Everything about this house is amazing the communicating with the hosts . The house was beautiful . Fully stocked with everything you may need plus the view from the balcony is great . It’s just a small walk and drive from the beach right around the corner . We’ve had a great time here and aren’t at all ready to leave in the morning !!

Thank you so much! We're so glad you enjoyed your time in Navarre Beach. You and your family are welcome back anytime!
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!

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your family getaway and your time in Navarre Beach. It really is a special place.

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.

We had a girls weekend here over Memorial Day. Our day could not have been more perfect. The host was extremely communicative as well as the space was perfect. Everything you need is in this unit. Definitely would rent here again.
