Stayed Jun 20, 2026Info provided by Jan was perfect and very helpful. The place was clean and in working order. The pool was kept clean. The golf cart was just what we needed all week. Need to keep charged daily though.

Stayed May 30, 2026Our family has enjoyed vacationing in and around Destin for many years now. This was our second private-pool house after many years in condos and community-pool houses. The pool was very nice if a bit small (basically a trade-off for having a spa which was also nice). I thought we would use the outdoor seating area more, but we found it was a bit too random for more use than while we were in between pool times.The bedrooms were fine, and none of the beds received complaints. The master is HUGE (maybe too big) at the expense of the other bedrooms. The master and the bunk room are the only ones with attached baths, and the bedroom just inside the front door must travel through the living room to a restroom in the middle of the night.I think our biggest issue with the rental was an expectation we had from the headline when we booked - the golf cart is (as of June 2026) NOT included in the rental price. We should have read more carefully in the caption of the photos. Note to self: read all the captions for caveats next time.Jan (the owner) was very cordial in her communications and was understanding when Vrbo changed the way they charged for the 2nd payment. Toward check-in there might have been too much communication, but I must remember that this will be the first visit to Destin for some families.I don't think our family will stay at Ocean Retreat Villa next year. We will look again for a house with attached bathrooms as that was our biggest want after our stay.

Stayed Apr 4, 2026Heated hot tub and pool was great. The host was available every time I messaged with questions or concerns and fixed things promptly. Proximity to the beach was nice. Garage was stocked with everything you would need for the beach including bikes, golf cart (extra to rent), sand toys, chairs and beach mats. Kitchen was large to accommodate our group of 12. We would happily stay here again.

Stayed Dec 20, 2025Jan is a fantastic host. She provides all the amenities you might need (bikes included!) and is very communicative. We contacted her on a question regarding the hot tub and it was remediated right away. Our 2nd stay at the house and it’s fantastic!

Stayed Jun 28, 2025Perfect Week! Jan T and the house were both great. House has everything you could want. Great kitchen with all the amenities. Rooms and beds were all comfy. Pool was great for just relaxing and reading. Kids went to the beach everyday. Quick golf cart ride to drop them off and not a bad walk if necessary. Neighborhood is quiet and community center was great. Close drive to lots of restaurants and shopping (including grocery store). A all around.

Stayed Mar 21, 2025We had a really nice stay in Destin and at this home. The home is in a gated community that was well kept and safe. The community pool and basketball court were used many times by our kids! The beach was close along with options to so many things when it rained one day. Lots of choices for groceries and food. Everything was good! The only downside was the Internet was only in the living room and there were several times it went down. They are only allowed to give out 8 bands to get into the community pool/basketball which is tough when the house sleeps more than that. We did some repairs on the bikes to get almost all of them in good working condition for the kids to use. The neighbor of this home was very nice and friendly too. We thought the parking rules may be an issue since we drove from Michigan in three large vehicles, however, it all worked out just fine. Really nice area and home. We would recommend! The host Jan was great at responding to all of our questions and needs!

Stayed Oct 11, 2024We had an amazing vacation stay in Destin! The home was clean and all basic necessities were already available in the home. From the hot tub and pool, fireplace, jacuzzi tub, golf cart rides to the beach, we will definitely be back to stay in this beautiful home.
