Crazy but Wonderful

We rented this home as a last minute family vacation. From the time we left home we seem to just have crazy stuff happening. However, DeAnna,the property manager, was wonderful to work with and did everything possible to fix any and everything. We loved having the Kayaks/canoes included. Along with the life jackets, fishing poles, beach chairs and beach toys. It made everything so much easier knowing we didn't need to bring it or to run out and buy it.

It was a comfortable and pleasant stay.

Having contact with the host Skip was amazing. I didn't have to wait to hear back from him with any of my questions. The house was clean, the beds were comfortable and it was spacious with a good view of the Santa Rosa Sound. But because of new development in the area there is not a view of the Gulf anymore. There were some issues with the refrigerator that Skip notified me about and the oven didn't get hot quickly. Overall though I would definitely stay here again if I had a large group of us going next year.

Great House

This house has everything you need to enjoy the sound and the beach. The king beds in every room fit our family perfectly. They even had a crib for the baby. The communication with the owners is great, they are readily available for anything you may need.

Navarre getaway

Location of this property is fantastic. See the bay and channel from your dining table and a short walk to the beach on the Gulf. Just at the entrance to the Gulf Shores National Seashore. Lots of building in the immediate and neighboring areas. To get to the beach on the channel side you need to go through narrow backyards of new homes. Bikes and kayaks are available as we didn't use them due to wind and no bike tire pump. Lots of beach toys and chairs for better weather time on the beach. Place needs some TLC but would rent again.

Family Vacation

There were 11 in our party, ranging in age 2 to 80. Everyone enjoyed the property. Plenty of space, a very nice house, but needs some TLC as it has been a rental for a few years. Doors do not properly shut, ice maker does not work, and a few other little things, but all and all would be glad to rent again.

Amazing Family Vacation !!!

The house was beautiful and plenty of room for our family of 10. The location was perfect. Fantastic view of the sound behind the home and we were within a 5 minute walk to the gulf across the street. At no point was the beach crowded and sometimes we were the only family out in the area across from the home which was a plus! The garage is full of beach gear for all ages. Skip and Debbie were great to work with and were quick to respond to all of my questions prior to arrival. I would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful relaxing location. The house is a great lay out for a large group.

Wonderful home in an amazing location. A lot of construction going on all around which was rather noisy. House needs a deep cleaning. Baseboards and bathroom cabinet are very dirty and there was mold in the shower.

Always Amazing!

We have rented this house several times over the past 11 years. It is a perfect location for families. The sound and beach are both enjoyable places to play and hang out. The house has a great layout. It is a nice quiet neighborhood. The owners are friendly and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend this property.

Perfect for us

This house is sitting on the water in a private neighborhood with views and easy access to the sound from the back and a five minute walk to the gulf side to a beach with few people. The owner provides umbrellas, chairs, kayaks and Beach toys with wagons to pull them up the driveway to the beach. The house was clean and ready when we arrived. The owner is responsive and easy to work with. If there is a negative, it is no "bunk room" to put all the kids and only one bath in the main floor. No matter. We were all happy. Planning another stay next year.

Outstanding week!

We have been going to Navarre Beach for more than 20 years. After staying in the same place for the last decade we decided to try a new place. Wow! Everyone was pleased. It was easier to get to the beach than some of the places with boardwalks. Plus, the proximity to the Gulf National Seashore made the beach here less crowded. The location on the canal made fishing and swimming so much more accessible. The community pool—a must for our group—was perfect. And, the house was amazing. It was spacious, beautifully furnished, and met the needs of our large family group. We enjoyed the week so much, we have already booked for next year. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Walden for helping us have an incredible vacation!

Family of 11 vacation

The house was perfect! It was clean. It has everything we needed. We usually stay right on the beach and thought it was a bit closer to the house according to pictures. The bay is not accessible for the kids to play in so it made it a bit challenging for our littles. Overall we were very happy with this vacation rental!

Not private as shown in pictures Other Houses within 5 feet all around us

The house was advertised as having a private beach which when we got there it was being dredged The pictures don’t show any other houses around the one advertised but that’s incorrect their houses all around it within 5 feet the neighbors dogs barked nonstop 24 hours the house itself was beautiful the owner is very nice But the location is not as advertised definitely not private

Great location several houses from Gulfshores National Seashore and across the street from the Gulf.

This was the perfect place for our family vacation. My husband and I traveled with 3 other adults, with plenty of room to spare. All 5 bedrooms have king beds, the rooms are generously sized. The kitchen had nearly everything we needed to prepare meals with. The house is filled with natural light in every room. The back deck is large and has an area which is covered, as well as large opens for lounging or entertaining. The neighborhood is quite. The walk across the street to the Gulf is quick and easy. The owner provided everything we needed for a day at the beach. There were 3 kays in the garage for use. We brought our own. Unfortunately, the association was in the process of dredging thee channel, and 2 of our guests could not navigate around the heavy dredge lines with the kayaks, that was the only issue we really had. My husband and I did make it past the dredge lines by exiting our boats and portaging around. The effort was well worth it! The sound was quiet, a private paradise with clear water, white sandy beaches and calm water. It was perfect! The owner was quickly responded to questions or concerns. We would definitely consider staying here again. Thanks for the great stay Skip!

Great rental for family vacation

Everything was as promised in listing. We had great weather 6 out of 7 days . Bicycles and kayaks were ok but may need to be serviced so all safety features working properly. We brought own bikes as well so worked out ok. Would highly recommend as vacation destination. Can't beat the location on the beach for view and uncrowded atmosphere.
