This place was fabulous, top to bottom, inside and out. Beautiful pool, beautiful spacious kitchen, two refrigerators, plenty of seating. 13 woman on a “girl trip” had plenty of personal space, as well as gathering space. 10/10 recommend.

I most definitely recommend this rental property and Paradise Beach Homes rental company. It deserves way more than 5 stars! We had 23 family members from Sweden, California, Maryland and Florida during our 2-week stay and never felt crowded. Everyone was so thrilled with the spacious interior and all the high-end amenities, comfortable beds, the nearness to the beach, the availabiity of beach towels, beach chairs, coolers, boogie boards, umbrellas, a beach tent, even a kayak! After spending time at the beach, everyone enjoyed the amazing swimming pool and outdoor eating area. Everything about Sea Turtle Retreat is above and beyond! We especially appreciated having THREE washers & dryers, TWO refrigerators and dishwashers and an ice maker. The 2 spacious balconies are comfortable and well shaded, and the top deck offered a perfect view of the July 4th fireworks! We contacted the rental management a couple times for minor issues and had immediate response! This house does not disappoint! My only suggestion would be a 2nd beach tent. Luckily I live in Pensacola and had a beach tent that I could bring out and, with 23 people, having the extra shade against the July sun was definitely helpful.

This house was the most spacious and comfortable house we have rented. The two bed swings on the 2nd balcony were used everyday by the teens for reading and talking. The great room and kitchen were always buzzing with activity with space for the 3 year old to run around in. Good views of the Gulf were visible from both 2nd and 3rd level balconies. However, the new house across the street is blocking some views. We kept our beach stuff in our cars and used all of the rings, floats and sand toys in the garage.
That was super nice and the quick walk to the beach is perfect! A great vacation home!

The staff at Paradise Beach Homes were so friendly, welcoming, and great to work with as we booked our rental then made a change a few months before our vacation. The house was extremely clean and had all the amenities we needed. We enjoyed using the fire pit on the top level balcony and appreciated being able to use the beach chairs, tent, and wagon at the rental house. Renting through Paradise Beach Homes is highly recommended!

We loved this vacation home, we have stayed in many along the panhandle this is the best. The location is excellent the house is stocked with more extras than we have ever experienced. The kitchen was well stocked the paper goods the extra beach towels, more than enough seating for all and the beds were super comfortable. We had a little trouble with some of the door locks probably due to salt air exposure not a huge problem by any means. The staff at Paradise Beach Homes were a dream to work with they were very responsive and friendly. My one suggestion would be to heat the pool it was very cold but at least the gulf was warm!!
Overall a fantastic experience.

We vacation as a large group every year and we decided to try somewhere different this year. Our 1st time to Pensacola Beach and it is now my new favorite place. We had a great week. The house had everything you needed and more. So much room and deck space. The Pool was our favorite. Can’t wait to come back next year.

We experienced one of our best Florida vacations in a long while. There were 17 family members in total, 7 were kids. The first thing that stood out to us was the quality of furnishings, both inside and out. Second was how well equipped the kitchen was. We’ve been renting houses in Florida for quite a few years and this one, by far, stood out. Beach access was within 100 feet. Great location for grocery, shopping, and restaurants. We would not hesitate to rent this property in the future.

This home was amazing! There were 20 of us and there was so much space in the house and outdoors that we never felt on top of each other. The kitchen was AMAZING! I've never stayed anywhere with pantry space like this home. We usually have to have all our food all over the counters. Two dishwashers, 3 washer & dryers. They even had extra beach towels there for us to use. Spent most our time on the porches eating & enjoying eachother and the ocean view & breezes. Could not believe all the things in the garage we could use. Chairs, floats and the Kayak was a big hit. We've already booked for next year.

There aren’t enough good things to say about this house!! We rented it for our family for our intimate wedding. It was so spacious and everyone loved it! My nieces and nephews loved the pool! The garage was FULL of pool toys, beach toys, chairs, goggles, and umbrellas. This was great for our family that flew in. If we ever have another big family trip, we will definitely plan it around when this house is available. The location was far enough away from the main road that you didn’t have any noisy traffic but close enough to run and grab things from the store.

Our family is spreadout over the US and we met at the Sea Turtle Retreat this year for Christmas. The house is even better than the pictures. Perfect layout for a large gathering. Everything is in great condition, beautiful views and so close to the beach. Our favorite feature was the large swings on the one deck, great for nap listening to the oean. Kitchen is very well equipped for large gatherings. We had one maintanence issue that was promptly responded to and resolved, great service by Paradise Homes! The only recommendation we have is for a counter ice maker. We look forward to being able to return to this wonderful house!

Beautiful home that was spacious with lots of amenities. The gulf view from the front deck awesome. Everyones Beds were comfortable and bathrooms were nicely decorated as well as the rest of the house. Outside area around the pool was fantastic for nightly cookouts. Also very short walk to the beach everyday.

Sea Turtle Retreat is absolutely beautiful. If you are looking for sq footage this is it. The bedrooms are much larger than appears in photos. The one small bedroom has a door which opens into a bathroom. It has multiple refrigerators, dishwashers, and washer/dryers. There were so many pool and beach toys/chairs/boards that the owners were kind enough to allow use. The beach access was close. The pool is a great size. The shallow deck in the pool is great for small kids. My only recommendation is more seating on the main deck. We rent often and this is in our top 2. We will be back. Almost forgot- plenty of ocean views.

Having stayed at this home last year when it was privately owned we knew what to expect. This is a great home with large kitchen ( 2 dishwashers and 2 fridges) that works well for large groups. The pool is great for kids with a large lounge area perfect for the two 2 year olds in our group and the two levels of wide covered porches are a highlight. I do feel that they could use more outdoor seating in the form of an outdoor table and chairs for meals and new outdoor seating set. Something larger than a love seat would be great to accommodate more people outside at once.
The bedrooms are very nice and beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with all the dishes/ pots/ utensils you could need.
We love that there is a garage filled with beach chairs, umbrellas, toys, floats, wagon and kayak to use so we don’t have to pack as much!
Paradise beach homes we very responsive for our 2 requests and took care of them immediately. ( a new propane tank since it was nearly empty and a wasp nest we found in the backyard)
They even came and rolled out the trash cans rather than us having to do it.
We were very happy with the entire stay and new management with paradise beach homes and will be returning next year.

What a great house to celebrate a wedding. We have rerented this house and hope that it will be as well furnished and stocked next year. It was just transferred from an owner rental to Paradise Beach Homes. There were such nice touches like special towels for the kids, tons of toys, and a kayak to enjoy. My only recomendation on this house is that with two dishwashers, two refrigerators, three washers and dryers, it definitely needs a free standing ice maker. There was only one working in the house. During the summer, that would be a problem for sure.
