"The Retreat" NEW 2019 Remolded Ocean Front Ground Floor walkout 5 Star Platinum

We absolutely LOVED our stay in 112-A! You cannot beat the view out of the sliding doors, the ease of walking directly out to the beach, or the charming decor of this condo!! There is plenty of storage, every bit of space is used in a way that is functional and efficient, the towels and linens are top-notch, and the kitchen is stocked with everything you need. The entire condo is very well kept and clean. The location is ideal - close to all the classic Destin restaurants, shopping, and any activity you could think of. The beach service is a great bonus and the beach itself was beautiful as always. This spot of the beach was quiet and private, and most weekdays we felt like we had the beach to ourselves! It was absolutely perfect for our family with two small children. Matthew was quick to respond to my emails and very easy to work with. I can’t say enough good things about this condo! We would definitely come back!!

So beautiful and convenient. We can’t wait to come back!

This way our favorite condo we’ve stayed at in Destin! Beautifully decorated and the towels were great!

We loved our stay in this condo. The first floor access to the beach is a great plus, as well as the awesome location close to shopping and restaurants. Our family of four had plenty of space and enjoyed every moment of our vacation. Thanks for sharing your place with us!

I cannot say enough good things about this condo! The view is just absolutely stunning and being on the ground floor is just an unbeatable experience. It is a smaller condo (1 bedroom) than some we have rented in the past but the layout was so thoughtfully done and every single inch of space was so well optimized it felt more organized and roomy than all of them. From the vanities and cabinets chosen, to the hooks on each of the bathroom doors, to the bedroom dresser and nightstands I felt like everything had a home even with two adults and two small children with room to spare. The towels were very fluffy and luxurious which is so nice after being so deeply exfoliated by the sea and sand. The king bed was very comfortable and it was very easy to keep the entire unit cool and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked for the daily breakfast and lunches we prepared in both cooking and serving items. The location of Crystal Sands is as always optimal with very easy access to all of the top spots in Destin. We enjoyed eating out at lulu’s, Margaritaville at HarborWalk, the crab trap (always our favorite), pompano joes, and a new favorite Bric a Brac. Very close to destin commons which offers excellent shopping, a playground for the kids, as well as a nice movie theater. The beach is beautiful and being on the ground floor makes access incredibly easy. We love this condo because the entire building is only 3 stories it doesn’t get anywhere near as crowded as those 20 story giant buildings with 3 rows of chairs. Everyone gets a beautiful view without feeling crowded or like you don’t have room to set up your beach space for yourself or your children. My daughter loved the bunk beds tucked into the hallway and would be great for children or smaller guests. I found the unit very child friendly with there even being card games for children in the living room entertainment center. My only suggestion for making the unit more friendly towards young children would be adding a high lock on the front door similar to those on the sliding glass doors for the patio. The front door is a lever handle that cannot be locked to not open when pulled down which did create some anxiety for us as we could not prevent our 18 month old son from being able to open the front door to the unit. However at night we just made sure the bedroom and bathroom doors were shut before we went to bed as they were knob style and he can’t yet open those. 100% we will be back
