WALKING TRAIL just in front of our gated community. You can't help but to WANT to go for long walks on the lovely palm tree-lined path.
VALUE: While we're not beachfront, our cottage is the next best thing because we are just a 3 minute walk to the beach, and we are in a superb beach community and offer extra perks while saving you $1000 or more what the beachfronts would charge.
This is the ideal place to pile on great beach memories!
Besides the fantastic beach at MIramar Beach (we provide beach service set up in season!)...

Destin, Florida is known as the ”World’s Luckiest Fishing Village,” & boasts of being home to the largest fishing vessel fleet in the state of Florida. Fish from the beach or boat. If you do not want to bring your boat, one of Destin’s many charter boats would love the opportunity to take you out for full or half day excursions. Water surrounds Destin with the intercoastal waterway to the north and Gulf on the south, creating an abundance of water sports available, including kayaking, wave running, parasailing, kite surfing, snorkeling and so much more!
Destin has it all.
This cottage was nice! Comfortable and private and only a few minutes walk to the beach. Loves being on the end of the street with more privacy.
We had a wonderful stay that could have only been better if the weather had cooperated the whole week. The house was very nice! My only complaint is that we were expecting a futon bed in the king room, only to find out one wasn’t located in there. There was a twin pullout under one of the bunk beds but was useless due to the fact that there is no room for any person to leave either set of bunks, top or bottom, with the bed pulled out unless you wanted that person trampled! It wasn’t an issue for us since there is a sleeper sofa in the living room, but if you are expecting to have use of that bed and need all the bunks as well, it just isn’t possible.
The property was fantastic! Kathy is a wonderful property manager that always responds within 15 minutes. The house was less than a 3 minute walk to the beach, less than 1 minute walk to the pool, and completely gated. I love how dog friendly the community was. This property is well managed. I am excited to book more properties in the Beach Retreat Community for the future!
In general, I’m quite pleased with this property, which felt very spacious and beach-themed. My caveats are that it’s clear the time has come for an overhaul in some areas. There are a few pieces of wall art/fixtures that are beginning to strip and pull away from the wall. There was one window blind with a missing section. If this had been all, these would amount to incredibly minor complaints. The real problem comes down to the kitchen. The disposal unit in the sink had a bad leak that required me to place a tea pitcher under it to collect all the water and detritus, then dump it in a bathtub daily, so it wouldn’t spill out all over the kitchen floor. A call was put in to the manager to have it repaired, but this was never followed up upon. Also, the stove is atrocious, with a top and bottom oven, one of which cooks at too low of a temp, the other of which cooks at too high of one. When paired with the beaten up cookware that was provided, we ruined both pancakes and omelettes and had a devil of a time getting anything to cook evenly in the oven. Fix the sink, update the cookware, and put in a whole new oven and you’d have a five-star property (the beach is luscious and anything you need is within a fifteen-minute radius). As it is, prepare for the kitchen to put a serious twist in your ability to fully relax and enjoy your vacation.
The house was very nice and clean. We will be back next summer.
Clean, very easy checkin, lots of beach chairs umbrellas available. Very enjoyable stay. Will come again for sure
We had a great time and enjoyed everything about the house
Great location but the house sucked! Had to bleach the towels before we could take a shower. Some friends came over with a little dog and they we’re sending e-mail. Rented a golf cart and they were sending emails . I would NEVER stay there again . And would NOT recommend it to nobody
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The home was just as described. Loved the location and quiet neighborhood. The pool area was almost always empty! We’ll definitely keep this home in mind for our future vacations.
It was a great property for us to stay at. Nice pool and close to the beach.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The set up of the beach retreat cottages is very convenient to beautiful Miramar Beach. Our host was very responsive and helpful during our stay.
Sea-La-Vie is a fully self-contained 3bedroom cottage nestled in the back of Cottage Retreat. The accommodations were great with a well-stocked kitchen, great layout in the unit with plenty of space for my family of 5. The cottage is just steps away from the private beach entrance with beach service provided. The pool was heated and clean, plenty of lounge chairs. Great location near to shopping and restaurants, some within walking distance. We will definitely be returning to Cottage Retreat!
This was a lovely find for a getaway for spring break. The accommodations were great and such an easy walk to the beach. No need to leave once you get there! Would come back again for sure!
Renting the property was very easy and Kathy responded quickly any time I messaged her or had a question.
The cottage was very nice and quiet. We had 5 adults, 1 infant and pets with plenty of room. The dogs were not a fan of the stairs and my knees were not a fan either. LOL! My daughter slept in the bunkbed upstairs and said it was very uncomfortable. My only other complaints were the oven not working properly and the community pool always had a lot of grass and dirt that was not cleaned up by the pumps. The host was very informative and helpful. I happen to leave a very important toiletry bag at the cottage after we departed and she retrieved it and mailed it out to me with no hesitation. I was truly thankful for her prompt response to my request. Overall it's a very nice community close to the beach and several very good restaurants, stores, etc...
