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!

Great Vacation Spot!

We have stayed in the Beach Retreat community several times over the past 5 years, it really can't be beat! This is our favorite property that we have stayed in in the community. The size of the house and layout is ideal for two families, and proximity to the beach and the pool is perfect!

Amazing House

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.

About the host

Hosted by Thor & Deborah Goricki

Host profile image
Thor and Deborah Goricki are the proud owners of 90 Beach Retreat Place! We searched for two years for the perfect home away from home and finally found it! We currently live in Alpharetta, GA and have two children, Aidan and Anna! We are excited to share our home with you and your family and know that you will make lasting memories as we plan to do as well!

Why they chose this property

We chose Miramar Beach for the beautiful beaches and clear waters. We searched for a home that had an easy walk to the beach and wonderful amenities such as the pool and hot tub. We needed a large house as we have a big extended family! And, we wanted other families to be able to be together and enjoy as well!

What makes this property unique

In addition to enjoying our wonderful beach, there is plenty more to do in Destin. If you wish to explore the local area, you’ll find many choices. Sidewalks line Scenic 98 for walking, running or bike riding. We are a short 2-mile drive to Sliver Sands Mall to the West or luxury shopping at Destin Commons to the East. You will find over 100 stores at Silver Sands Outlet Mall such as Polo, Ralph Lauren, Banana Republic, Tommy Hilfiger, Lenox, Nike and much more. If you want to eat out, you could enjoy delicious food at Kenny D’s, The Crab Trap and Pompano Joe’s all are within walking distance from the Beach Retreat Cottages. Destin is full of exciting night life if you venture into town. In addition, you could rent bikes, go snorkeling, jet skiing, parasailing, rent scooters, miniature golf, enjoy a movie at the Rave Motion Pictures or visit the Destin History and Fishing Museum, Emerald Coast Science Center Museum or the Air Force Armament Museum. So, whether you want to just relax at the beach or get out and explore, you can see there is plenty to do for everyone! Enjoy!
