Muy espaciosa y limpia muy bonita y cómoda la pasamos bien la playa a unos pocos minutos caminado . La volvería a rentar en un futuro el anfitrión nos proporcionó toda la información mucho antes. Eso fue genial muchas gracias por todo
The house was amazing nor far from the beach very clean when we found it very cute has a lot of room
It was amazing good stay good beds awesome house lots of room couch is literally amazing bed comfortable backyard good not far from the beach gooood Jacuzzi would definitely recommend
The house was great. The beds were comfortable. The kids really enjoyed the hot tub, the rest of us enjoyed the A/C. There were some issues with the hot tub but we did not contact the Manager. The water stayed warm and the kids were happy with that. There is a learning curve to operate the dryer and shower in the main bathroom. All in all it was a good place to stay.
This property was perfect for our large family and because of its proximity to our favorite beach. We walked there daily and enjoyed the hot tub daily as well.
The instructions state to contact property owner 2 hours prior to arrival which we did make several attempts to reach him - his phone went straight to voicemail - unable to reach owner by phone - we showed up at the house at 5:00 - the neighborhood pool guy was able to contact the owner and enter the code to access the property - after accessing the property, was later told an email was sent with our check in information - this was not made clear during the booking process
The kitchen cabinets were peeling and full of dirty dishes. Several drawers in the refrigerator were broken. The ice maker was not working.
The tile flooring was dirty. Our feet stayed black.
The couch should be taken to the dump. There is a piece of plywood under the cushions. One side of the sectional is collapsed. Very uncomfortable living room area.
There was not enough pots and pans to cook. No measuring cups. No hand soap for the bathrooms. Only a small bar soap. Ridiculous.
The location is excellent. Very close walk to the beach. Hot tub takes up entire porch space. No golf cart.
Over all it was a great house and a great location. Minor issues that we just ignored or didn't use the hot tub because the controller wouldn't work properly. Doors needed some oil they were very loud opening an closing. Over all will use again if available.
This place was amazing!! Even nicer than the pics , if that is even possible. Great location. Privacy when you want it, but a short walk to beach or ride in the complimentary golf cart that was there for your convenience.. hot tub was a plus when relaxing in the evening after a long day. So much to say about this place . I will definitely come back when in Destin Florida. Yowceph was a wonderful host. When I needed anything he responded back in minutes. Like I said, I just can’t say enough about this home . Beautiful , clean , comfortable beds and plenty of everything you need for a great vacation !!!! ❤️
The house was amazing and perfectly located close to the beach!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back again soon! Check-in was very simple as were the home instructions. We walked to the beach daily due to the closeness. This home is in a private, quiet neighborhood and had all the amenities we needed plus some! The home is beautifully decorated. The beds and linens are very comfortable!

Great stay
The home is beautifully renovated with a fresh decor and big open space for big parties. We had a group of 15 including an infant and everything is provided. The owner is easy to work with, never intruded or interrupted our stay. The location is great, close drop off with the golf cart or short 1/2 mile walk to the beach. I would highly recommend this home. The only thing lacking is a pool at the home but because the beach is so beautiful and close you can do without the pool! Our first big family vacay and we loved it, definitely will be back! Thanks Y for all your help and my 146 questions 😁

Paradise Retreat was perfect for our family vacation! Super clean and very well kept.
The house itself was perfect. It was just the right size for our family group of 10 that stayed. Everything was great; the house was perfectly clean, the property is well maintained, the hot tub and the golf cart were great additions as well! The owner was very helpful and easy to contact. I absolutely loved the decor in the house, it is perfect and just puts you in the mood to be on vacation! One thing that stuck out to me was how comfortable the bed linens were! Thank you for our stay in Paradise Retreat, would love to come back!

Stop looking and stay here!!
We recently stayed in this beautiful home as a family of 6. The rooms and beds would comfortably sleep 16 people with plenty of room to move around the house. We plan on coming back soon with 2 other families since this house had so much room! The floor plan is very open and inviting. Every room has comfortable beds and a nice size TV with an amazon firestick for watching Netflix, Youtube etc... (the kids loved that) Plenty of dining space and seating for family meals. The home also has a nice outdoor space with a grill and lounge chairs. The Golf Cart is an added plus and makes it easy to grab what you need from a dollar store just outside of the neighborhood or access the beach just down the street. Customer Service with the owner is outstanding. We had a couple of questions during our stay that were answered by phone within 2 minutes. This home is convenient to shopping at the Destin Commons, grocery stores, popular local restaurants and of course close to the beach with private deeded beach access. Nothing at all negative to say and hope to stay again soon!

The property was stunning!
my stay in this beautiful spacious home was absolutely amazing. Not only was the home beautifully decorated but it has high end quality from top to bottom, it was immaculate and the best part is from the home it's a 2 minute walk to the beach. If your looking for something that's minutes away from all of destins hottest spots, very private & quiet I highly suggest this home!

Beautifully decorated, Spacious and hidden gem
We loved this house! It's so beautifully decorated, comfortable, and spacious. The kitchen is big, the bedrooms and beds are comfortable. The beach is a short walk and there are also two restaurants you can also walk to. Great place! Can't wait to come back and I will be telling my friends and family about this hidden gem.
