Dream location! So clean and spacious, and gracious host!

We had the best time staying at this house near the beach. It was so convenient, literally down the road from major beaches, and so many shops and restaurants near by! Our six year old daughter had a blast just running around the house and our bunny had the time of her life in the fenced in backyard. The shower had the best water pressure, and just what I needed after the long drive down in the rain. Thank you so much for hosting us and making our first trip to Navarre so wonderful! )

much needed vacation

This was our first vacation in 17 years! we booked it months before and due to uncontrolled circumstances had to push our date out by another month. The owners were very accommodating and made it happen that was a blessing because our original dates they had snow. We traveled with our 2 dogs and when we got to the house we were very pleased. it was very clean and we loved the layout, our dogs liked the fenced in back yard as did we. The only suggestion i could make was maybe have a couple of lounge chairs to do some sunning. The house is close to the things you want to do,and a lot of restaurants Our favorites were east bay crab house and andy D's. we were sad to leave but the drive back to wisconsin was calling, we look forward to hopefully coming back next year for a longer time.

Cozy House, Great Location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Palm Cottage. The house is well maintained and was very clean. We enjoyed all the little things like having plenty of silverware, items and utensils for cooking(although we did not cook or use the stove), spices and teas and plenty of dishes. The scavenger hunt was a fun touch to our stay. The bedrooms are nice and spacious and the bathrooms were plenty big enough for four people to stay here and not feel cramped. The A/C held temps well even in the intense Florida summer heat. We enjoyed the refrigerator having filtered water and ice as we do at home. This allowed us to take clean water to the beach in our bottles instead of buying a bunch of disposable bottles. Lovely back yard and hot tub although we didnt use either. Super easy check in and out and great communication with the owner.

The perfect beach cottage

Everything about this house was perfect! All the little touches from the well-equipped kitchen to the comfortable beds made our stay perfect. The neighborhood was quiet and in a location that made it easy to avoid traffic and still get to the beach quickly. It was a perfect choice for us. We will be booking this one again!

The house was great. It was well decorated, with little things that made it stand out. There is a sandy area in the back with a firepit, and a hot tub near the backdoor. The beds were very comfortable & check is was extremely easy. It was close to everything I wanted and the roads in the neighborhood run parallel to the main highway. I loved this as it allowed me to circumvent any traffic on the highway. I cannot say enough about this place. I will be renting this property again when I return to Nevarre.

Winter Getaway

My wife and I have visited Navarre each of the last 3 years. On this visit it was mostly the 2 of us and our 2 Brittanie’s. Two of our children and their spouses paid us short visits on separate dates. The house and property were exactly as advertised. The owner/host was extremely responsive to any and all inquiries. The kitchen was especially well equipped and user-friendly. The master bedroom was spacious and comfortable. The second and third bedrooms were both quite small, so having more than two 2 additional people staying for any length of time might a bit crowded. The fenced yard was perfect for our two dogs. We made good use of the gas grill provided with the property. Bike riding in the neighborhood was a daily activity. There is a golf course within 10 minutes drive from the property. We enjoyed the scavenger hunt the owner set up. We stayed for three weeks for the better part of March. We had some rainy days and the temperatures were a little on the cool side, but there was no snow or ice to remove!

Loved Palm Cottage

Palm Cottage was the perfect place for our month long stay. Kim & Eric are thoughtful, friendly hosts who want their guests to have a great experience. The house is cute and comfortable. Very clean, and nicely appointed for adults as well as children. If we visited the area again, we would definitely stay here again.

Perfect for winter getaway

The house is in a very convenient location to things we are use to having. So close to getting over to the water as well. We meet friends yearly in the Navarre area and the property was like hosting in our own home. The house is well appointed and we felt very comfortable there. Would recommend highly. Great for a couple or a family of 4 to 6 even. Our dog enjoyed the enclosed backyard. We felt very safe there as well.

About the host

Hosted by Kim Jensen

Host profile image
We moved here from Sonoma County, CA, in 2019 and just love being on the Emerald Coast! The water here is absolutely gorgeous!

Why they chose this property

This property is a very short distance from the beach, only 1.9 miles. That's a 5-minute drive, an 11-minute bike ride, or a 30 minute walk (don't walk with children due to crossing traffic). Yet you're completely tucked away from all of the beach crowds in a safe, quiet neighborhood where residents walk their dogs, and kids ride their bikes in the late afternoon. You can access grocery stores and restaurants via backroads. You're only a three-block walk south to a selection of food trucks and the local coffee shop.

What makes this property unique

Palm Cottage comes with its own scavenger hunt! Instructions provided in the Welcome Binder in the unit.
