Great Vacation Spot!

We have stayed in the Beach Retreat community several times over the past 5 years, it really can't be beat! This is our favorite property that we have stayed in in the community. The size of the house and layout is ideal for two families, and proximity to the beach and the pool is perfect!

We had a fabulous time! The house was fully stocked and met all of our needs. The layout worked great for two sets of grandparents and our family. Loved how close it was to the beach and the included chairs and umbrellas. There are even many beach supplies at the house so we did not have to buy any. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Incredible stay!

We absolutely loved this house! It was perfect for our family of 10. Everything you need in a kitchen is provided plus all the beach chairs, towels, and boards. It is a quiet community with a very short walk to the beach. We had a little challenge trying to get the 3rd parking pass but the owner quickly responded and took care of it.
