As former residents of Navarre with family still living in the area, we make it a point to return every year. Let me begin with what we loved about the rental. The location of the condo is outstanding, offering easy and direct access to the beach. The pool was clean and inviting though we did wish for a bit more shaded seating to escape the midday sun.
While the furniture was clearly dated and showed signs of wear, it was generally comfortable—except for the beds, which I’ll address shortly. We didn’t do much cooking during our stay, but the kitchen appeared well-stocked with all the essentials for meal preparation.
Overall, we had a wonderful stay. If you're not overly particular (as we tend not to be), you’ll likely enjoy this condo and all it has to offer. That said, there are definitely areas that could use some attention.
The carpet throughout the unit was heavily stained and noticeably dirty—we felt uncomfortable walking on it barefoot. The patio furniture was in poor condition, with the lounge chair in such disrepair that it posed a real hazard. We were genuinely worried our grandson might injure himself on its rusted, jagged frame. The ceiling fan in the second bedroom wasn’t operational, which made that space less comfortable.
As for the beds, we suspect the mattresses are quite old. They’ve been topped with memory foam to compensate, but we found the toppers uncomfortably soft and unsupportive—though, of course, mattress comfort is highly subjective. The towels, while plentiful, were rough and scratchy, more reminiscent of sandpaper than soft linens.
Despite these issues, we would absolutely consider staying in this tower again—though likely in a different unit. We always have a lovely time in Navarre, and this trip was no exception. With some thoughtful updates, this condo has the potential to be truly exceptional. As it stands, the positives still outweigh the negatives.
