It was so nice to wake up in the morning and watch the dolphins swim back and forth in the gulf. The accessibility to the beach is fabulous. There are plenty of places to eat and get coffee within walking distance.

Beautiful Condo - perfect location

We had a great time in Miramar beach! I bring my family to Destin every year for the past 10 years and this was one of the best Units we have stayed in. Even the room with the bunk beds was spacious. The view of the Gulf was magnificent! Would definitely chose this Condo again for future stays.

My husband, myself and our little goldendoodle stayed at this beautiful property. It has been completely redone and is quite lovely. Everything was so organized , clean and the beds were very comfortable. Being on the top floor is wonderful because you have the view of the beach and the ocean. I will definitely stay here again!

Great view!

Upon arrival, we were happy to see gated access for both vehicle and foot traffic. We rode the elevator to the 4th floor unit (top) and were immediately impressed with the cleanliness, quality of furnishings and unobstructed view of the beach and ocean. The location was great; easy access to the beach and restaurants. We recommend this location.

Another fantastic stay

This is our third time staying at Beach Retreat, and it will not be our last. This condo like the others we have stayed in there was excellent. Clean, well-stocked, quiet, and that beautiful view. The property manager and owners are extremely helpful and compassionate as we had a situation come up, which delayed our arrival. The beach set up crew also extremely helpful and diligent in their job. We could not be more pleased with our stay!

Fantastic!

This is an exceptionally clean and well appointed condo! The location is super convenient to the beach and great restaurant's are within walking distance. The setups were great and the beach is very family friendly. We had a minor plumbing issue and the manager had it fixed the same day! The street traffic was noticeable but not a big deal. We would certainly stay again!

The decor was really pretty and the location was great, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, cleanliness was an issue during our stay. There was dog hair throughout the unit on the bed sheets, in the freezer and cabinets, on the couch, balcony, and more. We ended up sweeping every day and still couldn’t get rid of it. There was also a noticeable dog odor. The unit felt dirty. The vacuum provided didn’t work well and was quite dirty, which made it harder to manage. A deeper clean overall, along with some repainting and a few fixture updates, would really improve the space.We’ve stayed in other units at Beach Retreat before and had much better experiences. This was actually the most we’ve paid, so it was disappointing that it didn’t meet the same standard.
