We have been staying in the Beach Retreat Community for nearly 20 years! We absolutely love this particular beach cottage! We have stayed in it a few times! The owners have thought of everything from beach chairs, toys, fans (the AC works great) extra blankets, beach towels, tables, chairs and a fully stocked kitchen!! The list goes on!! We will definitely stay again!! Thank you, Thor & Deborah!

We have stayed at Beach Retreat condos and the cottages several times. This is the best home we have stayed in. Had plenty of room and all the amenities you could need. Very clean and well maintained!

Very clean and organized property! They have thought of everything you could possibly need. Beach chairs/umbrellas/beach toys for kids!! Only suggestion I would make is you do not need to purchase a parking spot at the pool because this property is right across from the pool. Owner took care of a small issue promptly! Would love to return again!! Highly recommend!!

Our family had an amazing time! This house was perfect! It was well-stocked with dishes and everything we needed in the kitchen—the best I've ever seen. It fit our family perfectly. The hosts were friendly and responded quickly. The location was super close to the beach and restaurants. Thanks for an amazing family trip!

The pictures don't do this place justice, which easily accommodated our family of eight adults and four small children. The bedrooms were spacious (including the bunkroom, which is large enough for an adult(s)) and equipped with remote-controlled ceiling fans for individual comfort. You could see the Gulf from the third-floor living room and balcony. This rental is in a prime location, as it's the second house at Cottage Retreat. The walk to the beach was short, with the beach access located directly across the street from the entrance to Beach Retreat/Cottage Retreat. The pool's located just across the street from the rental and never felt overcrowded, even on days when there were double-red flags, and most people avoided the beach. You can purchase additional parking spots in front of the clubhouse, which is situated between the rental and the pool. Anyone parking there felt like they were still parking directly in front of the rental itself. We all loved staying here.

This was our first time in Destin, FL. We were a family of 9 adults and 1 infant. We were so pleased with the location. Short walk to the beach, easy access to the pool. Short drive to a grocery store. We had four vehicles - 2 spaces at the unit and 2 that we rented - all close to the unit.
The host was very attentive and prompt in answering any questions we might have.
The unit was well equipped with plenty of beach chairs, beach towels, umbrellas, etc. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a tremendous trip! Wonderful accommodations for all, and the home was very well equipped for our stay. The location was amazing, the beds were super comfortable, the beach was less than two minutes to walk to, plenty of beach towels and chairs, fun games to play at the house, everything so clean, and the hosts were always attentive and so quick to reply when we had an inquiry about anything. We were so pleased, and would absolutely stay again!! Thank you to Thor and Deb, amazing!!

This was the best! The kitchen was well stock as was the supply closet for outdoors. We wanted for nothing. There was never a point that anyone said, “I wish we had….”
And so close to the beach. If you are thinking about renting this property, think no longer. Just do it, you won’t be sorry

This property was a perfect fit for our family of 9. Beautifully decorated and fully equipped with lots of extras. Great location close to the pool and a short walk to the beach. Hope to come again!

4 adults and 5 kids 10 and under stayed for the week. More than enough room for everyone. Beach access was quick and convenient. Kids loved the private pool area as well. We will definitely use this house again in the future.

Location was perfect! Close to pool, beach and restaurants. The house was clean, plenty of room for 12 of us and Thor and Deborah were very easy to communicate with. We needed additional parking which is right across the way from the condo and that process was easy. We stayed in Destin pointe for 7 years and are so glad we tried this area and found this gem! We will definitely be booking this house again!

We had a party of 14 people from ages 1 month-35 and we all had a great time! This was by far one of the nicest properties we've ever rented and everything exceeded our expectations in terms of amenities!

This place was perfectly stocked with what we needed and then some. We enjoyed the beach, the pool and the house. Close to shopping and restaurants and has everything you need to make a meal. Thank you hosts for setting this up the way you did! We have rented many times and your place was just awesome!

5.0
The house was located just across the street from the ocean. Super easy walk when carrying beach chairs and toys. The pool and fitness center were a few steps away, and the neighborhood was quiet and secluded from the busy beach front road. The property was clean and updated, I would definitely recommend this house for a large group.

Host was very friend and quick to respond.
The location and home was as they indicated and might be even better. Everything you can think of for the kids to play at the pool or beach was available and if not shops were supper close by.The kitchen was wonderfull with the the equipment you may need for family dinners.
We could not stop talkinh about house close we were to the beach. We loved it.
Thank you for your hospitality.

This place was perfect for the 3 small families we had. This is the second time we have stayed at Cottage Retreat, and this house is one that we will come back to. It is super close to the pool and beach, and the house has everything you need. I really loved that the kitchen is on the first floor. We are already considering this house again for next year!

