My family has been coming to FL since 1980, renting homes, but in Marco Island until this year. My husband & I took our RV (new) to Navarre last Feb., and loved it. This year was our first family vacation since, and we decided to do Navarre. It was also our first condo experience, and our first on the beach.We had a 3rd floor 3 bedroom, 3 bath condo on the beach, and loved it. It gave all of us (we're all adults) the chance to spend time together, but enjoy our own unique preferences. Lots of privacy, time together, and beautiful scenery.Shelling is different from Marco, but we got better - just make sure you have a net, and go into the surf, scoop, or watch for incoming shells. I did come home with a lot of good ones. The condo is great: only a couple of "complaints". There should be a few more towels, kitchen particularly. Also, there wasn't a decent dish cloth, so doing dishes was difficult. If you stay, there's a good Dollar Tree at the corner where you can get dollar detergent, saran wrap, foil, zip lock bags, etc.
But would definately recommend it!!
