Brooke is a great host. Very easy to work with, let us check-in early because the condo was ready early. Room was great, decorated beautifully, and beach chair/umbrella set included is a big plus. We will always choose Beach Retreat.

Picked the right place

Very pleased with our decision to stay in this gulf front, pet friendly condo. Unobstructed view of gulf from patio and love the pet friendly accommodations. Kitchen was well stocked and pool / hot tub area was very clean and private. Host was very responsive to the few questions we had.

Perfect week at Beach Retreat 204

Another beautiful stay at unit 204 Beach Retreat. This unit and complex are the a few of most desirable condos in Miramar Beach. Location is great, unit is furnished to pamper and view is spectacular, nothing in way of beach view.

Clean, convenient, coastal

This place is ideal for families. We sat on the balcony with our coffee in the mornings and watched the waves crash. It was very clean and tidy. Perfect location to all area attractions. Parking is easy. It is so nice to be able to walk across the street to white sand beaches. Will book this place again. Perfect vrbo experience.

Wonderful Week

This condo was beautifully decorated, very clean & had everything we needed. The beach view was amazing & having beach chairs already setup was very convenient. There were many dining options within walking distance but the condo was well equipped for cooking too. We loved the walking paths & the community seems very pet friendly. We had a perfect stay & will most definitely be back soon.

The Ultimate Vacation “Destin”ation!

The property and surrounding area are magical. You have stunning ocean views from the balcony and a perfect beach vibe decor inside your oasis. It was stunning how white the sand was and how amazing it felt to walk on the beach. The water was incredibly clear with an amazing mixture of colors. Private access to the beach was SO convenient and made our stay one to remember. We will definitely be back!
