Beach Retreat 403-Gulf Front Pet Friendly includes Beach Service in Season

There are pros and cons with this unit. The best feature obviously is the view and that’s why we pay more for an ocean view. It’s stunning. The unit was clean. But for the price point of the condo the bathrooms are completely outdated. We had shower curtains and they had mold on them. The kitchen sink only dripped water. My husband had to fill the coffee pot in the bathroom sink every morning. This is something to consider that is not the unit owners fault but the way the beach umbrellas are done drives me crazy and angry. The first day we went to the beach we told the beach guys what unit we were staying in because we had free chairs and an umbrella. They said pick anywhere that was open and not tagged. Ok… not a lot to choose from. We were in the back, far from the water. Day 2 I got up early and went down to get a better spot. All the chairs on the front were “tagged”. Ok… I asked the beach guys how to get on the front they said “first come first serve”. And they were pretty rude. Day 3. Got down even earlier and the same thing. I asked my husband to ask the beach guys how to get on the front row and what is up with the “tags”. He asked them and they told him you could reserve your chairs for 45 and that’s what the “tags” were. So at the beginning of the week people had reserved spots for the whole week. They had lied to me. If you are a condo owner you can be on the front. I just paid thousands of for the condo. Now I need for a chair on the front at the beach.

Clean property. Nice location. Short walk to beach. We enjoyed our stay.

The place was fantastic! Easy access to the beach. Location was great. Everything you needed was just a few miles down the road and traffic was easy to get around in. With kids, an air fryer and a kurieg coffee maker would have been great to have. Also, a few more dish clothes and towels would have been nice, as they only had one of each. The best of all is that it’s pet friendly and I was able to take my fur baby. Would definitely stay here again.

All good

Perfect stay. The condo was clean and spacious. The beach is wonderful. Nice jogging trail right outside the building. Communication after booking was great. No complaints.

Great condo ! We stayed with 7 adults which wasn’t too bad considering the bunk house room was small but would be perfect for young kids. The view is excellent and the walk to the Beach is a very short distance. The area is absolutely amazing and very close to everything you would want to do including the Destin Boardwalk area.. Also being on a private beach with included chair service was fantastic. we will definitely be coming back to this condo.

Better than pics. Unit had everything, including items for kitchen meal prep, beach fun. Great attention to detail (paper towels sealed with bow). Had dishwasher issue & it was fixed literally 5 minutes after we called Becki, who is organized, conscientious, responsive.

Fabulous location, updated and super clean condo! We will be back! Across street from beach!

A wonderful property with an amazing unrestricted view of the ocean. It was clean, the kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed to cook and bake. We were grateful to find this little gem that also allowed us to bring our fur babies. Many thanks to Becki Downs for her hard work in making this property available to us!

This property was great and met all our vacation needs! Newly updated, clean, beautiful view, pet friendly - all worked out excellent for us. The only thing is my email for check in was lost and I had to bother Becki but she came right to the rescue so we could get into the unit.
