The pool was awesome, and the home had tons of pool and beach toys, floaties, and sand toys… the provided wagon made beach trips incredibly convenient.

This was the perfect house for our family to all stay at together. The pool was a bit dirty when we got there from the wind blowing stuff in it but we contacted the host and he sent the pool cleaning company the very next morning. He was very easy to communicate and work with!
We had a wonderful stay at Southern Breeze and couldn’t have been happier with our experience. The home was spotless, beautifully maintained, and exactly as described—if not better. The space was comfortable and welcoming, with thoughtful touches that made it feel like a true home away from home.The location was perfect, steps to the beach, and a peaceful atmosphere. Everything we needed was easily accessible, and we really appreciated how well-equipped the home was for our stay. The heated pool was a bonus!Communication with the host, Mitch was excellent—responsive, kind, and helpful from start to finish. It made the whole process smooth and stress-free.We would absolutely stay again and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway.
Great location near the beach - an easy walk for everyone and the kids. The pool area is fantastic and had everything we needed. Quick and great communication with the management. Location to restaurants and shopping was nice too. Overall, a great stay!
This house was absolutely perfect for my family's vacation! It fit us all very well, the pool and outdoor kitchen were extremely nice, and the walk to the beach was quick and enjoyable. We had the best time and would highly recommend this property.
Great location - short walk to the beach and 30A. The house is beautiful and spacious. The pool is amazing. Wonderful vacation - definitely booking for same time next year.
Our family of 9 (3 young children) had a great time in Destin. This local is perfect-close to beach, Publix and restaurants. Pool was amazing. We spent afternoons swimming. Great pool area, lots of space. Definitely will be back!
The house was more than enough room for our family. The stay was amazing and the heated is a plus. The house comes with supplies which made our stay even more incredible. We will definitely stay here again.
Great location. Communication with Mitch was excellent. House was well stocked, better than any we’ve stayed at. Lots of beach chairs, toys etc.pool was very nice to have with family and kids. Overall excellent property.
Great play to stay for a beach getaway! We enjoyed our stay here very much. The home was clean and comfortable with all the amenities we needed including laundry, a well stocked kitchen, and plenty of towels. The outdoor pool area was perfect and included an outdoor shower and bathroom, plenty of outdoor seating and a grill station with sink and mini fridge. The location was great as well, in close proximity to the beach as well as several dining and grocery options. If you stay here be sure to go to Camille’s!
We loved this house. It was perfect for our trip. We had my brother and his wife and myself and 9 children between us. All the children really injoyed the pool and being so close to the ocean.

We are so glad everyone enjoyed the house and hope to host y'all again soon.
The house location was great. My family was satisfied with all the amenities and all the extra toys for the kids was a plus. Enjoyed the pool great size for a large group. We are looking forward to our next vacation!
We really enjoyed the rental. Home was clean an stocked with many extras that we didn’t have to worry about packing or buying. Owner was friendly and very responsive. Location was perfect.
GREAT location!!! House was big enough for everyone, nicely decorated and had everything you needed, and the pool was perfect!!
Mitch was amazing to work with, quick responses and very helpful with information or answers!
Thank you Mitch for making our stay stress free!
This is the perfect place to stay. It was very comfortable, easy to communicate with the host and very very clean.
My family enjoyed the pool with the pool side kitchen and all the pool items that are for your use . Thank You !
The home was just what it appeared to be in the photos. It was such a quick walk to the beach, without having to pay an insane amount in price to be directly on the beach. We did not pay for the pool to be heated (in mid July) and the water was perfect! There were games and toys at the house for the kids, including pool and beach toys (and a beach wagon). Would stay again if we re-visit!
