We had never stayed on the bayside and it was amazing, especially with the pier. Dolphins swam under the pier and we saw a manatee too. The house was so comfortable and had so many amenities (paddle boards, kayaks, umbrellas and chairs) that were available for our use. We also rented the golfcart and it was well worth the money, using it to get to and from the beach and fishing pier. We plan to stay in this house in the future!

Fun Vacation

Love this house! Everything about it was first class. The owners spared no expense when they renovated it. We had a perfect week and never even left the property except to go to the grocery store, In fact, our granddaughters never even asked to go to the ocean, or even the pool! We loved being able to walk out onto the private beach. We hope to return next summer.

It was wonderful

The property was as beautiful as advertised. The house was clean, well-appointed and comfortable. It was much better stocked with necessities than other rentals. The location, with the calm water of the bay just a few short steps from the house, couldn't be better. There was plenty of outdoor space for everyone and lots of things to do indoors during the daily coastal rainstorms. Overall, a great experience.

A great experience

The house was beautifully decorated and exceptionally well-stocked for a rental. All the levels outside were furnished with a variety of seating which allowed everyone to lounge in either sun or shade in comfort. The mini-beach and bay were great for wading, swimming, fishing or just bobbing like a cork without having to contend with the Gulf surf. The location was convenient to the community dock for fishing, and a short drive to the Navarre Pier for more fishing. The selection of kayaks and beach toys was fun for everyone. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Perfect vacation home

We're so glad we chose Mark & Sissy's home for our family vacation. The location is perfect with the calm Sound and sandy beach right out the back door and the beautiful Gulf just a 5 minute walk away. The kayaks, bikes, beach games are such an added bonus. We walked to the Gulf to shell and walk the Pier, and relaxed on our beach afternoons. The fully stocked kitchen and the green egg made it fun to make our own meals, but we also ate at some good spots such as Juana's Pagoda, Windjammers, CJ's Front Porch, Ye Old Brother's Brewery. We visited the Turtle Sanctuary, Fort Pickens and the Gulf Islands National Seashore, the Gulfarium, and Destin's Harborwalk. Since it was low season there were no crowds so a really relaxed vibe. Our only disappointment was that the pool was not heated - not under Mark's control. Don't pass up this great vacation home.

Wonderful stay at the "Semi-retired" vacation home

The description and guest reviews of this home are accurate. The owner was very responsive and helpful. The place was very nice with tons of amenities. Having a beach as the "back yard" was really nice. The sound was calm and ideal for floating, swimming, paddle boarding, etc. We used the owner supplied toys, kayaks, paddle board, etc. All were in great shape and easy to take to the water. We had 2 babies less than 2 years old, and it was an ideal place to introduce them to the water, because of the shallow and calm water. The neighborhood was very quiet. We loved sitting on the upper deck in the evenings watching the sunsets. There was a nice grocery store just a few miles away, as well as restaurants, We highly recommend this vacation rental.

A Week at the Beach

The only complaint we can make is the weather, which we realize no one can do anything about. Brief multiple thunderstorms made it necessary to get out of and back into the water frequently. The house was wonderful as always (we have stayed there before) and the beach and private pier set up for fishing was perfect. There was something for everyone, even us older people with bad knees with the new elevator.

My Favorite!!!

Our recent stay at 'Semi-Retired' Navarre vacation home was absolutely phenomenal! As first-time visitors to Navarre, we were a little unsure what to expect, but Mark ensured our trip was seamless and stress-free from the moment we booked until the day we left. His communication and attention to detail were outstanding.The home itself was a dream; everything was precisely as advertised, impeccably clean, and equipped with every amenity imaginable (and then some!). We truly felt right at home and had everything we needed and more for a perfect stay. This incredible experience has solidified 'Semi-Retired' as our new favorite vacation destination, and we simply can't wait to return! I highly recommend it for a stress-free and unforgettable vacation.P.S. Don't forget the golf cart!! Was definitely worth having!!

Everything You Need and Then Some

We loved staying at “Semi Retired”.The owner Mark has thought of everything from plenty of supplies to all the beach gear you would ever need available in the garage. Our family loved fishing off the pier, taking out the kayaks, grilling on the Green Egg and swinging on the porch swing. The golf cart available for rent was top notch and great for going to and from the beach. This was our 6th trip to Navarre Beach and by far our favorite house. Mark is a great host responding quickly to any questions. Thanks for sharing “Semi-Retired’ and we will be back.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Johnson

Host profile image
My wife and I have been vacationing in Navarre for 25 years and decided to buy this future retirement home in 2010. Since then, we have renovated every aspect of the property/home and continually upgrade and more recently: private Fishing Pier, new Elevator, Exterior Makeover and Pavers in Driveway. We are glad we can share our 2nd home with others so they can make family memories here, like the ones I have when my parents brought us to Navarre every summer.

Why they chose this property

We liked the fact that we could just walk out back and enjoy the sandy beach, fishing, etc w/o going anywhere as well as the great views from the back porch. So relaxing!

Many families that have experienced these features/perks have really appreciated them ands return year after year.

What makes this property unique

Elevator - EV Charger - Private Fishing Pier - Plethora of Toys/Games...the list goes on.
