We’ve stayed here twice and have really enjoyed it! Your responses to our needs was fast and courteous. The only reason we didn’t give a 5 was because of the broken stove top. Luckily we didn’t need to cook! Thanks again!

We sincerely apologize for the broken stove top and are grateful for your understanding. We're pleased to let you know that a new top has been ordered and will be installed shortly.

We go to the Texas coast every summer and really enjoyed our stay here. The unit was clean and beautiful. Great location with close access to the beach and pool. Note if you have little ones that this specific property does not have a tub in either bathroom. Made it a little tricky getting our one year old clean after a super sandy day at the beach. But, we loved it and plan to stay here in the future!


Thank you for sharing your delightful experience at our property! We're thrilled to hear that you and your family enjoyed the beautiful, clean accommodations and the convenient access to the beach and pool—it's truly a slice of paradise here on the Texas coast.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the bathroom setup and understand how important it is to have facilities that cater to families with little ones. Your insight is invaluable, and we'll certainly keep it in mind as we continue to improve our guest experience.
It's wonderful to know that you plan to stay with us in the future, and we can't wait to welcome you back for more sun, sand, and unforgettable memories. If there's anything we can do to make your next visit even more special, please feel free to reach out. Here's to many more summers filled with joy and laughter! ☀️

We had an excellent stay at the Island Retreat unit 104. Plenty of room for 6 adults, easy walk to the beach, clean. We had an issue with the coffee maker and they drove over with a new one! Excellent service.If I could change one thing, it would be to have more tall chair for the deck. :) We will be back next year.

We loved this unit. From the interior to the view of the ocean, we loved Beauty and The Beach. We had a group of 7 and there was plenty of room to stretch out and be comfortable. It was a very relaxing vacation and Beauty and The Beach was the main reason why. It had everything we could ask from a rental unit. Including games! There are 2 pools on site and we enjoyed them both. Side note: If we had to choose, we would go with the pool next to the tennis/pickleball/basketball court. It had less people. We even had the pool to ourselves a couple of times.

It was great to be back at Beauty & The Beach! As Winter Texans we stayed in this unit several years ago, but due to Harvey had been unable to return until this winter. We tried other units around town but none were as perfect of a fit. The location is great and the amenities are superb! We stayed for two months, loved it, and have re-booked for next winter. That's the highest compliment we can give.

This condo is perfect for family getaways. We had such spacious accommodations in this condo and was able to sleep our family of 5 plus a friend. From morning coffee on the back porch, to a fun day on the beach that is within walking distance, to late evening in our pj's listening to the ocean and looking at the moon once again from the back porch. It is newly renovated and updated. The decor is bright and beachy! We just love Beauty and the Beach!
