Photos and Description of the Beach Retreat Condos vacation condo rental
Condo, 1 Bedroom + Bunk Area, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 4-6)

This pet friendly, non-smoking unit, located in the Beach Retreat Condominium complex, is exceptional. One of the largest one bedroom floor plans in the area, the 945 square feet gulf front unit sleeps six and boasts a spectacular view of the Gulf of Mexico.

The expansive living area overlooks the white sugar sands of Miramar Beach and the sound of the crashing waves on the shore fill the space. The fourth floor balcony offers chaise lounges and a table and chairs for morning coffee or a relaxing afternoon with a good book.

The watercolor inspired décor offers a luxurious master suite for adults while offering a child friendly atmosphere for the easy comfort of vacation living with the kids. The suite also features a private bath and an entertainment center with ample storage housing a 27-inch TV and DVD player. The cozy bunkroom space is perfect for the children -- complete with TV/DVD/VCR combo unit for their own nighttime entertainment. A queen-size sleeper sofa accommodates additional guests.

Destin offers unlimited dining opportunities, but if staying in is your preferred dining experience, the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need for an extended vacation stay. The dining table accommodates six and the bar comfortably seats an additional four.

The unit boasts ten foot ceilings, tile floors in the living, kitchen and hallway areas, central heating and air conditioning, a kitchen pantry, full size washer and dryer, trash chutes and on-site security.

The beautiful Tuscan exterior of this four story, 44-unit complex accentuates the luxurious living accommodations. The Beach Retreat complex features 300 feet of private gulf frontage, a 3,000 square foot heated pool, whirlpool, fitness center, barbecue grills, picnic area and sundeck, all surrounded by the lush tropical Florida landscape.

We would love to have you and appreciate you considering our place! And if others are traveling with you or you'd like a larger space, we also have a 3-bedroom poolside cottage right next door in Maravilla. Email me for cottage rates.

About The Owner

Growing up in Alabama, the Florida Panhandle was always our choice for a beach get-away. When we were younger, Destin was a sleepy little community with the most beautiful white sandy beaches and very little to do. Over the years, we've watched it grow into a beautiful beach resort community with the finest accommodations, dining, shopping and wonderful family acitivites. We've enjoyed a family cottage in Destin for many, many years, and added our ocean view condominium just a few years ago. The sun, the sound of the ocean, the sea breeze and the feel of the smooth white sand beneath your feet just does something to relax the soul and we find that peace everytime we are there.

The Owner purchased this condo in 2003
Why The Owner chose Beach Retreat Condos

Beach Retreat is in the Miramar Beach area in between the city limits of Destin and the SanDestin Beach Resort area. We enjoy the convenience of having great shopping and restaurants just a few miles in either direction and the incredible ocean views without the hustle and bustle of downtown. The low rise, Italian look of the exterior and one of the largest one-bedroom floor plans with high ceilings was also a plus, but the view and the 3000 square foot swimming pool sealed the deal.

What makes this condo unique

We most enjoy the view and sound of the surf from our balcony. Our children most enjoy building sandcastles, searching for sea shells, snorkeling, the volleyball games that pick up along the beach, and boating in the bay. We also enjoy riding our bikes along the bike and walking trail to a park just a few miles away, and often will stop by the sidewalk cafe for a smoothie on the way back. The family concerts at Baytowne are wonderful in the evenings and the movies are close by as well.

We loved the condo and the location. The unit is beautifully decorated and very clean and well maintained. The location was so much fun......you can sit on the balcony and literally watch the world go by......all the joggers,bikers,walkers and dogs parading by on the paved path directly in front of the condo. This building is very pet friendly with a dedicated pet area with clean up station. It was great being able to bring our 2 little dogs with us...they LOVED that balcony!! Even though the unit is pet friendly, you would never know pets had been there.....very clean and no evidence of stains or odors.

We were able to do a lot of walking with our 2 pups, which was great (especially with all the wonderful food we ate while in Destin...lol). The condo is within walking distance to a few restaurants and an easy drive to the rest of the areas of Destin and Sandestin. We recommend spending some time over at Baytowne Wharf. Even though we have been to Destin many times, this was our first visit there and it was really neat.

Michelle was very easy to work with and responsive to any emails and questions I sent. I absolutely would recommend this unit to friends and we will definitely return again.

We loved our stay at the Beach Retreat. The condo was beautifully furnished, the view was spectacular, the swimming pool was wonderful and we have already booked our time next year. the owner was so cooperative and friendly and made us feel that the condo was completely ours during the time of our stay. We love the Destin area with all the good restaurants, golf courses and shopping. All in all it was a wonderful experience.

My husband and our doggie, Bella, a Westie, have stayed in this condo for the same week the last 4 years! There is a reason we keep returning...the condo is always very clean, has everything we need including a great view of the beautiful white sand beach from the balcony and livingroom! Being on the 4th floor is great, much better than staying in one of the tall, crowded condo building. The location is great, restaurants nearby, shopping is very close, and walking is a breeze...right outside, oceanfront is a great place to walk. We would like to thank Michelle and her family for sharing this condo with us each year and hope to be back next year!!

This condo was beautiful decorated and just really, very comfortable. Amazing king bed - had the best sleep of my life. The kitchen had everything I needed to make awesome breakfasts and lunches for us and our friends - plus, plenty of space for everyone to sit down and enjoy.

Loved the throw rugs - made such a different in the way the condo felt. So many personal touches.

I was skeptical, staying at a 1 bedroom this year, but I loved this condo so much more than previous ones! It made me want to STAY and live here - sorry, condo owners. :)

Loved the top floor - loved the patio furniture. Everything was so well-maintained and I could tell that this just wasn't a rental property, but someone's HOME.

Thanks so much for making our stay an even more memorable one! I'd highly recommend this condo!
