About this property
Near Seaside! Super Clean Totally Updated Petite Retreat! Easy Beach Access!
Come stay at Petite Retreat! Our contemporary-style one-bedroom condo on the north side of county road 30-A is only 250 yards from a beach access and 1.2 miles from world-famous Seaside.
And our Beachwood Villas community is getting a facelift this year! All of our three-story buildings are getting new exteriors and windows now, and that part of the project should be finished by late April. Work will then pause until the fall, when the two-story buildings, including ours, will be done.
The three-story buildings are several hundred feet from our unit. If you stay at Petite Retreat during March and April, we don't think construction noise will detract from your experience. The two-story phase is tentatively scheduled to begin in mid-September. Petite Retreat will be unavailable for bookings for several weeks during the fall.
One last thing about this major project: the homeowner's association is requiring owners, and all renters, to sign waivers of liability if they are on property during either construction phase. This does not apply when construction is paused. Our property manager, Benchmark Management, will include the waiver form with your rental agreement as necessary.
We hope you'll still choose Petite Retreat for your beach vacation. It's painted a soothing light blue, to put you in that beach mood as soon as you walk in the door. The completely remodeled, fully equipped kitchen invites you to prepare a feast if you don't feel like going out.
The updated bedroom has a contemporary look with a cozy feel. We've added a 32-inch widescreen smart TV so you can stream your favorite shows and videos.
We offer a 5% discount off daily/weekly rental rates for returning guests, and a discount for all rentals of a week or more. Sorry, no monthly or other long-term rentals.
Several restaurants, including the highly-rated Café 30A, are within easy walking distance, as are bike and beach rental shops.
Our unit is professionally cleaned by one of the largest property management firms in the area. Benchmark says it has instituted enhanced cleaning procedures, including disinfecting all high-touch areas. We urge guests to bring hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes to use during their stay.
Condo features queen bed, queen sleeper sofa, 50-inch Samsung Smart HDTV and free, fast Wi-Fi up to 2GB. There's also a Samsung Blu-ray player.
This second-floor unit has a spacious balcony with a table with four chairs.
Three-night minimum rentals preferred; a limited number of two-night rentals accepted, depending on availability. Minimum age to rent is 25.
We've relaxed our cancellation policy. You get a full refund if you cancel at least 30 days before arrival, and a 50% refund if you cancel 14 to 30 days before arrival. There's a $150 service fee for cancellations less than 30 days before arrival. No refunds for cancellations less than 14 days before arrival.

Great stay for the money. Cute and clean condo. Steps to beach. 2 minute drive into Seaside and 30 minute walk. Full kitchen was great and equipped for cooking. Parking was easy onsite.

So glad you enjoyed Petite Retreat! Please keep us in mind for a future beach stay.
This rental was a great value. We were so close to the beach - felt like mere steps away. The outdoor balcony was scenic and breezy, a fun place to sit and talk. The bedroom had a comfy bed. It was right in the middle of the action. Highly recommend!
My wife and I stayed here as an extended 4th of July weekend, and it could not have been better. From checking-in to checking-out, and everything in between, our stay was easy and enjoyable. I would highly recommend, and we plan to stay again!
Great quick getaway with hubby! Even booked an offshore charter and caught a black fin tuna. Condo was in perfect location and was able to get in a beautiful trail run before we left. We will definitely return but I will bring a blanket for watching tv.
Communication with the owners was great! We loooved this location as it wa super close to the beach and restaurants. We loved the neighborhood and the pool. All the locals were kind.
Perfectly fine apartment within 5 minutes walk of the beach. Located in the 2 floor of a multi unit complex, the apartment was very well equipped, especially the kitchen, for those who would eat at home. Nice balcony, overlooking a peaceful green area, - perfect for your morning coffee. Overall, extremely good value for money!
No issues. Great place for 3 ppl. Clean and great location. We had 0 issues with finding a spot a very short distance from the access stairs and during a very busy time.
This is the second time we’ve stayed in this unit and will probably book again for next years spring break. Very nice quiet location two minutes from the beach.
My sister and I stayed here for a little sister trip for 5 days/4 nights. It was great! Super clean and a straight shot to the nearest beach access. There is indeed only one roll of toilet paper so be sure to bring extra, and the toaster does not do well with bagels. Other than that, it was perfect! We’ll definitely recommend this place to our friends.

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay! The toaster has a bagel setting so we'll definitely make sure that's working on our next visit. Thanks again for choosing Petite Retreat!
Very clean and loaded with everything we needed. Close to the beach and property management was easy to work with and quick to respond to any questions.
