Great house, wonderful amenities (better than most rentals with extra towels, kitchen items, etc)! Very comfortable stay and close to the beach and pool.

Beautiful home, well supplied with beach chairs, towels, umbrella, toys; well supplied kitchen for large group. Easy private beach access, great community pool. Great communications with owner.

We are glad you enjoyed your vacation and our home! Thank you for the positive feedback! We hope to see you again soon!
This was not our first stay at this house. We love the pool and beach access. The hosts are responsive and friendly. We booked a week to go back next year.
We had a fabulous time! The house was fully stocked and met all of our needs. The layout worked great for two sets of grandparents and our family. Loved how close it was to the beach and the included chairs and umbrellas. There are even many beach supplies at the house so we did not have to buy any. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Thank you so much for your review! I shared the part about the cleanliness to our cleaners...they work hard and will love the positive feedback! We are so glad you enjoyed the house and your vacation! We look forward to you booking again with us in the future! Sincerely, The Goricki's
We have stayed in the Beach Retreat community several times over the past 5 years, it really can't be beat! This is our favorite property that we have stayed in in the community. The size of the house and layout is ideal for two families, and proximity to the beach and the pool is perfect!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review and we are so happy you enjoyed our home and had a great vacation! We would love for you to stay again in the future!!!
The home was very clean and close to beach and pool. Lots of room and home was set up very nice with kitchen on first floor. Easy access to pool/hot tub and only a very short walk to beach.
The accommodations were fantastic and provided plenty of room for our large group. We appreciated the extra amenities, such as beach chairs, beach towels, and access to a large closet containing many games and beach toys. The kitchen was well stocked. The main living area had ample seating that was comfortable. The extra large TV was a bonus! The dining table was very large and we were able to seat everyone (kids included) at the same time for meals. The upper living area had lots of seating and plenty of room. We enjoyed the multiple balconies with very nice patio furniture. It was located conveniently to the beach and pool. We highly recommend!

We have stayed at Beach Retreat condos and the cottages several times. This is the best home we have stayed in. Had plenty of room and all the amenities you could need. Very clean and well maintained!
We absolutely loved this house! It was perfect for our family of 10. Everything you need in a kitchen is provided plus all the beach chairs, towels, and boards. It is a quiet community with a very short walk to the beach. We had a little challenge trying to get the 3rd parking pass but the owner quickly responded and took care of it. Can’t say enough good things about this place! We will be coming back!

About the host
Hosted by Thor & Deborah Goricki
Thor and Deborah Goricki are the proud owners of 90 Beach Retreat Place! We searched for two years for the perfect home away from home and finally found it! We currently live in Alpharetta, GA and have two children, Aidan and Anna! We are excited to share our home with you and your family and know that you will make lasting memories as we plan to do as well!
Why they chose this property
We chose Miramar Beach for the beautiful beaches and clear waters. We searched for a home that had an easy walk to the beach and wonderful amenities such as the pool and hot tub. We needed a large house as we have a big extended family! And, we wanted other families to be able to be together and enjoy as well!
What makes this property unique
In addition to enjoying our wonderful beach, there is plenty more to do in Destin. If you wish to explore the local area, you’ll find many choices. Sidewalks line Scenic 98 for walking, running or bike riding. We are a short 2-mile drive to Sliver Sands Mall to the West or luxury shopping at Destin Commons to the East. You will find over 100 stores at Silver Sands Outlet Mall such as Polo, Ralph Lauren, Banana Republic, Tommy Hilfiger, Lenox, Nike and much more. If you want to eat out, you could enjoy delicious food at Kenny D’s, The Crab Trap and Pompano Joe’s all are within walking distance from the Beach Retreat Cottages. Destin is full of exciting night life if you venture into town. In addition, you could rent bikes, go snorkeling, jet skiing, parasailing, rent scooters, miniature golf, enjoy a movie at the Rave Motion Pictures or visit the Destin History and Fishing Museum, Emerald Coast Science Center Museum or the Air Force Armament Museum. So, whether you want to just relax at the beach or get out and explore, you can see there is plenty to do for everyone! Enjoy!
