Notes
- We both have traveled to many different beaches but we just kept coming back to Destin!! The location of this condo offers so many advantages. All shopping is North just a bike ride away, Close to Destin Harbor and its restaurants and night life. But still very close to Sandestin and Seaside. Great walking and biking path right outside the front door! Beautiful white sand beach right outside the back door! Matthew Wink

This was the third year in a row we have come back to "The Retreat." That's how much we love it here! The condo is the cleanest I have ever seen--every time!! Matthew makes himself very available and is wonderfully accommodating. You won't be disappointed if you choose this place for your next getaway!

We loved the easy access to the beach and the location of the condominium. Perfect size for our family of 4. We loved the view of the ocean from the kitchen and enjoyed our morning coffee on the patio. Looking forward to next year!

As our 1st family beach vacay, we had a great time. Felt like a home away from home. We loved waking up early and seeing the beach right from the condo..even saw dolphins one morning! Loved the free beach service, loved the clear water on crystal beach, and loved the close proximity to stores and restaurants. Matthew was easy to reach and very helpful.. we would love to come back!! Thanks for making our vacation so memorable!

This is our second time to stay in this property. We love the lower level so that we can walk right out to the beach with no stairs/elevator. Great location with nice sidewalks for walking or riding bikes. Beach umbrella service is provided at no extra charge and no hassle.
