Navarre Beach Vacation

We really enjoyed our stay. Melanie provided a beautifully decorated and well equipped cottage, with lots of special touches. It was a great getaway from our home in Texas, and offered us rest and relaxation after time at the beach and other activities. Excellent host and stay!

Beautiful and immaculate

Our stay at the Cozy Cottage was perfect. We walked in and was pleasantly surprised! Everything was as described (which isn't always the case). It looked like it was brand new. The entire cottage was spotless! The owner was quick to reply to texts and very kind. Would highly recommend!!

Peaceful, super clean and comfy:)

My stay at the cottage was perfect. The cottage was everything I hoped for and far more! Well designed with comfort in mind, every detail was well-planned. From the spacious bedroom, to the laundry/bathroom, and well organized kitchen, nothing was lacking. The sheets were soft and cozy, there was abundant closet storage and soft, plentiful bath linens. The A/C was awesome:) Best of all was the peaceful environment. A beautiful magnolia tree shaded the back patio table every morning, a beautiful place to begin and end each day. Great restaurants, the beach, and grocery shopping are all within a 10 minute drive. Hope to visit again and meet Melanie in person! The cottage provided great value, a lovely environment, and I highly recommend it!

Perfect!

This was my first time in Navarre, Florida and it was beautiful. The neighborhood was peaceful only about 5-10 from the beach or shopping! The outside patio area was very cute and not a lot of traffic in the evening-night time. Everything was clean cozy & it made me feel at home. 10/10 would stay again!

Perfect for a Getaway

This property was just the right space for our beach getaway for two people. Everything was as listed, and Melanie had several amenities that just made the stay convenient. So easy of a process and so convenient in fact, we never had to contact her. We loved it so much we were taking about staying again before we even left. We ❤️ the Sandcastle Retreat!

Great for couples!

We were very happy with the cottage! Quite neighborhood, very clean, tastefully decorated, comfortable bed, nice patio area to enjoy the evening breeze and a glass of wine. The full sized washer and dryer were new and made it possible for us to launder our clothes each day. The owners went the extra mile to think of details that made our trip more comfortable. Extra paper products, washing pods, dishwashing liquid, coffee, and more! Thank you! We will be back!
