Convenient location
Location was great not too far from the ocean and white sandy beaches and it does sleep a lot of people. I rated the add a 3 because it sounds like the pool comes heated but it is an additional 350.00 to have the pool heated. Like I said it does sleep a lot of people but the stair situation is narrow spiral staircase leading to the two bedrooms upstairs. I think that it is really hard to tell from photos what you are getting. We have stayed in many VRBOs throughout the years and sometimes I am impressed and other times disappointed that I did not do enough research before booking. Neighbors were great and overall it was a quiet street. Everyone runs their business/rentals differently and that’s ok and now I know the questions and clarification to get before booking.

Vacation
The house was great we had a wonderful time. The owner was very quick to respond to any issues. The only complaint I have is it’s listed with a heated pool but that was an extra cost. It should be listed heated pool optional cost. Otherwise great location plenty of room. The grandkids were in the pool all day and it was very close to the beach. I would definitely rent again.

Destin Holiday
Jan and Jim were fantastic! Our communication was great. When an unexpected problem with the water heater came up they were on it right away and even made one of their other properties available for showers and a hot tub while the water heater was repaired. The house was perfect for our family of 11. Would definitely consider this home again or another place hosted by Jan.

Welcome to Gulf Breeze Vacations! We have three 5b beach houses that are steps to the ocean: Southern Sands, Ocean Retreat Villa & Beach Walk Retreat.
I'm Jan - lover of food, travel, exercise and meeting new people. I am a mom of 22 year old twins and 2 cats. I am originally from the sound, then moved to Atlanta; and now I spend most of my time in Destin.
I look forward to sharing our beach house with you and your family/friends! Our goal is for you to have a memorable vacation! If it is your first time to Destin, we can assist you.