This Resort home was just what we were looking for. Comfortable and Conveniently Close to the Pool and Beach. This gated community was nice and offered two parking spots directly in front of our beach house. Walking in, we knew this was going to be a great stay for us. The entire third floor was designated to our teenagers and other children with their own bathroom to share.The second floor has 2 master rooms with their own bathrooms. Leaving the first floor with the living room, kitchen, laundry room, and half bath. On the first night of our stay, both families mentioned how comfortable the beds were. This home was perfect for our two families. The owner is very quick to respond if you need anything and is very polite and welcoming as well.

We've stayed in this house before and love all the room and the layout. The new owners have everything there that you'd ever need. The pool and beach access are great as well!

My husband and I have stayed in many beach houses and condos over the years. This was, by far, the best place we have ever stayed. We were a little sad that we weren’t going to see the beach from the house, but it was definitely a trade off with everything this place had to offer! They supplied EVERYTHING that you would need to take to the beach or the pool, including the towels! The beach was literally a few min walk to the beach. The pool was right across from the house. We had 11(10 adults and 1 kid) people here. Half from Ohio and half from Texas. The beach was never crowded, plenty of space. The thing we loved the most was that we didn’t have to get up at 5 am to put a tent up to save our spot! The owners were wonderful and easy to talk to. We definitely want to go back there again! Thank you so much!

We stayed here with our children and grandchildren ages 2 and 7 months. It was spacious enough to spread out and definitely one of the best stocked rentals I have stayed at. It was a quiet neighborhood and just a short walk to the beautiful beach. We made some wonderful memories. Thank you so much!

We have been to Destin several times, this house is by far the nicest place we have stayed at. Everything about this house was perfect. It is a two minute walk to the beach so very easy to get back and forth. The house is stocked with all the essentials including the best beach chairs. We enjoyed every second of our stay. Big thanks to the owners for providing such a nice place.

This house was the perfect set up for our two families that vacationed together. It is right across from the pool and a super short walk to the beach. Of all the rentals we have stayed at, this was by far the cleanest. Every surface and space was clean, no clutter, they provided ther perfect amount of towels. The owners were quick to reply when we had questions. No complaints at all! Thanks so much for letting us rent your house!

This is a fantastic property with amazing hosts!! House is beautiful and ideally located within minutes of everything. Hosts outfitted house with everything we could need including ”extras” for our daily visits to the beach. Hosts are exceptional with communication and providing details. House is very clean and is well appointed. We definitely want to book again!!

We had a great time at beach retreat. Wish the weather had been warmer.The house was plenty big for my family of 5,very close to beach,beautifully decorated,& very comfy seating in living room. We watched tons of movies. Hot tub was great! Too cold to swim in pool since not heated for winter. Host responsive whenever we needed her which wasn't that much since everything was taken care of. Love that it was pet friendly. In great,safe location.

DESTINation was a beautiful haven for our family during our fall break. Our week was so comfortable in the home with plenty of space to accommodate all ages. The beaches were spectacular- cool clear water and soft sand- and we easily spotted several sea creatures. The owners thought of every detail to provide a memorable vacation, that we hope to return again!

We loved our stay in this beautiful condo! This condo was well supplied with all the comforts of home. The easy 2 minute stroll to the beautiful sugar-sand beach was convenient for kids and grandparents alike. Owners were very responsive to any questions or concerns we had.
This lovely home helped make wonderful family memories!

We had a wonderful time the unit we rented was exactly as presented on VBRO. It was clean, the pool was great and a very short walk to the beach. The only negative was the fact that we could not use our tents we brought. They have chairs and umbrellas for rent at a VERY HIGH cost almost $50 per day for 2 chairs and 1 umbrellas and there were 6 adults and 2 children in our party. We would defiantly make this a annual stay if chairs and umbrellas were part of the rental or able to use tents, but this will be our last stay at this location. We have learned to make sure tents are allowed on the beach before we book in the future.

Great house with a lot of extras. convenient to just about anything you want to do. easy access to the beach. my family had so much fun. Hope to come back!
4.0
The property was nice, but one of the bathrooms were not cleaned upon arrival (no big deal). Once we all settled in, our vacation rental was plentiful and relaxing. The location was great. The correspondence prior to our stay was thorough and informative. The owners were great, especially early on when we needed to adjust dates. We hope to be back soon. I'd highly recommend!!!

Another awesome family vacation on the books. Our cottage was perfect for family. Plenty of room. Very clean, well stock. Amenities were really good. We love the location, directly across from private beach. Only semi negative is the community pool needs work. Starting to deteriorate. Needs cleaned more often.
