About the host

: Welcome to Gulf Breeze Vacations! We have three 5b beach houses that are steps to the ocean: Southern Sands, Ocean Retreat Villa & Beach Walk Retreat.

I'm Jan - lover of food, travel, exercise and meeting new people. I am a mom of 22 year old twins and 2 cats. I am originally from the sound, then moved to Atlanta; and now I spend most of my time in Destin.

I look forward to sharing our beach house with you and your family/friends! Our goal is for you to have a memorable vacation! If it is your first time to Destin, we can assist you.

Why this property?

I grew up near a beach in the Northeast. Destin is even more beautiful and closeby to visit from Atlanta.

Guestbook comments from the host:

We had an amazing stay at Southern Sands! From the moment we booked, Jan was attentive and extremely informative. The home was clean and within walking distance to the beach. The pool was a big hit for the kids and adults and was stocked with rafts and other various pool toys! We rarely went out for dinner because of the comfort of the home. I’m sure we will be back someday!
