Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It needed to be stocked better. No beach towels. No tissues. One roll of toilet paper per bathroom. A wine frig and no corkscrew. We purchased one. No spices of any kind. These things are items found in a rental normally. Otherwise, a very nice condo.

This was a very nice condo and beautiful beach - the people were very nice however the price given was not in fact the full amount. They increased it by 400.when they debuted my account and they charged each person a fee to use the pool. I would have selected another option if I had know that when pricing where to stay.

Great Condo

We used to live in Navarre beach. Came for a last minute trip and so glad this unit was available. This Condo was great with fantastic views of the Gulf and quick/easy access to the beach. Clean and beutiful decor and comfortable beds. Only complaints were not being able to access the outdoor closet with the extra beach chairs and beach toys, but the condo came with set-up of two chairs and umbrella so our girls just sat on towels. Internet was also out so we couldnt watch shows at night via our apps or take care of work-related stuff quickly, but we werent there for work ;) However, I will say our property manager, Elizabeth, was phenomonal and did everrythibg she could to assist us and make it an enjoyable visit.
