Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2004
We bought our villa in 2004 so we would have a place to go with our family. We pride ourselves in treating our renters how we would want to be treated. Also, our villa is exactly how we would want a rental we rent to be - clean, updated and comfortable! We live only one hour away in Gulf Breeze and manage the villa ourselves.
Why the Owner Chose Beach House
Destin has SO MUCH to do! We love to relax on the front porch and watch the dolphins and beautiful boats passing by. There's also lots of great restaurants and shopping. We have our own web site with a list of TOP TEN THINGS TO DO IN DESTIN.
The Unique Benefits of this Beach House
One on one contact - with the OWNERS! The villa is unique in that you can have two familes rent the entire 4 bedrooms and have separate and complete condos at the same time with a lock out capability.

Laura & Greg, We had the best time in your villa. We are so sad to leave tomorrow. Your villa is perfect. Between the ocean and the lake, each one of us always had something wonderful to do. The guys fished everyday and caught over 100 fish. They released them all except the ones a friendly heron snatched. :) This was our first time in Destin, but after crusin the whole area, we think we stayed in the best spot. We spent more time on the front balcony than anywhere else. The view is ever changing and always interesting. Thank you for a restful week. Phil and Pam Melkowski and Hans & Lou Recker (my parents)

I just had to write to tell you what a wonderful time we had in Destin - the kids had the best week of their lives' last week. Your villa is truly a special place, it is perfect! We came away last week with some new friends (from upstairs) that we will know the rest of our lives; they are wonderful people with a great family. We have started saving for next year already! Not sure we can wait that long however! Thank you so much for letting us share your Villa, we will never forget that week. Dave Goodfriend and family

We had a wonderful time. It was hard to leave. The condo was very nice, nicer than I expected really. Sometimes when you book something over the internet it's not as nice as it appeared, but in this case, it was above expectations. I will recommend your place if I hear of anyone going to Destin. Thanks!!!

Even thought we wrote you both a message in your guest book at the Villa, I just wanted to take a minute and express how very much we enjoyed your Villa. What a great location and the views are so peaceful and relaxing. We had a wonderful time and would come back in a heart beat when we can get some more time away. That bed in the master is wonderful, you feel like you're sleeping on clouds.

Just wanted to send you a few lines to let you know how much we enjoyed our week in your villa, "What a view". We started our day on the balcony drinking coffee and ended it there with a glass of wine, it was perfect. My husband and I even saw dolphins one morning. To make our week even more memorable my daughter got engaged the Friday night before we left, he proposed to her on the beach, I can't think of a better place. I signed your book while we were there but I wanted to take a few minutes to let you know what a great time it was, we will definately be back hopefully next year!
