    Can't even clean the full window.

    1. Hot and humid elevators. 2. Old beds with defined sunken areas from years of use. 3. Owners are the majority and really make visitors feel unwelcome. 4. Groundskeeper takes over 48 hours to clean trash by pool 5. Feel like you overpaid. 6. Constant disgusting dirty finds in condo from neglect. 7. Just to show you they do the bare minimum, I'll post a picture of their window cleaning from as I sit on a stained couch. Don't stay here.

    The Living Room

    Five stars aren't enough. DeeAnna has provided the absolute Hall of Fame insofar as a home away from home is concerned. Sonia and I were absolutely delirious about the digs. What impresses us most is the careful attention that DeeAnna and her people gave to all the small touches and amenities. There's not just an adult pair of scissors in the laundry room, but there's a child's pair also. There's also glue, paperclips, safety pins, beach towels, a pen, paper, you name it. There's not just a washer and dryer, but a name brand Maytag washer and dryer, heavy duty and expensive. Not just a go-to-hell refrigerator, stove, and dishwasher, but Whirlpool brand. Not just silverware--and lots of it--but tongs, a cheese grater, a cheese slicer, half a dozen spatulas, tupperware out the wazoo. Not just a television but a BIG ol' television and Amazon Prime to boot! The furniture is beautiful, functional, and comfortable. The master bedroom contains a king-size bed. (Those of you who don't own one at home will never be the same.) The pool is large by any definition of the word--crisp and a little chilly in the morning and warm and inviting by late afternoon. The beach and the Gulf are beyond compare and the white sands of Navarre Beach are always warm, never hot. Contrary to some opinions, Navarre Beach DOES have several excellent restaurants and many adequate ones. For an unbelievable hamburger or shrimp tacos, go to Johnny Huston's. For something you don't eat every day (or month or year), try Thailand's Best LLC. Mexican food? Cactus Flower is dee-lish. Jersey Mike's Subs are hard to beat anywhere. We know a little bit about Italian food, having lived near St. Louis' "The Hill" area for years, and Bella Luna Italian Bistro compares very favorably. Sonia and I have already recommended DeeAnna's BHWP2B to two other people and we've been home only three days. DeeAnna seems to have thought of everything. This is the best vacation spot we've ever visited and I guarantee you, we WILL be back.

    Ok..i own a rental unit there but this is a very nice property with all the amenities. The balconies are covered and 250 sq feet. The pool is the largest on the beach. The views of the Gulf and the inter coastal are terrific. Most of the time the beach is crowded.

    This is a family oriented kinda resort. If you have kids, friends who have kids, then this place is perfect for you to kick back and enjoy the beach or pool the whole day. The condos are spacious and have an amazing view of the beach and ocean, ours had wifi, patio furniture to relax, tv's in every room with cable though we didn't quite use it. Also there was an option to rent a movie free that came with staying at the condos but we didn't quite get to watch tv. All guests were cordial which was nice and came from all over the place. Spent 3 nights and could have easily done 4 but shucks work waits for no man .

    View from 12th floor east tower

    Great spot, first time in Navarre and the amenities are nice, wish the pool was heated since the west tower shades the pool mid day. The beach needs some serious work and additional sand brought in but the condos are really spacious and fitness center was great! Even had a pull up bar (which is rare). Overall ill be back for sure but definitely in the summer months, not spring break too cold :)

    This condo was recently completely remodeled and is lovely. The beds are comfy; the pillows soft,…read moreand the kitchen is well equipped. We have stayed in Vacasa properties several times so I know their policies are uniform at all properties. But seriously, not providing ANY kitchen necessities is inconvenient at best and damn irritating at worst. For a 3 day stay, they really do expect guests to buy salt, pepper, cooking spray, dishwasher detergent and COFFEE FILTERS! 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.

    I travel extensively, both personally and for work, and without a doubt, this has been the worst…read moretravel experience of my life. 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.

    Vacasa - I was told the door doesn't have a handle for grasping. This is the design. Yet, I clearly see screw holes where the handle should be.

When using Booking.com it ended up with a company called Vacasa. The code for the door wouldn't work and that was the beginning of was many issues. Maintenance items had been neglected and overlooked. The dishwasher smelled horrible and after reading other reviews people had reported the same problem for two years. The property is wonderful, just be sure to check who you rent from to make the most of your time. We've visited for almost 20 years and this was the first with problems. My rating of 3 stars is only for this visit and dealing with Vacasa as the manager of the unit.

