    "Fun to do in the Longwood Subdivision: Birdwatching, pet walking, golf cart driving, fishing from the park pier, launching a boat. Sunsets from the house are breath-taking and the neighborhood is very quiet. Shalimar has several very nice restaurants and a large grocery store across the Shalimar bridge. The area located on the edge of Eglin Air Force Base."
