We would recommend to anyone. We often had coffee on the deck in the mornings, played cornhole in the mornings, used the golf cart to get to the beach. Beds were very comfortable. Had plenty of room for people to play games, each bedroom has a TV but we were too busy to watch anything but a few football games. Had a fire in the fire ring one night. There are 4 beach chairs, a shell scoop, 8 beach towels, 2 wake boards. Very clean. Nina was prompt when we had questions. 15 minutes from Navarre with lots of options for groceries, great places to eat. 30 minutes from Pensacola. We had a great time.
Sunrise off of the deck.
Beach less than 5 minutes down the road.

Beautiful place with great amenities for our family. Listing has Golf cart in the title and nothing in the description about it being a rental. Asking management about this they informed me that the arrival instructions have the rental and also if you click on the pictures and actually look at the description which I missed. After going back and forth with them about it they offered a tiny compensation.

The house is very clean, comfortable, and convenient to local stores and restaurants. And close to the beach! It is well maintained and nicely appointed. The kitchen is especially well equipped, with many pots, pans, and other appliances and equipment. It is a gated community with other attractive houses. The pool is a little small, but while we were there, not overly crowded.We would have enjoyed more seating in the living area. Two small sofas held six people total, and we were an extended family of 11.The downstairs area under the house and extending into the backyard is fabulous! We grilled there, people sat and conversed or read there, and the younger kids played. Great outdoor shower, and the proximity to the sound is nice.Our stay was overall great!

This is a great place to stay with your family! Everything is included, just pack your clothes and come. We run at the golf cart, which made it so easy to get to the beach and took afternoon stroll on the beach by the sound Nina was an excellent hostess, and answered all of our questions promptly if we’re ever in the area again will certainly rent this property again

Wonderful Retreat

I can not say enough about our stay. Our visit was what you expect but often do not recieve in a VRBO. Everything was clean, the home was very well stocked, and Nina was in full communication when needed. The view from the porch in the morning provides a beautiful sunrise. The walk to the beach is very convenient but the golfcart came in handy when wanting to go farther down. Especially with the kids. We would 100% book again!!

Relaxing Getaway...

We loved our stay at this property in Navarre Beach. It was our first time visiting the area, as we wanted to avoid the Spring Break crowds in 30A—mission accomplished!The beach was uncrowded, with plenty of space to relax, and the Starfish property was perfect for our needs. We shared it with another family, and it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. While the walk to the Gulf-side beach was a bit longer since we chose not to rent the golf cart, the bay-side beach was much closer and a great spot for morning and evening walks.The host was fantastic—very responsive and helpful whenever we needed information. One of the highlights was the backyard area with a firepit, which was a unique and enjoyable feature we hadn’t experienced before in a Vrbo beach rental.We would absolutely recommend this property and Navarre Beach as a whole. 30A is great, but if you want a true beach getaway—where you don’t have to wake up at 6 AM just to claim a spot on the sand—Navarre Beach is the place to be!

Best family getaway

Everything about this listing is so accurate. The home is extremely beautiful, in a great location for a more quiet beach experience yet close enough for groceries, dining out and shopping. Any questions we had were answered in a timely manner. The beds are so comfortable and everyone having their bathroom was very nice. The kitchen is very well appointed with everything you would need for dinners in. The fire pit area is relaxing especially after a long day on the beach or out sightseeing and shopping. The attention to detail were an added touch, such as shampoo, hand soap, extra toilet paper, laundry detergent, etc. the extra things you either bring with you or purchase when you arrive. Our group is already making plans to come stay again and hopefully a little longer! Thank You again for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Amazing property!

This house was amazing! The bedrooms were a great size and each had its own on suite bathroom which was wonderful! The decor was simply delightful, well maintained and VERY clean. The extra amenities were a bonus as well, tons of toys for kiddos, beach chairs and umbrellas if you need them, and the fire pit was fabulous to sit by each night. The location of the house was great too as you could walk over to the Sound and enjoy a pretty beach area there or the gulf beach was just down the street with ample parking. I'd recommend renting the golf cart they offer, it was a real bonus as well and fun to drive on the island. You can't go wrong with this house!
