EmilyRating, 5 stars2 days ago
We loved staying in this building, it is a much quieter end of Navarre (which is already a quieter beach) It was easy to get down to the beach quickly! We had a great visit and always love Navarre!!

Sylvia's Suite Dreams-kayak & paddleboard free

This place is not even described accurately through the photos. This is the best Airbnb we’ve ever been to! The ocean is totally accessible as well as kayaks, paddle boards, etc. You can swim with large fish, dolphins, sting rays, etc. The mini-home is right off of the yard and you are able to do anything you want from there. It’s clean and precise with all of the labels showing you how to work everything. All in all, an amazing visit! 100% recommend

*Waterfront Home w/Boat Dock, & Kayaks!

PamRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This was a great place for us - we had a wonderful time - it's centrally located and in a quiet neighborhood, on a canal where you can fish and trap crabs.... we just had so much fun sitting out and enjoying the deck and also watching the guys fish. Krystal was very gracious and was a great host. They have items you wouldn't normally have access to such as items for toddlers and children, which was nice so as to not have to travel with bulky items you will always need for a toddler. Our grandson LOVED being outside. We loved our time there, being able to visit with family at the house and in the Milton area. We definitely plan to rent again when in the area. Thank you for everything! It was a wonderful time.

The Ancker Boat House • Waterfront on the Bayou

AnaRating, 5 stars1 day ago
We absolutely loved our stay at the Ackerman Boat House! The home is beautiful, exceptionally clean, and very well-equipped with everything you could possibly need. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the house was stocked with all the essentials—plenty of toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, paper towels, dishwasher detergent, coffee, condiments, etc…,and a fully equipped kitchen with all the dishes and utensils we needed. The hosts, Derek and Marti, were very responsive and helpful throughout our stay, which made everything even more enjoyable. The toys provided were a huge hit with my grandkids and added an extra layer of fun to our trip. The fenced backyard gave us peace of mind while kids were playing and our pet was out. The house is located in a peaceful, quiet neighborhood—just perfect for relaxing and unwinding. We truly had nothing but good things to say about this stay. It exceeded our expectations in every way, and we will definitely be booking again!

Waterfront & Private, Sealife by Day/Starry Nights

GenevieveRating, 5 stars5 days ago
Nancy is a great host! 💫 The view was so nice especially to watch the very common occurrence of lighting! ⛈️ Just as an FYI, we didn't realize we'd be taking the toll road to Destin so keep that in mind ($4 each way). 🤑 The bed was new, but way too soft for my husband and I... Caused us to sink into each other and unfortunately, lead to uncomfortable/minimal sleep. 🫤 Lol we also didn't realize it's a sliding barn door to the bathroom so one of us would go outside to ensure privacy 🤫 We still really enjoyed our stay and leveraged MANY of our hosts recommendations from her guide book! 🤗

Waterfront - Beachfront Home (Destin) w/Hot tub!

JacquelynRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Randy’s place was amazing, and he was very responsive to all of our random questions. We live locally in the area, but had family and friends coming into town for our oldest son’s graduation, and Randy allowed us to host our son’s graduation party there. It was great being able to have most of our family and friends staying at the same location as our event. There was ample parking and plenty of space for everyone. My children range in age from 18 to 3, and they all had a good time. There was something for everyone; the hammocks were great for napping, and the slide was a lot of fun too. Overall, a 10/10 experience; we have definitely been recommending it to friends who have asked if it is a good place to stay when family comes to town.

Lake Here Beach Near Cottage between 2 beaches!

AliahRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We arrived late at night and she had someone keep the porch and kitchen lights on for when we arrived. In between two great beaches and had a nice local food truck area as well. Her place was exactly like the photos and in a quiet area. Worth every penny and would definitely stay again in the future !

Harbor Central Penthouse

NaoiseRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This penthouse is exactly as listed- it is the most perfect location, just a simple step from the boardwalk, meaning all nightlife and restaurants are right at your doorstep. The dock right below the balcony allows for many activities such as renting pontoons to be just a step away. A 10 minute drive from beautiful beaches, and easy to get anywhere like target or stores, because it’s right on the highway. It was perfect for our large group of 7, and the apartment was super clean. Ryan is very responsive and a great host. Would recommend this Airbnb, and Destin, to anyone! (And the beds and pillows are incredibly comfy!!!!!!!)
