Exceptional Experience!

Our group had a wonderful time staying at the Navigator's Nest, perfectly located on a beautiful part of the beach and within walking distance to great bars and restaurants. The many bedrooms and central living spaces accommodated our sleeping and socializing needs very well, plus the underdeck built-in beach bar was a fun place to hang out. That feature truly is one of a kind. The layout of the unit is interesting, as it's two condos that have been combined. While some updates have been done here and there, it could use an overall refresh and organizing, but that did not get in the way of our group having a great stay. I'd like to give a shout out to Tyler at Solely Beachfront for his supportive service, both in the reservation process and follow ups. We will definitely look to Solely Beachfront again for our beach stays.

Great condo!

This is a great condo. Needs some updating and cleaning but overall very roomy and great balcony spaces. Had a small maintenance issue and they took care of it quickly and continued to keep it under control throughout our stay.

This Is What Makes A Family Vacation

The house was excellent for a large family. We spent more time eating in rather than out because of the large porches, bar area, grills, T table and chairs, hamock, other tables and chairs, a few steps and you were in the ocean.

Holiday Vacation

The property manager did an excellent job in communicating with us despite problems we experienced with the heat not working on the bottom floor. They worked diligently in trying to get the issue resolved, to include providing extra blankets and portable heaters to remedy or alleviate the issue.

Great locations but needs some TLC

13 adults, ages 55-88, recently stayed for a week at this place. With some TLC this could be an awesome rental. There is tons of clutter in closets and cabinets. Several broken pantry doors and most of the outdoor toys (kayaks, paddles, chairs, hammock, etc) were broken and unusable. But the outdoor space was unbeatable. We cooked every meal …. the kitchen is small but has all you need ( could use more silverware). The walk to beach is just a few steps and ample parking for cars. The towels and beds were great. We had a good week and loved our stay.

A nice Family Spot with minor issues

This home is amazing for a large family like ours. It has all of the space one would need and the location to shops and grocery stores is an added bonus. The home however needs some TLC, master bedroom bathroom cabinet looks like it has been beaten up. The shower tile needs cleaned - water pressure and heat in all baths were amazing! The upstairs and downstairs kitchen had many dirty dishes in the cabinetry and were all over the place. Most of the pots and pans were also dirty. We were very surprised. The washing machine on the main level was a waste of water. It kept needing balanced and took hours to wash towels. We even made the loads not so large to try to eliminate it. The downstairs washing machine and dryer although much smaller worked wonderfully! The upper level bathrooms and lower level bathrooms were not cleaned, hair and dirty tubs. There was trash (coke cans, tissues, etc) left around the house - it appeared to not have been cleaned or checked well after it was "cleaned". The lower deck is a wonderful place for a family! We thoroghly enjoyed it. The beach toys, boards, kayaks place was a hot mess, things were thrown all around. My nephew on our last day cleaned the entire deck, bars and cleaned and organized the beach toys. Again, super suprised on how dirty the bars were and the second bar could not be used until the toy area was cleaned. We loved the shower and foot spray at the top of the walkway. That was fabulous to clean your feet and to cool off from the beach! Nice surprise. The furniture in the family room (especially the two chairs) were super nice and fit all of us! The amount of table and chair space to eat was also great for us! The top deck was a great place for coffee and our moring Yoga! The views are wonderful! The people who put out the beach chairs and umbrellas had them out early every morning and we didn't even have to call! That was also super nice! The beach and water were PERFECT! I hope this review is posted and the owners take notice. This home could be AMAZING and be an even higher rent if it were better taken care of. FYI, our family enjoyed themselves so much so don't let this change your mind about staying here! We just wanted the owners to be informed.

Helpful suggestions

Other than a few maintenance issues the condo was perfect for our family. The out door grills need major work. It needed more beach towels. One roll of toilet paper per bath room is not enough. Even with these issues we will consider a return visit.

Great location but property needs lots of repairs

Upon arrival the air conditioning was out, place smelled hot and musty. The ceiling in master bedroom was leaking on the bed, so bed was wet in master bedroom. Water was dripping from a/c vents in ceiling. Very upset on arrival. Not how you want your vacation to start especially after to cost of this rental. It should have been in better shape. Lots of other small issues also, doors sticking, didn't lock, microwave broke, coffee pot broke, cutting board broke a few large water bugs, etc. Good points, Solely was quick to get an a/c guy out and a maintenance guy out the next day. These guys were really nice and did their best to fix what could be fixed. So I spent the first 3 days of vacation dealing with what was wrong with the unit. (ugh not fun) You could not beat the location to the beach. As the week went things got a little better, but this unit has a lot of issues. Be careful

Fun Family Florida Reunion

Outstanding location! Beautiful beachfront property. Gorgeous deck. The many bedrooms, bathrooms, two fully equipped kitchens, laundry facilities, spacious indoor and outdoor seating make this a perfect place for a large family gathering. The video game tables were a hit with all age groups. Kayaks and paddle boards provided lots of fun.
