REAL SANDY is the perfect beach vacation home for your family in Destin, Florida. This professionally decorated, Coastal Chic, single-story home is located just two blocks from our private beach and pavilion, only a 2 minute 45 second stroll from the front door. The home is also just three houses away from the main community pool. REAL SANDY is located inside the gated EMERALD SHORES subdivision, the only residential community in Destin with a private beach pavilion featuring restrooms, outdoor showers, beach service, and the Cabana Cafe & Bar. This means no walking back to the house for bathroom breaks, rinsing off kids, or grabbing food and drinks. Everything is right at the pavilion.

The open kitchen, living, and dining layout makes REAL SANDY ideal for two families with children. Outdoor amenities include a gas grill, dining area, and two beach wagons for hauling kids, coolers, or beach toys to the pool and beach. There is also an enclosed porch for morning coffee, accessible from both the living room and the bonus room.

About the host
Your 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. 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. With our success, other owners wanted to tap into our formula. As we grew, we needed help and Josh O'Brien became our Gulf911 Property Manager. When we are asked why we do so well, it's a pretty easy answer; Who cares more about a property than actual owners? We are small and take care of our properties and our guests. 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 with 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 properties up-to-date and current. Josh is pretty handy and can make minor repairs in real-time. Since Betty has her Florida Real Estate license, it keeps us abreast of the most current trends in the real estate and vacation rental markets.
Whether you are looking to rent a high-quality vacation property or looking to purchase something for your family, we have the experience to help. Please call or email the Gulf911 Team, we would love to hear from you.
