"But there’s that "One Particular Harbor"
So far but yet so near,
I can see the day when my hair’s full gray
And I finally disappear..."
Those lyrics from one of our favorite Jimmy Buffett songs, reminds me that everyone needs a place "to get away to". A shelter from the ordinary rush of life’s demands. Maybe you’ve found that place and have been going to it for years. For those who haven’t or for those who have felt for a long time that their favorite get away has become too crowded, let me introduce you to #705 Navarre Towers on Navarre Beach. Once you cross the Navarre Beach bridge and see the 3 mile stretch of residential beach, you’ll understand how it feels so far away, yet close to the action of the Emerald Coast.
Located between Destin and Pensacola, Navarre Beach has the beautiful white beaches without the crowds. It is only a three mile stretch of beach that sits between the Gulf Islands National Seashore on the west and Eglin Air Force Base land on the east. It is a classic barrier island beach that is still unspoiled by commercial development. While primarily residential, it is less than 30 minutes away to Pensacola or the Fort Walton, Destin area. Even in the high season of summer there is little congestion on the roads yet plenty to do.
With over 300 feet of gulf front and only 84 units, Navarre Towers is one of the least congested condominiums on Navarre Beach.
The condo is direct ocean front on the 7th floor. The unit is a 1360 square foot, two bedroom, two bath floor plan plus balcony. It has nine foot ceilings. The view from the private balcony is spectacular! You will enjoy privacy and breathtaking views of the ocean, beach, and surf. There are 7 residences per floor.
The condo has been professionally decorated and furnished. We decorate in a "beachy elegant" style that captures the beach vacation spirit but has a high quality look and feel to it. This is not just another rental!
The unit has high-speed, wireless internet, so be sure to bring your laptop!
Everything in the condo is upscale!! Carpet in the bedrooms, and beautiful furniture in every room. Very nice decor in every room. Linens, towels, kitchen supplies, electronics are always kept up. The bedrooms are elegant, a little tropical and fun. The living, dining and kitchen areas have a full tiled floor. The walls of the living and dining areas have been done in a textured, Irish mist, faux finish. The living area has 9 foot ceilings, crown moldings and full length, ceiling to floor sliding glass doors that afford spectacular views of the beach and ocean.
The large master bedroom has a king-size bed. The second bedroom also has a king size bed. The living area has a queen sleeper sofa which allows the condo to comfortably sleep six.
We have given great attention to the details, too. There are ample linens, pillows, blankets, kitchen towels, dishes, coat hangers and closet space for everyone. The kitchen has lots of cabinets and is equipped with everything you will need to stay for a week or a month. In addition to the refridgerator and range, you will have a microwave, icemaker, coffee maker, blender, washer, dryer, sharp knives, towels, and dishwasher at your fingertips.
The facility at Navarre Towers is a highly manicured, gated complex. It boasts of a large Gulf front heated pool, two lighted tennis courts and a grilling station by the pool. The beach in front is plentiful, beautiful and pure white! Beach service for chairs and umbrellas is available from spring through fall. Just out the front gate is a jogging/walking path that goes for miles into the National Seashore Conservation area.
We share bookings in this complex with other owners and will coordinate bookings of multiple units. So, bring along family and friends to enjoy this get-a-way together!
This property is an extension of our home in Atlanta and we welcome you as special guests that deserve personal attention. Our goal is to give you an excellent value and to exceed your expectations, as you vacation in this beautiful place.
#705 Navarre Towers that "One Particular Harbor". Beautiful, serene and close to
every thing .... without living in it.

Why the Owner Chose Navarre Towers
I have always loved the Panhandle of Florida and it's beaches. As a high schooler and college student in Louisiana we always went to Pensacola. When the boys were young it was such a joy to continue that tradition with them. As the Panhandle matured over the past 25 years it became very clear what areas were going to maintain their old Florida charm, not get too crowded, yet continue to offer the beautiful beaches and water that we all want to see. To this day, Navarre has been true to those needs.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
Not crowded, even in the summer months compared to anywhere on the Panhandle. Fishing in the sound or beach. Taking the jet skis west in the Santa Rosa Sound to Pensacola Beach and driving them up on the beach for lunch at our favorite restaurant.
2000 feet of uninhabited pure white sand in front and to the East of Navarre Towers where the Holiday Inn use to be before Ivan.

Dear Doug, We had a terrific time! Your condo was just as you described it. As our departure time drew near, my sons (both 15 years old) began to inquire if the condo might be vacant...so we could stay a few more nights...that speaks so well for a vacation! I appreciate your willingness to work with us regarding our schedule, Thanks JoAnn

Doug, Just wanted you to know that we had a great week at Navarre. You were right, Navarre is a special place. Your condo was beautiful and we felt right at home. It was a pleasure to meet you. We hope you keep this condo so we can rent from you again. The way you handled everything made the renting and check-in and out very easy. Could you check your calendar for June and July weeks to see if any are available? If available, send me the cost for a week. Thanks again for everything and may God richly bless and prosper you.

Hi Doug, Just a quick email to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay on Navarre Beach. What a beautiful place. I truly found it to be one of the best Florida beaches I have ever been on. I loved the simplicity of the island as well--nothing to distract from the wonder of that huge ocean out there. Your condo was great. Our family loved it and have asked if we can go back next year. We are hoping to be able to do that but only time will tell. It was so nice to meet you and your son, Kyle. Thanks for taking the time to come by and chat with us. We hope your week there was as memory filled and enjoyable as ours. The best to you and your family, Donna Hellwege

Doug, the vacation went way too fast. We enjoyed our vacation very very much. Your condo was like a home away from home with all the amenities we needed. When we left we decided that we would definitely keep your condo and Navarre Beach high on our list. Of the beaches we have visited we found Navarre most relaxing, quiet, clean and the people staying at the units were very friendly and it was more a family oriented area with lots of young children. There was plenty to see off the beach as well. Thanks again for all that was provided to make our stay most comfortable and enjoyable. I will be recommending your condo to those beach loving friends of mine! Teresa Nance

Doug, Just a quick note to tell you how wonderful our vacation was. The condo was just perfect for our family, it felt like we were at home. The beach was beautiful, we spent every single day out there playing in the waves and playing in the sand. We were blessed with perfect weather....sunny and warm every day. My husband and I love the hot weather so we were in heaven. I just can't say enough good things about it. I also want to thank you for you prompt attention to my questions, and your professionalism in handling everything. I had a good feeling from the start of our communications and glad everything went so well. You made it very easy. Thanks again for providing a wonderful location to give my family one of the best vacations we've ever had. My children are already begging to go back next year, which I'm hoping we can. Hope you and your family have a Happy Easter weekend. Lynn Schmidt
