Why the Owner Chose Summerhouse
We absolutely fell in love with Destin, as you will too. It was undiscovered when we first set eyes on it and now the world knows about it and we want to share it with you.
The Unique Benefits at this Townhouse
Awesome convenient beach location
Owner's Map of Summerhouse
We first discovered Destin in the early 1980's and fell in love with it. I moved there from 1991- 2002, what a wonderful experience. Today I travel back and forth from Indiana to Destin at least 4 times a year to work on the rentals and see my father who still lives there. It will always be my second home and I have no desire to ever go anywhere else in Florida but Destin. You will see what I mean. I have many good friends there that I treasure and wonderful memories and many more good times I hope to have.
We are a hands on type of family and do most the work ourselves including the renting of the units. We can be more flexible on price versus a property management company that charges the high fees to the owners that pass those prices onto the renters.
I am a Realtor in Indiana and still hold a Florida real estate license and I have been renting my families units since 1993. There are no worries for you, I will get you a professional confirmation emailed to you asap, with detailed policies and directions. My father is there to collect the rent and make sure all goes smooth sailing there. In 16 years I have had but a handful of issues that were resolved quickly and fairly. Please give me a call I am sure you will be glad you did. Please call my cell at 812-208-7800 for any questions you may have.

I am so thrilled about how wonderful this townhouse looks after spending 3 weeks redecorating with new paint and berber carpet. Has a plush new kingsize bed, new Kenmore white appliances, and gas grill and just an exceptional value. Enjoy! Jody
