Hadnât vacationed with the whole family in the area in a long time. This did wonders for everyoneâs mental health. Neighborhood was peaceful. Had access to everything we needed or wanted within 20 mins. Love the area. Already planning to come back to stay at this very listing! The host was very responsive and made sure to go out of the way to make our stay like it was our own personal home! Thank you again!
The home is beautiful, the pool is great and Blake kept the pool at 90* for us, we could swim even though the temperature was 60*. The fire pit was very nice on our cold evenings. Thank you!
Great choice for our trip to Navarre! House is very spacious and just as described, the yard is fantastic. Great for kids and pups.
House was supplied with everything you need for a great vacation.
Will definitely stay again and highly recommend.
Had a great time staying here. Clean house with nice rooms. Beautiful backyard and pool. Would recommend to other families looking for a vacation spot. Just down the road from the beach.
Everything was great! Perfect for our large family (12 of us) Just as advertised and absolutely gorgeous. Our family had a fabulous time visiting Navarre, the incredible Gulf Coast, and my retired Air Force sister â€ïž this home made our vacation one of our best ever. Our host was excellent! 5 đ đđđđ from our family. Thanks so much!
This house was perfect for our large family! We easily could have stayed on the property, not gone to any parks, and still couldâve had a perfect vacation. The backyard beach was awesome! Blake was very responsive and helpful for any questions we had! Will definitely book here again if/when we come back to this area.
We really enjoyed the night pool lights.We felt like we were at a resort. I would highly recommended this property.Thanks for allowing family gatherings!!!
Blake was very attentive. When we arrived, the property was extremely clean. The backyard was amazing! Will stay here again when visiting area. Highly recommend!
We loved this house for our vacation. The pool/backyard was our favorite part. It is a few minutes drive to the beach but not bad. The kitchen and laundry were well stocked of things we needed.
Kids enjoyed the pool and playing in the sand in the backyard more than the ocean. Ocean was a short drive. Neighborhood was quiet. Property was private. Clean. Blake was quick to respond to my questions. He gave us local reference for dining and entertainment. We had a nice peaceful stay. Would recommend especially for families with children.
We had a wonderful time at Blakeâs place. The home is as beautiful as pictured. You could not ask for a better backyard oasis! The family and dogs enjoyed it so much. The sand volleyball court is a huge plus and something you just donât get at other homes. Plenty of places to go nearby. Quiet neighborhood and easy to find. Definitely recommend!
The property was very clean when we arrived and check in was very easy. The owner was very fast to answer any and all questions we had. The beds were uncomfortable but after telling the owner, he said he has already ordered new mattresses and was happy for the honesty, otherwise he would have never knew. I would recommend staying here, we had a great time here!
I had family staying at a condo directly on the beach and we still found ourselves at this house more! The house was fully equipped with everything we needed. The adults and kids loved the pool (water a little warm but understandable with the crazy warm weather we have had) and size of the yard. Kids even played whiffle ball! Grocery stores, fast food, and restaurants are within 5 minutes but we never wanted to leave so thank God for Door Dash!! We will definitely be back, my family who rented the condo said if I donât rent this house they WILL!!
It can be difficult to be dog parents seeking for a place to stay allowing several pets. Blake was just to make sure we had everything we would need and happy to help us be checked in early. Checking was really easy. About the house itself, I had no problems; it was rather beautiful. Particularly if you have dogs or children, this house is ideal; the backyard is quite beautiful and spacious. It is Florida; the sand in the vollyball court will get hot, but here is a beautiful pool to cool off in. Sitting with my dogs on the ledge was fantastic. The pool was never dirty as the pool people came often. There are several grocery stores close by. Walmart (grocery pickup) is only around 5 minutes away, while Publix and Win-Dixie are probably not much further.Surprisingly, there is a Cefco Gastion nearby which serve excellent Briskcut tacos. I would love to stay here again and I for sure would suggest this place to anyone wanting to stay in this area.
I can honestly say we felt very comfortable staying here. It felt very clean and manager was available through message. He would respond within a few minutes and he was very helpful. We were quite a big group but the owner was able to accommodate us for an extra charge. The kids were very excited that the house had a pool and even a volleyball net. House was also equipped with pots and pans for cooking. Would definitely give more than 5stars if i could. We would definitely book this home again if staying in Navarre.
Very accommodating and responsive host during booking. Check in stressful, had to ask for code and then fix internet (>1hr) which had been down for days. First impression was great, the house is wonderful, well equipped with new appliances We expected a grill and garage full of beach toys (now removed from listing) neither was there. The bunkbed âroomâ is a converted office open to the common area; that did not work at all as planned (young kids w. early bedtimes). It has a TV screen, great for older kids. The futon in there was not clean. Blake sent a cleaning lady over the next morning to address this and a few other areas in an otherwise very clean house.
