The house was perfect. It was very clean and well stocked with all of your needs. There were beach chairs, umbrellas, and other supplies to take down to the beach. The beach was right out your back door. Would stay here again!!!

Wonderful house with an amazing view! Super clean and updated. I feel like the description doesn’t do it justice. The elevator was not listed in amenities, so after booking, it was a pleasant surprise when I reread the description. We also had use of beach chairs and umbrellas. It was absolutely perfect!

Absolutely Fabulous

This was the best beach house we have ever stayed at! The location is perfect, right on the beach! The house has everything you need. We had kids and there were tons of beach toys for them to play with! It was super clean, hosts were very responsive, and very spacious! The house is huge and gives everyone space. Would love to stay again!

Time to recharge and be together as a family

We enjoyed our time so much at this home we have already booked our trip for next year! This home is extremely well maintained and fully stocked with anything we needed (including a Keurig!). The room set up worked great for our large family of 5 and everyone had their own space. The location right on the gulf was beautiful, we can’t wait to come back!

AMAZING AND WONDERFUL!!

My wife and I had a short getaway here and LOVED every second. The house was so wonderfully appointed and convenient that we really saw no reason to go elsewhere for fun or sight seeing. Exactly as advertised! Great location and beach access just off the comfortable back deck. Very clean and fully stocked with everything we needed. Simply a great all around beach house that we will definitely return to with the whole family!

Navarre Beach Treasure

Nine of us spent a wonderful long Labor Day holiday weekend at The Drift Away Beach House in Navarre Beach. The house is spectacular - it's very new and right on the beach. The rooms are spacious and well furnished. The kitchen is the best stocked I have even had at a beach rental. And Kristina was a fabulous hostess. I highly recommend a stay at Drift Away - it's our favorite of all of the many places we've stayed on a beach.

Gorgeous and Peaceful

Lovely place for a family to gather and relax! The home is so beautiful and thoughtfully laid out. Plenty of space for us and our grown children and spouses. The location is both quiet yet convenient to the markets and restaurants. The beach is stunning. The elevator was a godsend for a son that cannot handle stairs. The home exceeded our expectations!!

FANTASTIC

Can't say enough about how spectacular this stay was for my family. The house itself is beautifully maintained, spacious and clean. It is steps from the beach . Kristina was attentive and very helpful. Will rent again for sure. If you are looking for a modern, clean, new, beach stay-this home is it. 5 stars.
