Beautiful Gulf-front location
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.

Did not disappoint!
We enjoyed our stay very much! This townhouse is amazing and it’s proximity to the water can’t 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.

Perfect Location
Great experience with property management. Quick response to a small maintenance request. The townhouse was wonderfully stocked. Nicely decorated. Perfectly located. The boardwalk to the beach was right outside the 2nd level doors. The walls are well insulated because we did not ever hear our neighbors. We stayed in the third townhouse of four. Very quiet. The elevator was a very nice touch. The two sets of washers and dryers , one on the first level and the second set on the third level was very useful. All in all it was a fantastic place to stay. The view was beautiful.

Awesome rental!
The townhome was awesome and included a lot of extra touches that were appreciated, such as the swing faucet by the stove to fill pasta pans and luxurious showers! I also enjoyed cooking on the outdoor griddle. We also loved the free-standing freezer in the kitchen and the additional downstairs suite. The only thing that could have been improved was minor; we had a large group and there were few utensils for cooking for large crowds and few glasses for alcoholic beverages (wine/champagne glasses) . I purchased a stock pot for pasta, champagne and wine glasses and left them as we will be looking into availability for next year! Very happy with everything!!!!

Simply georgous
Here with a party of 13. Six adults and 7 kids under 8. Loved this unit. Highly recommend. The elevator...thank goodness. Was well utilized. Just an overall beautiful condo. Loved our separate space on 1st floor. Beach access and view just breathtaking. I will definately return. Well pleased.

Great dog-friendly place to stay on the beach
This is beach front. Even though the walkway is shared with all units, it is very quiet even with huge families staying next door. The beach has beautiful powdery sand, but the shore is angled, so no great for long walks on the beach. The water is clear and warm. The elevator is amazing for your dog and groceries. Be careful with the auto-locking doors. It is easy to get locked out. The room with a kitchen on the first floor is nice and spacious. It has its own fridge, coffeemaker, washer/dryer and seating area. It had a wall mount ac, so it never gets real cold. On the main level, the kitchen is well equipped with plenty of dishes, pots, pans, etc (could use more coffee cups). There are 2 ovens and a stand alone freezer. The coffee maker is a drip, not a keurig. Instacart delivers from Publix there. The couch is comfy, but bring sheets to cover it if your dog sheds because it is not leather. The dining room has 11 seats but it is a little tight if you have a big group. The internet is great at this place. I worked all week and my husband streamed TV. Also, the house was super clean and management company was very communicative.

Couldn't have been better.. Good communication with staff at all times.
I had requested maybe a little earlier check in because of traveling a long distance with one member suffering from cancer and chemo. They honored that, plus everything was as advertised and more.

Great place to stay!
This place was right on the beach. It was very nice place to stay and I would stay there again matter of fact we stayed an extra night. Had a few issues with the elevator but nothing that was hard to fix. Other than that, enjoyed our stay!!

Perfect location - Perfect stay
Filled this house up with family & friends for our son's 30th birthday party bash. Lots of great kitchen space for cooking and lots of space to chill and hang out. Can not beat the views of the wonderful beach and sunset either!

beach with family and friends
The property was nice in size. Although, it felt a little cramped in the dining room area with 10 people all making dinner and hanging out. The couch was amazing and fit everyone! Loved the pier going straight to the beach- perfect! Elevator was a huge plus for groceries and going to the bottom floor. Overall, we had a great time and would stay again! Thanks so much

Great Family
This townhouse is really nice and great for a large group. Property Owners went the extra step in providing several beach chairs and extra umbrellas. My family really enjoyed the elevator inside the home taking luggage and groceries to each floor. Even though this townhome is connected to other townhouses you don’t hear the other groups staying next to you. Highly recommend this property!!!

Great week at the beach!
This townhouse was exactly as previewed by owner pictures. Location and easy access to the gulf was perfect for multi-generational family members. 3 levels, multiple sleeping arrangements and 4 full bathrooms helped the week be a BIG success. We would definitely recommend.
