A well maintained and beautiful condo with perfect views, right on a paradise beach, a stones throw from fine dining/
Pros:

This was a fantastic getaway. The title of this site is perfect…a true Beachfront Retreat and Getaway!
Nice views of the Gulf, amazing private beach, the Best tiki bar staff! With Whitney as your personal beachfront waitress! The condo is conveniently located next to the parking garage elevator, not far from anything. Perfectly located down the street from the Harbor Walk, Fudpuckers, and the waterpark,(which is literally across the street from)! We loved our stay and will do it again in a heartbeat!

Cons:

The front desk staff seemed a slight bit irritated. But, rest assured all the other staff was very nice and helpful

Pros:

The room

Cons:

BEACH ACCESS: The security on the beach and not being able to carry our own chairs out. And IF we had purchased chairs, it would have been easy too crowded.

Post Card Vacation breathtaking beach views amenities galore dining options family and couple entert
Pros:

The entire condo/vacation experience exceeded our expectations! Everything from arrival to checkout was well thought out and Super easy! The staff was exceptionally nice helpful ready and eager to address any concern. We had so much fun we totally forgot about the wonderful breakfast so many patrons brag about, will make sure we attend next time. We'll book another stay soon. Thank You for truly making Our stay at The Retrrat a post card vacation!

Cons:

We honestly have nothing to complain about. We even had a parking space day and night so no complaints there. There was always someone cleaning and available to offer suggestions that were consistent throughout the staff, so no complaints there. Also the property is in the middle of everything you could eat and entertainment. Evern Wal-Mart is 1 mile away with a wonderful wine and spirits outside retail store.

I'd recommend the 'Beach Getaway' to anyone that asks!
Pros:

LOCATION was perfect - direct access to the beach was ideal. If you chose to go to any surrounding activities resort was in the heart of the city and everything was within 5-10 mins driving ( food/shopping/etc). Our host (Daryl) was very flexible & his care made our experience so much better - thank you!

Cons:

The resort grounds had some construction repairs in the front so had to be aware/ elevators were slow/ security on the beach were at times too serious but the overall experience was still good.
