Family Vacation

We really enjoyed our time at this property. We received check-in information prior to our trip and everything went smoothly for us. The condo was spacious and clean (beautiful decor) and had everything we needed. We had our morning coffee on the patio everyday and enjoyed the view of the ocean and the calm breezes. We were blessed with a rainbow view one morning :) We will definitely want to visit this property again in the future!

Perfect for our family.

This was our granddaughters first beach trip (one turned 2 today and 1 turns 2 July 6th) and they had fun! Super close beach access. Nice pool for swimming. Condo was nice, we just had to put the breakables up lol. The only complaint we had is that we had to leave to go back to reality in Arkansas :)

Our stay in destin

We normally stay at the other side of this building in another condo but it sold. We gave this one a Chance and we where so happy we choose this unit and company. It was 100% better than the other unit way more updated and not warn out furniture. We highly recommend and the price was really reasonable

Loved the condo! It was perfect for our family.

The condo was a great location to the beach, as well as a walking trail to take our dog out on walks. We enjoyed the unit and would stay there again. The only negative was that the floor was a bit dirty. There was no sand or grit, but it left our socks and feet dirty. Perhaps the cleaning crew needs to deep clean the floors.

Beautiful Condo on the inside!

Lovely newly remodeled condo! The kitchen was gorgeous as well as the furnishings! The pool area was nice as well! The only things that we didn't like was that the location of the condo. Its was right on the main row and there was a lot of traffic. There is a lovely walking path though and that helped especially for our little dog. THere was also amazing shopping as this condo is in the heart of Destin.

Loved Every Bit of This!

We had to cancel two other planned vacations, so at the last minute we decided to throw the kids and dog in the car and head to Florida. We were grateful enough to find a place, but THIS place was amazing! Great location, pretty views, perfect for the dog, tons of space, and a kitchen that was incredible! We’d never been to Destin, so we had no idea we’d booked a place that was convenient to restaurants and shopping. I have to add, the sunset and sunrise views from right across the beach are incredible! And the main bath made me feel like a princess! Thank you for your hospitality!

Perfect!!

Our condo was such a hidden gem! It was just the perfect location, literally steps away from our private beach. It came with an umbrella and 2 chairs and we just brought a big beach blanket for the rest of us. The condo was beautifully decorated and so clean and had everything we needed. It was so nice to cook and barbecue for our family with the beautiful, up to date, kitchen and outdoor grill. The location was great for restaurants and shops and had a nice path for walking, running or biking. The view of the ocean was amazing from out first floor condo as well, we will definitely stay here again!!

About the host

Hosted by Laura, Renee, Giovanna, Carmen and Janetxy

Host profile image
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.
