In this case the house was truly an exact match to the photos and what you could've expected. This house honestly made it harder for me to want to wanna stay on the gulf side in the future again, its overrated! This home was amazing, comfortable, private, clean, HUGE, bright, fun. Having your own private little beach to the bay was the best. Waking up early and seeing the water look like silk was amazing. Dolphins cross by the docks early in the morning I got the chance to be floating when one passed close to me :) The home offered kayaks, floats, chairs, bicycles, two refrigerators downstairs for when you are outside, we used everything this house couldve offered. Our kids enjoyed being able to wake up and immediately be able to get in the water and play, not having to worry about the roughness of water, or flags, or anything of the sort. Hanging out on the dock at night listening to music was awesome. Sunsets are indescribable. I can't say enough about this house...the actual beach on the gulf side is a short walk away, you get to walk past the pretty neighborhood, cross the street, and you're there, but, out of the 4 days we were there , we went to the beach ONCE, we just wanted to stay at the house! it honestly doesn't even compare to staying at a condo in a high rise, at all. Im not sure if we will return to Navarre but if we do , I'll be looking for this house again.
