Kraken Reach - Newly Renovated Luxury Retreat, 3 Min Walk to Beach

# Kraken Reach | Luxury Navarre Beach Retreat with 360° Water Views

Welcome to Kraken Reach, a newly renovated luxury beach house offering 360-degree water views of both the Gulf of Mexico and Santa Rosa Sound.

Perched high on stilts in one of the most desirable locations on Navarre Beach, Kraken Reach delivers an experience that few properties can match. Wake up to stunning sunrises over the Sound, spend the day enjoying sugar-white sand and emerald waters, and end your evening watching one of Navarre's famous sunsets—all without ever leaving home.

Unlike many Florida beach destinations, Navarre Beach remains one of the Gulf Coast's best-kept secrets. With only a single hotel on the island and miles of protected shoreline, guests enjoy uncrowded beaches, crystal-clear water, and a laid-back coastal atmosphere that has become increasingly rare along the Emerald Coast.

Recently and completely renovated from top to bottom, Kraken Reach combines elevated coastal luxury with the relaxed charm of island living.

## The Ultimate Primary Retreat

The entire top floor is dedicated to a private owner's suite designed to feel like your own boutique coastal spa retreat.

Enjoy water views all around, a private balcony overlooking Santa Rosa Sound, and a spa-inspired ensuite bath featuring:

• Standalone soaking tub

• Oversized glass walk-in shower

• Custom tile work

• Natural river rock accents

• Private water closet

Whether you're starting your day with coffee on the balcony or unwinding after sunset, this private retreat offers the perfect escape.

## Luxury Living & Gathering Spaces

The main level was designed for connection, comfort, and entertaining.

The open-concept living room, dining room, and kitchen create a bright, welcoming space where family and friends can gather after a day at the beach.

The dining area features a custom locally crafted live-edge table, the kitchen boasts an oversized island with seating for 4, and the living room is furnished with premium pieces from Restoration Hardware and Arhaus, bringing upscale comfort to every corner of the home.

Large windows throughout showcase the surrounding water views and fill the home with natural light.

## Sleeping Arrangements

### Upstairs Primary Suite

• King bed

• Private balcony

• Spa-inspired ensuite bathroom

• Water views all around

### Main Floor King Bedroom

• King bed

• Dresser storage

• Large closet

### Custom Bunk Room

• Twin-over-twin built-in bunk

• Twin-over-queen built-in bunk

Perfect for children, teens, adults, or mixed family groups.

## The Best of Both Beaches

One of Kraken Reach's most unique advantages is its location between two incredible waterfront experiences.

The calm waters of Santa Rosa Sound are just a short walk away and are ideal for families with young children, paddleboarding, kayaking, swimming, and floating. Even when red flags are flying along the Gulf, the Sound often remains calm, shallow, and family-friendly.

The Gulf-side beach is equally close and offers easy access to Navarre Beach's world-famous sugar-white sand and emerald-green waters. Spend your days shell hunting, swimming, fishing, sunbathing, or simply enjoying one of the least crowded beaches in Florida.

Excellent stay for three mommas and three teenage girls. We decided that this rental had the most comfortable couch and beds over any we have stayed at. Great communication and easy check out list. We highly recommend!

Wonderful getaway

The house was great. Very spacious and comfortable. Loved the pictures throughout the house. Beach access was within walking distance. Only suggestion I have is for there to be a way to hose off the beach equipment after a day at the beach.

Awesome Beach House

This beautiful house was very spacious, clean and had all the furnishing/amenities needed for our stay. Short walk to the beach access and in close proximity to grocery stores, restaurants, and fun local activities. While there, we were able to take the family fishing at the Navarre Pier and Jet skiiing with just a short drive down the street. The owner was very nice and responsive to my question and inquiries. This house would accommodate two small families perfectly. My only wish is to have more than 2 bathrooms 😀

Beautiful location

Beautiful location. My family and I enjoyed our stay but, the maintenance/cleaning service did not clean the house properly. We found expired food and condiments in the fridge and pantry. When checking out we thought we followed everything per the house rules but instead of piling our wet shower towels in the floor we placed them on the dryer. The host’s cleaning service then lead the host to believe we wrecked the unit by the horrible smell of vomit being left in the towels which was not true at all. Luckily we took pictures, The host and I were able to work out this misunderstanding.

About the host

Hosted by Lyle Richardson

Host profile image
Kraken Reach is much more than a vacation rental to our family—it's home.

Our dad built this house and spent many years enjoying the incredible beauty, sunsets, and peaceful lifestyle that make Navarre Beach so special. Some of our favorite family memories were made here, and after his passing, we knew we wanted to preserve what he created while giving the home new life for future generations.

We recently completed a major renovation, thoughtfully updating the home while maintaining the character and spirit that made it such a beloved place for our family. Every improvement was made with the hope that guests can create memories here that are just as meaningful as ours.

We fell in love with Navarre Beach because it remains one of Florida's last truly relaxed beach communities—uncrowded beaches, stunning water, breathtaking sunsets, and a slower pace that helps you reconnect with the people who matter most.

As hosts, our goal is simple: to provide a beautiful, comfortable place where families and friends can gather, unwind, and experience the magic of Navarre Beach for themselves.

We hope you'll love Kraken Reach as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because it captures everything we love about Navarre Beach.

Unlike many Florida beach destinations that have become crowded and heavily developed, Navarre still feels peaceful, relaxed, and authentic. With only one hotel on the island and miles of protected shoreline, it's a place where you can truly slow down, unwind, and enjoy the natural beauty of the Emerald Coast.

One of the things we love most about Kraken Reach is its unique location between the Gulf of Mexico and Santa Rosa Sound. The home's elevated design provides 360° water views, allowing you to enjoy both sunrise and sunset from the property. Whether you're sipping coffee on the balcony as the sun rises over the Sound or watching the sky light up over the Gulf in the evening, the views never get old.

The neighborhood is quiet, family-friendly, and incredibly walkable. Within just a few minutes, you can be relaxing on the sugar-white sands of the Gulf or enjoying the calm, shallow waters of the Sound. It's the perfect balance of convenience and tranquility.

For us, Navarre Beach represents what a beach vacation should feel like—uncrowded beaches, beautiful water, spectacular sunsets, and plenty of space to make lasting memories with the people you love.

What makes this property unique

What truly sets Kraken Reach apart is the combination of its location, views, and thoughtful design.

Few homes on Navarre Beach can offer the 360° water views you'll experience here. Perched high on stilts between the Gulf of Mexico and Santa Rosa Sound, Kraken Reach allows guests to enjoy both breathtaking sunrises and Navarre's famous sunsets without ever leaving the property. The panoramic views create a sense of peace and connection to the water that is difficult to find anywhere else on the island.

The home itself has also been completely renovated, blending luxury finishes with comfortable coastal living. From the private top-floor primary retreat and spa-inspired bathroom to the custom live-edge dining table and designer furnishings from Restoration Hardware and Arhaus, every detail was selected to create an elevated guest experience.

We also love that guests can easily enjoy two completely different beach experiences. The Gulf beach offers Navarre's famous sugar-white sand and emerald water, while the nearby Sound provides calm, shallow waters that are perfect for families, paddleboarding, kayaking, and swimming.

Most importantly, Kraken Reach is a family home with a story. Built by our father and lovingly renovated by our family, it has been a place where generations have gathered, celebrated, and created lasting memories. We are honored to share it with guests and hope it becomes part of their family's story as well.
