I have stayed at several beach houses with my dance team and this is by far the best experience we have had! Gorgeous house and perfect location! It was close enough to the beach that we could walk but my girls loved having the bikes and the adults loved the golf cart 😂 It’s in such a great area that we felt comfortable letting the girls ride the bikes even to get ice cream. The inside was decorated beautifully and the outside area was fabulous! Thomas was so nice and was in communication with us making sure we had everything we needed. We definitely hope to be back next year with our team but hopefully sooner with my own family! ##### Kelly N. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joanne R. Jul 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Destin Family Reunion 2024 This property is amazing! The pictures do not do it justice. It was comfortable, family friendly, and enough room for all 22 of us. The rooms were all very spacious and the beds and pillows extremely comfortable. Too many positives to mention!!! The host tried really hard to get us in early, but because of damages from the previous people, it was impossible. Not only that, the owner called me that first day to let me know the handy man would be by to fix things broken. He was a joy to talk to for sure!! The communication was easy and quick. The golf cart was a huge win. I was worried being not right on the beach, but we rented two extra golf carts (so we had three for all of us), and it was perfect. The pool and the spa made it fine being away from the beach. The beach wasn't even far away. It was an easy walk, bike ride, or golf cart trip. The bikes were another win!! We ABSOLUTELY loved this property. They have everything you might need. The only issue was the fridge. It took a while to catch up with all the food that we put in it that first night. To the owner, I might recommend a rug by the back door for when people come in from the pool to the restroom to avoid slipping. We just used one of our beach towels. Because of this place, I won't hesitate not being right on the beach again. This was the best of everything!!!! Highly recommend this property! ##### Joanne R.

We were 19 people (4 families) staying for 4 nights, and The Retreat was a perfect fit. The location is excellent, just a 7-minute walk to the beach, or 2–3 minutes if you use the provided bikes or golf cart. The layout of the house is great, with plenty of space for everyone, and the outdoor area is well set up, especially the grill area where we spent a lot of time.The owner was super responsive and helped us with anything we needed throughout the stay.Only small downside was the hot tub jets—they weren’t very strong. But honestly, that didn’t take away from the experience.We’ll definitely be coming back. ##### zohar L. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mike&Stephanie B.

Apr 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The perfect getaway stay We booked this as a last minute trip for our family of 5. Thomas was the perfect host. Extremely responsive, full of information for us first visitors to Crystal Beach(Destin) and flexible on our late arrival time and late check out. We basically picked the place for the heated pool and golf cart that were included in the price, which were the family favorites by far, but were blown away with the house itself when we got there. It is new, clean, extremely spacious. Every room is a big great size with a full bathroom, tvs, etc. There was a perfect amount of blankets for night movie watching, towels for the beach and pool, chairs and toys for the beach/pool to keep everyone entertained for the week. It is beautifully decorated in a classy coastal decor that makes you feel relaxed as you head to your own paradise in the back yard oasis with plenty of seating with umbrellas for sun or shade, the large pool with spillover hot tub perfectly heated and clean, beautiful landscape and lighting, also on a timer so you can see it’s beauty. Having the golf cart in the driveway ready to go was such a highlight of the trip. It was an easy quick access to the beach with golf cart parking lot, drive to restaurants, shops, to take pictures at the beach. We will definitely be back with more people to fill the rooms next time. ##### Angie K. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Piper M.

It had all the accommodations and was very clean. The house was even bigger than anticipated which was awesome. The beds and sheets were beyond comfortable. The bikes and golf cart were so fun to have, but we were so close to everything we could easily walk too. This is a perfect space for any group, young or old and look forward to coming back with my kids so they can enjoy the pool as much as we did! You will not regret tending this beautiful home. ##### Allison Z. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Samantha H.

This home is GORGEOUS, so well thought out, so spacious...the pictures do not do it justice. Communication with owner was prompt and thorough. Location doesn't get any better. Super clean home, super comfortable beds, and an oasis for a backyard. Palm trees lining the driveway and backyard 😍. This house has all the "extra" you've been looking for. We will definitely be back! Thanks to the Wests for hosting us! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! ❤️ ##### Samantha H. Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kiersten W.

The house was brand new, very spacious, clean, fully stocked in terms of bath supply, towels, bed & linen, Kitchen utensils and Dishes, even including board games. Bicycles and the Golf cart helped us get around to shops or beach which were really not that far. The host very flexible and responsive. We spent a lot of time at the Swimming pool and the backyard and they helped us to create great memories with our friends and family. ##### Prabhu P.

My group enjoyed our stay at this property. The property manager was quick to respond to any problem that might have occurred and was always willing to help. The photos honestly do not do this property justice. The space felt even bigger than it looked in the photos. Having the large furniture inside and out was wonderful and allowed our entire group to sit together during meals and down time. The beds were extremely comfy. The location is perfect! Short golf cart ride to the beach or the Publix grocery store. You can’t go wrong with this house! ##### Christi B. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Latavia G.

Our family has 18 members who could attended one Destin this year. We had an absolute awesome stay at this property. The pool was perfectly sized for a large group with plenty of room. The house layout was ideal and everyone had room to spread out. It was everything promised. Communication with our host was timely and responsive. Thank you just a great time had by all. ##### Mel C.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the retreat! Close to Destin Commons, with a very short walk to the beach. This house was fully equipped with everything needed for our large party. ##### Cathy S.

Jun 16, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful memories The resort was an amazing house. It was beautifully decorated, clean, spacious, and everything we could wish for. The pool and jacuzzi was loved and enjoyed by all in our party, toddlers to senior citizens alike. Everything was within walking distance…grocery, fast food, beach access 5 minutes away, but we enjoyed the six bikes all the same. I could only wish I had more time to enjoy evening bike rides around the neighborhood. The host was courteous, helpful, and prompt to reply to messages. We would definitely stay here again if we get another chance to visit Destin. ##### Anh N. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Savannah O.

Every room (besides the bunk room) had a king bed + attached bathroom and was so modern and new! Pool + hot tub was well loved and we were just so impressed we would definitely come back! Thomas was so incredibly helpful and answered every call + text! A+ Host + House! Only recommendation we had for the house was black out curtains for the rooms - other than that one detail - PERFECTION! ##### Savannah O.
