Best family vacation ever!

We absolutely loved our stay! Plenty of room. Perfect for our group of 8 and our stay was great! The kids loved access to the beach and kayaks. Beds were comfortable. Love the quietness of the area. We would rate it 100 stars if we could!

There was no one on each side so it was extremely quiet, which I really like. The convenience to anything I wanted was excellent. I'd stay again....

Perfect Family Vacation spot!

This our second time staying at this lovely house! Our boys live fishing off the dock , and we had amazing sunsets , even dolphins chasing fish just a few feet away! The house was the perfect size. Also I Love the short walk to Tom Thumb and the pier.

Perfect Vacation

This is by far the best place we’ve ever stayed. The location a PERFECT and the townhome had everything we needed. We spent more time on the sound than the gulf. Water on the sound side was calm and perfect. Plus, it’s literally right outside your back door. The area is quiet and calm with a relaxing atmosphere. We can’t wait to go back!

Condo w/ amazing views!

Clean and roomy. A great condo located in Navarre. Great owner and close to everything. We had a wonderful stay and this condo is located in the prefect place. Wonderful beaches and entertainment within walking distance. Grocery store is only a couple mile drive. Destin is only 20 mins away for more great beaches. Glenda was amazing. We will be back.

Wonderful vacation

Condo location was perfect. Everything was as described. We enjoyed the pool and fishing from the dock. This is a small quiet complex. The only downfall was some of the neighbors who live here full time were not so friendly. Other than that, everything was great.

Great location, everything you need.

Spacious unit, great balcony, movie-sized modern TV, well equipped for outdoor activities and we loved the dock access and the nearby pier. Tranquil sections of Gulf beaches best accessed by 2 minute car ride (easy parking).

Amazing trip

My family and I really enjoyed our stay in Navarre, the area is great, and the property was perfect. Clean, comfortable, and a great location. Plenty of room for the 5 of us and I highly recommend staying here. You have your own little beach to use or you can walk to the main beach.

Best family vaca

My husband and I took our four children, ages ranging from 7 to 19 and the house was very accommodating for all of us. The extra room in the basement was a bonus, so all of our kids have their own room! The house was very well stocked and very clean. Would most definitely stay again!

Fantastic week!

The best part of this stay was the location. We loved the quick walk or ride to the beach, but had a great time relaxing in the sound which was steps out our door. The ocean toys and kayaks were fun to have provided, and the pool was very convenient. The area was quiet and the place was large enough to house us all comfortably. We will be back!

Great condo and location

This was our 2nd stay at this condo and once again we were so happy with everything. The condo is located in a great place and has everything you need. We had 3 teenagers and 1 pre-teen staying with us and they enjoyed everything, being close to the bay and the ocean are what makes this place incredible. The amenities are just as they are listed and you will have everything you need plus a beautiful view of the sunset every night.

Wow that view!

This property sits perfectly located so the master bdrm views the bay and at sunrise and sunset it's a beautiful scene right from your bed. The owner(s) have done a great job thinking of the little things - ice packs, beach toys, first aid, beach towels, etc (all the things we forget about on vacation). Location is furnished well and spacious, we will definitely go here again.!!

Convenient & Comfy & Clean

This is a well maintained, very clean, very spacious property with the kindest owner. The pool is just off the back deck and the boat slip as well. The beach is a walk across the street. Quiet neighborhood and a quick drive to Pensacola or Destin. There are some interior steps but we didn’t mind.

Just Perfect

The property was just perfect for our family. What really made the trip special was the extra items that allowed us to truly enjoy the island experience both sound sides and beach side (bikes, boogy boards, sand toys, float mat, etc.) along with the luxury of having the condo fully equipped which made it feel like a home away from home.

Buena Vida #15

Great location, just a couple of blocks to beach and out the back door to pool and bay. Townhome had lots of beach toys and beach equipment. Bikes, paddle board, and child size kayak were a hit! Thanks, Glenda for a great week.
