About this property

5-Star Private Beach Home * Gated Neighborhood * Water Views In Every Direction

This gorgeous, super clean, 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath home is located on one of Florida's best undiscovered beaches. Watch the sun rise on one side and set on the other. It offers guests spectacular views of Santa Rosa Sound, a community swimming pool and hot tub in a private gated community, deeded/private beach access to Santa Rosa Sound Beach, and a short walk to the beach on the Gulf of Mexico. Water views in every direction!

This house is conveniently located for any water you want!!! It is a ONE MINUTE walk to the swimming pool and hot tub that is inside the gated community. You only need to walk a short 2 MINUTES to the Santa Rosa Sound Beach that you can view from the back deck of the house. And you can be at the Gulf Beach (which you can also view from the back deck) in a short 7-MINUTE walk!!! (By the way - Parents and small children like the Santa Rosa Sound Beach because it is more secluded with gentle waves. Teenagers tend to prefer to walk to the Emerald Shores Beach on the Gulf Side to see more activity and be social).

Our gated-community is on the sound side and has lots of sandy beach and calm water. Plus, behind our house is open, undeveloped park land with sand and sea oats - perfect for kids to explore. Keep in mind that parking is limited to the driveway and garage only. No street or curbside parking is allowed.

For technology, we have Wi-Fi available, large flat-screen smart TVs, an Ultra High Definition 4K TV in the living room, and the Netflix app available on the Smart TVs. (Please remember to log off of your Netflix account before you leave). If you prefer music at the beach, we suggest that you bring a waterproof, sandproof bluetooth speaker for trips to the beach.

For pricing, feel free to look at the rates by selecting the "Rates" link just below the photos above. Likewise, for a detailed price quote, please enter your desired dates on the right and select the link/button that says "Detailed Price." That feature will include the price for the dates you select, it will include taxes, cleaning, and all the applicable items. If you like what you see, then you can Book Immediately Online with VRBO.

Beautiful home near beach and sound... perfect location!

Our family loved our visit to Navarre Beach and this was the perfect house for us... everything we needed to enjoy the beach and the sound (which was so nice for swimming / paddle boarding / fishing). Kids loved the community pool and hot tub. Also, we cooked a lot and it was nice to have such a well-stocked kitchen. Beds were super comfortable!

Great beach vacation

Great house at a nice location. The rooms were spacious and well laid out. We really liked the garage and all the beach stuff available to use like the paddle board and kayak. The air conditioning was not working when we arrived but the owners got a repair guy to come out on a Saturday evening and get it fixed.

Beautiful Accomendations

AJ and Maggie's home is absolutely beautiful. There was enough room for our entire family, everybody had their own space. It's was such a blessing for the Bahou's to share their home with us. Our children and grandchildren had a wonderful time and loved being in a quiet and inviting place. Navarre is a beautiful place to vacation and AJ and Maggie's home is the best place to stay.

Unbeatable Beach House: A Perfect Spot for a Relaxing Getaway

If you're looking for a fantastic beach house, look no further than this gem! The house is beautifully decorated, well-maintained, and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The location is unbeatable - just a short walk to the beach, with stunning views of the sound from the house. The owner is friendly and responsive, and the check-in process was a breeze. All in all, this is the perfect spot for a relaxing beach getaway. Highly recommended!

We had a fantastic stay here. The house was incredible for our two families with 6 kids between us. The house is spacious, well decorated, clean, and so comfortable. We all really enjoyed it. The owner is also super responsive when we had questions while we were there! I do recommend golf cart rental for trips to the ocean side and then you can walk to the sound side very easily.

Great house!

6 adults, 2 teenagers and 3 toddlers: everyone pleased. House was well laid out and nicely equipped with fun paddle boards and a kayak. We can down right after a tropical storm and we’re grateful for the sound. While the Gulf side had two red flags up, due to riptides, we enjoyed the calm of the sound.

Love this rental!

We loved this home! Great location! The home is spacious, clean and well kept. We had 10 people in our group. We did figure out it is best to rent a golf cart for easy transportation to and from the beach especially if you have children and lots of items to take back and forth. The older kids loved riding the bikes and several of the adults walked. We spent most of our time at the beach but did also enjoy the pool. This home is in a quite neighborhood. Would love to stay here again!
Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2016
Response from VrboOwner on 27 August 2023
Thank you for your response. Because we get many questions from other potential renters about the golf carts, it is fine if you want to rent golf carts. One suggestion is to check out Navarre Custom Carts on the Internet for pricing, availability, and other questions. We visit this beach house often and do NOT rent a golf cart. It is just our personal preference for the short walks (times for the walks are listed above in Property Description). It is a ONE-Minute walk to the swimming pool, a TWO-Minute walk to the Santa Rosa Sound, and a 7-Minute walk to the Gulf of Mexico ocean beach. In addition, there is parking at the beach access area on the ocean, so if you need to drive, you could take a car for elderly guests. Because we receive many questions from other renters about all the amenities, we wanted to explain that those bikes, boogie boards, etc. are personal items that we leave at the house. However, we cannot promise that those items will always be there or in great working condition over the whole summer. So, just treat these amenities as extra bonus items when you arrive.

Wonderful vacation!

We just left this home last week, and I am ready to go back now. It was a beautiful house and a great location. We really appreciated the special care the owners have taken to make sure you have everything you need, even high chairs and pack-n-plays. It really has the best of both worlds with the sound and ocean so close. We did rent a golf cart to go to the beach, which was very handy. However, it is a very nice walk as well. I would recommend this location to anyone, especially with children. Also, the residents of the whole gated community were so friendly! This was a great experience, and I appreciate how the Bahou family has tried to make their home as convenient and enjoyable as possible.
