About the owner: 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.
