Detailed Reviews
As the designer of this unit, I will be pleased to share that the owner wanted only the best! If you visit her VRBO #, you will attest to the fact that it is a luxury unit. It is a ground floor unit with a large patio viewing the Gulf and you are only steps to the boardwalk.
AS an owner, herself, of her beloved King Charles Cavalier pets, she knows how important one's "Best Friends" can be. It is difficult to find a rental of this quality, that welcomes guests to bring their pets.
And, as always Destin , with it's sugar white, s[parkley sand is one of the most beautiful beaches you will ever visit.

Home away from home is what condo 409 represents. Tastefully decorated in coastal décor that puts a smile on your face as soon as you open the door. Newly renovated with beautiful new alliances and furniture. Anything and everything you could possibly want or need is supplied. Comfort in every room. Bedrooms have been decorated so cute you are not in a hurry to leave. Mattresses are so comfortable, my husband and I purchased one as soon as we got home. To have a Bedroom with a view of the ocean is priceless. Access to the balcony from the bedroom or the family room is wonderful. Very roomy balcony with furniture that is perfect to enjoy after a beautiful day at the beach. The open concept kitchen/family room is perfect for entertaining any size group. Washer and Dryer are new and easy to operate.
We have stayed in Destin before but not in this condo. The owners Beverly and Elmer are wonderful to deal with and you enjoy having conversations with them. They are always available to answer any questions and to help with making your stay very enjoyable. Love knowing the owners and have happily booked another stay in their condo. Couldn't imagine staying anywhere else. Best home away from home we could ever dream of!

Beach Retreat #409 was like walking into a page from Architectural Digest! So warm and beautifully decorated. Very clean and felt like "HOME". The views were outstanding. It was wonderful watching the dolphins swimming and playing in the water from the 4th floor. A great way to enjoy morning coffee!! Many restaurants and activities within walking distance. The beach was magnificent and the pool was never crowded. If you are staying in Destin/Miramar I would highly recommend Beach Retreat #409.

The beach was beautiful, and the condo was clean. Our first red flag was when I opened the dishwasher and pulled it completely out of the counter. It was not mounted. After two days, the fridge was lukewarm. We called twice and left messages reporting both the dishwasher and fridge, no one ever contacted us. The timer on the dryer was broken, I woke up to it still running after 4 hours during the night, burning hot. We moved all our food (that we didn’t lose) over to freezer, but our popsicles, ice and meat melted. Sad thing is that property mgr was aware and never warned us (we received an Amazon pkg with refrigerator parts before we left—no one to install, mind you). She (Renee) later stated that they thought a manual defrost had been sufficient. Although a heads up would have been nice so we wouldn’t have filled the fridge second day. They refunded our grocery money, but it sucks to pay $1800 for a unit that you cannot use a fridge or dishwasher. Total state of disrepair, would not recommend. Also, the elevator permits had expired in August. Poorly managed.

Although these condos are oceanfront and have a fabulous view, our vacation was ruined by the relentless helicopters flying overhead. They are tour helicopters and operate 7 days/week from 9am-8pm. We could not sit outside because of the noise. Just terrible and such a shame that the local government officials allow this to happen.

(We checked out today, July 13, 2013.)This was our first time to stay at Beach Retreat and we very much enjoyed the condo and the proximity to everything, and the owners of the condo were great to deal with as well. After a week of relaxing and unwinding, we packed up our 3 weeks'-worth of luggage, coolers, food, beach paraphernalia, teenager's (mucho) stuff, 2 dogs and all their stuff, and miscellaneous extras we purchased along the way, (which was A LOT) and got it ready for the 9 AM check out time (way earlier than any other place we have ever stayed). At the stroke of 9, a lady with housekeeping stuck her head in the door while I was gathering the last of everything and my husband was downstairs loading our Yukon (we were on the 4th floor) and my granddaughter was back and forth as well, because there were no luggage carts available to load and make fewer trips, so everything had to be carried a few at a time. I asked for just a few more minutes, and in 2 minutes ANOTHER woman stuck her head in the door and VERY RUDELY said, 'You need to hurry up and get out of here so she can clean this place!'---I was stunned at her tone and attitude and told her I was almost done, but she proceeded to come on in with the other woman and LOUDLY criticize everything. We had spent the morning and the evening before sweeping and cleaning and washing linens and rugs, (which I always do wherever we stay), and although it wasn't perfect because I hadn't finished emptying the trash, and I had some things on the counter for my husband to carry to the car, it was certainly not dirty by ANY means. I proceeded to check the rooms for left items and went into a bedroom with an adjoining bathroom, and the bathroom door was locked from the hallway. Before I could get my hand on the knob to unlock it, this woman BARKED at me, 'Unlock this door so I can get in there!'. Then she proceeded to order me to 'empty that trash', (which I had gone to do) and that I 'better check the other bathroom, too!'---I am not exaggerating. I am almost 60 years old and I have NEVER encountered behavior like this toward me in this sort of circumstance. I could hear her talking with the other woman (her underling, I am certain) and berating her for this and that, all the while LOUDLY making snide remarks about missing things in the kitchen, insinuating that WE had taken measuring cups, (or something). In fact, I had such a huge load of things I brought from home, I had MY OWN!) This went on for quite some time as I was dragging everything from the hall onto the walkway outside the door, so my husband could pick it up and carry it downstairs to the car. This woman was complaining to me about the sand on the floor (we are NOT pigs---we had JUST swept with the broom provided, and washed and wiped everything in the bathrooms), telling me to get my stuff out of the chair in the bedroom (my purse), generally treating me like I was her wayward child and she had to reprimand me. To say the least, I was LIVID. I do not curse, but it took all my self-control to keep my mouth shut, which I probably WOULD NOT have been able to do had I known that she had already been chewing out my 17-year-old granddaughter out of my earshot! I have never been so angry at a complete stranger in my life. I realize that more guests were coming to stay after us and that there was a time they needed the room by, I GET IT---BUT, we were UNABLE TO GET A CART for carrying everything down, so what would have been 3-4 trips down to the car was more like 15-20 trips, and it made us late getting out,(otherwise, we would have been out by 9:00) You would think by the way we were treated we were an hour or 2 behind, but no---we were completely out of the room BEFORE 9:30. I think under the circumstances, that was not unreasonable. I would not stay here again if that woman was still in charge of housekeeping. I feel very sorry for the people who work under her---how miserable.

