First time staying here, and we had a quick little family getaway. We always love staying in Navarre. The host was very friendly and very quick to answer any questions I had about the property. We were not far from Opal Beach and it was absolutely beautiful as always. Be prepared to climb two flights of stairs, but we didn’t mind! They had a stocked pantry with paper plates, cups, and garbage bags and even laundry detergent available. It was very clean and spacious for our family of four. Definitely recommend staying here!

The property was exactly as described. It was on the sound and an easy one block walk to a public access for the ocean. The extras that this property had definitely helped the five star rating. There is NOTHING you need for the beach that this property doesn't have except sunscreen! The beach chairs are amazing, boogie boards, sand castle toys, scuba gear, and pool toys. It was a fantastic amenity!! Our family used so many games in the closet and the arcade game was used several times a day The ease of check-in and communication with host was good.
