This is our second time staying at Island Retreat. This was our first time in 126 and it was great. It had everything we could have needed for coffee cooking and eating. It was very clean, had a cute color scheme and it was close to the beach and the rinsing station. There were only 3 of us and it accommodated us very well. I will definitely be booking this room again.

We were extremely please with the accommodations and the property. Our patio overlooked the the boardwalk leading right to the water. We had a great breeze on the patio which made it very nice sitting there in the evenings sipping on some wine after a day of play on the beach. Will definitely be back in 2021!!

Manager's Response

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are glad that you enjoyed your Port A vacay overlooking the boardwalk to the water, sipping wine on the back patio in the Gulf breeze and other accommodations while at this property. We hope to have you back again soon.

Overall

I would have liked an easier process reserving the room. Good thing I called to verify my reservation because I had none even though they took my payment. Brenda took care of it and she was wonderful!
They need to mop the floors, they were super sticky! With paying $100.00 fee for cleaning, floors should be mopped. I feel like I leave the room cleaner than it was when we got there. They should lower the cost if they’re not going to clean it throughly. They should waive the cost for previous guests that leave the room clean.

Island Retreat 126 is an excellent place to stay for a few days or a few weeks as we did. The boardwalk to the beach is just a few steps away. Port A, is one of our favorite places to visit and this rental topped them all for location and comfort. We enjoyed cruising town in a golf cart, eating like royalty in all the different restaurants . Life in Paradise Vacation Rentals provided excellent customer service. We can't wait for our next visit!

Overall

Great location to the beach. Condo had everything we needed. Beds were very comfortable, the temperature stayed very cool in the condo which is important to while sleeping at night and the whole place was kept very clean.

Decent stay if you need the bare minimum!

Reviewed on 2020-06-09 by , Houston, TX United States

Overall

This condo had an excellent location and easy beach access. This section of the beach was also less crowded as the three boardwalks in the complex are private. Two things to know if you’re coming here - first, while it is advertised to sleep four, this is a tiny studio and four people (particularly four adults) would be extremely difficult. There’s furniture shoved in every available space so I would not recommend for four people.

Second, be prepared that this condo has the bare minimum. For a four night stay, we were given two rolls of toilet paper. There’s only one thing extra blanket. The kitchen has enough utensils and such but be prepared to bring your cooking oil, any supplies that go beyond a skillet and a pot, etc.

We would definitely go back again but would probably be a little more prepared for a bare bones stay.

Manager's Response

Thank you for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay at this studio condo and were able to stay away from the crowded beach areas. All of our property owners only provide basic pots, pans and utensils, no specialty items. We appreciate your business and look forward to having you back soon.
