"The condo was spacious for our friends and children. It was nice to be on the ground level. Walking to the beach was a little ways away, but not too bad. The beach was nice and clean. 1"

Lounge in the living room on the overstuffed couches with matching accent armchairs and watch a movie on the wall-mounted flat-screen TV or gaze out at the dunes. The sliding glass doors lead to the patio. The rolling dunes are just across a short yard, and the Gulf is just behind those dunes. You can hear the waves and sea birds and smell the salt breezes.

The location was perfect! Right over the dunes to the beautiful beach. Short drives to any location. Spacious and comfortable living space. A few things need a little love (fan, frying pan, front light) As a whole it was a great place to stay and no crowds at the time of our stay. Very relaxing. Suggestion: leave some brochures of places of interest or a book for guests to write in about what their experiences or favorite places to visit or things to do were.

We stay at Island Retreat every year. This was the first time in this unit. We liked the extra space with the 4th bedroom. It was just a bit dusty in places and the floors were not very clean. May not have been cleaned for a while?? Also the main refrigerator was not working. A smaller refrigerator was there and we filled it up. One dining chair had a broken leg. We reported all this to onsite office- so hopefully all will be fixed before next visitors. We would definitely stay again…assuming a little TLC happens in the interim.
6 / 10Average·Jun 2024
The unit was a great size. I loved that there were four bedrooms and plenty of space. They don’t mention the 4th bedroom, I suspect because it doesn’t have windows. It is just off the living room and has a small Murphy bed. The kitchen was fairly well appointed and had all we needed to cook. We were close to the pool and all of the outdoor amenities. The downside to the unit was the level of cleanliness. The floors were filthy. Your feet would literally be black without shoes. The furniture was dirty and cheap and ready to be replaced. At a minimum needed a good scrub. We washed all the bedding before using, because it looked suspect. Overall, we made due, did some of our own cleaning and had a good time. If management corrected the cleanliness of the unit, this would be an excellent value.
