Wonderful Beach home nestled in a quiet cove just across the street from ocean. Plenty of space for our 2 family vacation with a separate room for the kids. Cove is well maintained with landscaping and brick roads to give that luxury-feel.
Our stay was wonderful! Getting into the property and cottage was easy. The beach is just a short walk. There is a Dollar General and several restaurants within minutes. We would definitely stay here again.
Great property and in the middle of all the action on the beach at Destin. We look forward to coming back to this property again. Comfortable beds, lots of space an quick access to the beach we’re the quotes from family members
We all absolutely loved our stay here! The location is perfect. Quick walk to the beach, close to restaurants and shops, cute quaint neighborhood, it’s perfect. We loved having a house to ourselves. The kids loved the pool and hot tub. Would definitely stay here again!
We had the best time at this property. The kitchen was by far the best stocked with everything you need to make a meal. Everyone had their own space and each bedroom had a bathroom. We will be back!
Wonderful house located in a gated community and just a short walk to the beach. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. The house was clean, kitchen had all the necessary utensils and we had lots of room to relax. The community pool was nice and just a short walk, too. Would highly recommend this home for your next beach trip!
Thank you so much for this past week. Our family had an amazing time and the condo was perfect!!! Quiet atmosphere, clean grounds, family friendly. We felt as if we were staying at our own home. We are already planning another family vacation for next summer and it will be with Kastle Keepers!!! Thank you for everything!!!
Loved this location and rental. This was our 3rd summer in a row traveling to Destin area. This was the best location for our family. Short walk to beach and shorter walk to pool. Loved the quiet street and parking a few feet outside our door. Kids rode bikes and parents rode scooters on the private cul-de-sac. Will be staying again next summer.

Great Girls Getaway
This place is very clean, comfortable, beautiful, spacious, quiet and has everything you could possibly imagine. I have to say I have stayed at numerous Condos and this is way better than any condo. All the girls in my family have started a tradition of having a girls only getaway and this was the second year to stay at the Beach Retreat Cottages, both stays were GREAT. We will definitely be returning next year.
This house was amazingly perfect for our family of 5! The location to the beach, shops, food and any attractions is all very convenient. The house had everything we needed. The communication with Kathleen was impeccable! We will DEFINITELY be renting here again! 5 out of 5 for sure!!!
The house was nice and spacious. We had 5 adults and 2 children. There was plenty of room. The kitchen had anything you might need. Pool was great. Short walk to the beach. The only thing we found was that the coffee pot did not work. Other than that, everything was great.
