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.
