Beach Retreat 202 Condominium Rental

Date of Arrival: May 24 - 31, 2025
Unit 202 was a fantastic spot for our family vacation! The beachfront view was incredible, and we loved being just steps away from the sand. Having beach chairs and an umbrella already set up was a huge perk and made beach days even easier. The check-in process was seamless, with clear instructions and easy access using door codes. The condo itself was clean, beautifully decorated, and well-stocked with all the essentials. The pool area was spacious, with plenty of room and lounge chairs, so we could all enjoy without feeling crowded.

Only one small hiccup—the coffee maker in this unit had a minor leak, but it wasn’t a big deal. Also, while the gated community felt very secure, the gate keypad is on the passenger side, which made things a little tricky when arriving solo.

Overall, we loved our stay and would absolutely return!

Laura was a great host! We had some troubles with our first reservation and she helped us check in late that evening. The condo is in a great location right across from a private beach and had anything you could possibly want in the kitchen. We will definitely stay there again!

We had a wonder stay and can’t wait to re-book.

We have rented from Renee and Laura Clayton every year for almost 20 years and we have never been disappointed. All of the units that we have stayed in have been well decorated and clean. I find them easy to work with and we will continue to book through them for the foreseeable future.

Great location, great stay.
Everything was great. Check in went smoothly. The beach set up is nice. All the other dog owners were very respectful. While inside the condo, you rarely heard anything from the adjacent units. The beds were very comfortable as were the pillows. Check out was very simple. Clean out the refrigerator and start the dishwasher and you’re pretty much done! The only recommendation I would have is that they improve the knives in the kitchen, the only large chef knife could hardly cut an onion. If you plan to cook meals while you are there, you may want to bring your own knives.

There were 5 senior adults and one small dog in our party. The age range was 65 to 78. We were very pleased with our accommodations. It was very clean and very well stocked with everything we needed. TVs had plenty of channels and free movies to watch. There were games and cards for you to play. And there were books for you to read. Beds were comfortable. Shower had great water pressure. A/C was cold. Dog walk was convenient and had poopy bags for you to use. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching the people on the beach as well as the walkers and runners on the sidewalk. Also, the cars and golf carts on the road were interesting to see. We saw dolphins in the water and gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. Highly recommend #202 to everyone! We will be back!

This condo is amazing. It's beautiful, clean and well-equipped. The location and views are excellent. It is tastefully decorated and comfortable. Lots of room to spread out and the pool is very large. The appliances are nice and the kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook at home. Love that we could take a little doggie with us. I have rented from Renee several times. She is very quick to respond and is also a talented artist and evidenced by the art in this condo. Thanks for sharing this jewel with us.

I love staying at Beach Retreat. I’ve stayed here several times. The condo’s I pick have great sectional couches. Everyone likes to sprawl out. ;) comfortable beds and curtains that darken the room to sleep late. This year we were in 202. 3 bedroom, 2 baths. Lovely stay! (VRBO Review)

We loved the condo including the location, the beach access, the view, the umbrella and chairs included, the pool, and if that wasn't enough, being pet friendly so we could include our four legged family member too! We loved it so much we already booked our second visit. (VRBO Review)

We had a very enjoyable two weeks at Beach Retreat 202. Super nice well equipped condo in a fantastic location with easy access to the beach, a balcony with a great view of the ocean, nice walking trail/sidewalk for people and pets, secure parking, several excellent seafood restaurants nearby. Property manager was very friendly and helpful.

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Beach Retreat condo! We had plenty of room for our large family and the beds were extremely comfortable. The layout was wonderful and the gulf front view was stunning and memorable. Amazing!

Beach retreat 202 is such an amazing property! It is located just steps from the beach and has the best view of the Gulf that you can enjoy right from your private balcony. The property is very clean, beautifully decorated, and very spacious. It came equipped with pretty much everything we needed. After staying here, I think we’ve found our favorite place to stay while vacationing in Miramar/Destin area. My family and I had the absolute hands down best time staying here. No complaints whatsoever! The property was perfect!! We didn’t want to leave, but will most definitely be back. You seriously can’t go wrong staying here. Thank you all for providing such a beautiful place for my family and I to rent. :)

Our stay at Beach Retreat was awesome, we all enjoyed our stay. The condo was what we expected, it was clean and large enough for our whole family. Being on the beach was great. Thank you for replacing the washer in such a timely manner. Thank you for such a wonderful week. Linda and family.

This was a pet friendly property that was gated, had a heated pool & hot tub during the winter, and catered to families with pets. The unit was very nicely appointed and had a wonderful view of the beach. Scenic Gulf Drive wasn’t a distraction for us and you couldn’t hear the traffic with the doors closed. The gulf view made up for it!

This unit was a great choice for our first official time in Destin/Miramar Beach. We needed a pet friendly condo to accomodate our two cocker-spaniels and this was perfect. The location was amazing and a closer walk to the beach than staying in a high rise. The unit was very well-stocked - truly with everything you needed and more. The unit was nicely decorated and clean. We loved the pool area and also having the dog walk area on site was so convenient. In fact, CONVENIENT and EASY are the best words to describe our stay. The communications with Renee/Laura were quick and informative. Thank you for a great experience - we will be back to Miramar Beach and stay here again and again!

My adult family of 5 stayed at the property and were satisfied. The unit was clean and spacious. The view of the gulf was great. The location was within walking distance of several great restaurants that we ate at. There was plenty of grass to walk our small dog along the wide sidewalk along the beach street where a lot of people walked, rode bikes, roller boarded, jogged, etc. The street traffic was not that bad. It is 25mph with crosswalks about every 100 yards that also slowed traffic. I only have 1 negative comment regarding the seating comfort. The furniture and decor was beautiful and “beachy”, but was not good for my bad back. However, the master bed was great with the pillow top. The beach service was great! Chairs were out at 7am just after sunrise. The unit also provided additional beach chairs and other items for use. The Kitchen was adequately equipped and refrigerator/freezer and ice maker worked perfectly. I highly recommend this property for anyone looking to get away!

I have stayed at Beach Retreat, Maravilla and Leeward Key several times now and this unit Beach Retreat 202 is hands down my new favorite. I like the left side of beach Retreat so much better, the view is awesome and so easy in and out, plus the condo is so nice inside. Happy Camper

We have booked many times with Renee and Laura and are they are always great to work with. We have stayed as several of their properties and they are all decorated tastefully. Glad someone out there understands the need to travel with our furry family.

202 is by far the best condo we have stayed in! This was the first vacation EVER that I didn’t miss my bed. Beautiful view, beautiful furnishings and perfect location- until next time! I appreciate the attention to cleanliness too.

Wonderful stay!! ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
