Family/Friends Beach Vacation

Loved this location and rental. This was our 3rd summer in a row traveling to Destin area. This was the best location for our family. Short walk to beach and shorter walk to pool. Loved the quiet street and parking a few feet outside our door. Kids rode bikes and parents rode scooters on the private cul-de-sac. Will be staying again next summer.

Great Girls Getaway

This place is very clean, comfortable, beautiful, spacious, quiet and has everything you could possibly imagine. I have to say I have stayed at numerous Condos and this is way better than any condo. All the girls in my family have started a tradition of having a girls only getaway and this was the second year to stay at the Beach Retreat Cottages, both stays were GREAT. We will definitely be returning next year.

We loved the house!

I wanted to let you know how much we loved the house! As you know, we have stayed in about 7 of the homes in Cottage Retreat and this one is now one of our favorites. The kitchen was well stocked and we appreciated that it had several sets of cookware and dishes/glasses so we didn't feel like we had to run the dishwasher multiple times a day to keep up :) The beds and pillows were very comfortable, the tvs were the best we have had in any of the home we stayed in and the layout was perfect for our family. You are such a pleasure to work with Kathy and we will be planning another trip down there for the same time next year. We are discussing coming down for maybe two weeks next time. One just never seems like enough time!

Amazing location, great communication

We returned to Beach Retreat the 2nd time in 6 months. Location is great. House was spacious, clean and well equipped. Kathy was great to communicate with. Had a minor problem with the lock which she responded to immediately, resolving the issues. We would have loved to sit outside on the first floor but only had one chair, my elderly parents cannot do the stairs to the balcony. The association needs to address the cleanliness of the hot tub. The filter did not seem to work. It did not really clean the water as it was turning green. Same problem we had in November. Overall, great stay!
