Year Purchased: 2002
Why the Owner Chose Terra Cotta Terrace
Destin was such a family oriented area to vacation and the beaches are absolutely gorgeous.
Owner's Map of Terra Cotta Terrace
Our journey began in late 2002 when we purchased our first vacation home called Tropical Breeze. We entered this adventure with open minds thinking we would purchase a home, hang on to it for five years, sell and then upgrade to a larger home we would eventually move into. We vacationed in Destin when our busy schedules permitted us to and we would take our shoes off from the time we arrived, and they stayed off until we left. Our days were spent at the beach burying our sons in the sand and enjoying the summer breezes. We felt this was a joy everyone should experience. The only way this could happen was to share our vacation home with others. The response from our guests was so overwhelming that we found ourselves turning families away. With additional planning and a lot of prayer, we purchased Tropical Paradise and Tropical Dreams in 2004. In 2005 we purchased Tropical Escape. Six years and four vacation homes later (2008), we have finally move to Destin.

Your home is beautiful! The beaches, shopping and weather were perfect. We enjoyed long walks on the beach and just vegged out most of the time. We look forward to visiting Destin next year. Thanks for sharing paradise (Tropical Breeze).

We came down to visit my family, the Reigers. We decided to rent this in FL instead of going to each other's place for Christmas. We are in the Air Force so we haven't seen them for a year and a half. The weather was pretty good, the place is beautiful - we had a great time.

A single week is not long enough. We are just starting to enjoy the area, and there is so much to do. I actually think we were lucky with the weather as the cold Christmas kept us all inside. This was our first Christmas ever with Jessica's "new" husband Mike. This was a wonderful location for our reunion & Christmas. Thanks.

We have just returned from our wonderful "Christmas on the Beach" holiday in your lovely home. We feel fortunate to have found your "perfect" place for our first Christmas away from our family home. The weather was cold at times, but warm enough, often enough, for us to enjoy the beautiful Destin beach. Thank you again for sharing your wonderful home. We made lifetime memories!

Thank you so much for letting our family rent your vacation home. We had a great time and your house is gorgeous. The grill was super. We used it to grill chicken and hamburgers! We made the neighborhood smell pretty good!
