Loved 3 Palms Retreat. Stayed there for a week with our 4 children and their families. Really enjoyed being right on the beach. We swam, watched spectacular sunsets from the deck, caught some waves, saw dolphins, found sand dollars and played in the sand. Used the gas grill and enjoyed many meals right on the large table on the back deck with perfect Gulf views. We were close enough to wave to adults on beach to hand off grandkids. Recommend walking over to French Bakery for treats, breads and breakfast. Also enjoyed walking to Beach Waves Grill. Definitely one of our favorite family vacations!! Hope to come back.
