Area Information

We are close to restaurants, water sports, the Silver Sands Outlet Mall (largest in the south) and Destin Commons. Destin Commons is a unique, open-air village, featuring upscale shopping, casual and fine dining, and a 14-screen, stadium-seating movie theater located 1.5 miles west. You can safely bike with the kids along the paved bike paths for awesome beach views. Our favorite activity. Beach bike rentals are available on-site!

You can walk to either Captain Dave's On The Gulf, Kenny D's Grill & Beach Bar, or Pompano Joe's Seafood and sample some of the local seafood flavors or just to relax and sip on a cold one.

Year Purchased: 2022

About the owner: 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? Absolutely one of the best locations in the Destin area. This 2nd Floor unit has incredible views of the Gulf of Mexico. Leeward Key is one of the few condos that have a pool directly on the beach! As well, you can walk to several seafood restaurants and grab a cocktail too! This unit was completely remodeled in 2019. As the name implies, you can just relax and Sail Aweigh.
