In order to include our 2 daughters and grandchildren, our second visit to this condo was Spring Break 2012. We love the location and unobstructed view of the beach from the large balcony - so much better than a high rise! The provided beach setup was great and the nice large pool was never crowded.The unit is beautiful and the owners have gone out of their way to ensure their guests (of all ages) lack for nothing with all the special personal touches. By the second day our grandkids (8 & 10) were asking to return next year! We would highly recommend this "home away from home" to anyone considering a vacation to the Destin area and are grateful to our family members who recommended it to us!

Breathtaking view, beautiful furnishings and decor, spacious, the most comfortable beds, location to the beach, convenience to everything, wonderful owners - I cannot say enough about this property. We are so glad we picked this place to stay. We spent many mornings on the balcony drinking coffee and many evenings with a glass of wine. You can hear the waves coming in - it's awesome. We will definitely come back next year!

Our family has been vacationing in Destin for 5 years. We would all agree that our accommodations this year was our favorite. The condo exceeded our expectations--the decor was lovely, condo very clean and well-maintained, owners were very responsive and supplied a lot of little extra amenities, etc. We are innkeepers ourselves so we can certainly appreciate a well-maintained facility. We have never stayed across the street from the beach but it was very convenient and the private beach was very pleasant. We look forward to returning.

We have been visiting Destin since the early 90's and have stayed in several different condo's but this one was by far the nicest! Everything about this place was great, from the view, the pool, the cleanliness, it has everything you need. We had a fun and relaxing time here and can't wait to visit again. No more looking for a condo, we will keep coming back to this one.

I just wanted to let you know that we enjoyed our stay at your lovely condo or better said "Home away from Home". My husbands family was renting another unit there and they were all envious of our condo. The tv's in each room including the bunk beds was an added delight. In fact, one of my nephews stayed in the bottom bunk one night because they didn't have tv's in any of the bedrooms other than the master bedroom at their other condo. Thanks again for allowing us the privilege of staying at your home. We hope to go back again next year, it was truly the best place that we have ever stayed and the decorations were wonderful.

What a beautiful condo! Everyone in our group was so pleased with everything from the view to the gorgeous rooms. It was absolutely the best location with easy access to the pool and beach. With two toddlers we didn't want to walk far and this was perfect. I looked into condos all along the Gulf Shores/Destin area and this was definitley the best of everything for the price. I can't wait to come back!!!

I would totally recommend this condo to anyone. It was so tastfully decorated and very comfortable and very clean. Not that you go on vacation to watch T.V. but it was nice to have a T.V. in each bedroom for other guests that travel with you. The view is increadable and it is nice being in this particular unit due to it being a corner unit and closest to the entrance to the beach. I have stayed in other condo's before that are at this price if not higher, and don't even come close to being as clean or as comfortable as this one at Beach Retreat. The family we rented from were soooo nice and easy to work with, which makes staying someplace away from home that much nicer. I have to say this was one of our best vacations due to the nice accomodations and relaxing atmosphere!!!! Mindi

Owner response:It is such a joy to read about our guest's experiences at our home. Thanks to all of you who take great care of our property. Roger & Ramona

Perfect Condo in Perfect Location

My family recently spent spring break at this Destin condo. What a fantastic condo in a great location!! The condo is beautifully decorated and extremely clean. Very roomy with lovely furniture, comfy beds, flat screen televisions and all the kitchen supplies you could ever need. My son was very pleased to find a basket full of sand toys and we loved the extra beach chairs to carry over to the beach. The location can't be beat. Unobstructed ocean views from the huge balcony. Great place for coffee and snacks. Loved the location within the complex - end nearest the beach walkover and elevators/stairs (best on site in our opinion). On-site pool and spa were fantastic. Large deck area and pool. Bathroom at pool area was very roomy and clean. The owner was a delight. Very patient with my questions during my initial phone call. She is truly happy to share her beautiful home and strives to ensure her renters have a wonderful experience. She called the day of our arrival to make sure everything exceeded our expectations and offered great advise on restaurants, shopping, etc. Some of our favorite restaurants were BoneFish, Crab Trap, Pompano Joes and McGuires. My kids loved our early morning excursion to Krispy Creme for warm donuts which we took to the marina. Ate donuts while watching the fishing boats depart for the day - awesome!! If we have the good fortune to return to Destin in the future, this condo will be our preferred destination!! PERFECT!!

Owner response:We sincererly appreciate the great reviews. These reviews help other's make informed decisions about the rental choices available. We strive to have a luxury type of accomodation that our guests will want to return to year after year. Thank You, Roger & Ramona
