The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was stated to be 5 bedroom and 5 bathroom., which was not accurate. The house has 4 baths and a 1/2 bath for the 5th. House sleeps 18 when you count 8 people being in one bedroom. Tall ceilings in the main room that cause the sounds to echo throughout so not good for our group of 15. Previous houses rented had lots of beach toys for kids (buckets, shovels, etc). This house had none. The one plus for the house was the freight elevator for luggage and supplies. Outside furniture was comfortable. ##### A guest from Jefferson, TX This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela M. Aug 3, 2023 #### Beautiful Beach house Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We go to the beach every year, sometimes twice a year for family vacation. Kathleen’s Retreat was the most accommodating for my family so far. It is spacious, beautifully decorated and the beach access is only yards away. I would definitely request this property again. ##### Marilyn G. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Silver Reef Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Silver-Reef-Casino-Resort.h16231932.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn Vernon](https://www.expedia.ca/Childress-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Vernon.h4525899.Hotel-Information) > > [Canad Inns Destination Center Grand Forks](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Canad-Inns-Destination-Center-Grand-Forks.h1713856.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Lake Resort, Lake Conroe/Houston](https://www.expedia.ca/Conroe-Hotels-Margaritaville-Lake-Resort.h28407.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Hilton-Waikoloa-Village.h19640.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > > [Horseshoe Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Marble-Falls-Hotels-Horseshoe-Bay-Resort.h1094405.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn Victoria](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Victoria.h1184075.Hotel-Information) > > [Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Bavarian-Inn-Of-Frankenmuth.h9809515.Hotel-Information) > > [Morning Star Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Anson-Hotels-Morning-Star-Inn.h12988751.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [C'mon Inn Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Cmon-Inn-Hotel-Suites.h1510580.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield Inn & Suites Victoria](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-Suites-Victoria.h28368.Hotel-Information) > > [Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Angel-Of-The-Winds-Casino-Resort.h9689970.Hotel-Information) > > [Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort and Players Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hogansburg-Hotels-Akwesasne-Mohawk-Casino-Resort.h6009138.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brook at Turning Stone Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Turning-Stone-Resort-And-Casino.h1684407.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Victoria](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Victoria.h8206987.Hotel-Information) > > [Come Friday Cottages on the Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Galveston-Hotels-Come-Friday-Cottages-On-The-Bay.h23207328.Hotel-Information) > > [Darien Lake Lodge on the Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Corfu-Hotels-Darien-Lake-Lodge-On-The-Lake.h13279584.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Shadow Ridge I-The Villages](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Shadow-Ridge.h853695.Hotel-Information) > > [Shooting Star Casino & Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Thief-River-Falls-Hotels-Shooting-Star-Casino-Hotel.h28874246.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Beach Resort South Padre Island](https://www.expedia.ca/South-Padre-Island-Hotels-Pearl-South-Padre.h21996.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Six-Flags-Lodge-Indoor-Waterpark.h1385446.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Midland Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Midland-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Midland-Suites.h5388884.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Midland](https://www.expedia.ca/Midland-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Midland.h6036563.Hotel-Information)
