Perfect Family Vacation spot!
This our second time staying at this lovely house! Our boys live fishing off the dock , and we had amazing sunsets , even dolphins chasing fish just a few feet away! The house was the perfect size. Also I Love the short walk to Tom Thumb and the pier.

Perfect Vacation
This is by far the best place we’ve ever stayed. The location a PERFECT and the townhome had everything we needed. We spent more time on the sound than the gulf. Water on the sound side was calm and perfect. Plus, it’s literally right outside your back door. The area is quiet and calm with a relaxing atmosphere. We can’t wait to go back!

Wonderful vacation
Condo location was perfect. Everything was as described. We enjoyed the pool and fishing from the dock. This is a small quiet complex. The only downfall was some of the neighbors who live here full time were not so friendly. Other than that, everything was great.

The house is very nice. The garage was full of beach toys including kayaks, paddle boards, and a lily pad. The dock was great for fishing with the kids and beach access if very close.

Fantastic week!
The best part of this stay was the location. We loved the quick walk or ride to the beach, but had a great time relaxing in the sound which was steps out our door. The ocean toys and kayaks were fun to have provided, and the pool was very convenient. The area was quiet and the place was large enough to house us all comfortably. We will be back!

Best family vaca
My husband and I took our four children, ages ranging from 7 to 19 and the house was very accommodating for all of us. The extra room in the basement was a bonus, so all of our kids have their own room! The house was very well stocked and very clean. Would most definitely stay again!

Great condo and location
This was our 2nd stay at this condo and once again we were so happy with everything. The condo is located in a great place and has everything you need. We had 3 teenagers and 1 pre-teen staying with us and they enjoyed everything, being close to the bay and the ocean are what makes this place incredible. The amenities are just as they are listed and you will have everything you need plus a beautiful view of the sunset every night.

Amazing trip
My family and I really enjoyed our stay in Navarre, the area is great, and the property was perfect. Clean, comfortable, and a great location. Plenty of room for the 5 of us and I highly recommend staying here. You have your own little beach to use or you can walk to the main beach.

Nice stay!
We had a nice stay. The kitchen and bathrooms were stocked with everything we needed. There was a variety of pool and beach gear available for use in the garage. The pool was lovely and never too crowded. The resident neighbors were friendly. Beach, pier, souvenir shops, food, and gas station are within walking distance.

Convenient & Comfy & Clean
This is a well maintained, very clean, very spacious property with the kindest owner. The pool is just off the back deck and the boat slip as well. The beach is a walk across the street. Quiet neighborhood and a quick drive to Pensacola or Destin. There are some interior steps but we didn’t mind.

Great stay in Navarre Beach
My family and I had a wonderful stay in Navarre Beach. The home was very roomy and clean. The house was also full of all sorts of things we did not plan on it having. Towels, Bikes, Beach things, etc. The little Beach, the pool, and the dock were all very nice amenities. Exceeding our expectations! Had a wonderful time and look forward to making a return visit!

Great place close to the beach and steps from the pool.
We really enjoyed our stay the house was very nice and had everything you could need for the beach or down at pool. The pool is steps out the back door and the beach is a short 5min walk across street, if you want you a more relaxed beach drive west about 10min to opal beach at the park and get you a 25$ pass for a week well worth it. Ms Glenda was very great about answering any questions right away and was always on top of things. We loved our stay and will be back next year for shore if we dont buy a place before then.

Awesome!
Perfect location combining the pool and small beach right outside your back door. You then have a short walk to the main beach which is the best I have been to on the gulf coast. Great large deck for spending your evenings watching the sunset. The condo is also great. Very comfortable with all the things you need. It is also one of the easier locations to drive to if heading from the Atlanta area. Will definitely return here!

Great place to stay!
We had a great time at this townhouse. We had 4 adults and 3 children. This townhome has everything you need! They had beach chairs, umbrellas, beach toys and beach wagon. We loved the pool, the bay side small beach and were really close to the gulf side too. We were not able to swim on the gulf side because the waves were rough so we really enjoyed the fact that we had a pool and a bay side to swim in! We loved being able to spread out with all the space. Great communication with the owner! We will stay here again if we can.

Exactly as advertised
The place was very clean, looks just as advertised, stocked with plenty of beach equipment, we even added a few pieces. The neighbors are great, the private beach is just steps from the deck, and the pier is great if you want to fish. The only regret is that the pool is still under repair from a hurricane, but that's not the owner's fault. The kitchen and grill are great if you like cooking out. And the morning view from the decks are a great view. I Will definitely use this place when visiting in the future, And would rank higher than a 5 if i could!!

At the Beach
We enjoyed being at the beach and in Navarre very much. It is just a few steps to the bay but quite a little hike to the beach. The beach chairs provided are very worn and after toting several to the beach we realized they were completely rusted and broken. We were able to rent some for $220 for two days. The home was clean and provided a nice stay. The host is very good and kind. A few things could use updating, replacing and repairing. The walk along the bay was really nice with gorgeous sunsets. Thank you for a nice relaxing time. We had plenty of room and our family really enjoyed it.

Ok but needs maintenance
Overall we enjoyed the stay, enough space, clean beds, enough kitchen plates, pots and such, kayaks were nice to try out. Location was ok for March, we did lots of walking, but in summer heat, we prefer to stay closer to the gulf side so we do not need to carry all beach essentials in the hot weather. Too many stairs for us. The reason for overall 4 starts is that the unit is very outdated and needs maintenance- little fixes are needed all over, it was inconvenient to have no lights and fan working on bathroom. I tripped a few times on the stairs over the metal edge coming off, and moving carpet. The cabinets and draws are dirty, I had to clean what we used. There is a moldy smell in the basement room and garage. We didn't use that space so it worked out for us. The property can benefit from some deep cleaning and regular maintenance.

Spring Break
We had a wonderful time at the townhouse and were very pleased with the home. The mattress and linens were very comfortable along with the furniture and pleasant decor. It was the perfect location for our group of 9 (grandparents, parents, 4 teenagers and a 10 year old) because we were able to walk, ride bikes and get to everything easily. It was a little chilly for us but the kids stayed active with beach volleyball, tennis and other activities. We were all THRILLED that the town home had bicycles and beach chairs which we were not able to bring with us. The multiple floors gave each of us a chance to have a reprieve from each other, especially the BONUS room downstairs which the kids enjoyed as their personal escape from the adults to play legos and watch t.v. It was a great place and we would return for sure.
