We loved this condo! It was a great location and the beach was just steps away! We loved the convenience of being on the bottom floor, too. Restaurants were in walking distance. It was nice to sit outside on the patio and enjoy the beautiful view. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the cooking necessities, and the condo was very spacious overall. We all enjoyed our stay here!!

First time to Destin

Last year was our first time to Destin and first with our pet. I just want say this is the best place to stay. The place is just as the pictures. Very clean and spacious. The location is great. Close to restaurants. There is a walking path for walking your dog right out front. We liked it so much we are going back this year.

Comfortable pet friendly condo with beautiful Gulf view

We just returned from a month stay at this lovely Miramar Beach condo. First floor made it really convenient to walk pet. The patio was great to sit and look at the Gulf. The area had lots of friendly pet owners that we met on our walks. Three lovely bedrooms and baths made it great when we had company visit. Disappointed that dogs were not allowed on the beach. Nice heated community pool. Really nice condo and we had a great visit.

Excellent Spring Break Stay

A group of us booked this condo for Spring Break for April. This was an ideal condo for the adults and teens in the group. The beach was just across the street and the pool was just across the parking lot. No stairs to contend with, just walked out the door and across the street to the beach. We could sit on the patio and enjoy sunrise and sunset with a beautiful back drop of the ocean. There were plenty of beds for everyone though we did bring a small twin inflatable that was used occasionally. The kitchen was large and had all the appliances you could ask for when preparing dinner for a large group. Three bathrooms was VERY helpful with such a large group. The condo was beautifully maintained and nicely decorated. There were several restaurants all within easy walking distance of the condo, our favorite being Kenny D's. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back.

Our New Thanksgiving Tradition

With the recent passing of my Dad and my husband, my family needed a much needed break from our normal Thanksgiving. I think we have found or new Thanksgiving traditions. The condo was amazing, just perfect for us. The furnishings were beautiful and the location and view were great. Prior to getting there I did have concerns about it being on the bottom level and so close to the highway - I thought it might be a little noisy, but that was not the case. All beds were comfortable with the exception of the back bedroom (kitchen side of condo). It really needs to be replaced - it saga in the middle. Nice that all bedrooms had their own bathroom. I highly recommend this unit - I will definitely return! Thanks for sharing it with us!!

THE PERFECT BEACH RETREAT

We enjoyed our week so much at the Beach Retreat the week of July 17 - 24, 2010. Renee is always making changes in the decor that we always appreciate. This year was a newly equipped kitchen & beautiful new wall colors that was noticed by all of us. She has such great taste & talent as her paintings are hung in all areas of the condo. The TV & the DVD player in the bunk area was a brainstorm. Our 5 yr. old & 3 yr. old grandsons were so excited because they get to watch DVD's for about 10 - 15 minutes before their nap & bedtime. This made all of the adults happy too. The weather was perfect but unfortunately the seaweed was thick. We were still able to go to the beach every day even though we didn't get in the water very often. We were so happy to be able to go this year since we missed last year & didn't know what was going to happen with the oil spill. We were even happier when Renee said that this condo was available. The location is great & the view of the beach is beautiful. The pool is also beautiful. This is our 3rd year in this condo & it truly is the perfect BEACH RETREAT. Renee Norris New Ibeia, LA
