Thank you, so glad you had a great stay. The seasons and tides do effect the size of our beach. We hope you are able to return for another season.

We had an amazing stay at this property! The host was a very effective communicator and answered in a timely manner. Designated parking spaces were great, kitchen was fully stocked, and I loved that there was in-unit laundry!! Very clean property and I can tell the hosts care have put in a lot of thought when it comes to leaving extras for their guests such as swim diapers, laundry pods, beach chairs, sunscreen, games, dish sponge and towels, etc.!! Overall we couldn’t have been happier with our stay! Very convenient access to the pier to fish or watch the sunset.

Beautiful Spot - Great Place!

This was a fantastic stay! The place was neat and clean, and had all the things (towels, coffee, blankets, etc.) we needed for our trip. The little beach/pier area in the back was beautiful too, and we made use of it. The general location was great to and provided easy access to Navarre and Destin

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this property. the host was very easy to deal with and answered any questions promptly. The property itself was exceptionally clean which included everything needed, (except for food obviously). The area is very quiet and relaxing with friendly neighbors. The beach at the property is very small but there again, very well kept. We enjoyed our time here so much that if it wasn't for work, we would have asked if we could extend our stay for another week. You cannot go wrong with booking this place for your vacation ...Book, and enjoy ....

Perfect place for us!

This was the perfect place for us to celebrate my son’s birthday! It was clean and had everything we needed. It was only ten minutes to the public beach and the same to local restaurants. It was a quiet place and we felt safe the whole time. Definitely recommend!

Beach vaca

The property was clean & well stocked with charcoal, beach items, cleaning supplies. Rooms were comfortable and space was good for our family if 6. The only issue was the private beach was much smaller than expected and only really good for young kiddos

I’m glad you had a great time. I’m sorry the beach was not as expected. Unfortunately the daily and seasonal tides do cause the water to be high sometimes so the beach can be smaller.

Summer Stay

We booked this property because it had an excellent value and looked great inside. The property was great. No issues. Easy to check in as the property owner sends you a door code the morning of. This property is essentially located 15-20 minutes from both Destin and Navarre. The trade off of location for value was justified to us. Very quiet complex area. Overall we had a great time. It was only the two of us but you could definitely get a family in here easily.

Perfect Vacation

This property was everything we could have asked for! We came for a baseball tournament but enjoyed the beach, nature trails and pool. Location is great as we were able to get to everything within 10-15 minutes. The master bed is one of the only beds I have slept on in a rental that did not hurt my back! It was wonderful! The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking and even some extra things that we hadn't thought of. We had peaceful evenings outside and never heard the other units around us. Having beach items for us to borrow put the finishing touches on this house. We look forward to staying here again!

Disliked: Check-in

Delta cancelled our flights, NO partial refund

I understand cancellation policies, but when the flight gets cancelled and we can do nothing about it, I feel like it would have been nice to at least get a partial refund for the 6 days we had paid for. These policies are the reason we are gradually switching back to hotels. Sorry we missed it. The company should take care of the renters so the rental property itself doesn't lose out and neither does the renter.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location
The townhouse was adorable. Plenty of space. Photos are a little deceptive, there is no water view from townhouse; there is another building in the way. But it was a very short walk to the water. Beach area was small, but that was only because of the time of year with the tides and recent storms before our arrival. I have no doubt in the summer there would be more beach area. The location was great, far enough away for peace and quiet but close enough to everything that we didn’t drive more than 30 minutes for anything. About 10 minutes to Navarre beach which was our focus so that was great. Beds and couches were very comfortable. Great to have a laundry area with soap and softener provided. The only “complaint” which really isn’t even that would be to have access to the full dock area. It was a little difficult to fish from the smaller doc area available. I understand not having access though as there are boats stored on the locked area. Great to have all of the beach chairs/umbrellas/coolers available as well. Less to pack and makes life easier. Overall this townhouse was well worth the rate for location and amenities available.