We have rented at these condos for years and cannot say how disappointed we were and how negatively this impacted our vacation. We did not feel comfortable in our room. We rented thru beachcondosindestin. Let me
start with how filthy this place is.
Dog hair underneath furniture. Cushions on couch and under cushions not vacuumed. Base boards filthy and panted over dirt and paint drips. Dusty. Doors had dirt on them and needed to be wiped down. Mold all over tile in guest bath. Master bath toilet not bolted down and would turn toward tub. Grunge embedded in toilet seat hinge. Water valve behind toilet covered in mold. Masterbedroom mattress collapsed and envelopes you. Hole in wall in bunk room. Stove burners slope. Laundry area dirty. Kitchen faucet leaks, not all drawers and electrical outlets work, cobwebs on furniture in balcony key missing. Maids do not come during stay but woke us up very early day before we left to see if we were leaving early no apologies. touch panel on microwave coming Off. This units needs better cleaning and rennovation very scournful and uncomfortable staying here will not stay here again.

We rented this condo from Jan 31, 2015 to Feb 21, 2015. The condo was very clean when we arrived and the pictures of the condo were exactly as posted on the web site. The dishes, silverware and cooking supplies were all top quality. The starter supplies in the condo will give you plenty of time to go to the grocery store and begin your adventure at Beach Retreat. The grounds of this condo were exceptionally maintained throughout our entire stay. The beach is directly accross from the condo and is nothing short of amazing. The unobstucted view is incredible. We rented this condo through Renee Clayton, beachcondosindestin.com, and were very pleased with the whole process from our first inquiry to check out. Renee sent our contract immediately with all the information needed to enjoy our stay including what would be included in the condo upon arrival and what was expected of us as the tenants.

We stayed in Beach Retreat unit 207 for our kids fall break this year, The condo is gorgeous. Granite, marble, stainless, smart tvs, just gorgeous. I am not sure how to describe the decor except to say I felt like I was staying in a southern living house. I also went and looked at the owners other units and I am very very impressed. This lady knows how to make folks feel special. Anyways, the room was fabulous and so was the weather. Mid Oct was better than we expected and the beach was quiet.
There is a street in front of the condo, but traffic was really a non issue. I was comfortable enough to let the boys (10 and 8) cross by themselves. They loved the pool and riding bikes along the boardwalk in front of the condo. I think their favorite thing was each having their own tv in the foot of the bunk beds they stayed in!
Honestly we did not know what to expect since this was our first time renting pet friendly in destin. But it was great and actually nicer than most not pet friendly places we have stayed.
I think that depends on the individual. Renee the owner and her daughter beach condos in destin is their company name do a great job of taking care of the details and making everything as easy as possible.
My Husband and I really enjoyed laying on the sectional on the balcony reading. Wish I was there now!

We reserved over the internet thru Crystal Waters Realty. Never have we been treated so rudely. Contact person yelled our name in parking lot (no greeting) & unlocked the door. He continued his rude & abrasive behavior during the 5 minutes he spent with us. The condo was not thoroughly cleaned, cobwebs, dust balls behind bedroom furnitire The walls needed painting. The sliding glass door had no lock, metely a stick in the track. The dishwasher was disruptively loud & did not clean dishes; therefore we hand-washed dishes. Clothes dryer was also extremely noisy. The furniture throughout was older and scratched. We did like the flat screened tvs amd loved the view! Many Beach Retreat condos had been updated, unfortunately not 104!!!
