Family Fun

This house lacked for nothing, Amenities galore! I would definitely recommend you rent a golf cart as it is a hike to the beach with all the gear needed for a fun day. The community pool was small but that’s not what we come to the beach for. We would definitely rent this home again.

Great house, plenty of beds for all and the children loved the bunks. Living space large enough for all and well equipped kitchen. Walking to Bay side of property was a hit and we rented the golf carts for a quick ride to the Gulf and restaurants. Loved everything about this place, highly recommend it.

Great Stay for a Girl's Trip!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great girl's weekend with ample space for everyone! Everything was neat and clean. The kitchen was fully stocked with a toaster, muffin tins, and a blender. The only recommendation was to ensure the "starter roll" of paper towels is new. Our starter towel was 3/4 used and thankfully I brought a new roll. Also there was no starter trash can liner for the kitchen, but we used the trash bags we brought.

Super Nice Rental for MultiFamily Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home is located in a nice gated neighborhood. The moment we walked in, we were happy with the cleanness and layout of the home. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need to cook or grill with, and there is plenty of seating to hang out. We came with a family of 4 and appreciated that each bedroom had its own full bathroom. It had 2 refrigerators (kitchen and garage), so plenty of food storage for large groups. The home is close enough to the beach where it is about a 10 min walk. We didn't use the community pool, since we had the whole ocean to swim in. The owner was super responsive to all of our needs, so we will keep this place in our back pocket for when we return.

This house is amazing! It is the most well appointed house we have ever rented. The furniture and decor are very pretty. It has everything you could ever need. The kitchen has plenty of pots, pans, cooking appliances, cutlery, plates, cups and more. Every room is spacious with plenty of extra pillows and blankets. The bunk room is so cool. Big built in bunks that our grandchildren loved. The master bedroom is very pretty and the master bath is beautiful. The garage contains so many things! Extra bikes, beach wagons, beach toys (so many beach toys), extra refrigerator, paddle boards and a kayak. An absolute hidden gem is found at the end of the cul de sac in a beach access to the sound side. As you walk down the walkway and round the corner you are greeted by a beautiful beach area. It was truly gorgeous. Going out of the complex and crossing the road a short way is the gulf side beach access. The pool and hot tub are also good.Our local family joined us one evening for dinner and there was plenty of room for everyone. We are delighted to have found this wonderful house and will definitely stay here again. Thank you Bay Side Retreat for providing such a great house and taking the time to thoughtfully stock your home with everything anyone could possibly need.

Family Beach Trip

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First, last and middle - we love the property management team (Navarre Sands Rentals-NSR). We have rented from them for several years now in this same development and area and have had stellar service.That being said, this particular home was not the best experience. The AC struggled continually, even at a moderate setting (75) both upstairs and down. Refrigerator icemaker did not work, and garage fridge was not working when we arrived (it did eventually start cooling). The unit was well outfitted and even had some things I was not expecting and the laundry room is a dream!The bunk room was perfect for one young family with us and it was nice for each bedroom to have a bath. And again, NSR responded immediately and helpfully to any issue we had. I just don't think we would book this unit again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location and amenities of this rental is perfect. We had everything available to us as described. The house is beautiful and clean. We were so close to the ocean and also the sound. We spent a lot of time between the two as well as at the pool. There are so many things to do within short travel distances. There is a wonderful playground and splash pad just before you leave Navarre to come across the causeway to Navarre Beach. We loved Harbor Village and took the kids on the Buccaneer Pirate Adventure. We had a blast at Lagunas in Pensacola. Mini golf and shopping are close. Had such a terrific time! Will return and book this rental again!

Family friendly quiet beach stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our group of 3 moms and 7 boys loved this stay. The space was perfect for us, and the kids enjoyed the bunk room. The living and Dino’s area were comfortable. It is elevated, so you need to be able to climb the flight of stairs into the home. The houses are in a line on the cup de sac and many are homeowners, which gives it a neighborhood feel. In that regard , it is a quiet area. Probably not ideal for a rowdy group. The proximity to the back bay is wonderful, and there is a really nice little beach there which offers a beautiful sunset and swimming without the wave action. The national seashore is minutes away on foot and the beach is a quick hop across the street. We walked , but there is parking if you have a load of stuff or little ones. The swimming pool was close and clean. The staff was very responsive and polite. They were very easy to communicate with over text message. We have been taking this trip for 6 years, and we all voted this home our best stay.

Between the Bay and the Beach

We had never stayed by the bay and this was a fantastic first experience. A short walk to the bay and we enjoyed putting our lawn chairs in the water and cooling off - be sure to look for the walkway, the sand is so fine it is difficult to walk. When we wanted a change, the beach was just a few blocks away and there are public parking areas so you can drive or use a golf cart. The house was equipped with everything we could possibly need, plenty of room for three families to spread out and the manager was very responsive to any questions. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Our group of 11 had a wonderful time & couldn't get over how beautiful the house is. We were very close to what seemed like a bay which was came waters that the little & adults enjoyed the most of. We were also not far from the bigger beach. We will definitely plan another visit to Navarre Beach & hopefully be able to rent this house again.

Beautiful house, great location, get a golf cart!

This house is fantastic. We had three small families with younger kids and a grandparent and everybody slept comfortably. Living room nice, kitchen nicer than what we have in our homes. Gated neighborhood was nice and really good for the kids and the neighbors were all friendly. The walk to the sound/bay was very easy and it was good for kids, however the beach was a solid three blocks away. Walkable but too much with kids and toys. It made the golf cart we rented super important and strongly strongly strongly recommended!

Won't use VRBO again

VRBO charged me $411 just to book this property. That is a ridiculous amount of money. I was unaware of these charges before they hit my credit card. I will NEVER use VRBO again. These were charges by VRBO - NOT the owner of the property.
