The house was great with more than enough room, good appliances, and a great pool with a view of the gulf. The host is friendly and helpful. Navarre and Navarre Beach are beautiful, easy to get around, and everything was close and not overcrowded.
Smooth experience from start to finish. Owner awesome to work with. No issues at all. HUGE house, amazing location, impeccably kept. BEST house on the beach!! Second stay at this location, anticipate more visits.
Big, nope... HUGE House. Right on the beach. Beautiful natural lighting and the pool deck makes it hard to decide to go to the beach or stay at the house.
We enjoyed our stay (plenty of room for 10)the beautiful beach views from the balconies are amazing and perfect for relaxing
Having a bathroom for each bedroom was the best for after the beach . Everyone had a place to get ready for our evening outings.
We never had any issues with the house everything was perfect. The host is amazing and so kind . Thank you for an amazing vacation :)
Had a great week. Loved the location and the house. A few minor issues with the house but the owner was very quick to respond and had the issues taken care of promptly. Canât wait to return!
We have been doing 3 generation family vacations for a number of years and this was the best; in part to the beautiful home and in part to the area of Navarre. It is much more laidback and not as crowded. We didn't have to compete for a place on the beach as you do in other places. Might be less convenient activities that places like Destin have, but a much more relaxing area for sure. The home is spacious, well laid out and comfortable. The little pool was perfect for the little ones and plenty of room on the deck to watch the kids and the adults relaxing to the nice gulf breezes and views. Highly recommend!!
The house was beautiful. It was describe exactly as it looked in reality. The house was equipped with all the things we needed. Beds were very comfortable and kitchen was adequate in space and what was in it. Location was good to places in Navarre and area was quiet. A lot of space under the house for activities. It had a nice view of the beach but that is my one complaint. It would have been nicer if the porch railings were designed differently to see the beach better. Maybe have the deck open to the boardwalk so the view wasn't obstructed by the railings.
Everything was just as advertised. We had 17 people and it never felt crowded. Beautiful home and the location was perfect. So many beautiful photo opportunities outside and in!
We did receive a rather extensive list of rules just prior to arrival, but most were just common sense. Our property contact was extremely responsive.
Have been âbeachingâ my whole life and finally found the perfect place. I have no words or enough stars to give this gorgeous home, view and exceptional care from the owner. Highly recommend .

My family and I stayed at this beautiful house on our spring break...it is a very lovely home with all the amenities one could ask for, the only issue we had is that there was not an exit or boardwalk to the beach... We had to walk around the house to get to the beach, but that was really no big deal ( except for carrying all the stuff through the sand). Otherwise this is a vacation home to come back to every year!!! The owner was especially helpful with our needs and we had everything we needed. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to rent a fabulous home on the Gulf in Navarre :)
Just returned from our stay at the Bellisimo house in Navarre and I cannot say enough good things. First and foremost, location. We were looking for beach front and it does not get better than this. The gulf is right there. The close proximity and wonderful boardwalk made it so convenient to go back and forth to the beach. With many little kids on our trip, this easy access was important. We were so close to the beach we felt comfortable letting the kids go back and forth on their own. We didn't spend a ton of time inside because it was so beautiful outside, but the house was immaculate, comfortable and the view was extraordinary. The set up of the rooms made accommodating 19 people no problem. The pool was a wonderful amenity and the set up of the pool deck provided the perfect amount of shade but a beautiful view of the sky at night. The owner was extremely responsive to all my questions before and during our stay and seemed genuinely concerned that we were enjoying ourselves. I would recommend this house to anyone headed to the gulf coast.
We expected more for the money we paid
2nd flr bathroom tub had leaky jets going onto clothes in closet
Other bathtub leaked onto people sleeping in bedroom underneath
Roof leaked water into 2nd flr window
Outdoor pool furniture were dry rotted
Multiple Bathroom fixtures leaked
Had to be careful around pool deck composite was replaced with regular wood which splintered.The door to Room with bunk beds which occupied 2 kids couldnât be closed due to beds not fitting in room with washer and dryer
Outdoor water spigots leaked
Also tag on second floor kitchen stating you didnât pay for second kitchen donât use so 12 people shared a refrigerator and stove
1st of all, the location of this house is perfect! Navarre Beach is a quieter beach but still close to restaurants, etc. It was a short walk down a private boardwalk to the beach. There were a couple odd things about the stay. The pool was a nice addition, it was small (which we knew) but the steps to get in the pool were very slick (there is no handrail or textured steps), we had 3 people fall getting into the pool slipping on the steps (no one hurt, but just be careful).
