Properties
Make beach days easy at Beach Retreat 102. Once Upon a Tide combines beautiful Gulf views with one of the things families and dog owners love most about a beach vacation: ground-floor convenience with no elevators or stairs.
Step from the living room or primary bedroom onto your patio, enjoy the Gulf view, and you're just steps from Beach Retreat's 300 feet of private sugar-white beach across Scenic Gulf Drive.
Inside, this updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath condo sleeps up to 9 and is especially comfortable for families, two couples traveling together, or grandparents joining the trip. Two king bedrooms give the adults comfortable accommodations, while the separate bunk bedroom gives the kids a space of their own.
And during beach season, your chairs are waiting for you: one umbrella and two beach chairs are included March 1 through October 31.
Primary Bedroom
King bed with Gulf view and direct patio access. Private ensuite bathroom with garden tub and separate shower.
Second Bedroom
King bed with access to the second full bathroom.
Bunk Bedroom
Full-size lower bunk with twin upper bunka fun separate bedroom for the kids.
Living Room
Queen sleeper sofa for additional sleeping space.
Maximum occupancy: 9 guests.
One of the best things about 102 is simply how easy everything is.
No waiting for elevators. No carrying groceries, beach bags or tired kids up and down stairs. And if you're traveling with a dog, quick trips outside are much easier from the ground floor.
The living area opens directly onto the patio, giving you an easy indoor/outdoor space for morning coffee, relaxing after the beach or simply enjoying the Gulf view.
Inside you'll find a comfortable coastal living area, an updated and fully equipped kitchen, Smart TVs with cable, high-speed WiFi and a large-capacity washer and dryer.
Beach Retreat offers 300 feet of private sugar-white beach just across Scenic Gulf Drive.
From March 1 through October 31, your stay includes professional beach service with one umbrella and two chairs set up for you each day. Additional setups are available to rent.
Bringing your dog? Beach Retreat is one of the area's sought-after pet-friendly beach communities, and 102's ground-floor location makes traveling with a pet especially convenient.
Well-groomed, well-behaved pets are welcome with prior approval. Pet fees and some restrictions apply, so please include your pet information when booking.
Beach Retreat is a low-density, four-story community with only 44 condos, offering a relaxed alternative to the area's larger high-rise resorts.
Amenities include a 3,000-square-foot seasonally heated pool, hot tub, fitness center, gated parking, grilling areas and 300 feet of private beach.
Scenic Gulf Drive's five-mile walking and biking path runs right by the property, and you'll be close to local favorites including Pompano Joe's, Captain Dave's and Kenny D's.
Destin Commons, Silver Sands Premium Outlets, Grand Boulevard, Baytowne Wharf and Destin Harbor are all just a short drive away.
Summer Stays: Saturday-to-Saturday reservations are required during peak summer and may apply during other high-demand periods.

This condo was excellent. The beach is across the street, so it was easy to come and go. You don't need your vehicle at all. It is very private, quiet, and peaceful. It was the best rental I've ever had.
Laura was so great. Always responsive and always willing to help.
Will be back. - (Aug 2025 - VRBO)

This place was exactly how it looked in the pictures. So clean and beautiful decor. Enough space for 4 adults, 3 kids and a dog. I love that this place was dog friendly! So convenient and the view was amazing. The ground floor was perfect for the kids to be able to go outside and play baseball and for us to enjoy fun in the sun even more. - (May 2025 - VRBO)

Family Vacation
We really enjoyed our time at this property. We received check-in information prior to our trip and everything went smoothly for us. The condo was spacious and clean (beautiful decor) and had everything we needed. We had our morning coffee on the patio everyday and enjoyed the view of the ocean and the calm breezes. We were blessed with a rainbow view one morning :) We will definitely want to visit this property again in the future! - (Sep 2024 - Return)

Perfect for our family.
This was our granddaughters first beach trip (one turned 2 today and 1 turns 2 July 6th) and they had fun! Super close beach access. Nice pool for swimming. Condo was nice, we just had to put the breakables up lol. The only complaint we had is that we had to leave to go back to reality in Arkansas :) - (Jul 2024 - VRBO)

Amazing
Amazing place, best Air Conditioner we have had in Florida. Only minor inconvenience is the water heater isnt big enough to fill the large tub completely and also allow others to shower. - (Jul 2024 - Return)

Great condo- great location.
We stayed here during spring break. Great pool, easy walk to the beach- even for my 80 year old grandparents. Very big balcony and nice outdoor space for the kids to run around a little bit. Condo has everything you would need and is beautiful. One suggestion- the kids top bunk does not have a ledge to keep the kiddos from falling out, therefore we didn't let our kids use it and they had to share a bed. I would put a rail on it for certain. Otherwise great property. - (Apr 2023 - VRBO)

Relaxing and Peaceful
Everything was wonderful. We really enjoyed the condo and the location was central to everything. We stayed for 2 weeks. When I had a concern or question the communication was prompt and helpful. The condo and building were very clean. My only suggestion for the condo would be to have more hangers. My only other complaint would be the air ventilation in the workout room. I was impressed with the equipment but the airflow was hit or miss. More fans or at least have the fan not on a motion sensor so it can run continuously. Would recommend the condo and property to other for sure. - (Jun 2022 - VRBO)

Great View and Wonderful Condo
Morning coffee on the patio was wonderful with family. View was perfect as was the condo. Clean and well supplied with what you need. Slept very well on comfortable bedding. Property was very well manicured and secure. Will be back! - (May 2022 - VRBO)

Great property. Nicely decorated, well stocked kitchen. Comfortable beds and living room furniture. Great balcony furniture and the view was incredible. Kenny D's restaurant right below property was perfect lunch/dinner destination. Easy walk across the road to the beach. Towels provided were not as clean as I would prefer so I washed them upon arrival. I would definitely recommend this unit. - (May 2022 - VRBO)
