Why the Owner Chose Beach Retreat
Beach Retreat is in the Miramar Beach area in between the city limits of Destin and the SanDestin Beach Resort area. We enjoy the convenience of having great shopping and restaurants just a few miles in either direction and the incredible ocean views without the hustle and bustle of downtown. The low rise, Italian look of the exterior and one of the largest one-bedroom floor plans with high ceilings was also a plus, but the view and the 3000 square foot swimming pool sealed the deal.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
We most enjoy the view and sound of the surf from our balcony. Our children most enjoy building sandcastles, searching for sea shells, snorkeling, the volleyball games that pick up along the beach, and boating in the bay. We also enjoy riding our bikes along the bike and walking trail to a park just a few miles away, and often will stop by the sidewalk cafe for a smoothie on the way back. The family concerts at Baytowne are wonderful in the evenings and the movies are close by as well.
Owner's Map of Beach Retreat
Growing up in Alabama, the Florida Panhandle was always our choice for a beach get-away. When we were younger, Destin was a sleepy little community with the most beautiful white sandy beaches and very little to do. Over the years, we've watched it grow into a beautiful beach resort community with the finest accommodations, dining, shopping and wonderful family acitivites. We've enjoyed a family cottage in Destin for many, many years, and added our ocean view condominium just a few years ago. The sun, the sound of the ocean, the sea breeze and the feel of the smooth white sand beneath your feet just does something to relax the soul and we find that peace everytime we are there.

Beach Retreat was exactly what our family was looking for. The view from the balcony was beyond beautiful! The beach access was so convenient as were the pool facilities. The pool was very large and never felt crowded. The beach chairs and umbrella provided by the owners was an added bonus! We highly recommend this unit for families with children and pets. All of the people staying at Beach Retreat were friendly and kind to our children (and our dog!). The condo was convenient to restaurants, shopping and activities. Michelle accommodated our needs and was easy to work with!
Owner response:Thanks Lori! We are so happy you enjoyed your trip and our place! We look forward to having you again and again! Our repeat guests always become friends! Blessings!
Recommended for:Families with young children, pet owners, families with teenagers.

The unit was exactly as described and very clean when we arrived. The location is very nice with two beach front restaurants within walking distance. The area is very beautiful with nice landscaping, green grass and well maintained walking paths. Very pet friendly unit and area. Our puppy met a lot of new friends while there. We would recommend this unit and the area to family, friends, or anyone looking for a very nice place to stay. The bunk room is really cute and great for young children with private full bath, TV and nautical decorations. Ready to go back as soon as possible. No oil!
Owner response:What a blessing it was to receive this review! Thank you for your kind words. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to having you back again soon!

This was our second stay at this property and it was yet again wonderful. The beaches are oil free and beautiful. Michelle is wonderful to work with! It was fun going back this year and seeing the new additions to the condo since our last visit. We love this location on the beach and this condo! Thank you for sharing your little piece of heaven with us!
Owner response:We are so grateful for such gracious guests. Thank you for choosing to stay at our place again. We love having repeat guests because they so quickly turn into friends!!
