Honestly no complaints- We’ve stayed in other Beach Retreat condos so know what to expect. Communication was easy and quick with the property management.
Great location. Even though there is a busy street between the unit and the beach, it was still quiet inside the condo. Such an easy walk to the beach with daily chair and umbrella setup. Great pool as well!
We loved the condo including the location, the beach access, the view, the umbrella and chairs included, the pool, and if that wasn't enough, being pet friendly so we could include our four legged family member too! We loved it so much we already booked our second visit.
We had a wonderful time. The place was in a great location with a beautiful view and just a short walk to the beach. This was our 2nd time staying at this resort and we will stay again.

We loved our stay at the Beach Retreat in Destin, FL. The beach is only steps away and absolutely gorgeous! The condo was well equipped with all the necessities for a week long stay, clean, and cozy! The pool area was a perfect setting as well! We would definitely recommend this retreat and hope to visit again someday.

The condo is clean and comfortable. The beach is easily accessible and chairs are readily available. I would recommend this property to anyone wanting a getaway in Destin.
This is our 5th stay at Beach Retreat, it never fails us.
We have always stayed in the Cottages at Beach Retreat, none were available for our dates. Tried the Condo and it was perfect for our family of 4. The views are fantastic. Proximity to beach is great. Would totally stay here again and again!

We had a great time at this property, it was very clean, organized and easy to check in. The property is within walking distance to shopping and places to eat. The property manage or was quick to respond to any questions we had during our stay.
Check in was super easy and our small dogs were welcome! We enjoyed sitting on the patio and meeting new friends. Beach access was super convenient and beach service was appreciated! Just wish the weather was as nice as our condo!
We have stayed at beach retreat several times but this was the first time in this unit. We loved the ground floor which was perfect for our pup.! Great beach access with beach service. It's walking distance to some great restaurants! The bunks are great for kids!
The condo was perfect for what we needed, great location, the property was secure and all with a view.

Great condo which is well maintained and is stocked very well with all essentials. Owners are very good to work with and checkin and out was very easy. Great location on Scenic Hwy 98 near restaurants and on beautiful stretch of beach. Would definitely recommend any of these owners properties as we have stayed at several of theirs and all were well maintained and nicely decorated,

We really enjoyed our stay here. Perfect location, the house had everything we needed. There are some Restaurants close by. The view was amazing. Communication with host was great. They were there when we reached out and needed them and otherwise on our own, which we liked very much.
We’d rent this place again for sure.
You cannot beat the location of this property. It is literally across the street from the ocean and walking distance to some fun restaurants. We were willing to compromise on a few things because of where it is located but were pleasantly surprised with it all. The apartment was clean, nicely decorated and everyone slept well on the mattresses. The owners were quick to respond when we had questions/concerns. 10/10 would recommend.

Great Location
This is our second time staying here for a total of three weeks. This week was spring break for a lot of students. The ones I met while walking my dogs were nice! My only issue was with the rental motor scooters, two and three wheeled. I don't think any of them have mufflers! I think I'll write a letter to the city! LOL!
In all of my years, I have never been SO thrilled with a beach rental. Upon arrival, I was delighted with the excellent parking area. Every square inch of the condo was spotless and well maintained. I honestly do not think the VRBO description does it justice. You can simply sit on the couch and enjoy the most peaceful and beautiful view, or open your door and walk 30 yards and be standing on the spotless beach. My communication with Renee was prompt, courteous, and efficient. I was able to bring my dog along, and that meant the world to me. I highly recommend and will be back.
