This house lacked for nothing, Amenities galore! I would definitely recommend you rent a golf cart as it is a hike to the beach with all the gear needed for a fun day. The community pool was small but that’s not what we come to the beach for. We would definitely rent this home again.

We traveled with 3 couples and kids! Bunk room was perfect for kids. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed (pots pans utensils). Home was very clean! Appreciated the wagon and beach items. Outdoor shower was awesome and walkable to beach or sound. Perfect quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location and amenities of this rental is perfect. We had everything available to us as described. The house is beautiful and clean. We were so close to the ocean and also the sound. We spent a lot of time between the two as well as at the pool. There are so many things to do within short travel distances. There is a wonderful playground and splash pad just before you leave Navarre to come across the causeway to Navarre Beach. We loved Harbor Village and took the kids on the Buccaneer Pirate Adventure. We had a blast at Lagunas in Pensacola. Mini golf and shopping are close. Had such a terrific time! Will return and book this rental again!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our group of 3 moms and 7 boys loved this stay. The space was perfect for us, and the kids enjoyed the bunk room. The living and Dino’s area were comfortable. It is elevated, so you need to be able to climb the flight of stairs into the home. The houses are in a line on the cup de sac and many are homeowners, which gives it a neighborhood feel. In that regard , it is a quiet area. Probably not ideal for a rowdy group. The proximity to the back bay is wonderful, and there is a really nice little beach there which offers a beautiful sunset and swimming without the wave action. The national seashore is minutes away on foot and the beach is a quick hop across the street. We walked , but there is parking if you have a load of stuff or little ones. The swimming pool was close and clean. The staff was very responsive and polite. They were very easy to communicate with over text message. We have been taking this trip for 6 years, and we all voted this home our best stay.

10/10

We had never stayed by the bay and this was a fantastic first experience. A short walk to the bay and we enjoyed putting our lawn chairs in the water and cooling off - be sure to look for the walkway, the sand is so fine it is difficult to walk. When we wanted a change, the beach was just a few blocks away and there are public parking areas so you can drive or use a golf cart. The house was equipped with everything we could possibly need, plenty of room for three families to spread out and the manager was very responsive to any questions. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Our group of 11 had a wonderful time & couldn't get over how beautiful the house is. We were very close to what seemed like a bay which was came waters that the little & adults enjoyed the most of. We were also not far from the bigger beach. We will definitely plan another visit to Navarre Beach & hopefully be able to rent this house again.

This house is fantastic. We had three small families with younger kids and a grandparent and everybody slept comfortably. Living room nice, kitchen nicer than what we have in our homes. Gated neighborhood was nice and really good for the kids and the neighbors were all friendly. The walk to the sound/bay was very easy and it was good for kids, however the beach was a solid three blocks away. Walkable but too much with kids and toys. It made the golf cart we rented super important and strongly strongly strongly recommended!

VRBO charged me $411 just to book this property. That is a ridiculous amount of money. I was unaware of these charges before they hit my credit card. I will NEVER use VRBO again. These were charges by VRBO - NOT the owner of the property.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed here last year and looked forward to returning this summer. We noticed a few changes such as more kitchen cabinets locked but most disappointing was the fact that the bedroom closets were also locked. We also rented the golf cart last year and again this year. I'm pretty sure it was not the same golf cart as last year and seemed at times to slow down or not accelerate when wanting it to. The dining chairs need some help. The bottoms of some are falling out. Other than that, we love the home, the space and the convenience to the beach.

We loved our time spent in Navarre and at the house. It was perfect for our group with a well stocked kitchen and beach toys/chairs. We would love to be able to come back again soon.

The check in process was simple and easy. The location is perfect for a great spot on the beach, which is not as crowded as the beach further down with an awesome access point that is super close to the house. The house was very spacious for our large party of 10 with two children included. We loved the large table in the dinning area for family meals and there is a wide selection of cookware in the kitchen. The master shower and beds are super comfortable. Loved the bunk beds which added additional sleeping arrangements. We can’t wait to come back and stay!

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful home. It was super clean and so well stocked with anything you would ever want! Our kiddos loved the bunk room and all the beds were comfortable. Location was great and loved that we could also go to the sound side for calmer waters. The only downside was the pool was closed the entire time we were there and the pool was the main reason we chose this home.

Property was gorgeous and had views of sound! Tons of space with bunk bed room and so many bathrooms for everyone! Love the main floor master and ease to pool and beach. Many, many water toys that owner allows you to use!

We rented the golf cart and that was a great way to zip back and forth. House was beautiful and immaculate with every kitchen gadget you need if you choose to cook. We would not hesitate to book again.

Gorgeous home that fits the pictures/description perfectly. All rooms were very spacious and large enough for two adults and the kids LOVED their bunkbed room. easy to get to the beaches that are close to walk to but it helps to have a vehicle or rent the golf cart for the larger beach around the corner to haul your gear. definitely would recommend this home to others

Very comfortable well equipped home. Loved that every bedroom had its own bathroom. Had 9 adults and two kids and plenty of room. Could have had more kitchen towels and wash clothes. Loved the extra refrigerator in the garage. Loved the extra beach chairs, wagons and beach towels. Outdoor steps needs better lighting and are VERY slippery when wet. Would recommend putting a traction strip on the steps. Has two people fall on the steps during the week. Overall this was a great home and would recommend anyone to stay here

10/10

10 of our family enjoyed this beautiful home - 6 adults and 4 children. With 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms there was plenty of space for all. Having close access to both the bayside and gulf beaches was really convenient. I would recommend renting the golf cart as the beautiful Gulf of Mexico beaches are about 0.4 miles away.

The property manager was very helpful leading up to our vacation and through our entire stay. When we arrived, we were very pleased with the location. The house was very spacious with ample room for our party of 12. The color and decor in the house make it feel like a luxury vacation. Kitchen is well stocked but not overstocked. We still had plenty of room for what we brought. There is a large pantry as well as 2 refrigerators (1 downstairs in the garage). We couldn't get the Icemakers to work. Would have been nice to have but we managed. The bedding and furniture were comfortable. The kids enjoyed the bunk room. The neighborhood was quiet with the community pool and hot tub just down the street. The bay was a short walk. The beach on that side isn't much but the water is shallow enough that the kids can play without worrying too much. The paddleboards were a bonus on the bay. The gulf is about a 4 block walk. Its more than we wanted with 6 kids and beach gear in tow, however, we rented the 4 seater golf cart and had no problem with the distance. We just made a few trips to get everyone and everything to the beach and back. The golf cart actually gave us something extra to do and was enjoyed. Thank you for the opportunity to enjoy the rental. We definitely recommend it.
