activities and attractions in Destin Gulf Coast North

Located along one of the most desirable beaches in the nation, Beach Retreat is a family-oriented beach community located on Scenic Gulf Highway and in the heart of beautiful Destin, where the sand is like sugar and Gulf waters are aquarium clear and emerald green. We offer our guests 300 feet of private beach for Beach Retreat owners and their rental guests only, with umbrella and chair rentals available. Facilities for showering off the sand when returning from the beach are conveniently located at the entrances to the community and the swimming pool.

Guests will also enjoy the large swimming pool which includes a hot tub, fountains and lush landscaping. Chaise lounges, tables and chairs are provided for your comfort, and restrooms are located at the pool for use by vacationers and their guests. The picnic and charcoal grill area is located near the pool (with a separate enclosure for the safety of small children) so you have the option to grill your own meals. Our house is only 100 yards from the pool so you can easily carry your food and supplies to and from the pool.

Beach Retreat is centrally located to all of Destin's wonderful restaurants, water sports and activities, including Silver Sands outlet mall, Sandestin and Baytowne Wharf, Destin Commons, Big Kahuna's Waterpark, The Track, upscale shopping, casual and fine dining, movie theaters and beautiful golf courses. Restaurants within walking distance of the cottage include Crab Trap, Pompano Joe's, Whales Tail and Captain Dave's.

We've put a lot of effort into our new home to make it an enjoyable place to stay for our own vacations. We hope you will enjoy it too!

traveler reviews for this destin house rental

Great property . . with a few glitches!

Angie (Pike Road, AL)
Review submitted: January 3, 2012   Date of arrival: December 26, 2011

Beautiful home, well furnished and completely updated! Loved the location and the privacy of the cottages. Awesome pool and clubhouse. Short walk to the beach. Downfalls: Guest parking. It has a parking lot that was half empty at all times and it says it is for guests of Beach Retreat cottages, but any time we had a guest park there, they recieved warning tickets. The water heater was malfunctioning the entire time we were there. The first showers we took were 2 mins long and freezing cold. When I called mgmt, they said we must have been taking too long showers, all at the same time, and running the DW. NOPE! They came and reset it, and we had hot water, but any time we used the shower or washer or DW, the breaker tripped again. Mgmt said to call if it happened again, but we learned how to reset it ourselves during stay so we weren't calling them everytime we turned on the water. In their defense, they did respond promptly and told me how to reset it. Also, I spent one long night with the smoke detector in the master BR chirping all night, until my son (only one tall enough on a stool) was able to reach it and pull out the battery. That is something that should never happen in a vacay rental. IMHO, batteries should be changed every 6 months so a paying guest isn't disturbed with this annoying event. Overall, I would stay here again, as long as I was assured that these issues were repaired.

Owners response: Hi Angela,
I am very happy that you enjoyed your stay at The Flip Flop Inn. I am just sorry for your "glitches" I was not aware that you had more problems with the hot water! I wish you had called us when the hot water problem arose again so that we could have called in a repair man! We had stopped by and spoke with your son. He informed me that the hot water was all taken care of but we asked him at that time to please let us know if it did happen again! When we did not hear from you, I figured all was well!
The batteries in the smoke detectors were changed just last month during the deep clean so I am not sure if we got a defective one or if there was a surge of some sort but again, I am so sorry that this occured during your stay!
The parking issue is another story though. We do make sure that everyone knows that there is only 2 parking spots for each home. The lot that you referred to is for the condos and they will not allow any of the homes to utilize it. The additional parking by the club house is handled by the association. I hope you will come back to try us again!
