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.

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!

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.
