    Great location, we have stayed in Beach Retreat Cottages 5 times, they are always great. Close to the beach and restaurants, but also quite family atmosphere.

    It met all our expectations! The only thing we had a snake that lived up and under the font door between the step and siding! That made us so uncomfortable. We were afraid it would come into the house! I accidentally left my HDMI cord. We left your place as we found it! We cleaned before your housekeepers came.

    We had a wonderful experience staying at the beach cottage. The house was very clean and felt very comfortable. Location was perfect. Quiet area despite Destin having so many spring breakers. We walked our 2 dogs daily as the path along the beach is just outside of the complex. It was very nice to have the option of both the pool and the beach since we did have some cooler/windy days. Can’t wait to return again in the future.

    In desperate need of a deep cleaning including walls, doors, baseboards. All carpets need replacing. Couches need replacing. Under beds & behind tables & under couches were not clean. Washer & dryer look old. Was not thoroughly cleaned at all. They did offer to send housekeeping back, but this needed more than just surface cleaning. Stayed one night instead of a week. Offered to send photos of how it looked but she said that wouldn’t be necessary. Disappointed because this was our family vacation but thankful we received refund. Had to go through Vrbo to receive our lodging taxes back.
