Family beach vacation.
We loved the neighborhood! Everyone was very friendly. We enjoyed the bicycles and golf cart. The mattresses need to be upgraded but that was our only complaint. The property manager was prompt and professional. I would stay here again.

Nice but a little cramped
We really enjoyed our stay at this property with the exception of the construction right next door (noise daily). The other thing was there was not enough dished for the six of us and I was constantly washing silverware at each meal, which was really aggravating. Otherwise it was great and we were very grateful for the golf cart and bikes which we used every day and the downstairs area was amazing for the kiddos. The beds were exceptionally comfortable for all. The back bedroom we wished had a TV for those guests but otherwise those were our only wishes. We love the quiet neighborhood which was great for walking and biking and has the most gorgeous sunsets! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us and we would love to stay again!

Excellent stay
We have been vacationing in Navarre for over 10 years and have watched it grow, but it’s always maintained its classy and relaxed profile.We stayed this year for New Years and it did not disappoint. The house is awesome. All of the essentials are there and a quick golf-cart ride to locations is easy. The house was clean, fun, and ready to accommodate. We loved the ping pong and basketball games. The second floor was a really nice plus for our daughter and husband. The TV is huge! We watched a few bowl games and it was awesome. Recommend highly!

Overall, nice house
Overall this is a nice house and location. The house smelled clean upon arriving but there was a lot of sand on all 3 stair case entries, which unfortunately brought sand inside the home.
but the floors were very sandy and there was dog hair throughout the home. We were able to bring our small dog who is hypoallergenic, but I guess I wasn't expecting to see fur balls randomly and stuck to the 2 rugs they had entering the home.
It was virtually impossible to keep the sand from coming inside due to the outdoor shower being located in the back of the property.
We had to use towels to try and keep the sand from entering There is a small water spigot to the left of the garage door, but there was no hose attached to be able to wash off beach toys, sandy chairs, etc.

House is perfect location. Right in the middle of the Sound and the Beach. Golf cart made it very easy to get to public beach access only 3 blocks away. Beautiful view of the sound from front porch. Railing fans would be a nice addition to the front porch. View will be lost when empty lot across from the house gets a house built. Three of us paddle boarded every day. Had to walk a block down to a nice sandy entry because entry across the street was not accessible. Very rocky with a large drop off. This was not a big deal but the kayak is quite heavy. Still very nice to have use of the kayak as well. Beach is beautiful with the whitest softest sand! Lovely stay! Running low on some glasses and serving dishes for a group of 8. Otherwise well stocked kitchen.
Let it be known, this is not an actual VRBO. It is rented thru iTrip and they want you to make the second payment directly to them rather than thru VRBO. This made me very nervous especially because they asked me to set up an account. I declined and asked them to charge the card on file. I prefer to do all communication and payment thru VRBO. I did ask VRBO if this was a real company asking me to pay them directly and they said yes. They said “It is one of our trusted partners.” Not sure what that actually means. Otherwise a perfect rental for a group of adults!

Wonderful location
The stay was wonderful. The location was perfect. I took a trip with my 70 year old father who faces many health problems and daughter. This house brought life back into him. It reminded him of where he lived as a chld in newyork right on the ocean. If you want to make memories this property is the right one for you. You will make all the memories to last a life time.
