Girls Trip @ Gabby's Retreat
Best girls trip! This place didn't disappoint! We truly enjoyed our time at the beach. The house was great for the group we had. Plenty of room for grown kids to have their space and two balcony options for evenings outside. We will be back!!

Fun family stay!
We had a great time with our young boys and another family we traveled with. The property and home were very clean. We had a great time at the beach and both pools. When we noticed the property didn’t have a vacuum and after a few days at the beach the sand was starting to add up. We reached out to management and they went out and bought one that day. The home was spacious and I appreciated the extra half bath on the main level. We will for sure be back to stay at this unit.

Amazing place
The place was exactly as in the pictures, appliances worked very good as well as the AC. very confortable beds, hot water in showers, super good internet acces. Huge fridge, very spacious kitchen / living room . We were a party of 9 but there is room enough for 12 or even 13 people comfortably. 500 mts walk to get to the beach, in a very beautiful neighborhood . The two pools are great, one of them just across street. Definitely worth it. I will come back.

Beautiful Resort
The property is beautiful… Gabbys Retreat is a well kept spacious unit. It was very clean and provided most everything needed for a weekend stay… except for the seating in the living area which does not accommodate the capacity of people staying. There is a smaller loveseat and 3 club chairs, our family was pretty cramped trying to watch a movie after a day at the beach & dinner. We had to pull a couple of the dining room chairs to sit on. The Wi-Fi is terrible too … couldn’t get a signal when trying to communicate by phone to our other family members staying on the property. Very frustrating. Lots of stairs so pay attention if you have toddlers/small children (be sure and look at the virtual tour) Lastly is the construction currently behind this unit … the large forklift was constantly blocking one of the entrances from the main street to the garage. Once building is completed it will be perfect. This unit is steps away from the beautiful pool and guest relations office where we rented our golf cart. The pool has a very nice walk up bar w delicious cocktails, snacks and super friendly staff. The golf cart rental was perfect… the street behind this unit (Sunrise Ave) takes you directly to the dunes crossover to the beach. The resort provides a portable air conditioned bathroom on the beach and food and beverage service and umbrella and chair set up …. Luxury all the way. Lastly, I would rent this unit again if they change the furniture in living room to more practical seating…. Needs a sectional.

Great rental! Great vacation!!
The rental was great! Spacious, clean & nicely decorated. Super convenient to the pool...just steps away. A bit of a hike to the beach...especially if you’re taking a bunch of stuff with you...but we rented a golf cart & it turned out to be a great decision for our family of six. My only complaints would be that there was a mild mildew smell in the laundry room and master bath but it was bearable. I also wish the master bedroom had nicer bedding but I would definitely stay here again regardless! This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

Great Stay
We had a great stay. It was opening weekend after the Shelter in Place orders were lifted so a lot of the amenities were not open, but we still enjoyed our stay. The home was nice and well maintained. The location was close enough to town but far enough away to enjoy some peace and quiet. The rental company was quick to response to any questions we had. It appeared that we were the first renters for the season so the home needed some touching up when we got to the location. The cleaners were on property within 30 minutes on a Saturday evening to do the needed touch ups. After that, the property was spotless! The home had a nice view since they have not completed a home across the street yet. The neighborhood is still new so they had limited golf course and there was on-going construction. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.
