We love staying at Island Retreat and at this unit in particular. It is clean, quiet, and so conveniently located. The recent renovations to the unit, particularly the kitchen are very nice. Island Retreat is a gem! It is very well maintained and has everything we need - pool, tennis/pickle ball courts, picnic area with BBQ grills, and laundry facilities. The beach is always stunning and is right over the sand dunes. We love sitting on the porch and listening to the waves. We are already planning our next trip!

Very happy with the property, everything was clean and tidy. Loved the boardwalk to the beach right behind our place, though it was weird hearing people walk by at night. Happy that they’re so tight on security—honestly left our yeti in our truck bed one night and was relieved it was there in the morning. Would stay here again!

Boardwalk to the beach with lighted pathway and outdoor shower area to wash off Sandy feet after a walk on the beach. Close to town and well maintained property.
5 / 10·Oct 2020
The property is clean, comfy beds, has WiFi, and very close to the boardwalk to get to the beach (5-ish min walk apt to beach). The only downside is that are monster mosquitoes because of the dune, so bring the bug spray.
