Five Star Gulf Rentals has many properties in its selection along the Gulf Coast. But regardless of what kind of property you choose, most of the properties have similar features. If you’ve been looking for a rental in Destin or South Walton, you’re probably aware that many rental companies are touting their services and offering vacation package deals. But how many companies can give you a beachfront property, as well as recommendations and accommodations for a full vacation experience in Destin? Five Star Gulf Rentals has various beach properties and, for those deciding to rent with them, accommodations, such as bringing groceries to a rental property before you arrive or guest chefs from local restaurants to come into your rental and cook you dinner for one night.

In terms of the actual properties, most rental homes through Five Star have similar characteristics. Each property is designed to accommodate a group ranging from eight to twelve people, and bedrooms and living areas are split between two to three floors of every home. Some of these bedrooms and living areas even have balconies to give you a view of the ocean. Inside, each rental property is complete with in-home entertainment options like televisions and DVD players.

But renting a property in Destin is only partially about the home. The other half of the experience comes from the area, which is known for beaches with white sands and green water. Many Five Star properties, including both rental homes and condos, are within walking distance of the beach in Destin or South Walton. In addition, many of these properties come with a pool for a more secluded and private outdoor experience with your family or other renters. Destin has several entertainment options, as well, and nearly all of these beach properties are located near shopping and dining options, such as downtown Destin or the Silver Sands Outlet Mall.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve covered how the rental aspect of real estate in Destin and other Emerald Coast communities is thriving in comparison to the falling housing market with unfinished developments in the area. This trend continues to grow, according to a recent press release issued by one of the area’s resorts. This aspect isn’t only in Destin and extends to other communities along the coast of northwest Florida, including South Walton and Panama City.

What is the result of this increase in rentals, be it in a beach house or in a resort community? One effect has been that rental companies like Five Star Beach Properties have acquired more beach properties in a variety of locations. In the case of our company, we have rental houses and condos along the beach and in the heart of Destin, Destiny-by-the-Sea, and South Walton. These range from affordable options for a week’s vacation to luxury rental homes with a private walk to the beach.

In the case of this press release, resorts have been moving their offices to expand the number of employees they need to maintain properties and manage inquiries regarding rentals.

As it seems, the vacation industry in Destin hasn’t been affected by the recession. Or, has it? Since the start of 2009, the number of people deciding to take vacations in Destin has jumped up sharply and, as a result, more rental space is needed. Whether it’s more condos and hotels or more luxury homes, rental companies have been expanding their options to meet the newly expanded market. The communities in Destin and South Walton, meanwhile, have expanded themselves to include more dining, shopping, and entertainment options for guests in town and, in some cases, the towns themselves have altered their appearances by expanding town squares and walkways for the increased traffic.
