Amazing views!
Incredible spot right on the beach, it’s even closer than it appears online! It was great just being able to walk down and go swimming every day!

Pleased for the most part
We enjoyed our stay very much at Retreat By the Sea. The kitchen was well stocked and the short walk to the beach was amazing!! There were two things we were unhappy with. I'll share these because I think you would want to change them for future guests. 1-the towels in the bathrooms were few and very very thin and used. 2-I'm sure at least two of the king beds had sand in them when we got in them the first night. Other than that, we were very pleased.

The Perfect Get Away
Retreat by the Sea was the perfect get away for my family of seven. We enjoyed being close to the water, having plenty of outdoor seating, having all the kitchen appliances we needed, being in a great location, having plenty of privacy, and sleeping very comfortably. I highly recommend Retreat by the Sea to anyone looking for the perfect beach trip!
