Clean, convenient, coastal

This place is ideal for families. We sat on the balcony with our coffee in the mornings and watched the waves crash. It was very clean and tidy. Perfect location to all area attractions. Parking is easy. It is so nice to be able to walk across the street to white sand beaches. Will book this place again. Perfect vrbo experience.

Great spot!

Condo was as listed. Updated and clean. Kitchen was well stocked. Balcony has a great, unobstructed view of the ocean! Private beach is steps away when you get to the ground floor. Pool area is on the smaller side, but nice and clean! Workout room is tiny and has maybe 4 pieces of equipment and no space for free weights. We were very pleased and comfortable with our stay and communication with owner was great! Would recommend and would book again!

Brooke is a great host. Very easy to work with, let us check-in early because the condo was ready early. Room was great, decorated beautifully, and beach chair/umbrella set included is a big plus. We will always choose Beach Retreat.

Beautiful Location, but....

Beautiful location, but don't forget to get your own toiletries, as only soap was provided in the bathroom. We had to buy shampoo, conditioner, body lotion from target. No Hair dryer. We stayed there for 4 days so, we had to buy kitchen towels and toilet papers after 2 days. Stock was limited.

The Ultimate Vacation “Destin”ation!

The property and surrounding area are magical. You have stunning ocean views from the balcony and a perfect beach vibe decor inside your oasis. It was stunning how white the sand was and how amazing it felt to walk on the beach. The water was incredibly clear with an amazing mixture of colors. Private access to the beach was SO convenient and made our stay one to remember. We will definitely be back!