    Summerwind was amazing when we first started to stay here 13 years ago. Unfortunately it's not the…read moresame place today that it once was. The beach itself (literally the reason we have come year after year) has gotten so crowded you're basically trying to enjoy it while piled on top of strangers. The guys who rent the chairs and umbrellas take up THE ENTIRE ocean front so you either have to give them money for their chairs (we have our own) or look at peoples backs all day. Another option is spend everyday of your vacation waking at 4:30am to try and beat them to it to set your stuff up before they hog up the entire beach (not much of a vacation in my opinion). It never use to be that way, it's ridiculous how much beach space they take up. There's little to no room on the beach if you bring your own chairs, umbrella or tent. Regardless if you bring your own or rent from them though you're still on top of people all day it's so crowded. The actual condo itself was ok with everything we needed so there's no complaints there. It's dated and not luxurious by any means but also not the worst part of our trip. The big one however and probably the reason we will stop staying here after being a returning costumer for so many years is the same situation others have had with the parking. My family and I went to dinner our last night and upon returning to the condo's we had windows and sunroof open and I guess our parking pass blew off the dash and onto my center console without us noticing as we were getting out of the truck. We woke up the next morning to begin the task of packing and getting ready to leave only to find a cable lock on my rim. We payed a LOT of money to stay at this place for a week only to get booted in the parking lot on the last day. Had to pay another $270 bucks to get this thing off my truck so we could go home. A paying guest with a parking pass and they insult you with an almost three hundred dollar charge over a piece of paper not being on the dash. As I stated earlier, we have been coming here a long time and this has NEVER happened here before. What an insult to your guest. Don't expect anyone to help you or hear your case out either, they won't. There's no number to call on the ticket and management won't help you or give you any guidance. They just tell you they're not responsible for security and say sorry. Please learn from our experience and look elsewhere for your vacation. There's far too many options along the coast for the hard earned money you spend to come here and have a boot put on your car while piled on top of strangers on the beach all day. This place is NOT a fun and enjoyable vacation destination anymore. Stay elsewhere, you'll be thankful you did.

A medium setting would be nice and also longer pull chains so you're not in danger of getting whacked by the blades trying to change the speed. Also, the shower head really needs replacing as the spray is so light and fine it's hard to wash yourself let alone your hair. Lastly, the bed frame needs tightening because the slightest touch and it wobbles all over, bumps the wall and creaks. Moving around in it was worse. My husband tightened up the legs on the dining room table. Regardless, none of these very small issues detracted from us enjoying our stay. The view is phenomenal and the condo very clean and well stocked with all you need to cook meals, not that I did any cooking. haha THE BEACH!!! it's sooo beautiful. We spent time on the beach relaxing, but we also went on a dolphin cruise in PCB, a tiki cruise to Crab Island and parasailing in Destin. We drove 399 to Pensacola and got yummy ice cream on the boardwalk. We ate at Dave's oyster bar in Navarre and I had my first ever oysters, they were really good. We also ate at Pineapple Willy's on the beach in Destin,TC's front porch in Navarre and really enjoyed those. You must get Pineapple Willy's namesake drink with the extra rum shot. We had dinner at Windjammers on the pier and it was very tasty. Their triple rum punch is no joke, it's a good thing I only had to walk next door to our condo. Lol Shopping was not as successful as the rest of our trip, but we finally found some things in Destin right as you come off the bridge coming back from Destin or before the bridge going to Destin. The only place I could find anything with Navarre on it was Walmart which was a letdown. Navarre needs a few small souvenir stores, not the big ones though. Navarre properties were attentive to ALL my emails and calls regarding our stay before we got there. They were always friendly and polite whether by email, messaging or in person. My husband reported a problem with the tub in our condo backing up and they fixed it that same day while we were out and about. When we left we had set the dishwasher, but forgot to turn it on. They unlocked the door remotely so we could do it. They are amazing and so pleasant to interact with. We'd hung a flag on our balcony for 911 and the security guy who came up and asked us to remove it was very nice about it explaining that it's against the rules to hang anything from the balcony. He even stated he felt bad because of what day it was. We removed it right away. We had the best time ever! The whole property is well kept and all the people are so friendly. Access to the beach is a breeze and most of all THE VIEW!!!!
