Destin Family Rental

House in a private community, which offers two pools. Private beach access, with provide transportation to beach was terrific. This helped with elderly parents and young kids, along with everything you take to beach. House had everything needed to keep kids and adults occupied and happy. Overall great location. Would book again.

Coastal Breeze was Perfect!

We had an excellent stay! The house was open and airy, so CLEAN and welcoming! Our twin grandsons loved the bunk beds; perfect just outside their parents room. What put it over the top were the provided beach towels, laundry soap, dish soap, toilet paper,etc…enough to last our entire stay! No worrying abut rushing to the store to get essentials!! Darlene, the owner was lovely. Working on booking our stay for next year!

A great family vacation rental

The house was clean and a convenient walk to the beach. Everything that we needed (especially for kids) was ready for us when we got there. On top of that, the gated community has two pools, sidewalks and has a back entrance/exit to zip out to local restaurants and grocery stores. Additionally, we coordinated a few baby/toddler items through Babyquip and Darlene was more than willing to meet the Babyquip representative and have everything set up for us when we got there. This made our afternoon arrival perfect so the little ones had a place to eat and sleep when we got there. Book this house, you won't regret it!

About the host

Hosted by Darlene Glaze

Host profile image
Hi - Darlene here! One of my favorite things about being a host is working directly with our guests. I love connecting right up front so I understand what you're looking for in a vacation home and what activities appeal to your family. We continually add to our property as our guests make suggestions or requests. And, we visit the property every 3 months to make sure all the amenities are still in tip-top shape.

Let's face it...we just don't get that many vacations. So, when you stay at Coastal Breeze Retreat, we're committed to giving you a memorable vacation experience. I sincerely hope I get the opportunity to work with you as well.

We would be delighted to have you as our guests and invite you to reach out to us with any questions you might have. - Darlene

Why they chose this property

Why did we choose Coastal Breeze Retreat?
When deciding where to purchase a beach vacation home, we felt the place had to meet three criteria. First, it had to be within walking distance of our own private beach. Second, it had to be in a resort setting. And, lastly, it had to be close to local activities, restaurants, and shopping...after all, we're on vacation!

What makes this property unique

What makes us unique from other beach properties?
We've tried to separate ourselves from other vacation properties by providing first-class amenities and consistently giving our guests a Five Star hospitality experience.

And, since we vacation here as well, we've stocked the kitchen with everything needed to prepare a family meal or entertain our amazing neighbors.
Everything from the furniture, artwork, and bedding have been selected to create a "home away from home".

Our family enjoys games, friendly competition and gathering around to share stories. At Coastal Breeze Retreat you'll find ample opportunities to do just that. With each visit we bring a new game to add to our collection. And each year, we try to add one more "big" amenity that we feel our guests would enjoy.
Being located in a quiet cul-de-sac with no rear-facing neighbors, we like the semi-private atmosphere of our private patio. This area is perfect for outdoor grilling and relaxing with others into the night.
