Pros: The location is amazing. We love Navarre as a quieter gulf spot, but with everything you need still very close and convenient. This house is right between a couple condo buildings, and shares beach access with just 5 houses, so there’s plenty of room for larger groups on beach. The covered area for gear below and beachside balcony with great view make it very convenient. The kitchen/dining/living area is also very spacious; and comms with property management were seamless. Overall, we had a great stay with extended family.
Cons: The house has clearly seen better days, & is not as well cared for as you may expect in this price point. Looks like storm damage over the years and a lot of wear & tear that wasn’t evident from the photos…scratches/warps in flooring, poor drywall patching, rusting/deteriorating exterior. The kids’ bunk room didn’t seem to have any air circulation and gets very warm and stuffy as well as some holes in drywall. The box fan found in the closet was the saving grace down there, and the single bathroom for 8 people sleeping on that level is cramped. The master bedroom likely once had blackout curtains, but now has sheer curtains on windows, and cheap blinds that leave a 20” gap at the bottom. The large sliding door facing the beach only has a pull-down honeycomb shade that leaves about a 6” gap on each side as well, so privacy at night or sleeping in for the morning aren’t really an option.
