This was our first time staying in Navarre. One thing you need to know about this location is that you are pretty much on an island with one very small, always congested 2 way traffic bridge as your only means of entering and exiting area. Why this isn't mentioned in the listing is beyond me. Furthermore, none of the 5 star reviews do either. I spoke with 3 different individuals who live nearby and they ALL stated this is a known problem. Now let's talk about the house. The pictures are carefully angled and taken in a manner to misrepresent the overall condition of the property. Besides being right across the street from the beach, there is definitely no reason for the daily rate to be so high. The entire house was halfway updated. There were patches of mismatched paint throughout. The stair banister was partially painted white over the original wood look color with latex wall paint. There was a substantial, poorly completed roof patch on the ceiling in one of the bedrooms. The bathrooms are extremely outdated. One of the shower floors literally had duct tape covering a crack! The light fixtures were old and the existing lightbulbs were dim if they worked at all. Outside, as you walk, you can feel the boards beneath you moving. The metal rail on the right side of the house looking from the street is so loose, you can jingle it with one finger. A child is going to end up falling off. The door handle was so loose it was about to come off. The location was good, beach beautiful.
