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 own 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 and started GULF911, a vacation rental management and real estate company.
When we are asked why we manage the homes 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 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 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

Reviews
Mark A.Wonderful week at Real Sandy
We had a great time at Real Sandy. Very well appointed, comfortable and spacious. There were only three of us, so we had ample room. The kitchen is fully equipped with anything that you need and the gas grill was very helpful for the nights we didn't to go out to eat. Very short walk to the beach and Kenny D's or Capt Dave's on the Gulf. The pavilion was a wonderful thing to be able to have a bathroom, refreshments and a place to get out of the sun for a minute. The chair and umbrella is a must, makes life so much easier. We really appreciated the wagon and extra chairs. If you get the chance, Christian at the pavilion was a blast to get to know, plus he will move your seats front row. This was our first time to Miramar Beach/Destin area and we really enjoyed the laid back vibe of the community and the beach. Thanks for having us.

Jill G.Fantastic Beach Vacation
"Real Sandy" provided our families a wonderful beach vacation getaway! The house accommodated our 7 very well. It's location in this charming community was great - about a 3 minute walk to the beach and even shorter walk to the pool (didn't even need the beach tram!) Beach pavilion with restrooms and refreshments was nice! The house was beautifully decorated and kitchen was spacious. We enjoyed sitting underneath the fan on the screened porch, which never got direct sun and was very relaxing. Thank you Jay and Betty for sharing your lovely home with us!

Melanie A.Modern and Pet Friendly
This home was very modern and comfortable. It was close to all we needed especially the community pool. It was a great price tooIt was great that it was pet friendly as these types of rentals are often hard to find. The only thing i would recommend is if the back yard was fence in for my dog.Overall i highly recommend this rental.
