Thank you for the review. We are pleased that you found Sleepy Bay a 10 out of 10. We are continually striving to provide the best experience we can to each of our guests.
Frank and Stacey are amazing hosts! They've really thought of everything to make your stay easy and relaxing. They provide so much extra stuff so you don't have to bring or pick things up. Super clean and a pet friendly. We loved our stay and definitely would stay again. This was our first time staying off beach and the bay was a nice change and our dogs loved all the yard space. I would highly recommend staying here. 10 out of 10
Very hospitable, friendly, nice space, good layout, and design, and beautiful views of the water! Very short 10-15min commute to the public beach front! Would definitely recommend this beautifully reasonable property!

Thank you so much for your review! We’re pleased that you enjoyed the and accommodations and the view. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime.
We appreciate your positive comments for communication and friendliness, and we're glad those aspects of your stay stood out.
We were, however, disappointed to receive an 8/10 overall rating, especially since no specific concerns were shared during or after your stay. Being we were out of town, on vacation ourselves, we made sure our local property manager was available throughout your visit and provided her contact information so any issues could be addressed right away. I know we had a tropical storm, Bertha, in the Gulf during your stay and we are sorry if this affected your vacation.
We truly welcome constructive feedback, as it helps us continue providing the 5-star experience we strive for. Had we known there was anything that could have made your stay better, we would have done everything possible to make it right.
We wish you all the best and thank you again for choosing Sleepy Bay.
The view was amazing, the space was clean and everything you could need while on vacation was available and host were spectacular. We will be visiting again soon.

We feel very fortunate to have found this little piece of heaven for our star in Navarre. We've stayed at many vrbo rental over the years and have to say that Sleepy Bay was better than our expectations and was accurately described which is many times not the case.The unit was clean, well appointed and comfortable. The views were amazing and the surroundings peaceful. It was nice to be close to the beach, local restaurants and stores. We felt safe in a new environment and were welcomed by our hosts, Frank and Stacy. They could not be any nicer or more accommodating!Thank you Frank and Stacy for sharing your beautiful property and some fun and exciting memories! We enjoyed every moment and look forward to staying again with you on our next trip in Navarre!

We absolutely loved staying at Sleepy Bay! It was our daughter’s first time to the beach and she had a ball. Being able to escape the busy and head back to the Bay, after a long day at the beach, was such a treat. It truly felt like a home away from home.

We are so happy you two, and Ginny, enjoyed Navarre and your stay. We look forward to your return in the future.

It has everything. All we had to do was buy groceries and enjoy. Spacious enough inside and out to have our Florida family come and visit. What a view!
