive and accommodating, making even a short lunch feel easy and unrushed. It’s the kind of place that feels familiar in the best way.
I also love Prema Cafe for their Buddha bowls and fresh juices when I’m in the mood for something clean and nourishing. The menu feels thoughtful and unique, and the staff is just as welcoming, always happy to customize and keep things moving on busy days. Their collagen PB protein balls are a staple for me and keep me fueled while I’m out showing homes and moving between appointments. Each spot has its own personality, and together they perfectly balance comfort, wellness, and convenience
Dinner
Dinner is how the day comes together. One of my favorite spots is Idyll Hound Proper, where Southern influence meets coastal flavor and the menu always feels thoughtful and well executed. The miso mushroom bowl is a standout for me, rich and comforting without being heavy, and exactly the kind of dish I crave at the end of the day.
When I’m in Seaside, sunsets at Bud & Alley’s are a must. It’s one of those places that never loses its charm, especially when the Gulf puts on a show. For family celebrations, Shan Kishi is our go-to. Every birthday and milestone seems to happen there, and it’s become a tradition we all look forward to.
And if we’re heading in straight from the beach, sandy and sun-kissed, it’s always Schooners. Timing it with their nightly cannon blast at sunset never gets old and somehow makes dinner feel even more fun. Each of these spots pairs traditional seafood with gourmet flair, creating settings that are relaxed, lively, and unmistakably coastal.
Shopping
Shopping here fits every mood and every schedule. Pier Park is where I go when everyone needs options in one place. Between department and discount stores, national brands, and locally owned boutiques, it’s easy to shop for the whole family and still enjoy a meal or a stroll while you’re there.
When I’m looking for something more elevated, Grand Boulevard is my choice for polished, higher-end pieces and more formal needs. And for great deals on brands I actually wear, Silver Sands Premium Outlets never disappoints. It’s my go-to for staples, seasonal updates, and checking a lot off the list at once.
For a more local, small-business feel, I love Amor Boutique and Still Waters Boutique. Both carry some of my favorite capsule pieces I own to date, thoughtfully curated, easy to wear, and perfect for Florida living. These are the shops where I always find something special and keep coming back.
For the Kids
Keeping families entertained here is easy. In fact, most days it feels more like play than planning. Race City and Coconut Creek Family Fun Park are always wins for go-karts and mini golf. There’s something about racing laps or sinking the final putt that brings out everyone’s competitive side.
Getting out on the water together is another must for our family, especially cruising on the catamaran with Island Time Adventures. Snorkeling, spotting dolphins along the way, and soaking up the views never gets old. When we return, evenings often roll right into music nights at The Dock, which makes the whole day feel like an experience instead of just an outing.
And when everyone wants options, 810 Entertainment checks all the boxes with bowling, arcade games, and a milkshake bar that somehow becomes the highlight every single time. It’s easy, fun, and perfect for days when everyone wants to do something different but still be together.
