Situated perfectly on Navarre Beach, the grounds are very well groomed and maintained. Condo is located near the end of Navarre Beach, tucked away on the sound and away from the noise and traffic. Here you can enjoy the peace and calm as you sit by the dock or on the beach to watch a gorgeous evening sunset. The gulf side beach is 500 feet from your door. Condo is within a short walk to local eateries, kayak, scooter, pontoon boat & paddle board rentals.

GREAT RESTAURANTS
There are several nice restaurants nearby. On the island we have Windjammers Pier Bar (Enjoy amazing views from the Navarre Pier and local brews!), Andy D's, Juanas Pagoda Grill (Waterfront bar & grill with lots of entertainment, live music, beach volleyball & pool), Sailors Grill (Low-key spot serving American food & cocktails for breakfast & beyond in a casual, beachfront setting), and the Beach House Bar and Grill (Gulf-front dining, handcrafted cocktails, fresh gulf-to-table seafood).

In Navarre along Rt. 98, you may enjoy other restaurants such as Dewey Destins Seafood, JJ Chagos, TCs Front Porch, East Bay Crab House. and Dave's Oyster Bar. Stripes restaurant (veteran owned and located in the Publix parking lot). Other great restaurants such as Flounders, Grand Marlin, Peg Leg Pete’s, & other dining options may be found at Pensacola Beach. Just follow Rt. 399 West along the Gulf Islands National Seashore, a spectacular drive along the white sandy beaches & emerald waters.

GROCERIES & Coffee Shops
Walmart Super Center, Publix, Aldi and Winn Dixie are grocery options in Navarre. Great coffee shops are Deb's (drive through). Andy D's (on the island) and Starbucks.

BRING YOUR KAYAK - Rent/bring a kayak to paddle around in the sound and tie it up at the condo or at Juanas while having a quick bite to eat.

BICYCLE - Bring along your bicycle to explore around the beach. Biking is also great if you choose to ride up to Opal Beach along the Gulf Island National Seashore (absolutely breathtaking views). It is a 7-mile bike ride in a safe lane that allows you to breathe in all the sights, sounds, and magnificence of the sea! You can also ride all the way on the bike trail to Pensacola Beach!

THE PIER AT SUNSET HARBOR PALMS - If you fish, be sure to bring along your fishing pole and fish right from the dock, provided exclusively for guests at Sunset Harbor. Fish of many varieties are found here including redfish, speckled trout, and mackerel.

NAVARRE BEACH PIER - Want that bigger fish? Go to the Navarre Beach Pier where from sunrise to sunset you can fish all day! Great catches may be pompano, flounder, blackfin tuna, cobia, tarpon, king and Spanish mackerel. The pier is 1534 feet long and 30 feet above the water. Rent a fishing pole at the bait and tackle shop or just enjoy the stroll along the pier or the breeze at the pier restaurant.

DEEP SEA EXCURSIONS - For the ultimate fishing experience, schedule an all-day deep sea fishing charter in nearby Destin or Pensacola, complete with a captain who knows all the right fishing spots!

BOATING/PADDLEBOARDING - You can launch from the public launch beside Juana’s grill on the lower end of Navarre Beach. There is a large trailer parking area at the public boat launch.

CASINOS - Good Time Tours (a charter bus company) conducts daily trips to Biloxi, MS area casinos with departures daily from Navarre Beach. Buses pick you up early at Winn Dixie (just across Navarre Beach causeway bridge) each day Sunday through Saturday and return later in evening.

SEA TURTLE CONSERVANCY - We love our sea turtles at Navarre Beach! Kids and adults alike may want to checkout the nearby Sea Turtle Conservancy to learn about these remarkable creatures and meet Sweet Pea, a juvenile green turtle who was found wrapped in fishing gear both inside and out and badly injured. Sweet Pea has since settled into her new home and is rehabilitating from the trauma causing her to lose a front flipper. You may notice the low mounted lights along the beach. Most lighting has been converted to have sea turtle friendly fixtures and low light bulbs. That is because nesting season mostly occurs at night and when hatchlings emerge, they can scurry down the beach to the sea without being disoriented by bright lights.

SANTA ROSA SOUND - On our magnificent Santa Rosa sound you can paddle board, kayak, boat, jet ski, fish, and wind surf! (rentals available nearby). The sound is especially nice if you want to simply wade or allow small children to play in the water without large waves. Find your favorite spot along the long, pristine stretch of beaches on both sides of the Gulf Shore National Seashore.

HISTORIC FORTS - Along the Gulf Islands National Seashore there are unique places to visit and explore! Aside from the miles of white beaches you will find three historic fortifications spanning centuries of sea coastal defensive systems at Fort Barrancas. Hike along the historic routes used by soldiers while stationed at the forts. Historic Fort Pickens, one of the largest brick forts built in the United States, provided the setting for a serious effort by a small group of men to avert or at least postpone the outbreak of the Civil War. The Naval Live Oaks Area includes 7.5 miles of hiking trails and the fully accessible 0.8 mile Brackenridge Nature Trail directly behind park headquarters.

PENSACOLA - Take a drive to Pensacola for other great restaurants and historic sites! Explore historic Seville Square with morning brunches and great jazz! This historic section of Pensacola is filled with great night life and beautiful historic structures.

BLUE ANGELS! - Visit the nearby Naval Air Station and you may be lucky enough to see the Blue Angels on a practice run! The Blue Angels do their spectacular final air show in Pensacola on Veterans Day, November 11. There are other air shows throughout the year. The US Air Force has 2 bases in the area: Hurlburt Field and Eglin. You may spot an occasional Osprey CV-22 or military helicopter on training flight.

