This was the perfect spot we needed for a quick relaxation trip to 30A. It has been many years since we have been to 30A and Iâve always loved the beaches here. This spot delivered exactly what we were looking for. A beautiful ocean view from the porch and two chairs to take in the sun and salt air.
Water drains slow! Needs a plumber to clean bathroom drains. Excessive sand in rug!Great location!Luv Bugs made using the balcony impossible.Biting flies were a problem at the beach.Our understanding is that this happens this time of the year when the wind is from the north.
We have stayed at this condominium complex multiple times in different units. The rental offers a great view, beach access and complimentary beach chair setup which I always want when I vacation on 30A. Check in/out is easy as the door codes are provided prior to arrival. As with any beach location, parking is a challenge with a large vehicle. This is the first time we have been here during a peak period (spring break) where there was no parking available in the lot. This would not preclude me from returning, however it is just something to note if you have a large truck or SUV.
We absolutely love staying at Commodores Retreat, but we have had a mixed experience with units. The first unit we stayed in on the 3rd floor was in great shape, but this trip we stayed on the 1st floor and the unit needed renovating. The location here is amazing, and price is great, too! We love waking up to the beach just outside of our door and it makes it easy not having to lug everything to the beach. We can simply go back to the condo for food or drinks.
Unfortunately, this unit was in need of cleaning and repair. Mainly, the bathroom was very moldy/mildewy and the walls were in need of washing.
Otherwise, the stay was pleasant and we appreciated the communication by the rental company.
Small older property directly on beautiful private beach. Condo was very clean, good quiet location right off 30A. I was glad to be on 1st floor since elevator was not working. Hopefully it will be repaired by my next visit as I definitely plan to return.
I would not stay at this particular unit again as I felt it was not as up to date as others Iâve stayed in..and the items supplied were the bare minimumâŠ.i usually will buy items and then leave what I have leftover such as coffee, paper products, cleaning items, salt and pepper but not here because they supplied nothing! Had to have housekeeping come and program remotes because that was not ready, no extra blankets for pullout sofaâŠvacuum didnât work, no water pressure, warm water not hot!!! I wonât go onâŠbeautiful location and proximity to beach was perfect just not happy with the unit itself!
Check and in and arrival was great. The condo was as described. Location is excellent! The area feels very safe and has a classic family beach town vibe. We realized on our second night that the washing machine was not working. We contacted the manager and it needed a new part. It was repaired 3 days later, the day before we were checking out. This was an inconvenience but the property manager made it right by giving us a partial refund! The condo and pool are a little dated but if you are looking for a reasonably priced small condo on the water in a beautiful location away from the crowds of Destin, this is the place for you! I would stay here again!
Great beach front property. Top bunk bed was very short. Mold issue in the bathroom should be addressed. Felt like not giving us trash bags was a bit cheap as most place provide those and would have like heads up. It was odd they also asked us directly via email if we want to view property for sale.
Otherwise grwat place with amazing balcony. Parking was tight but good. Beach chairs and umbrella was nice.
Best place on the beach. Everything close that we needed. A lot of construction in the area, but did not effect our stay. Just drive slowly past the workers! Only thing was no parking for persons visiting us, otherwise no complaints
