Beach view was great..kitchen is fully stocked with items needed to cook. Layout of the home is nice for large families and the elevator was a plus for older individuals
We had an amazing week! The unit is beautiful and had everything we needed for a wonderful vacation. The elevator was very helpful in getting groceries and luggage into the unit. The rental staff could not have been more helpful. We had a problem with the 2nd floor microwave, I called property management and within a couple of hours a replacement microwave was provided. Very convenient to restaurants, beach, shopping, etc...The beaches of Navarre are ABSOLUTELY STUNNING and very well maintained!
Unit in mid 1980's 4-plex on main drag on Navarre Beach. Showing some signs of age- outdoor furniture not great quality, plastic front of oven had melted off and was taped on. Beach chairs and beach toys were of poor quality and thrown in a pile in garage for us to sort through. Difficult to impossible to park 3 cars legally. Kitchen very well stocked. Indoor furniture in good shape. Elevator works well but is accessed through first level living quarters- privacy issues. Beach is very close and perfect. Remember you are sharing the main outdoor area looking out at water with 3 other units. We had a group of 6 recent college graduates on a graduation trip together two units down. They were very respectful but could have been very challenging. Great to bike along Seashore trail all the way to Pensacola. No real restaurants on that part of the beach so you will have to go over bridge to eat out. All in all a good stay but the 3 couples (siblings, spouses and 90 year old aunt) will likely get a nicer place next time.
Overall our stay was fair⊠The accommodations were as describedâŠNegatives were very uncomfortable and noisy ( mattress springs) beds⊠The kitchen had an oven with a worn out, (taped on) control pad.Value for the cost was not what I anticipated!
This was our first time staying in something besides a condo. We loved it, super easy beach access and a perfect balcony to relax on. We will definitely be back in the future.
Great house, but only comes with "starter" supplies
I recently stayed at this VRBO and was surprised to receive a âwhat to packâ email from management âafter bookingâthat basic necessities like toilet paper, trash bags for the kitchen trashcans, and dishwasher pods for the dishwasher were not included beyond a small starter supply. I believe this information should be disclosed before booking, not after, and when booking VRBOâs in the future, I will prioritize homes where the nightly rate includes these items. These small additions would cost very little compared to the rental price but would make a big difference for guests, particularly those flying in who canât easily bring household items with them. That said, the house itself was greatâcomfortable, well-furnished, and conveniently close to the beach.
Yearly trip to the beach with kids, spouses and grandkids. Debbie missed us so the weeks weather was almost perfect. Accommodations were great with beach front access. Older unit but served the purpose and the elevator was a saving grace as I have recently had knee replacement surgery.
We loved the house. It was perfect for everyone especially the ones that couldn't do stairs. The house furnished with everything we needed. Will definitely go back.
Perfect for the 4 of us. Each bedroom had its own full bath. Good layout. Full, well-stocked kitchen(s). Seemed like it was recently remodeled. Nice furnishings, etc. Great access to the beach. Great view of the water. Elevator was very helpful for a couple guests with mobility issues.
We enjoyed our stay very much! This townhouse is amazing and itâs proximity to the water canât be beat. Everything was very clean, updated and kitchen is well stocked if you choose to cook. Even found a good amount of shells which is not always the case on Navarre. Would definitely return.
