This bottom floor unit was just what we needed for the week! We brought 4 teenagers with us and everyone had plenty of space. The Island Retreat had 2 large pools (the boys loved the deeper ends), tennis, pickel & basketball courts to enjoy as well as sand volleyball. The walkway to the beach that was closest to us was underwater, but the one on the other side of the complex was very nice. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, but could use some updated larger pots for cooking for a group our size. We had a great week and would definitely return! ##### Amanda N. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher F. May 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location Traveling w/ 4 teen boys for a tournament. Location was perfect. Rooms and layout worked great. Couches are super comfortable, beds were fine. Kitchen was a nice space but lacking pots and pans to cook for a group of 7. There was only one old 8” pan and 2 small pots. The patio is decent but lacking seating. There was 2 chairs but one was broken. We used our own chairs. The boardwalk to beach is about 100 yards and the pool was just a short walk. The bbq pit area is nice, but you’ll need your own bbq tools. The building is older and a little run down but that didn’t bother us. Ac kept it cold. ##### Christopher F. Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Brenda L., Houston Jun 7, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### IR109 good stay We had a group of 7 ranging from 10-81 years old. The property was good. The boardwalks to the beach were close & a short walk to the beach & we spent many hours on the beach. There are many amenities onsite at Island retreat which we did not have time to utilize but it was nice that all were available. The unit we were in was per advertised. The AC cools primarily in the master, kitchen & living area & less so in the other 2 back bedrooms & bathroom. The toilet in the master does not flush well but all is understandable with an older property. We enjoyed that the living/kitchen/dining area was all open (one room). We would stay here again. ##### Brenda L. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katie M. May 24, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great stay! We enjoyed our stay! It was clean, well stocked and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. It was close to the beach and restaurants/retail. We'd definitely stay here again. ##### Katie M. Stayed 5 nights in May 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Cynthia D. Jun 22, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Summer getaway Overall property was nice and conveniently located. The only issue was the AC. Did not cool well in back bedrooms. We were gone most of the day so didn't have time to address with property. We just dealt with it. ##### Cynthia D. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Julia G. Jun 13, 2021 Liked: Location, listing accuracy #### Nice escape I liked the place and the property. Had a bit of trouble with the guards not wanting to allow any other cars in for the evening when we wanted to have family over, but we worked around it. It should be started on description that no visitors or only 2 passes nothing more. Also room was not ready at 4 as promised it was closer to 4:30. ##### Julia G. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Great Wolf Lodge Grapevine](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Grapevine.h1906487.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in St. Lucia](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-St-Lucia-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d168-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Omni Frisco Hotel at The Star](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Omni-Frisco-Hotel.h18919478.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Downtown St. John's](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-St-Johns-St-Johns-Hotels.0-n6355173-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Dallas - Richardson](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Dallas-Richardson.h18234.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin At The Woodlands](https://www.expedia.ca/Conroe-Hotels-The-Westin-At-The-Woodlands.h13173066.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Dallas Fort Worth Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-The-Westin-Dallas-Fort-Worth-Airport.h1653.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Moncton](https://www.expedia.ca/Moncton-Hotels-Days-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Moncton.h2371.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Halifax](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels.d602873.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Home2 Suites by Hilton Lewisville Dallas](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Home2-Suites-By-Hilton-Lewisville-Dallas.h45970429.Hotel-Information) > > [Houston Airport Marriott at George Bush Intercontinental](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Houston-Airport-Marriott-At-George-Bush-Intercontinental.h22967.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency DFW International Airport - Adjacent to Terminal C](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-DFW.h22022.Hotel-Information) > > [AT&T Hotel & Conference Center at the University of Texas](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-ATT-Hotel-Conference-Center-At-The-University-Of-Texas.h2169414.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunset at the Palms Resort - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Negril-Hotels-Sunset-At-The-Palms-Resort-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h1095763.Hotel-Information) > > [The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel & Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Conroe-Hotels-The-Woodlands-Waterway-Marriott-Hotel-Convention-Center.h907442.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton DFW Lakes Executive Conference Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Hilton-DFW-Lakes-Executive-Conference-Center.h6039.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Antonio-Hotels-JW-Marriott-San-Antonio-Hill-Country-Resort-Spa.h2841775.Hotel-Information) > > [Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Gaylord-Texan-Resort-Convention-Center.h985065.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt DFW - Connected to the airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Grand-Hyatt-DFW.h1209294.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/lhr/montreal-to-london) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Kitchener (YKF)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/ykf/edmonton-to-kitchener) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Istanbul (IST)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ist/toronto-to-istanbul) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Denver](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Denver-Intl.d5129540.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Car rentals in Grande Prairie](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Grande-Prairie.d6139550.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [Dominican Republic](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/50/Dominican-Republic) > > [Punta Cana Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana.d601906.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [all inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations) > > [Cancun](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/179995/Cancun)
