The access and gate code along with additional restrictions will be sent before arrival. It is very important that we get a good email address from you after booking.

STARTER KIT
⭐ Our property has a "Starter Kit" to get you through your first 24-48 hours. This includes two kitchen trash can liners, two dishwashing packets, mini shampoo, conditioner, lotion, one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, and one roll of paper towels. We supply limited bath towels, washcloths, and hand towels. We do not provide beach towels, laundry detergent, seasonings/spices, zip locks, or liquid dishwashing detergent. You can pick up your favorite items at the nearby Walmart, Target, Publix, or Winn-Dixie.

⭐ Our property provides private Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi info will be found in the property binder on the kitchen counter. We know WI-FI is essential to everyone. However, we cannot guarantee the internet speed or signal strength. Our Wi-Fi signals may not be optimal during peak season due to the number of people visiting our area. We suggest you bring your hotspot device if you need high-speed internet during your stay. **Bring your passwords for streaming services.** Don't forget to log out when you leave.

PARKING
⭐ No street parking is allowed after 1 am. A citation will be issued per HOA rules if a vehicle is parked on the street after this time. If a citation is issued on the same vehicle two nights in a row, then the vehicle will be towed at the guests' expense. You can rent a golf cart, but please note that it must occupy one of your parking spaces and be stored in the garage overnight. There is no overflow parking. The HOA rules also state: No boats, trailers, campers, or motorhomes are allowed.

⭐ Check-in any time after 4 pm CST. Check-out is any time before 10 am CST.

EARLY ARRIVALS
⭐ We would love to accommodate early arrivals. However, it is nearly impossible during the busy season due to increased traffic delays and a limited workforce. Therefore, if you have an early flight, please plan to book an extra day so that you may check in before 4 pm. If that isn't an option, one of our favorite public beaches is Pompano Joe's in Miramar Beach. It offers large bathrooms, plenty of parking, and a beachside restaurant. Our PCB properties have many options for public beach access, but our favorite would be Public Beach Access 54-57, right in front of Pier Park! Since we are always on a tight schedule, we ask that all guests depart promptly at 10 am CST.

KITCHEN
⭐ The kitchen has a Fully equipped refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, cookware, bakeware, glasses, mugs, plates, flatware, cooking utensils, coffee maker, and a fire extinguisher under the sink.

Paradise Found!

This was quite possibly one of The Best Vacations we have had in a long time. Everything was made so easy, which is what a vacation is supposed to be....no stress! Booking, communication, instructions, location, privacy.... and what kept blowing our mind was the cleanliness of everything in this home as well as on the beach and in the shopping areas, it was SO CLEAN! This absolutely breathtaking home and its location helped make this a vacation to remember! The owners and rental staff have outdone theirselves with helping you feel right at home as a guest! The only thing i would say was missing was a golf cart provided at the house, but we rented one and had a blast! Thank you all for your dedicated efforts to provide us a wonderful time away it was so appreciated by me and my family! We have already told everyone back home in NC to visit! With many blessings, the Mace Family

Stayed with my family (8 total - 6 Adults, 2 kids) and had a blast. Location was absolutely perfect, the amenities were great, convenient to the Beach, Food, Shopping. Highly recommend Bruster’s Icecream. The house had comfy beds, showers, a piano that my girls loved, and books to read and relax.

Great place for a family stay!!!

Overall, we had a wonderful time with the family. House was incredible and enough room for all of us. Close to everything in Destin!!! Family created many memories this trip! HOA rules are a little over the top. It was difficult to get three vehicles in the driveway per HOA!! The listing stated Beach toys, chairs and bikes but most of the chairs were rusted and the toys overused. The bike tires were low on air and we had to buy a pump!

Great Property

The home was very clean and we made sure it was the way it was supposed to be when we left. Enjoyed the stay. The only things we wish were different was that there was more than one hot water heater and the delta knobs in faucets were hard in some bathrooms to turn to the hot position. I haven't seen those type knobs in a while. Besides that it was like sort of being at home. Had to adjust to three bathrooms while at home we have four plus a half upstairs and one half downstairs. I still would give it 5 stars.

Graduation Get-away

Our first time in Destin won't be the last. Two families (4 parents, 6 late teens/early 20s) celebrated our high schoolers' graduation in this lovely home. The "kids" said it was bougie which (I found out) is a high compliment. They enjoyed the bikes and proximity to the beach tremendously. Having a second fridge in the garage was a wonderful surprise as we cooked many meals in the well stocked, spacious kitchen. Highly recommend!

Family Get Away

This house was perfect for our family! The property was very nice and clean and very livable. Loved the screen porch. This was a relaxing trip. We went to the beach everyday. It's about 1/2 mile walk but a very easy path that avoids busy streets. There was a wagon available and lots of sand toys which came in handy. Also used the neighborhood pool and playground and tennis court. A great ice cream stand was also a brief walk. Many good restaurants nearby, but also a very nice grill available in the porch which we used a lot. We had a wonderful time.

HOA loaded with rules

The house was beautiful and exactly as pictured but the rules for the HOA are not clearly stated and way over the top. We had three cars and were constantly moving them around to keep from being fined. The location is excellent, lots of fun restaurants, but way to many rules.

Beachwalk Retreat Kingdons

The property was excellent for our family. Spacious, comfortable and convenient location. There are two things we did notice before we left that you may want to check out: 1) The main bathroom off the foyer looks like it had a leak around the toilet. At first we thought it was just from a wet swimsuit but then we noticed it each time we entered the batchroom. 2) And, the screen door off the lanai going outside had loose screws. My son who is in construction said the screws looked like they weren't the right size for the door. Thanks for making our vacation home an excellent experience. We will definitely plan on coming back to Beachwalk Retreat on future vacations to Destin. Nelda & Gary Kingdon & Family!
