It was everything we wanted and more!

This was our 3rd trip to Destin and the Miramar Beach area. Our trip was an early anniversary gift to each other. Our goals were simple - relax, go the to the beach everyday and make it a true vacation experience. The beach was amazing, we had plenty of space to enjoy the water, the sand and the shoreline views of the Destiny by the Sea. We went out for dinner every night, it was super pleasurable! The house was fantastic too! The 3rd floor suite was awesome! Alex and the Coastal Retreat Team were great, they made anything so easy! Our vacation was everything we wanted and more! Thank you!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We had a wonderful stay at this house! Plenty of room for everyone! Having the golf cart was amazing and the close beach access was wonderful! No parking for the golf cart at the private beach access was a bit sad as well as not being able to use our own umbrellas, but having the public beach access next door worked out fine!
