About the host
Hosted by Laura, Renee, Giovanna, Carmen and Janetxy
I began purchasing property along the Scenic Gulf Drive area in 2001 and have loved the area. As time went on, the opportunity to move to Destin and manage my own properties became I have changed careers from Physical Therapy to Property Management and Real Estate Sales. I established Beach Condos in Destin and in 2009, my daughter Laura Johnson joined me in the business.
Why they chose this property
Beach Retreat is an uncrowded community with a deeded private beach. The floor plan is great and easily accommodates a family.
What makes this property unique
My guests love that they can bring their pets and have a luxurious place to stay. The beach is not overly crowded as with many high rise condo complexes and the community feel of the area is relaxing while being close to everything at the same time.
Premier Host
They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
