Exterior
Equipped with a Fully Customized Pool & Spa Experience, the backyard features a large heated saltwater pool with a mood lighting system that automatically turns on at night. Built into the pool, you will find a saltwater hot tub that features the same mood lighting and a waterfall that flows into the pool below, creating a relaxing, true spa atmosphere.
With a 9ft privacy fence around the entire yard, oversized dining table under the back porch, luxury outdoor kitchen with grill/fridge/big screen TV, outdoor shower, and plenty of seating around the pool, the backyard is primed for great cookouts and downtime after a long day at the beach and exploring the Emerald Coast.

Interior
The inside of The Retreat is one of the few properties that can comfortably accommodate its maximum occupancy of 20.

Attached to this room is another en-suite bathroom with a tiled shower and quartz double vanity.
The main level of this home was built to encompass an open concept design with the kitchen, dining area, and living room being a perfect place for conversation, entertainment, and family-style dining. Along with the 3 King bedrooms on the main level, The Retreat also provides a pantry next to the kitchen with enough food storage for large meals, as well as a laundry room with washer and dryer.
The upper level of The Retreat invites you and your group to kick back and relax after a long day in the sun. Alongside the 5 en-suites upstairs (4 King/1 Bunk Room), you will immediately be greeted with a large and welcoming entertainment area that is perfect for watching movies, playing games, or taking an afternoon power nap to prepare for the evening. Located next to the entertainment area is an upstairs kitchenette/bar area with a sink, beverage refrigerator, and Keurig coffee machine, making the space perfect for hosting.

5.0 / 5.0
This property is amazing! The pictures do not do it justice. It was comfortable, family friendly, and enough room for all 22 of us. The rooms were all very spacious and the beds and pillows extremely comfortable. Too many positives to mention!!! The host tried really hard to get us in early, but because of damages from the previous people, it was impossible. Not only that, the owner called me that first day to let me know the handy man would be by to fix things broken. He was a joy to talk to for sure!! The communication was easy and quick. The golf cart was a huge win. I was worried being not right on the beach, but we rented two extra golf carts (so we had three for all of us), and it was perfect. The pool and the spa made it fine being away from the beach. The beach wasn't even far away. It was an easy walk, bike ride, or golf cart trip. The bikes were another win!! We ABSOLUTELY loved this property. They have everything you might need. The only issue was the fridge. It took a while to catch up with all the food that we put in it that first night. To the owner, I might recommend a rug by the back door for when people come in from the pool to the restroom to avoid slipping. We just used one of our beach towels. Because of this place, I won't hesitate not being right on the beach again. This was the best of everything!!!! Highly recommend this property!

Destin is one of our new favorite places to visit and we would rent this home again. The house was exactly how it was advertised! The host was so easy to work with and the communication was top notch !
The pool / hot tub was a big hit with the kids.

The house was clean and spacious. It was incredibly helpful to have a bathroom attached to each bedroom. The outdoor space was beautiful. Highly recommend this house for a large group. We never felt crowded and we had 18 people! Thomas is very responsive and helpful. Thank you for an amazing weekend!

Great location. .2 to Beach and .3 to Destin Commons. We stayed from Dec. 28 - Dec. 31. Pack extra 13 gallon trash bags, paper towels, toilet paper, bar soap for 8 bathrooms when staying 3 or more days. The heated pool was great. Spa was cool for adults. We would stay here again. Thomas was a great host.
5.0 / 5.0
The house is beautiful and very spacious. The heated pool was a plus and the little ones loved it. The golf cart came in handy as we had another house close by with family. We were there for a thanksgiving family reunion and everything was perfect. Thomas was very accommodating and responded to my many questions. Couldn’t have asked for a better house or host! Thank you!

