Why the Owner Chose Beach Retreat
The Beaches of South Walton offer some of the best beaches in the world. Miles of silky white sand and crystal clear water- It doesn't get any better.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
Nothing beats a day at the beach, deep sea fishing in the gulf, golfing on any of the great courses nearby- an afternoon drive down 30A through Grayton Beach, Watercolor and Seaside- an evening out at the Destin Commons or Baytowne Wharf- enjoying any of the many great restaurants nearby or shopping at the outlet mall if you so desire. This place is paradise.

Al, just to let you know how very much we enjoyed our time at your Beach Retreat condo. The location was just wonderful -furnishings were beautiful and we loved being on the first floor. This was our sixth trip to Destin and your condo was the best yet. We will definitely be back!! Thanks so much, Connye and Barry Neal-

This condo was outstanding in every way...location, condition, quality, everything! Al was excellent to talk to, and he maintains an awesome property. My twin girls especially loved the bunk room. I would highly recommend this condo to anyone looking for a relaxing week on a beautiful, private beach. Having the umbrella and chair service topped it off for us. I hope we can return again next year!

I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed staying in your condo at Beach Retreat. It was just perfect for our family. Well appointed room with everything we needed for our stay. The convenience of being on the ground floor was amazing. I think the walk to the beach took probably a little over a minute. I thought crossing the street might be a hassle but I was pleasantly surprised at how quick and easy the walk to the beach was. And the section of beach for Beach Retreat is HUGE! I must also say that the attendants for the umbrellas and chairs did a wonderful job. Very attentive and made sure that everyone's umbrella was positioned just perfect, even coming around and readjusting as the sun changed position in the sky. We will definitely be staying at your unit the next time we visit Destin. Thanks! The Hoffman Family

Wonderful location

What we love most besides the furnishings/amenities is the location! We walk everywhere, restaurants, coffee shops, shopping centers. We wouldn't have to use the car if we wanted to subdstitute exercise to get places. It is very easy to be on the beach in a couple of minutes, and the first floor unit makes that even easier,! The first floor was fabulous for our pet too. We enjoyed the view of the ocean and the sunsets to the west. We were on the patio all of the time because it faces south. Even when the cold north winds came, it was toasty there. The big flat screen tv and surround sound were a plus. Stove and frig may need to be updated if they have not already been. We have been there the last two years for 3 mo, and it was awesome. We will miss it terribly next year. Wisconsin snowbirds

My family and I stayed at Al and Mindy's condo this past week, and it was a fabulous rental. The condo is nicely appointed and very close to the beach walkover. The pool area is lovely for a beach break. We took our dogs and having a ground floor unit was perfect! Several good restaurants are in walking distance also. I had many conversations with Al and he could not have been more helpful! We could not have had a better location for a quick get away! We will definitely use this rental property again.

Thanks so much, Al and Mindy, for allowing us to stay in this beautiful condo. The view is beautiful and the location and proximity to the beach is so convenient. My family and I had such a great time. My two year old keeps saying "vacation home" which means he's already wanting to go back! The condo is spacious which is good when traveling with family- there's enough space to keep us from getting on each other's nerves. =-) We definitely want to come back! Thanks again!!!

We were so impressed with The Beach Retreat and the wonderful views of the beach! This condo was fabulous...very spacious and beautifully decorated. Everything about our stay was great! Al was so helpful to tell us about another owner in the building so that we could find the PERFECT accommodations for our large group. Many of the other condos in the area have buildings blocking the great views..but not The Beach Retreat. We will definitely stay here again! A+++++++

Having formerly lived in the southeast, I have vacationed in the Destin area on several occasions. This condo is by far one of the best I have stayed at. Nothing beats a 1st floor rental, out the door and to the beach or pool. Great view of the ocean from your patio. The condo is very clean and all apliances are in great condition. Don't miss out on this hot spot.

Wow! What a great place, the view of the ocean was awesome and this was by far the easiest place we have stayed. It was so nice not having to lug all our beach gear up and down stairs or in an elevator. Just a few steps to the beach and a few steps to a fabulous pool. I was so impressed with the decor and all the artwork, this is by far one of the nicest places we have stayed in the Destin area. Thanks for sharing your great place with us.

We're back from an outstanding vacation! We had such a good time at your condo! It was beyond our expectations. The pool was awesome, especially for our 4 year old who prefers the pool to the beach! We'll definitely be back.
