Navigator's Nest! BEACHFRONT DOUBLE TOWNHOME with Huge Deck! Perfect for a large Family!

Reasons Groups Love Navigator's Nest:
• Rare 8-bedroom beachfront home ideal for large gatherings
• Comfortably accommodates 16–24 guests
• Two full kitchens with three full-size refrigerators plus beverage cooler
• Over 2,500 sq ft of beachfront deck space with expansive outdoor wet bar
• Three Gulf-front king suites with private balconies
• Three sets of seasonal beach service included with 6 chairs and 3 umbrellas (March 1–October 31)
• Most affordable 8 bedroom beachfront property in the area

Things to Know:
• Private beach access with part-time security
• Parking for up to 8 mid-size vehicles (double parking permitted)
• No pets allowed per HOA
• No pool on property
• Primary renter must be 25+
• Check-in 4 PM | Check-out 10 AM

Guests enter through a welcoming foyer that opens into the main kitchen and living area, where panoramic Gulf views immediately set the tone. The chef-ready kitchen features granite countertops, stainless appliances, a gas range, two full-size refrigerators, and generous storage. This kitchen is ideal for preparing meals for a crowd. Adjacent dining areas and bar seating allow everyone to gather comfortably for shared meals, celebrations, or relaxed evenings together.
The spacious living area offers plush seating, a large flat-screen TV, and sweeping water views, while multiple deck spaces invite guests outdoors to enjoy sunset skies, coastal breezes, and the rhythm of the waves.
Upstairs, a collection of king suites paired with several with Gulf views, private balconies, and spa-style bathrooms. It will undoubtedly provide restful retreats for couples and parents. Thoughtfully designed bunk rooms offer fun, comfortable spaces for kids and additional guests. Downstairs, a unique covered beachfront entertainment area features dining spaces, bar seating, grills, a hammock, and direct beach access, making it the natural gathering hub of the home.

What truly sets Navigator's Nest apart is its seamless connection to the beach because the sand isn't nearby, it's your backyard. The expansive deck and private ramp allow guests to step effortlessly onto the shore for beach days, sunset dinners, or even intimate beachfront ceremonies (subject to local regulations).

While the shoreline is accessible along the erosion control line per local ordinance, guests seeking additional privacy may extend their beach setup with extra service sets or by placing chairs early each morning.

Navigator's Nest is more than a vacation home. It's your destination for celebrations, reconnection, and once-in-a-lifetime beachfront memories. Homes of this size, flexibility, and direct Gulf access are exceptionally rare along the Emerald Coast.

We had a wonderful stay with family. Hate to complain but important to be honest so issues can be resolved. It was very hot even with several fans in the bedrooms. It was very cool in certain areas but really need more air conditioners or a complete overhaul of the system to make it more comfortable. Also, the light switches were placed in very awkward positions and hard to find. There was plenty of bathrooms but no vents in some of them. No matter what though, the location and the private beach TRUMPS it all! For a week, I can make do with some of the quirks but hope it gets resolved in the future for others. I would recommend for sure!

Our week at Navigator's Nest was amazing! 8 adults and 4 kids and we had plenty of space to spread out or come together for games or a meal. Solely was quick to respond with the few issues we did have and was able to fix it quickly!Everything was explained thoroughly in the description so we were able to come prepared. The location was awesome with quick access to restaurants and stores and beautiful views of the beach. Loved it!

The kitchen had so many items, you do not need to bring a thing. The house was very clean and no matter the time, we could text our host with a question and they would get right back with us. The outdoor kitchen had plenty of seating and even had lounge chairs and the hammock was great and the view was the best. I think you could have in Destin. I highly recommend. Booking.

Liked: Location
This was the perfect place for a multi family vacation. Plenty of rooms and comfortable beds. The location on the beach with the included beach service was the best part. The lower deck was a great place to hang out after a long day in the sun. We appreciated that there were already some beach toys/accessories available to use, including beach towels. Good communication with the host. We had one little issue and they were out the next morning and fixed it no questions asked. We do feel that at this price point some updates could be made, but I’m sure that will all happen with time. We also experienced some items in kitchen cabinets that weren’t clean like other reviews have mentioned. And basic needs such as toilet paper, trash bags and other paper products should be more available for the length of stay that is required for booking. But don’t let any of that detour your stay here! Overall the unit was clean and comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Talks of coming back next year are in the works!

The pictures are a bit misleading. The house is very big and spacious, however, it is two condos that have been combined into one. The layout is sort of a maze. The floor plan is not as open as the pictures lead you to believe. The fourth floor bunk room is in a weird spot, and it has the worst looking carpeted steps leading to it. There’s a spot light in the 4th floor bunk room that turns off and on with the king bedroom primary light right below it on the 3rd floor. The bedrooms were nice, the bathrooms were nice. However, the jetted tubs in the king suites should be completely removed, old and outdated. There were also some minor issues that didn’t necessarily need to be fixed during my stay: garbage disposals in second floor kitchen were nonfunctional. All that being said, my family really did have a great time. The outdoor setup somewhat makes up for the issues I mentioned. It is truly steps to the beach, the views are amazing. I just feel that some updates should definitely be made to this house to make it more functional and enjoyable.

Fantasic place for a big family vaca.

The downstairs kitchen bar and grills made the best and easy place to grill our fish. Get out of the sun and storm. Such a close walk to the water. I felt getting to the beach had never been easier.

This Is What Makes A Family Vacation

The house was excellent for a large family. We spent more time eating in rather than out because of the large porches, bar area, grills, T table and chairs, hamock, other tables and chairs, a few steps and you were in the ocean.

Outstanding location! Beautiful beachfront property. Gorgeous deck. The many bedrooms, bathrooms, two fully equipped kitchens, laundry facilities, spacious indoor and outdoor seating make this a perfect place for a large family gathering. The video game tables were a hit with all age groups. Kayaks and paddle boards provided lots of fun.

Private Beach is AMAZING

The unit is cleaned, plenty of tableware for our large group. It would've been perfect and 5 stars, had their been just a little bit more in terms of a starter pack for paper towels and toilet paper. We had what was left on the rollers. 1 extra roll per bathroom would've been more than enough. These are small things, that guest tend to not think about when traveling. Location and private beach with security is appreciated.

Exceptional Experience!

Our group had a wonderful time staying at the Navigator's Nest, perfectly located on a beautiful part of the beach and within walking distance to great bars and restaurants. The many bedrooms and central living spaces accommodated our sleeping and socializing needs very well, plus the underdeck built-in beach bar was a fun place to hang out. That feature truly is one of a kind. The layout of the unit is interesting, as it's two condos that have been combined. While some updates have been done here and there, it could use an overall refresh and organizing, but that did not get in the way of our group having a great stay. I'd like to give a shout out to Tyler at Solely Beachfront for his supportive service, both in the reservation process and follow ups. We will definitely look to Solely Beachfront again for our beach stays.

We had a wonderful stay at this vacation rental in Destin, FL! The house offered plenty of space, making it perfect for our large group to spread out and relax without ever feeling cramped. Its location was another major highlight — just a short walk to an absolutely beautiful stretch of beach and conveniently close to many of Destin’s best restaurants, shops, and activities. We were also very pleased with the responsiveness from Solely Property Management, who handled our questions and any minor concerns quickly and professionally.That said, there are a few areas for improvement. While comfortable, the house is beginning to show signs of wear and could benefit from some updates and minor repairs. Additionally, during the peak heat of the summer, the A/C seemed to struggle a bit to keep up with our group’s demand. Overall, these drawbacks were minor and did not take away from the great experience we had. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a spacious, well-located home for their Destin getaway!
