When the main beach is overcrowded or the waves are rough, this is a tranquil escape—especially if you have a little ones to swim, play in the sand, or just lay out. All the house except a few owners’ and housekeeping closets & drawers If you need anything, we're just a phone call away (check out 3500+ 5-star reviews). We are more than happy to answer questions or offer help if you need it. Our housekeeping & maintenance team live in Navarre and don’t mind coming by to help out with any issues. Just message or call and we’ll either send someone by or handle any concerns personally. We love our neighborhood filled with Caribbean-style homes each unique with it's own flavor. The house is a 3-minute walk from the Gulf and about 3 minutes in the opposite direction from a private beach along the Santa Rosa Sound. You’re on a quiet no-outlet circular street that is ideal for kids to ride their bikes or walk your pet. You’ll be a half-mile from Navarre Beach Fishing Pier and a mile from the underwater sights at Navarre Beach Gulf Snorkel Reef. There are a few restaurants and shops on the island, while it's a two-mile drive to Navarre for more variety. We enjoy staying at the house and walking to the beach most of the time while we're in Navarre. It's about a 5 minute drive across the bridge into town (when there is no traffic) where you can find groceries, a Walmart, and plenty of restaurants (see our recommendations). Bigger towns like Fort Walton Beach and Gulf Breeze are about 20 minutes away. During the busy season, there is a good bit of traffic getting on and off the island—but why would you ever want to leave! Unlike other rentals we provide enough trashbags, toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher pods & laundry pods for the duration of your stay. We also provide a beach towel in addition to bath towels for each of your guests and a beach cart! We welcome pets, but there is a $65 fee and ask that you please dispose of waste anywhere on our property or neighborhood. Late checkouts can sometimes be accommodated with a $50 fee per hour. If guests are not completely checked out when our housekeepers arrive at 10:00, $50 will be charged. Hurricane season is June 1 through November 30 with the peak in September to early October. If our place is damaged due to a storm and we are unable to host you, of course we will fully refund your cost and let you know as soon as we know. If you make the tough decision to cancel your beach trip due to a potential storm or inclimate weather we can provide a refund of the cleaning fee but the reservation cost will be your responsibility. Some guests have purchased travel insurance through their insurance company to cover the reservation cost in case of inclement weather. The following does NOT apply to reservations made on Airbnb (who has their own vetting & resolution process). For all other booking platforms, guests are required to complete our pre-arrival process including a photo of a valid ID, signing our rental conditions, and submitting a valid credit or debit card to be pre-approved for a security deposit (card will not be charged just authorized in case of damage or rule violation). This process needs to be completed before check-in. Search "Days Like This Airbuild" to find us and book direct for the lowest rates. Use the code "direct" to receive a discount :-)