There were issues with mattresses worn out/ uncomfortable, full size in a queen frame leaving a potentially hazardous gap. Blake did replace the king size bed while we were there. He is very responsive addressing issues that are being brought up and promised a refund. The pool, volleyball court and grassy areas were relaxing, the pool is not heated. I sent pictures of the mismatched mattress/ frame; the worn out outdoor furniture, etc. due to his response no one told me. (Iâm on vacation, it is not my job!) This helped him improve listing accuracy, for which he thanked me. But when I asked re promised refund f.inaccurate listing he got rude; I have still not received it. We enjoyed our stay but dealing with the issues added a layer of stress. A welcome book would have been helpful, issues with turning fan on A/C off
Nice house, Fun backyard, 4 bedrooms not 5, dishonest host
The house is modern, clean and in a decent neighborhood. It is close to everything. The backyard is amazing. The sand and volleyball net were big hits. Had it been summer, the pool would have been a big hit too!
The host is dishonest. We knew going in April the temps would be lower. We messaged the host before reserving and asked specifically about the pool and if it was heated and if a grill was present. We were told yes.
Upon arriving, we checked the pool and it was not heated and it was not even plumbed for a heater. There was no grill or beach toys either. Upon further inspection of the property, we found screws sticking out of the bed frame. We also found an Alexa connected and enabled. The house is only 4 bedrooms and not 5. The fifth bedroom is an open non non-private space connected to the living room with beds.
We messaged the host and made him aware of our concerns. He told us the pool heater was broken. He told us the grill was broken by a past guest and that a Walmart was down the street. After making a bigger stink about all these issues and wanting a refund, we were told they would bring us a portable pool heater, extend our stay by 2 days, fix the screws on the bed and refund $600. We were told someone would come and repair the bed the next day. They never fixed the bed or brought the heater.
The host messaged wanting the Alexa plugged back in. Creepy! He said it controlled the doors and thermostat.
For the price, it should have been perfect!
My family and I booked this rental based on number of rooms and the backyard oasis. Upon arrival we could plainly see that the house had not been cleaned after the prior guests. As we looked closer at the rooms and bathrooms we found a house that was filthy, unsanitary, and unlivable. Just to name a few, the bed linens had not been washed as there was sand on top of the fitted sheets. The bathroom toilets were dirty and found blood/fece spots on the wall. There was hair in the bathroom sinks, and possible mold in the tub. The trash cans had not been emptied and there were bugs in the refrigerator and in a cabinet under the sink. The pool says itâs heated, but was very cold. When we contacted the host to disclose the issues he was not helpful in solving the problem and told us we were making a big deal out of the situation. He did not immediately offer to have someone come to clean the house, but instead told us to clean the house even though there were no cleaning products available nor were there extra linens. Four hours after check in the host finally sent a cleaning woman who did a walk through of the house and she too determined it was filthy and no one should be staying there. I donât think our experience would have been as bad if the host had immediately offered to have someone clean the house instead of becoming defensive and trying to get his own guests who paid way too much for the house in the first place to clean after a 13 hour drive. We ended up taking pictures of the filth and recorded the cleaning lady doing a walk through of the house, then left to stay at a hotel. The host would absolutely not give us a refund even though he did not do his part of the deal which was to provide a clean, livable home on arrival. I would absolutely not recommend staying at this rental. The host is not accommodating to simple requests and does not care about the people he is supposed to be providing a service for.
We had 7 adults, two teens and two dogs and the house was perfect! Big enough to not feel cramped. The pool was my favorite place to spend my day. We played volleyball and had some good laughs. The location to the beach was easy and quick! We had a wonderful time staying at this house and Brian was wonderful, quick to respond to any questions. Would stay here again.
My family and I had an amazing time at this property. The house is spacious enough for all 12 of us and two small dogs. The kids LOVED the pool and volleyball court. Our dogs also had a blast running around and watching the kids swim. We couldnât get the kids out of the pool. We had a couple issues out of our control as well as the owners. One of which was a small issue with the brand new dryer. We contacted the owner and he responded quickly and had someone there the next morning to fix the issue. There was also a small issue with a water line on a neighboring property, also the owner had no knowledge of and that the crews would be digging and had no water for a very brief period of time. Again, out of everyoneâs control but Blake responded very quick and got everything taken care of. Our only complaint, which isnât super serious, was there are no dressers for clothes in the queen size bedrooms. Another thing that was not mentioned in the previous reviews, there are small boxes outside in the backyard that have tiki torch oil, sand toys, pool toys and other items to make the stay more enjoyable for the little ones. Overall a great place to stay. Very convenient to the beach, restaurants, and grocery stores. We are already talking about our trip next year. Would definitely recommend!
