Playa Paradise Retreat

"This home is amazing! Furnishings are top notch. The house is immaculate. Kristi gave suggestions of local things to do, the beach is just a 5 minute walk and was so nice to have an umbrella, beach chairs and wagon provided." -Karen

88 degree heated pool! Nothing better than a fresh water swim after day at the beach. Jump in the heated pool, take a swim in fresh water after a long day at the beach.

See the red line? Shortcut to Beach - go to the back left of the property, follow the sand trail, walking south towards the water, cross the street, then under the condos. BEACH!

A 3 minute walk to the beach with the wagon makes this location ideal...away from the crowds, no elevators, no parking hassles! Simply enjoy the beach with all the gear - toys, umbrellas, wagon, cooler, all the chairs!

Paddleboard any time in the lagoon. So peaceful and calm.
