Definitely our favorite condo in Navarre so far (in the past 18 years we have stayed in five different complexes on the Gulf side of Navarre Beach). We had some maintenance and cleanliness issues, but they were taken care of within 12 hours. The small hot tub was broken while here, but that actually made it more amazing. The complex has a hot tub, a big "cool" tub that fits 20, and a pool. Because the hot tub was broken, the "cool" tub was heated making it so much fun for our large group to hang out in the hot tub every evening. And finally both the Pier Bar (also called LagerHeads) and the tiki bar (really known as Juana's Pagodas) are within walking distance giving us fun late nights.

The overall experience, not so much. Not that the property could do anything about it, but the first two nights the wall-neighbors locked their dog in the bathroom at night. Yip. Yip. Yip. The next night some others close by enjoyed a long session of some quite pungent weed on their balcony. This is our fourth night here and housekeeping has not been to the room once. The linens have not been touched, nor have the floors or bathroom. Last night I had to call down for a soap refill. Tonight I just called down for bath towels and to have the room swept (again, fourth night in an almost $600/night Marriott beach hotel, zero housekeeping so far) and they brought towels. I asked if someone could sweep for us, and they looked at me like I was asking them to solve an astrophysics problem. "Please just bring me a broom..." seemed to work. We come to Navarre annually. We have stayed here before and have recommended this property to friends. This is definitely the last time we will stay and moving forward we will warn friends rather than recommend this property.

Both restaurants have food that exceeded my expectations, (pizza/flatbreads, pot stickers and sweet potato fries were fam faves,) though breakfast offerings are slim, so we ended up off property both mornings. Grounds are very well kept and everyone is very friendly! Starbucks in the market was a great perk. We came labor day weekend so the kids and family programming was over for the summer, but the Aqua water thing in the bay entertained the kiddo for a good bit of an afternoon one day. it's a bit of a racket, standing at the shore or wading in to keep an eye on kiddo works... for a bit, but much needed shade requires renting a chair/umbrella set up on the bay for like 50$ (on top of the 50 you paid for kiddo to play), or retreating to the pool for an included chair/umbrella set up and bar/food service, but limited visibility if any of the kid. It would have been more palatable as a 100$ kid plays/parents get shade combo package even (I know it costs the same. Just feels less sneaky) bar/food service on the bay would have added addl enjoyment too but we made the best of it and then hung by the pool a bit longer. Check in and out is easy, parking wasn't a hassle, in unit laundry was great to have and we are talking about planning another visit.

I stayed in tower 4 in the Portofino Resort and had a lovely time. Our unit was gorgeous, squeaky…read moreclean, and had everything we needed. The beach was a short walk away, and as the kids had just gone back to school, it was sparsely populated and peaceful. Beach chairs were $60 per set of 2, per day. The main pool got a little crowded, but wasn't too bad. I was still able to find a vacant chair. The service around the pool was great and the food was pretty good too, as far as pool food goes. The flatbread pizza was tasty, as was the caprese salad. Each building has its own smaller pool, but we chose to just go to the main pool so that we could take advantage of the bar and food service. There is a sundries shop that serves Starbucks coffee, there is a spa, and there are a couple of restaurants. The spa was booked, so I recommend making your reservation before you arrive or as soon as.

The only off-putting aspect was since the doors are external, the wind made the doors rattle all night long and our room was by the elevator which creates a tunnel effect for the wind. We also saw the hall light from outside, even with our shades closed. If back in the area we will try again and hope to get a better assigned room.

Need foil, an SOS pad, detergent for more than one load (and fabric softener)? Go buy some! As in other rentals, every cabinet is full of WAY too many dishes (30 tumblers and glasses in this unit that sleeps 6!) but no space is vacant for the guests' groceries! I will say, one maintanance issue with our unit was addressed promptly and resolved. I've also observed guests get better attention if they rent more costly rentals.