There were VERY basic items when we arrived. That is typical to only have a "starter pack" but, this was VERY minimal. There was no dish soap, no shampoo or conditioner and no hair dryer. If you have everyone flying in, be aware, there are no beach towels, no beach chairs or beach items provided. . . at all. We did check on this ahead of time, so we were aware and part of our party drove, so we brought them. I'm sure there are places that you could rent chairs, but just something to be aware of. We stay at VRBOs often and it is hit or miss on how well stocked they are, but I've never seen anything as bare minimum as this (now I will note the kitchen items were plentiful, lots of dishes, pots, pans, etc.)
The owner was responsive. The air conditioner upstairs stopped working mid week. We contacted the owner, but a repairman couldn't come until the next morning. Made it VERY hard to sleep, but it was taken care of. The house is showing some wear, but the location makes up for it!
Gas Leak, No Hot Water, Home needs Major Repairs - Owner is not concerned about your vacation
Please notice-only one favorable review in 2015. I wish we had noticed this before we booked with owner. Our troubles started upon arrival when we opened home for the first time and were met with a terrible/foul smell. We contacted owner immediately who downplayed our complaint and said that no one had complained before. After the handy man arrived he let us know that the first floor had received water numerous times but the foam insulation had never smelled this foul indicating this was a known, reoccurring problem. We had to leave doors open so we would not choke from smell-even at night. On our third day, we suddenly had zero hot water and the gas stove no longer worked. The gas company arrived and locked the tank due to finding a substantial leak. YES a GAS LEAK! For 4 days we had no hot water for showers and NO stove to cook on. The owner was very insensitive and offered ZERO sympathy and NEVER apologized. He stated we should have purchased Traveler's Insurance and would not compensate us for the numerous inconveniences. We spent so much time on our vacation having to deal with the Handy Man, Gas plumbers and the Gas Company. In total we had 6 repair visits for the home which took many hours away from our vacation. Owner seems very strapped for cash and will probably find a falsified reason to keep our deposit. We took video and multiple pictures of the home as we were leaving for fear of owner blaming damage on us. He is that untrustworthy. While we were dealing with dangerous gas leaks for HIS home he was non-sympathetic to his faulty home ruining our vacation. I would never deal with this individual again and would discourage all other vacationers from renting this property. He said on multiple occasions that "we had a signed agreement" and he owed us nothing. It is a shame that you have to verify the working conditions of things like stoves, hot water, or the smell of home so you will not get burned by a deceptive person. Home is also equipped poorly, internet/wifi (terrible connection), Cable or satellite tv on all TV's (available on 1 of the tv's), simple things like towel hooks to hang bathing suit or towels on, POOL also has been duct taped and patched with odd liner pieces in numerous places. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about our experience or for pics and videos. Routine maintenance is not being performed on the home and is in need of mega upgrades and fixes.
This house was a perfect experience for our group of mixing together 5 households into one home for a week! Everyone had their own space and perfect areas for our together / family/ meal times! The pool area made it perfect for people who donât love the beach (I know can you believe those exist?) as we could see our family on the beach from the pool with our own private beach access! They had everything you could need in the kitchen and a washer and dryer on each floor was perfection! We will be returning to this property for sure!
The location was perfect! The house is very spacious with spectacular views.Our family of 12 had so much room and just a few steps and your on the beach! Absolutely stunning!! Will definitely book again!
The house was awesome, in a great location, clean and the owner is great to work with. When I had questions he asked for me to text him and he was quick to respond.
The home was large enough to accommodate 6 couples, with ample space for privacy and socializing. There was plenty of room for parking 6 cars, allowing all parties to come and go with ease. The kitchen was well appointed and stocked. The location offers easy access to beach, privacy and is in within a reasonable distance from grocery, restaurants and shopping. The Host is responsive, helpful and pleasant. I would definitely stay here again!
