Beach Retreat 209 Destin Miramar Beach

We had an amazing stay at Beach Retreat 209! The condo is beautiful with breathtaking views, and the oversized deck was perfect for enjoying coffee while watching the sunrise from the master bedroom. Beach access is super easy, and we loved the clean, quiet environment—our pup enjoyed the soothing sounds of the waves too. We can't wait to return for another fantastic getaway! Highly recommend this lovely condo!

Beach retreat 209

The condo is in a great location with good amenities (pool, private beach access with chairs, walking distance to restaurants). However it was not cleaned prior to our arrival: sheets not changed, toilet had feces in it, food on floor, rugs were covered in debris and dirt, laundry left in the dryer. It was very disappointing. The owner did bring us clean sheets in the evening of check in so I was grateful for that. My husband and I were able to get the washer free of mold so that it was usable but the place needs a thorough cleaning.

Phenomenal.

Senior-year spring break vacation. All four families stayed at Beach Retreat in four separate units and we were all very pleased. Our unit was even better in real life than than the pictures. Very comfortable and accommodating in every way. All amenities were top notch but the star of the show was beautiful Miramar Beach. The beach is spectacularly clean - sugar sand white beach and emerald green tropical water. Lots of great restaurants, shopping and Golf close. We will be back!! My

Beachfront perfection

Property was fantastic. Property Management company was very responsive. Apartment was above expectations, right on the beach, beautifully decorated, well stocked. Best part of Miramar Beach. Had an awesome week. The only think that could add to the experience would be to supply beach towels for use with the complimentary chairs and umbrella service which is a very nice touch. Thank you for a memorable vacation.

Love the actual beach

Love the beach, the road traffic, not so much. Close enough to a lot of things, but the trade off is noise. Condo was very nice inside but furniture is oversized and not what is in some of the pictures. The beach is awesome.
