Not far from the restaurants and balcony looks over the dunes to the gulf! We always stay at Island Retreat because you can walk to the beach! This unit is great for two couples, but it is showing some minor wear.

We enjoy IR stays!
This condo was perfect for 4 - beds were comfy, kitchen was well stocked, towels were plenty, balcony was nice. Bring trash bags though! We only had the original for a 4 night/5 day stay.
Overall would book again! :)

Thank you for your review! We are so thrilled you enjoyed your visit! We hope to see you again soon!
We were a multi-generational family group, ages 4 to 74, and we all had a great time. The condo accommodated 2 couples and 2 young ones easily. The location is absolutely perfect, with quick access on a boardwalk to a nice beach, no car or jeep needed. Everything in the condo was as described. The 6 of us could eat together at the kitchen bar. The pool was a great alternative to the beach. We got lucky with a live band playing at the pool one evening. We would definitely go back.

Thank you for sharing such a heartwarming review! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that your multi-generational family had a memorable stay with us. It’s wonderful to know that our condo provided ample space and comfort for everyone, from the youngest to the eldest.
Our location is indeed one of our biggest highlights, offering that perfect blend of convenience and natural beauty. We're glad you enjoyed the easy beach access and that our description met your expectations.
It's fantastic to hear that you made good use of both the kitchen bar for family meals and the pool as an alternative to the beach. And how lucky to have enjoyed a live band by the pool! Those spontaneous moments truly add a special touch to the experience.
We would be delighted to welcome you and your family back anytime. Thank you once again for your kind words, and for choosing us for your family getaway.
Warmest regards,
Life in Paradise Team
We loved this place. The only issues were that the TVs weren’t working. I also tried to contact someone several time shortly after booking about a late checkout request and never got a response. After checking in the front desk people approved a late checkout but I was told last minute on checkout day that I had to be out because the owners were checking in. Other than that, our stay was fabulous. I was very impressed how comfortable the beds were; I’m pretty pick when it comes to a good mattress but slept like a baby.

Thank you for the review. We appreciate your respond and apologize for any lack of communication on our part. We pride ourselves on customer service. We hope you will stay at our properties again and give us another try.
The resort double booked our room. They fixed it at the last minute, but none the less, we had to deal with scrambling around to have a place to stay.

Price was right. Stay was right. Lovely, comfortable condo. Location great. Laundry close by. Could walk to beach from condo. Enjoyed balcony also. Would like to plan for same time and condo next October. How soon can we do that? Front door could do with a fresh coat of paint. Other than that, perfect.
