The 4 Seas Cottage was amazing!!!! This was our first time renting a house. We usually stay in oceanfront condos. We were traveling with a larger group than normal this year so we decided to rent a house. I was very skeptical because I love being oceanfront. This home did not disappoint!!! The ocean was so close and the quietness of the community was a definite plus. We had wonderful neighbors and our children made new friends. The house was beautiful and even larger than I thought it would be. We traveled with 4 adults and 4 children and we loved all the extra space and extra bathrooms. The home was very well stocked. Kathy was a pleasure to work with and answered all my questions along the way. She stayed in contact with us from the time we booked until we made it home. I would definitely recommend Kathy and her rental homes. We look forward to visiting again next year!!!!
I am so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and I hope we hear from you again soon!!

We had a really enjoyable (and fast!) week in Destin at the 4 Seasons. It was everything we imagined and more. The property was very clean and ready for us to unload for the 11 in our family. We had no issues and the property was well stocked for our needs. Kathy was a pleasure to work with and we appreciate her kindness. This was our 3 or 4th time to visit Beach Retreat and as always the facility was wonderful. Met so many nice folks from Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana and Wisconsin at the beach and pool. Weather was fantastic and only had one day of rain which ended by 4 pm. We enjoy our trips to Destin and as always there was not enough time to partake of all we had intended!! Thanks you so very much for the wonderful accomodations.
I am so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at the 4 Seas cottage! it is always a pleasure seeing you! I hope you will come back again soon!!!!
