About the host: Our very first road trip to Destin was in 1987. We immediately fell in love with the sugar-white beaches and pristine waters of the Gulf of Mexico. It was our little secret love nest that consisted mostly of walking on the beach and regular trips to the fish market. Well, Destin is no longer our little secret and we are very passionate about sharing all that it has to offer.
We have traveled extensively and "rented" property for our family vacations. So we fully understand and appreciate the importance of finding a great location, having easy access to amenities, and a quality home that is clean and well maintained. In 2001 we took the plunge and purchased our first property in Destin and started living "The Dream". Eventually we moved to Destin full-time.
When we are asked why we manage the properties ourselves, it's a pretty easy answer; Who cares more about a property than the actual owners? Our properties are not "out of sight, out of mind" investments with an out-of-state owner that is managed by some large cookie-cutter property management company. That is far from our approach. We live close to the rental properties and provide a hands-on approach to our guests and the properties. We even conduct our own weekly inspections! We also differ from the "herd" by regularly updating and upgrading our properties to keep the homes up-to-date and current. Since Betty has her Florida Real Estate license, it keeps us abreast of the most current trends in the housing and vacation rental markets.
Whether you are looking to rent a high-quality vacation home or looking to purchase something for your family, we have the experience to help. Please call or email us, we would love to hear from you.
Happy Vacationing,
Jay & Betty Coppic
Owners / Property Consultants
Why this property? This was our very first property purchased in Destin and will always be a sentimental favorite. It's located on the 1st beach street in Emerald Shores and is only 1 home from the pool. So the location cannot be beat. The upstairs bonus room is a great place to park kids, especially when the adults want to have adult time downstairs. Three king bedrooms means family and friends can come too! The central location is a huge bonus as we are close to grocery stores, shopping and of course, the beach!

Sandra B.Family Vacation
We enjoyed staying here. The home is well stocked with dishes, pots and pans etc. Towel supply was adequate but could use more wash cloths and hand towels. The bedroom layout is perfect for our family and it was so nice to have king beds for the adult rooms! The walk to the beach is a bit longer than I gathered from the information but the golf cart shuttle is very nice. We loved the private entrance to the beach and having the bathrooms close by. Our grands loved the shaved ice at the snack bar. The pool close to the house was very nice and very well maintained. Definitely would choose this again!

Mary S.Family trip
The house was great we had kids from age 4 to 10 and the open room with all the beds upstairs is perfect. There was plenty of room for everybody well stocked in a great location. I also like the idea that the TVs were not just Roku they actually had cable.Check in was very easy. Josh was great. Answered all my questions right away. Parking was a challenge, but we got to know our neighbors, which made it very easy to fit all the cars. I think the outside. Could’ve been cleaned up a little better. It was pretty messy look like it hadn’t been swept in a long time.

We are so pleased you enjoyed the home and community. We apologize for the outdoor leaves and palm debris, as we had a pretty good storm and it takes the landscape crew a while to make it through the entire community to get things cleaned up. We appreciate your positive words and welcome you back to this property or one of our other Gulf911 vacation rental properties!

Jane T.Two master suites and large yard made this home perfect for my husband and I and our pet
This was our first stay at Bimini Breeze for snowbird season and we’ll be back next year. It’s within walking distance of two of our favorite restaurants and close to the beach as well. The kitchen is well stocked. Jay was very responsive to all of our needs.

Kim H.Amber Cove at Emerald Shores is a great family friendly relaxing place to vacation!
We so thoroughly enjoyed our week at 31 Amber Cove in Emerald Shores in Destin! The house was inviting, and the beds were very comfortable. Everything was just as advertised: location, space, beach proximity, as well as proximity to restaurants and things to do. It met and exceeded our expectations! We had one very small issue, and Betty and Jay were quick to take care of it. The neighborhood was so family friendly, and we loved the quiet time after 10pm. That was especially important since we had a 3 and 5 year old with us.

That is fantastic! Glad y'all enjoyed the Bimini Breeze home, the Emerald Shores community, and our private beach and pavilion. We agree with you about the location and wouldn't have purchased 4 properties in Emerald Shores if we weren't sold that it has the total package. Emerald Shores is a hidden gem and I'm glad y'all took advantage of all it has to offer. The Bimini Breeze home was the very first home we purchased back in always great to hear good feedback. Thank you again!
Ketrina H.1st Vacation with all of the Children and Grandchildren
2019 was our 1st family vacation with our children and grandchildren. We chose the “Bimini Breeze” for a wonderful Spring Break! We stayed the first week of April and although the weather could have been a little better the house was awesome! Bimini Breeze was a very short walk to the beach and the one of the heated pools was one house walk away. The house was very clean when we arrived. My son was the first to arrive as there was 3 of us that drove down (yes they accommodate 3 vehicles on this property) and he called me once he looked around and said “Mom you did good! This house is awesome! We were extremely happy with the location of the house and everything that was included – plenty of linens, wi-fi, cable, grill and 2 wagons for the beach. I really like the idea of being able to leave food that has been unopened to be donated! The day prior to our departure we had started washing the towels and smelled burning coming from the washer. We unplugged it immediately and I emailed Jay and Betty to advise them but also followed up with a call. Jay was so appreciative that I called to let him know and he immediately set up to get a new washer and dryer. Responses like that prove to me that they care about their properties. I can say that any future vacations in Destin our first pick will be with one of Jay and Betty’s properties. Ketrina
