Why the Owner Chose Southbay by the Gulf
My husband and I have been snorkeling and scuba diving for many years. We also enjoy swimming and shell collecting as a family. Our favorite place to vacation was the caribbean. When we moved to the Atlanta area from Orlando, we discovered that the beaches of Destin were as beautiful as the caribbean and an easy drive from the Atlanta area. We have been vacationing in Destin for 10 years. It is now a family tradition full of memories.
We insisted that our property be in a very family oriented development. We fell in love with Southbay as it captures the charm of old Florida and has the feel of a cottage, not a hotel room. Guests comment on how "relaxed and at home" they feel.
The Unique Benefits at this Townhome
We enjoy having a private beach and pool less than two minutes from our doorstep. A private patio to grill delicious family dinners and a small garden in which to putter. We can hear the ocean from our doorstep and enjoy long evening walks on the beach.
Our development is quiet and tucked back by the ocean yet we can be at any other location in Destin in 10 minutes or less.

Owner's Map of Southbay by the Gulf
Hello! My name is Diane and I am the owner/manager of a beautiful townhouse that we call "Seaside Serenity". I am a mom and an artist. Our family loves the beach, swimming in the ocean, building sand castles and taking long walks.
I enjoy volunteering in my community. I am an educator and volunteer for the Georgia House Rabbit Society. This is an organization that runs a rescue shelter for domestic rabbits. In our home we have two rabbits of our own and foster two adoptable rabbits.
The thing I love the best about owning rental property is the wonderful guests and neighbors that I have gotten to know over the years. People that I otherwise would not have met. We are very fortunate to have a large number of repeat guests.