5.0 / 5.0
This property was everything we hoped for and more. It had all the accommodations and was very clean. The house was even bigger than anticipated which was awesome. The beds and sheets were beyond comfortable. The bikes and golf cart were so fun to have, but we were so close to everything we could easily walk too. This is a perfect space for any group, young or old and look forward to coming back with my kids so they can enjoy the pool as much as we did! You will not regret tending this beautiful home.
5.0 / 5.0
This property exceeded our expectations! This home is GORGEOUS, so well thought out, so spacious...the pictures do not do it justice. Communication with owner was prompt and thorough. Location doesn't get any better. Super clean home, super comfortable beds, and an oasis for a backyard. Palm trees lining the driveway and backyard 😍. This house has all the "extra" you've been looking for. We will definitely be back! Thanks to the Wests for hosting us! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! ❤️

I have stayed at several beach houses with my dance team and this is by far the best experience we have had! Gorgeous house and perfect location! It was close enough to the beach that we could walk but my girls loved having the bikes and the adults loved the golf cart 😂 It’s in such a great area that we felt comfortable letting the girls ride the bikes even to get ice cream. The inside was decorated beautifully and the outside area was fabulous! Thomas was so nice and was in communication with us making sure we had everything we needed. We definitely hope to be back next year with our team but hopefully sooner with my own family!

Our group of 24 people absolutely enjoyed our stay at The Retreat. The house was brand new, very spacious, clean, fully stocked in terms of bath supply, towels, bed & linen, Kitchen utensils and Dishes, even including board games. Bicycles and the Golf cart helped us get around to shops or beach which were really not that far. The host very flexible and responsive. We spent a lot of time at the Swimming pool and the backyard and they helped us to create great memories with our friends and family.
5.0 / 5.0
My group enjoyed our stay at this property. The property manager was quick to respond to any problem that might have occurred and was always willing to help. The photos honestly do not do this property justice. The space felt even bigger than it looked in the photos. Having the large furniture inside and out was wonderful and allowed our entire group to sit together during meals and down time. The beds were extremely comfy. The location is perfect! Short golf cart ride to the beach or the Publix grocery store. You can’t go wrong with this house!
5.0 / 5.0
Our stay here was amazing . This property looks better in person . The host went above and beyond for us as some things out of their control happened . They did everything to make the situation right . We had a family of all ages and it was perfect . The backyard is amazing to host nice outside bbq while enjoying the family . This house is equipt with everything that is needed to enjoy the beach . I would recommend anyone booking with them my family and I will surely be making this our family vacation home when we visit Destin !

Our family has 18 members who could attended one Destin this year. We had an absolute awesome stay at this property. The pool was perfectly sized for a large group with plenty of room. The house layout was ideal and everyone had room to spread out. It was everything promised. Communication with our host was timely and responsive. Thank you just a great time had by all.

Beautiful beach house!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the retreat! Close to Destin Commons, with a very short walk to the beach. This house was fully equipped with everything needed for our large party.

Beautiful memories
The resort was an amazing house. It was beautifully decorated, clean, spacious, and everything we could wish for. The pool and jacuzzi was loved and enjoyed by all in our party, toddlers to senior citizens alike. Everything was within walking distance…grocery, fast food, beach access 5 minutes away, but we enjoyed the six bikes all the same. I could only wish I had more time to enjoy evening bike rides around the neighborhood.
The host was courteous, helpful, and prompt to reply to messages. We would definitely stay here again if we get another chance to visit Destin.
5.0 / 5.0
PERFECT Modern large space + great location!
We had a large group and this house was PERFECT. Every room (besides the bunk room) had a king bed + attached bathroom and was so modern and new! Pool + hot tub was well loved and we were just so impressed we would definitely come back! Thomas was so incredibly helpful and answered every call + text! A+ Host + House! Only recommendation we had for the house was black out curtains for the rooms - other than that one detail - PERFECTION!
5.0 / 5.0
Highly Recommended !!!
It was a new, clean and comfortable house. Definitely choose this house again if we come back to Crystal beach😊
