I've stayed in numerous units in beach retreat and this one is perfect! Clean, comfy beds, nice bathrooms and of course you can't beat the unobstructed vies of the gulf!
We could not have chosen a better location to stay at on our Destin vacation. Condo was very clean and just like the pictures on the listing. Pool was awesome and beach right across the street. Checking was flawless and communication was effortless through email. Will definitely be staying here again if we come back next year.
Our entire experience from beginning to the end resulted in a most enjoyable week to relax and set aside our normal routine. The accommodations were just what we expected. Thanks so much!

Delightful Beach Getaway
This was a perfect vacation house for our adult kids and grandkids. We have stayed in a lot of beach houses over the years and this house is one of the best equipped houses we have ever stayed in. The location to the beach is just a short walk. The house is lovely and very well taken care of.
I will definitely recommend to anyone coming to Destin. MJ

Thank you so much. Beach Pointe is so well located and convenient.
We had a great week at this condo. It is beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The location is great. Even tho it is technically across the street from the beach, there aren't any buildings in front of this complex, so no obstructed view. It's a nice small complex, never had to wait for the elevator or anything. Super nice walking path in front of the complex for morning walks.

We absolutely loved the property. It was so convenient to the beach. I rented a golf cart but it was not needed. We could walk to the beach any time we wanted. The view from the balcony was beautiful. We will be back.
The condo was wonderful. Great deck with a lovely view of the ocean. Loved the decor, sofa covers were different than picture but still nice. Wished we could have had it for the rest of the month we were here. Only neg. towels could have been bigger and we needed extra blankets. Would rent there again.
Everything about this condo was exactly as advertised and wonderful. The only thing that we did not like was how the beach service sat the chairs up in a "U" shape instead of facing the water. We had an issue with the AC the night that we arrived, and management had it addressed immediately. It worked great the rest of our trip. Would highly recommend this property!

Thank you so much for your 5 star review Ashley. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay. The reason that the beach service does the "U" shape is to give the most people a front row view of the water. We hope that you will be back again soon.
Only complaint was that the west end elevator , nearest to 309, was inoperative Sunday and Monday

Liked: Communication, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in
Sliding door did not work, front door lock did not work properly, water was not hot, TV remote did not function properly. Condo knife & fork drawer filthy, microwave filthy, toaster filthy with crumb pans taped on. Slippery are rug. Most of all the floors were disgusting, hairy, crummy and dirty. DISGUSTING. We had to clean ourselves

We are so sorry that you did not enjoy your stay. Fortunately, we completely changed out the front door lock during your stay and serviced the sliding glass door as well as showing you how to use the TV remote. I was completely surprised by complaints regarding cleanliness when it was not mentioned until over a week after arrival in our daily conversations. We offered to have housekeeping return eventhough it was so long after your arrival. Thankfully, these complaints are not a pattern of guests unhappiness as most of our guests are very pleased with Beach Retreat 309, Beach Peach. We hope that you will return again in the future and find that these items are not problems. We work very hard to provide wonderful beach accommodations with great views.
Beautiful condo at a great resort! Comfortable, clean room with everything we needed for a great week. Very close to the beach, amazing view from the master and living room. Great communication with the host. We had a wonderful time and will be back to this unit.

Thank you so very much for the 5 star review. We look forward to having you as one of our repeat guest. Our housekeepers will be so happy that you complimented their work as well. We always pass along our feedback to our team members. Thank you again
I wish I could leave a 4.5 star review because there are a few things that I experienced that made it less than 5 stars.
First, location is great. Beach is beautiful. Condo is as described.
However, there were a few things that were ....irritating. Wifi doesn't work. My phone showed connected but no internet the entire duration of our stay. Just glad I didn't need to work, because it would have been impossible in the condo. Second, the toilet paper. We had 4 rolls for 6 people for 7 days. Yeah, that didn't last. We had to go buy some mid week. The 2 trash bags to last a week also not enough unless you never eat in the condo. Last, no extra blankets. As someone who is ALWAYS cold this is a deal breaker. We knew coming down and brought some but extras in the condo would have been appreciated.
Overall would recommend and would stay again

Good Morning Reanna:
We are so glad that overall you enjoyed beautiful Beach Retreat 309 and our beautiful beach.
We typically have excellent wifi without problems. On the rare occasion that there is a problem our technical support will solve the problem quickly. Apparently you did not feel the need to reach out to technical support.
In regard to supplies, we supply only starter supplies of paper products and trash bags. This information is included in our check in packet so that our guest can be prepared.
We do hope that you will return soon.

The condo was exactly as shown pin the VRBO listing . Upon arrival the door code did not work , but a call to Renee quickly resolved it . The unit was very clean and well stocked . The view of the beach across the road was great . Very easy beach access . The building is pet friendly and many of the renters had small to medium size dogs . The condo would comfortably sleep 6-8 people . We were only two plus our Yorkie. !
We have been staying at Miramar beach for several years now and this is by far hands down our favorite property yet!! The condo was immaculate, beautifully decorated and the view is stunning!! Renee was easily accessible and so helpful! The kitchen and bathrooms are especially beautiful and we loved the fact the kitchen had not only a standard coffee pot but also a keurig! We will definitely stay here again! Wish we could have stayed longer!!
This rental was great! We brought our dog and she loved all the dogs we met on the walk right along the whole road. Beds were good, and that’s important! Thanks for the coffee pot and Keurig-that is an essential these days! But I would kindly ask that the frying pans be replaced with good ones! Overall it’s a great stay and we’ll be back!
