Wonderful Spot for a Family Reunion

This was our second family reunion held at the Retreat. Our room was large and comfortable, the beach is close by, and the pool is a great place to hang out between beach visits. The large grill on-site made group dinners easy. Overall, a terrific experience.

We absolutely loved the stay here. Our room was so adorable and very clean. Katie the general manager is such a doll as is Jenny the housekeeper. We absolutely loved taljing with them both. The maintanance gentleman also was such a pleasant person, we had some problems with the toilet the first night we arrived, we spoke to him next morning and he promtly fixed the problem. We would stay here again in a heart beat. Thank you for the great experience at your amazing motel.

My best friend and I stayed a long weekend on this property and had the best time. Check in and communication with the owner was great, the property was wonderful being across the street from the beach access and quick driving distance from the restaurants and shopping on the pier. The room had a queen bed and a loveseat that transitioned into a twin bed. It was perfect for two friends or would be great for a couple and one child. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Great property with awesome location and a pool!

I really enjoyed our stay at BBR! It was fantastic having a pool but also being within a 3-5 minute walk to the beach. The property was very clean upon arrival, all instructions were clear, and communication with the property manager was friendly and prompt. It was really nice that the property had beach chairs that you could take with you to the beach. It seems they have thought of almost everything! The only recommendation I would provide is to have another mirror in the rental somewhere :)

Perfect for what we needed

We had a great time at this property and the family atmosphere of the property was an added bonus. Ubers were very accessible for where we needed to go and staff was very attentive and friendly. I think the only thing that we would have like were a little more up to date kitchen equipment. The pots and pans were very used/ old. Making them hard to use and the stove was unlevel. We struggled with the sink and the faucet. Other than those minimal things, our stay couldn’t have been better!

Fun family vacation

This is a great location, the grounds were tidy, and well managed. We liked that there were USB charger outlets throughout the room making it so easy to charge phones, watches, and devices. Brent and Katie were great communicators. The room was perfect for myself, husband, and two boys under 7. It would be snug for groups larger than that though. The only criticism I have is there was a pretty thick layer of dust on the lamp shade (which was broken, but didn’t bother us) and also dust fell from the ceiling fan when we turned it on. The rest of the room was very clean. We’d recommend this property in a second for anyone looking to spend some time at beautiful Treasure Island.

Perfect for us

We really enjoyed our stay. The communication and check-in process was slick. Love the keypad, don't have to worry about card/key. The little touches were some of my favorite things: shelves & ledges to put my personal items, baskets to keep our random essentials organized, hooks near the door for bags & towels - just to name a few. Really appreciated the ice in the freezer and roomy kitchen. The bed was quite comfortable and putting the two, fold-out chairs together with a foam topper was adequate for my teen son. My favorite spot each morning was small table and chairs, outside my door to play solitaire and drink coffee. The pool area is charming - great for sun and shade. The use of all the water/beach items is super convenient. Location is great. As a single mom, bringing my kids to Florida for spring break, this was ideal...quaint and didn't break the bank. Thank you!!

Does not have multiple beds

The listing said two twin beds and a queen. Unfortunately this unit had only a queen. The manager noted the fold-out chairs - literally as wide as a dining chair - that made a platform about six inches off the floor. We would not have booked this unit for four adults if this had been clear from the listing. Management would not make it right with other beds, other room, or a discount. This colored our entire experience. Fortunately, the rest of the experience was very good as far as cleanliness, quality, and other guests. The pool was nice.