If you're planning a trip to Navarre Beach, do yourself a favor and avoid all properties managed by Vacasa LLC. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, we encountered nothing but problems. To start, the condo had a coded entry door followed by two keyed entries. Despite being provided with a code, we were never given a key. We initially entered the condo using the code, but when one of the keyed doors accidentally shut, we were locked out. What followed was a nightmare of incompetence. We called and messaged every contact number provided, only to be met with disbelief and rudeness. Several representatives outright denied the existence of a keyed door, and I was hung up on multiple times. Finally, after nearly two hours of waiting, I reached a representative named Cedric who, thankfully, took our situation seriously and promised to send someone with a key. During this time, my family and I were forced to wait outside in the humid Florida weather for almost two hours. This trip was meant to celebrate my daughter's 16th birthday, but instead, we spent hours outside, watching her birthday cake melt into a sticky mess. When the manager, Leslie, finally arrived, she showed no urgency whatsoever. Accompanied by two friends, she casually walked up to the second floor, unlocked the door, and left without a single word of apology or acknowledgment. The lack of urgency and basic human decency was astounding. What if a child had been trapped inside, or worse, on the balcony? The property's indifferent response to this safety hazard is inexcusable. Our plans for a birthday dinner were completely ruined, with no accountability from the property. Unfortunately, this was just the beginning of our troubles. Once inside, the property itself was riddled with issues. The refrigerator door wouldn't stay closed, forcing us to prop it shut constantly. All small kitchen appliances were dirty, or in poor shape. The furniture was stained and old. The kitchen table is leaning causing items to simply slide off on the floor. One of the bathtubs didn't drain properly, making it almost unusable as it took 20 minutes to drain after a shower. The cleanliness of the condo was subpar, dishes in the cabinets and drawers were dirty, there was a urine stain on one of the beds,and none of the bathrooms were clean. There was hair and grime in the showers requiring us to clean the entire space before we could relax. Moreover, the building's elevator had an inspection that was over a year out of date--a serious safety concern that I have documented and will be reporting to the fire department. During our stay, we also witnessed people engaging in explicit activities on a balcony, yet security seemed more concerned about policing my children getting out of the pool on time. Despite alerting security, nothing was done about the inappropriate behavior. To add insult to injury, after checking out on time and returning all wristbands as required, I was charged an additional $313. When I contacted the company to dispute this charge, they falsely claimed that we checked out an hour and a half late and left trash in the unit. This is an outright lie. I have Life360 screenshots proving when we left, and we were never informed that we needed to take out the trash, although all major trash was removed. I am now disputing these fraudulent charges with my bank and will be reporting this property to the appropriate authorities for the out-of-date elevator inspection. This entire experience has been nothing short of a nightmare. If you value your time, money, and sanity, steer clear of all properties owned by Vacasa LLC in Navarre Beach.

The last time I went to pick up my dog, I rang the bell several times and waited in the lobby for 20 minutes before somebody came to ask if they could help. In this instance, we're asking friends if they can watch our dog for the weekend. Otherwise, we get to tell our kids that we won't be taking our little trip as planned. That should be fun to explain to our 4 year old (who LOVES hotels).

If you're expecting a clean, well-maintained beach condo, keep looking…read more The front door lock didn't look or feel secure, which isn't something you should have to worry about on vacation. We found roaches during our stay, the condo was dirty upon arrival (fruit flies included), the washer and dryer smelled musty, the toilet paper holder was broken, and the patio furniture was filthy. The "fitness room" was outdated, poorly maintained, and barely qualifies as an amenity. Be prepared for extra costs and surprises. Beach chair rentals were expensive (you have to rent them daily), and the "starter kit" of supplies was of laughable quality --barely enough toilet paper or paper towels to get through the first few days, so expect to make a shopping trip almost immediately. The pool and hot tub are constantly packed-so have fun trying to find a spot to relax around that area. Avoid the stagnant standing water as well. Parking is another headache. The parking pass has to be displayed at all times or you'll get a towed, and the rules aren't communicated in a guest-friendly way. On checkout, you're expected to take out the trash and wash the dishes before leaving. While some rentals have checkout chores, it's frustrating to pay premium rates and still feel like you're doing housekeeping. Finally, if you're hoping for a relaxing day on the beach, be prepared for crowds. The beach is absolutely packed, with chairs practically on top of each other. If you don't reserve a rental, you'll need to be out there around 6a.m. to claim an unreserved spot-otherwise, you may not find any space at all. For the price, this property falls WELL short of expectations. A beachfront location can't make up for poor cleanliness, deferred maintenance, crowded conditions, and constant nickel-and-diming. We won't be returning or recommending this condo. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra few dollars and to find a nicer place to stay. 2 stars for the beach view. That's it.

Summerwind, at least for our time there (mid-May) was quite nice! While large, it didn't feel like it (short of the view from the 14th floor). Elevators were readily available (huge bonus) and fast. The amenities were nice - including the little snack/souvenir shop that had all sorts of goodies. Our condo was very nice (not perfect, but very nice). I'm not reviewing the unit itself - moreso the property... However, the layout of the unit was excellent - organizing the important things (primary bedroom and living room - overlooking the beach) while separating the other bedrooms to the back of the unit. The beach is excellent (of course! That's why we go!). I was 50/50 on the pier being there. I'm not a fan of it (swimming hazard and I enjoy the view of an unobstructed gulf). However, it was also kind of cool seeing it out there. Near the end of our stay, there must've been some lifeguard training/ritual where kids were jumping off the pier into the water, then swimming to shore to ring a bell... If I were to stay in Navarre Beach again, I'd probably look to move west a little toward smaller condos. But if you stuck my in Summerwind again, I know I would have a good vacation.
