Exceeded Expectations

The property was spot on perfect, and Ruth and Tracy are absolutely amazing. I would strongly recommend having them cook for you, the dinner and brunch were remarkable. Thank you both for making our trip the best it could be.

ABSOLUTE PARADISE!

A group of 13 adults rented The Retreat to celebrate birthdays, retirements and long-time friendships. We had the absolute best time ever! The property is absolutely amazing and Ruth is the best too! We laughed, sang, boated, fished, swam, relaxed and just enjoyed being together. We also had Ruth prepare a fabulous 60th birthday dinner that was out of this world! Once at The Retreat, you never have to leave if you don't want to. It has everything. I can't say enough about this fabulous property other than we will definitely be back!

Extraordinary destination!

13 of us, 3 generations, thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beauteous property. Once you arrive, no need to leave. We used the pool morning-to-night, paddle boards + kayaks great for first timers, nonstop fishing, lots of games indoors and out, elevator handy for loading/unloading. Ruth is very accommodating and accessible. Beds are luxurious, beautiful bathrooms, screened eating areas w easy access to kitchens and bars, bikes were nice for quick trip to grocery or over to the beach (lots of that sargassum seaweed this week so we didn’t spend time there). They thought of everything. We’ve done many family trips over the last 13 years, to really nice places, but The Retreat was our favorite!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
