Cozy Beach Cove
Wonderful Beach home nestled in a quiet cove just across the street from ocean. Plenty of space for our 2 family vacation with a separate room for the kids. Cove is well maintained with landscaping and brick roads to give that luxury-feel.

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.

The house was nice and spacious. We had 5 adults and 2 children. There was plenty of room. The kitchen had anything you might need. Pool was great. Short walk to the beach. The only thing we found was that the coffee pot did not work. Other than that, everything was great.

Beach vacation
Our cottage was charming and very clean. Although the cottages in the area were close together, it was quiet and other guests were friendly. Nice pool. Beautiful, uncrowded beach less than a block away. Kathy, our host, quickly helped with a few questions we had on arrival. Everyone in our family enjoyed our time here.

First time to Destin
This was also our first family beach trip in 15 years. The house was perfect. Great location, roomy, had tons of kitchen stuff (pots, pans, dishes, utensils, even a blender though we didn’t use it). I noticed from the online pics there was only had a regular coffee maker so we brought our keurig. It is also a very safe area. Went on a run everyday. Grocery store, restaurant, and retail stores close by also. We will definitely stay in this same unit on our next trip.

Wonderful house located in a gated community and just a short walk to the beach. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. The house was clean, kitchen had all the necessary utensils and we had lots of room to relax. The community pool was nice and just a short walk, too.

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!
