Great house, but only comes with "starter" supplies

I recently stayed at this VRBO and was surprised to receive a “what to pack” email from management —after booking—that basic necessities like toilet paper, trash bags for the kitchen trashcans, and dishwasher pods for the dishwasher were not included beyond a small starter supply. I believe this information should be disclosed before booking, not after, and when booking VRBO’s in the future, I will prioritize homes where the nightly rate includes these items. These small additions would cost very little compared to the rental price but would make a big difference for guests, particularly those flying in who can’t easily bring household items with them. That said, the house itself was great—comfortable, well-furnished, and conveniently close to the beach.

Another Beautiful trip to Navarre

Yearly trip to the beach with kids, spouses and grandkids. Debbie missed us so the weeks weather was almost perfect. Accommodations were great with beach front access. Older unit but served the purpose and the elevator was a saving grace as I have recently had knee replacement surgery.

Beautiful Gulf-front location

Perfect for the 4 of us. Each bedroom had its own full bath. Good layout. Full, well-stocked kitchen(s). Seemed like it was recently remodeled. Nice furnishings, etc. Great access to the beach. Great view of the water. Elevator was very helpful for a couple guests with mobility issues.

Perfect Location

Great experience with property management. Quick response to a small maintenance request. The townhouse was wonderfully stocked. Nicely decorated. Perfectly located. The boardwalk to the beach was right outside the 2nd level doors. The walls are well insulated because we did not ever hear our neighbors. We stayed in the third townhouse of four. Very quiet. The elevator was a very nice touch. The two sets of washers and dryers , one on the first level and the second set on the third level was very useful. All in all it was a fantastic place to stay. The view was beautiful.

Awesome rental!

The townhome was awesome and included a lot of extra touches that were appreciated, such as the swing faucet by the stove to fill pasta pans and luxurious showers! I also enjoyed cooking on the outdoor griddle. We also loved the free-standing freezer in the kitchen and the additional downstairs suite. The only thing that could have been improved was minor; we had a large group and there were few utensils for cooking for large crowds and few glasses for alcoholic beverages (wine/champagne glasses) . I purchased a stock pot for pasta, champagne and wine glasses and left them as we will be looking into availability for next year! Very happy with everything!!!!

Great dog-friendly place to stay on the beach

This is beach front. Even though the walkway is shared with all units, it is very quiet even with huge families staying next door. The beach has beautiful powdery sand, but the shore is angled, so no great for long walks on the beach. The water is clear and warm. The elevator is amazing for your dog and groceries. Be careful with the auto-locking doors. It is easy to get locked out. The room with a kitchen on the first floor is nice and spacious. It has its own fridge, coffeemaker, washer/dryer and seating area. It had a wall mount ac, so it never gets real cold. On the main level, the kitchen is well equipped with plenty of dishes, pots, pans, etc (could use more coffee cups). There are 2 ovens and a stand alone freezer. The coffee maker is a drip, not a keurig. Instacart delivers from Publix there. The couch is comfy, but bring sheets to cover it if your dog sheds because it is not leather. The dining room has 11 seats but it is a little tight if you have a big group. The internet is great at this place. I worked all week and my husband streamed TV. Also, the house was super clean and management company was very communicative.

This townhouse is really nice and great for a large group. Property Owners went the extra step in providing several beach chairs and extra umbrellas. My family really enjoyed the elevator inside the home taking luggage and groceries to each floor. Even though this townhome is connected to other townhouses you don’t hear the other groups staying next to you. Highly recommend this property!!!
