Great stay for the family!The place was very clean and tidy. Sunsets were gorgeous. Great location!We only saw a couple of bugs but they were just as we were leaving. Would have liked a bike pump for the bikes, but we never messaged anyone about that so not a big deal. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Pros** very clean, comfortable and spacious! Loved the closeness of the pool and bay side! Cons** too many flights of stairs, required to wash the dishes and towels before the we left after paying a cleaning fee, pool/beach equipment not in good shape but did keep us from having to buy chairs , also had to replace boogie board as it was broke in half and bycicle tires were flat so couldn't ride them. Overall experience was great!

We had a fabulous stay at this property. Glenda was a very responsive and attentive host. We had a few minor issues/questions and she was very prompt in responding. Access to the property was easy. Great location. Fantastic views. Spacious townhouse. Would be great for two couples, three individuals (each will have a bedroom) or family with kids. Comfortable king bed in the primary bedroom (only one we used). Sunset views from the dock were incredible. We will definitely plan to stay here again.

This townhome was great for our stay in Navarre Beach. The price was very reasonable. We loved the extras of kayaks, paddle boards, and other beach gear! Perfect for a relaxing vacation that we were looking for.Glenda was great with answering all my questions and making accommodations for us.My only complaint was that the pool was down for maintenance as we had specifically looked for a place with a pool. However, this was not Glenda's fault. She didn't know about it ahead of time. We ended spending our time on the beach anyway and greatly enjoyed our stay.

The host was very friendly with communications and was very helpful to us when our flight got delayed. The home was in a great location as it was close to the pier for fishing, restaurants within walking distance. the beach right across the street. They also have a beach right on the property. A boat dock and pool we did not swim as it was December but would be great. The home had beautiful views and accommodated us with space. We enjoyed quiet time then had grandchildren over for the weekend to celebrate Christmas. Would recommend and will be staying again in the future.

We absolutely enjoyed staying here. Short drive to the beach and very short walk to the pool and pier. I have never stayed in a place that had a garage and that was a very nice accommodation dealing with sand!

The outdoor spaces are awesome and the paddleboard and kayaks and beach chairs were such an added value. Men had a good week fishing on the little private pier and playing in the sound. We went to the gulf side beach too. The rental itself is dated and a little dirty because of old carpet, tile in bathrooms, and popcorn ceilings. Carpet is pulling off the stairs. The kitchen was well-equipped but small. Cracked flooring in the kitchen. Decor was tasteful. Master bedroom was lovely but bathrooms left something to be desired. Black mold in the grout lines on the ceiling in the shower. Lights flickered and some didn’t work. Linens were adequate but the sheets on one queen bed had old elastic and wouldn’t stay on the bed—would have been a deal-breaker for me but my adult son didn’t care too much. Beds were comfortable. A/C worked well and there were plenty of fans. I wish I didn’t have to wash the towels and put them away before leaving. Also dishes.If you’re an active family who would enjoying biking, kayaking and fishing and paddle boarding, this could be a good rental for you. As the only woman in the party, I felt the master bath was a let down—wonky layout but especially the black stuff in the grout— but my boys and husband loved the outdoor spaces so much it’s hard to complain too much. The owner was very responsive. There was no toaster but it was delivered immediately along with a bike pump which we actually used several times. The rental is very well equipped!

We love staying here! This condo is beautiful and has a great view from the deck and windows. The grandchildren loved fishing from the dock and catching minnows in the sound (bay). The men loved taking out the kayaks that were provided with this unit. Glenda is a wonderful host!
