The condo was beautiful, clean, large with lovely, upscale beach decor and furnishings. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need to cook a full meal. The laundry room was great for storage of beach items and the washer and dryer worked well, PLUS a beach buggy to carry everything to the beach (huge help), plus some extra floats. The beds were very comfortable and the water pressure was great. The condo building has a Community room on first floor with a pulley-type exercise machine and cardio machines, and another perk is the bike room, specifically for bikes. Loved that, as biking in Navarre is easy. The Patio deck in the condo was very nice, and over looked the (unheated) pool and beach, the pier, plus a portion of the inlet and causeway. The whole condo building and area is kept up very nicely. Sue, the owner was very easy to rent from.

This was our first trip to Navarre and the white soft sand and blue green water were beautiful. MY Personal Recommendations: Definitely take a short drive (3 miles or so) west to the non-developed area. There is a parking lot there, and walk that area of the beach. We found a huge amount of beautiful, intact shells; gorgeous area!! There were two restaurants on the "island" so we ate at them often. I recommend Juana's Pagoda (http://juanaspagodas.com/) for a limited menu and drinks (right before causeway), but it is right there for volleyball, calm water area, renting jet skis and paddle boards, bikes, and more. Service, by most, at restaurant was very good. LoggerHeads (http://lagerheadsonthegulf.com/) is the restaurant on the beach next to the pier. Good menu and helpful service. They also have volleyball, etc. Pier Life gift shop (http://www.thepierlife.com/fishing-piers/florida/navarre-pier/) where you pay to get on the Pier, and have bait (though not when we were there). If you decide to fish and need gear, there is a good Walmart on the mainland about 7 miles east. TONS of fishing gear, and cheap. Oh, and TC's on the mainland just west of causeway, about a mile or so, is GREAT hole in the wall. Great selection of food, even really great wings. Definitely give them a try.

The sunsets were great. The trip was great, and honestly, a very easy drive from Atlanta. Made it home to north side of Atlanta in 5.5 hours!! This is a great place for family trip, calm area, relaxation. (additional hint: bring extra tp, papertowels, laundry soap, dish and dishwasher soap, and hair dryer). Enjoy!!
