IR57: Island Retreat 57

The Island Retreat #57 through Life in Paradise Vacation Rentals was absolutely amazing. I love their transparency, communication, & convenience of everything. Our unit was right next to the pool and the boardwalk to the beach (4min walk with kids and a wagon).The unit had all the necessities like cold AC, good beds, washer/dryer, coffee maker, and pots and pans in the kitchenette. I would definitely stay there again. Cons: It is an older unit but still great. The sheets could have been a little softer but still had a place to lay my head and I’m fine with that.

We had a wonderful post Labor Day stay at Island Retreat. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The grounds were clean, landscaped and well maintained. the huge pool was pristine and refreshing. All pool furniture was clean and in excellent condition. Our condo was clean & ready for us to enjoy. For our condo to be on the upper price range for a 2 bedroom it does need some updating. We look forward to our next visit to island Retreat!

We enjoyed our stay in this condo and facility. Everything was clean, well stocked and check in was a breeze. Location of condo was excellent with poolside view. I loved that you had a washer/dryer in the unit because it was so convenient. We added a fly swatter to be used by future guests. I have two suggestions: The master bathroom shower was having an issue with the hot water valve. The washer, handle or both needed repairing or replacing because water did not flow out the shower head with adequate pressure instead it leak from the turn on spigot/handle. Additionally, the master bed mattress was not uncomfortable, however you do roll to the outside of the mattress. A replacement at some point may be warranted.

Everything was great. We are a group of female veterans that served together. We meet up once a year to relax and enjoy each other's company. It was very relaxing and so comfortable. The staff was excellent.

PERFECT!!! CONDO WAS PERFECT!! AS A LONG TIME TRAVELER TO PORT A, I USED TO STAY AT THE ISLAND RETREAT WITH MY FOLKS AS A CHILD AND INTO MY LATE TEENAGE YEARS, SO VERY COMFORTING AND RELAXING! STAFF / SECURITY WAS GREAT MADE ALL FEEL SAFE!

The accommodations were fantastic!!! We super enjoyed how clean and accessible everything was. The only thing I would change is asking in advance how many vehicle passes are needed. The office was closed on Sunday and I worried about a vehicle getting towed all evening till the office opened the next day. Otherwise great!! Booking here again next year :)

We loved our room - actually we stayed in 54 - switched rooms with my granddaughters since their Moms were in 61. So we will try to get 54 next year. Thanks f