NATIONAL NAVAL AVIATION MUSEUM - Take an amazing day trip to The National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, one of the most-visited museums in the state of Florida. See more than 150 beautifully restored aircraft representing Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard Aviation. These historic and one-of-a-kind aircraft are displayed both inside the Museum’s over 350,000 square feet of exhibit space and outside on its 37-acre grounds. Fly in one of their full motion simulators or see The Magic of Flight, their own Laser Powered Giant Screen Digital Theater film projected on a seven-story high screen and feel like you’ve had a bona fide ride with the Blue Angels. While there, enjoy a delicious lunch at the authentic Cubi Bar Café, decorated with more than 1,000 squadron and unit plaques reassembled from the historic Officers’ Club at Cubi Point in the Philippines.

THE GULF BREEZE ZOO - The Gulf Coast Area’s award-winning Gulf Breeze Zoo is home to more than 900 native and exotic animals. The Zoo offers many animal encounters and kid’s activities. Ride through herds of free ranging animals on the Safari Express train to view hippos, rhinos, gorillas and African antelope up close! Feed giraffes & enjoy the free-flight bird aviary.

Poet John Masefield wrote, “I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied.”

Millions of visitors are drawn to the Gulf islands in the panhandle of Florida (northern Gulf of Mexico) for the long stretch of beaches, the sparkling emerald waters, or a place to simply relax! We're waiting on you!

Best of both
This charming studio condo was the perfect getaway for me and my husband. The view from the window was the Santa Rosa sound. The beach was a two minute walk. Both side absolutely gorgeous! The sunsets were nothing short of amazing!! The beach was the whitest and stretches on for miles of National Preserve and the water clear as a bell. Also the bungalow was fully stocked with everything you could want! Will definitely return.

Amazing Location
If you want tranquility this is the location. It is located close to restaurants, beach and attractions, We enjoyed the beautiful sunsets all week long. The fishing pier at night offered a prime location to enjoy the cool summer evening temperatures. The condo had everything we needed to enjoy meals when we didn’t want to go out to dinner. Very clean! We plan to return!!

Loved the quiet, peaceful studio condo on the bay. I know it can’t be changed but the only thing we didn’t like was the trek to the pool past the other buildings. The pool was great, once we got to it. Carla was a great host and had all the extras for a fun trip.

Bittersweet
The property and room were beautiful, clean, and exactly as described. Unfortunately, it was on the second floor, and with the elevator broken the entire 5 day stay it made it difficult to enjoy with my limited mobility. I had to limit my daily activities and felt the pain from all the stair climbing. I know it wasn’t the homeowners fault, but wanted to make it no one it was very difficult.

Girls trip with my bestie
My bestie of more than 40 years and I went to the Extraordinary Women Conference in Pensacola. We wanted to stay on Navarre, and found this gem! Yes, there is only one bed, but we are more like sisters so that really didn’t bother us much. The location was perfect. When she says she has everything stocked, she means it! All the coffee, sunscreen, Q-Tips, cotton balls, full size body wash and shampoo. We already have tickets to next years conference and hope the condo is available for that weekend! We would love to stay there again!

I have nothing but praise for our mother/daughter trip. The condo was beautiful and well supplied with everything. Carla, our host, answered promptly to any message I sent. The beach is a short walk away and Navarre is beautiful and quiet. We loved being away from the crowds and traffic. You are only a short drive away from great restaurants and attractions.

About the host

Hosted by Romantic Vacations

Host profile image
We have lived many places but discovered beautiful Navarre Beach a few years ago while visiting our military son. We found it to be just perfect! We are originally from West Virginia where my husband served as Mayor of our community for almost 20 years. We have also lived and worked in North Carolina for many years. My husband is a Senior Tax Advisor and I enjoy meeting and accommodating guests who travel to our historic Guest House (VRBO 1495848) and family farm retreat (VRBO 1496506). In the meantime, we love visiting our children and grandchildren who live in West Virginia, North Carolina and Florida.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I purchased this condo in 2018 and simply love it. We found the island so private and not commercialized, not overdone with too many businesses. We also admired the many beautiful homes and very well maintained and monitored beaches. We were lucky when we were able to purchase a condo at Sunset Harbor Palms because it simply had everything we were hoping for and all in one place! We loved that it was tucked away at the end of Navarre Beach where it is not too crowded or noisy and away from all the traffic. We were hooked when we discovered we could watch the evening sunset every day from our window and go fishing anytime we wanted in our own back yard! We love going out and walking on the beaches anytime day or night knowing it is safe. Navarre Beach is exactly what we were looking for and more! We are happy that we can share our little piece of paradise with others.

What makes this property unique

Sunset Harbor Palms condominiums have extra enjoyment without extra expense! Guests have access to a private fishing pier and a gazebo to enjoy a quiet dinner or family gathering! The grounds at Sunset Harbor Palms are well-groomed and well maintained with beautiful green lawns and lush palm trees. It is easy to find your private spot on the quiet beach of Santa Rosa Sound. You can bring your boat or kayak and dock it right outside the condo complex. The complex is safe, well-lit, with a large parking lot and elevators. The fishing pier and large pool are private to residents and guests of Sunset Harbor Palms. The beach is on both sides of this property. The Santa Rosa Sound is found on the back side and a few footsteps away and across the street is the beautiful Gulf of Mexico shores. There is a paved pedestrian path for walking or biking all the way to Pensacola Beach (about 7 miles). You can stop and enjoy the beach all the way along this route on both sides of Gulf Shores National Seashore!
