There is a maximum of 2 cars allowed under the carport. There are two public parking spaces on the way to the dock area that are first come first serve. There is also a public parking lot located directly next to our property/within walking distance. This is a rule we cannot bend as your car might get towed or ticketed as has been done in the past.

A bit disappointed
Not stocked well compared to other condos I have rented in the past. I could manage with that. The worst was after waiting 10 minutes after the check in time for the cleaning lady to leave, we go in and find a not so well cleaned condo. The master bath had soap scum and hair in the shower, the coffee pot had not been cleaned under the basket in a very long time and the sofa couch, when we lifted the cushions to check out the mattress was awful. We didn't even open it to use it, so dirty. There were 8 forks, 5 of which were small salad forks so I had to purchase plastic silverware. The beach umbrella was ripped and unusable. I did not contact the owner because he would not answer my first email regarding if we could go in even though the cleaning lady was still there. I just dealt with it. The hand mixer was broken and the blender was old and greasy feeling, so didn't use that. The slider door to the balcony was very difficult to open. I got the overall feeling that as long as no one complained, no changes had been made to the place in a very long time. When we left on our last day, we were instructed to text that we were leaving. The owner's response was a thumbs up...no thank you or hope you had a good stay. Just a thumbs up. It gave us a place to stay for the week but I will go back to the other condos we have rented in the past for the same comparable price and space.

It was not cleaned properly…we had to clean it to stay in it. Smh. Thats all I’m going to say. For that amount I didn’t expect to have to deal with mold or having to clean. Extremely disappointed. I just want to put this bad experience behind me…lesson learned.

We all loved this location! Perfect size for our family vacay - outside hammocks and bikes was a huge plus for us. Only thing I will comment is they need more towels. We had 8 people for a week and only 3 or 4 towels. Definitely not a deal breaker. We all still had a blast!

Family Vacay
Perfect place to stay with the grandsons. They enjoyed fishing on the dock at night and early morning. Bunk beds were great! Plenty of room for 4 adults and the two grandsons. Kitchen extremely well stocked with all pots, pans, dishes and serving pieces. Nice patio area for grilling and relaxing. Two sets of steep stairs were a bit much getting the luggage inside but overall an awesome place!

Great condo, great location!
We really enjoyed our stay at this condo. We love the dock. Our boys are big fisherman and although they did not have too much luck this week, they did catch some and had fun. We love how close the condo is to the restaurants of Navarre Beach with the actual beach right across the street. Sunsets are better on the sound side and we're amazing. Thanks for a great week!

Nice little place.
Arrival and check in were a breeze. Cute little place and good location. Do not recommend if you have an issue with climbing stairs though as there are two, rather steep, sets of them. All bedding was clean an updated. Good sized bathrooms. Had a small-ish issue with the outlets in the bathrooms not working but that was solved by an easy breaker flip. Also, the hair dryer did not work in the master bath but that was a minor problem that I’m sure will be handled. Just be sure and bring your own in case. Also, bring or purchase your own laundry detergent as there was none. Again, a minor thing but every other VRBO I’ve stayed in usually has some for you to use. All in all, I would recommend this condo to anyone and there’s a good chance that we will return.

Clean property and great amenities! Proximity to beach is fine for adults .. a little bit of a stretch for little legs but a wagon/cart would help with that easy! This unit is very close to the pool which our kids loved! Overall a great townhome and vacation! 👍🏻

Christmas Vaca Stay
We stayed here while visiting family for Christmas. This property is in a great location - right over the Navarre Beach Bridge and across from the beach - we walked over to the beach every day and also made a visit to the Sea Turtle Rehabilitation Center. The property owner was very responsive to any issues we had. The place is due for a little upkeep, but it had everything we needed for our stay.

Family vacation June 19, 2021
Very nice property. Plenty of room for our group of 7. Decent location with short walk to beach. The pier and beach area for the sound was a nice addition. Wish weather would have been better but still had a great time and great memories. Only negative I have is the addition of the high rise condos on the beach. It had been a few years since we had been here. The small sleepy town feel is fading fast with these additions and the added traffic. Still a nice place with the state park close by though.
