Great beach time

Large property well designed for multiple families. Best equipped kitchen I've seen. Close and easy access to the beach. Closed access to the complex restricting traffic making it safer for kids and just walking around.

Beautiful neighborhood

We loved our stay here! Our family of 15 came to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday and we loved everything about this property! Short walk to the beach and the pool, Dollar General right next door, all the beach toys one could ever need and fabulous coffee shop down the road (Causeway Coffee)! It is very quiet with easy access to everything you'll need!

Incredible hosts and home!

We enjoyed our week-long stay at this home immensely. In my opinion, the best part was the thorough and quick communication with the host; however, the whole stay was fantastic. With nine kids and two adults, this home gave us plenty of space and had great accommodations... only a few minutes walking to the beach! I highly recommend this property.

Soooo much fun!

This spacious and beautiful house is perfectly located in a gated community across the street from the beach. Everything was better than described! Our group of 10 had the space to spread out. The kids had a blast-thank you for the beach toys and the wagon- and the adults loved sitting around shooting the breeze in the evenings in the living room and on the patio. Bathrooms at the beach were such a plus for our family. We would stay here, again.

Very family friendly

Lots of space! There was plenty of room for everyone to hang out together or if you wanted to get away for a nap there was plenty of places to escape the group. The neighborhood was awesome. The beach was a short walk and beautiful. The heated pool came in handy as we were there in early spring and some pretty chilly days. My only complaint is the cookware for stovetop cooking needs replacement. The owner of the home was very helpful when I had questions. Lovely place!!

AWESOME HOUSE and OWNER!!

Blessing by the Sea is a wonderful house with all of the comforts of home with many extras that most vacation homes do not offer. As soon as our group walked into the house, everyone commented that the pictures online do not do it the justice it deserves. We loved it! The big couch in den was wonderful. The beds were comfortable. TVs were a big hit. Jackie is amazing to work with and was very accommodating to our group. Many wonderful memories were made and we hope to return there in the future.

A taste of paradise!

My father, six siblings, and I stayed here for a week (11/13-11/20), and it was perfect! It’s just a few minute walk from a beautiful private, white sand beach. The beach house was clean and comfortable and plenty of room for all 8 of us. There are restaurants within walking distance and many sites/attractions within just a few miles. We loved it and would rent again!

About the host

Hosted by Jackie Bowen

Host profile image
Jason & Jackie both grew up in North Georgia. They just celebrated their 16th wedding anniversary. Jason & Jackie love The Lord, love their family, church family, and both own their own business. Jason is a commercial & residential general contractor while Jackie is a stay-at-home mom and photographer. They have been blessed with three children. Jace (14 years old) loves to play basketball, travel baseball and hunting with his Daddy! Carly & Claire, the twins (12 years old), enjoy playing basketball, swimming, cross country and playing with their friends!

Why they chose this property

Jason had grown up going to Destin each year with his family as a young boy through adulthood. Lord willing, he is continuing the family tradition! Jason & Jackie had been searching & praying for "THE" beach home quite seriously for the last couple years. Some of their church friends highly recommended buying a home in Emerald Shores (they also own a home in Emerald Shores too). Jackie and her children came down to Emerald Shores with her family, Memorial Day weekend of 2015. They all fell in love with neighborhood. They looked at a couple of homes for sale and let's just say the rest is history! The Lord has blessed them immeasurably with this home "BLESSING BY THE SEA!" Jason and Jackie are still in AWE! They can't wait to share their BLESSING with YOUR FAMILY!

What makes this property unique

Besides the crystal clear water and sugary sandy white beaches, the BATHROOMS with PRIVATE deeded beach access sold them on this neighborhood! They love being tucked away in their spacious and cozy BLESSING BY THE SEA on the 1st beach street! The neighbors are AWESOME too!
