We had a great Vacation and this home was great! Location to beach, sound and pool was awesome! Beautiful home with everything you need for a great vacation.
The house was absolutely wonderful for our setup. We had 7 adults and two kids, and never did you feel crowded at any point. Everything from the house to the beach to the weather was absolute perfect family vacay!
This house was wonderful! It was incredibly organized and thoughtfully designed, making it the perfect place to enjoy Navarre Beach. The location was convenient, and the home offered plenty of family-friendly spaces that made our stay extra comfortable. The host was fantastic—very easy to communicate with and always quick to respond. We would definitely love to come back!
This home was very clean and had everything you needed. It was like a home away from home. The host was so nice and answered any questions we had throughout our stay. You won’t regret staying here.
The home was nicely decorated; looked just like photos! The host was very responsive! The home was perfectly located near the beach. I only gave them a 4 because there were not enough towels available; bring your own.
This is a great place to stay with your family! Everything is included, just pack your clothes and come. We run at the golf cart, which made it so easy to get to the beach and took afternoon stroll on the beach by the sound Nina was an excellent hostess, and answered all of our questions promptly if we’re ever in the area again will certainly rent this property again
The home was very nice. The air was out upon our arrival, but the host responed quickly, got us 2 window units and compensated us for the inconvenience. There could've been a few more towels provided. Overall the whole family enjoyed their stay.
This rental was in the perfect location and so much fun for our family! The house was very spacious for our large group and the biggest plus was each bedroom having a bathroom. The owner Nina was very easy to communicate with and very kind!
We loved the property and location! The communication and the attention to detail made the trip soooo much more relaxing.10 out 10 would recommend!! See ya next year.
My Girl Scout Troop stayed and had a great time. The home was very clean and luxurious. The rooms and closets were spacious. Everything we needed was in the home and well stocked. The owner Nina was available to answer any of my questions I had about the home while there so this was helpful. I would stay there again.
Our family had a fantastic time during this trip. The house was clean and had everything we needed plus some things not offered by other places. Owner was extremely helpful and very responsive. Recommend this house to any family!!!
Having bay and beach access is the best! We spoke with other guests on the beach who envied our location. This property is very well appointed with amenities that most rental properties don't even consider. It's big, it's nicely decorated, the property owners are so kind and attentive. We'll be back!
We loved this house. It was beautiful and spacious and our kids loved the outdoor space. We used the golf cart so beach access was super easy.
So many extras are included that are such a nice touch.
Nina always responded quickly and checking in was the easiest of anywhere I have ever stayed!
Would definitely recommend!
This property was exactly as described and perfect for our family trip to Navarre. The golf cart was such a helpful addition for easy transport to and from the beach, especially with kids. Communication from the property manager was excellent. We had one rainy day during the week and the house is set up well for an entire family to still enjoy a day indoors.
