The house was absolutely wonderful for our setup. We had 7 adults and two kids, and never did you feel crowded at any point. Everything from the house to the beach to the weather was absolute perfect family vacay!
This is a great place to stay with your family! Everything is included, just pack your clothes and come. We run at the golf cart, which made it so easy to get to the beach and took afternoon stroll on the beach by the sound Nina was an excellent hostess, and answered all of our questions promptly if we’re ever in the area again will certainly rent this property again
We loved the property and location! The communication and the attention to detail made the trip soooo much more relaxing.10 out 10 would recommend!! See ya next year.
My Girl Scout Troop stayed and had a great time. The home was very clean and luxurious. The rooms and closets were spacious. Everything we needed was in the home and well stocked. The owner Nina was available to answer any of my questions I had about the home while there so this was helpful. I would stay there again.
Our family had a fantastic time during this trip. The house was clean and had everything we needed plus some things not offered by other places. Owner was extremely helpful and very responsive. Recommend this house to any family!!!
Having bay and beach access is the best! We spoke with other guests on the beach who envied our location. This property is very well appointed with amenities that most rental properties don't even consider. It's big, it's nicely decorated, the property owners are so kind and attentive. We'll be back!
We loved this house. It was beautiful and spacious and our kids loved the outdoor space. We used the golf cart so beach access was super easy.
So many extras are included that are such a nice touch.
Nina always responded quickly and checking in was the easiest of anywhere I have ever stayed!
Would definitely recommend!
This property was exactly as described and perfect for our family trip to Navarre. The golf cart was such a helpful addition for easy transport to and from the beach, especially with kids. Communication from the property manager was excellent. We had one rainy day during the week and the house is set up well for an entire family to still enjoy a day indoors.
We would recommend to anyone. We often had coffee on the deck in the mornings, played cornhole in the mornings, used the golf cart to get to the beach. Beds were very comfortable. Had plenty of room for people to play games, each bedroom has a TV but we were too busy to watch anything but a few football games. Had a fire in the fire ring one night. There are 4 beach chairs, a shell scoop, 8 beach towels, 2 wake boards. Very clean. Nina was prompt when we had questions. 15 minutes from Navarre with lots of options for groceries, great places to eat. 30 minutes from Pensacola. We had a great time.
I can not say enough about our stay. Our visit was what you expect but often do not recieve in a VRBO. Everything was clean, the home was very well stocked, and Nina was in full communication when needed. The view from the porch in the morning provides a beautiful sunrise. The walk to the beach is very convenient but the golfcart came in handy when wanting to go farther down. Especially with the kids. We would 100% book again!!
This house was amazing! The bedrooms were a great size and each had its own on suite bathroom which was wonderful! The decor was simply delightful, well maintained and VERY clean. The extra amenities were a bonus as well, tons of toys for kiddos, beach chairs and umbrellas if you need them, and the fire pit was fabulous to sit by each night. The location of the house was great too as you could walk over to the Sound and enjoy a pretty beach area there or the gulf beach was just down the street with ample parking. I'd recommend renting the golf cart they offer, it was a real bonus as well and fun to drive on the island. You can't go wrong with this house!
We loved our stay at this property in Navarre Beach. It was our first time visiting the area, as we wanted to avoid the Spring Break crowds in 30A—mission accomplished!The beach was uncrowded, with plenty of space to relax, and the Starfish property was perfect for our needs. We shared it with another family, and it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. While the walk to the Gulf-side beach was a bit longer since we chose not to rent the golf cart, the bay-side beach was much closer and a great spot for morning and evening walks.The host was fantastic—very responsive and helpful whenever we needed information. One of the highlights was the backyard area with a firepit, which was a unique and enjoyable feature we hadn’t experienced before in a Vrbo beach rental.We would absolutely recommend this property and Navarre Beach as a whole. 30A is great, but if you want a true beach getaway—where you don’t have to wake up at 6 AM just to claim a spot on the sand—Navarre Beach is the place to be!
Girl’s trip for aunts and cousins. The house was plenty roomy for our group of 6 and with lots of bathrooms. So much privacy, and the rooms were large and comfortable.
What a kitchen!! We ended our trip with a big crab/shrimp boil, and everything we could ever need was available.
The only issue we encountered was the distance from the house to the beach access, complicated by one guest’s need for handicap accommodations. However, there’s a golf cart available for rent, and the pool is steps away and is awesome. The gated community is quiet and peaceful. Mattresses are super comfortable, as well.
Our hosts were easily contacted and very responsive.
Everything about this listing is so accurate. The home is extremely beautiful, in a great location for a more quiet beach experience yet close enough for groceries, dining out and shopping. Any questions we had were answered in a timely manner. The beds are so comfortable and everyone having their bathroom was very nice. The kitchen is very well appointed with everything you would need for dinners in. The fire pit area is relaxing especially after a long day on the beach or out sightseeing and shopping. The attention to detail were an added touch, such as shampoo, hand soap, extra toilet paper, laundry detergent, etc. the extra things you either bring with you or purchase when you arrive. Our group is already making plans to come stay again and hopefully a little longer!
Thank You again for sharing your beautiful home with us.
We had a great Vacation and this home was great! Location to beach, sound and pool was awesome! Beautiful home with everything you need for a great vacation.
This house was wonderful! It was incredibly organized and thoughtfully designed, making it the perfect place to enjoy Navarre Beach. The location was convenient, and the home offered plenty of family-friendly spaces that made our stay extra comfortable. The host was fantastic—very easy to communicate with and always quick to respond. We would definitely love to come back!
This home was very clean and had everything you needed. It was like a home away from home. The host was so nice and answered any questions we had throughout our stay. You won’t regret staying here.
The home was nicely decorated; looked just like photos! The host was very responsive! The home was perfectly located near the beach. I only gave them a 4 because there were not enough towels available; bring your own.
