"This property is a jewel! We enjoyed every minute of it! Families will enjoy the pool and easy beach access. Couples and singles are made to feel welcome and safe. We loved sitting on the stools at the end of the beach walkway to watch the sunset and the sunrise. The bar and restaurant were superb with excellent food, spirits, and services. Check-in was seamless. Parking area was under the building, well-lit, and accessible. Our room was quiet, clean, and well appointed. This place is a little piece of paradise in busy Fort Walton Beach. We will be back!"

Navarre Beach Camping Resort

8/10 Good

"This resort is super cute! We stayed in one of the cabins and were overall happy with our accommodations. Our toilet did run on & off through the night, and our A/C unit was very loud when it turned on - so sleeping was definitely a problem; but those were our only complaints. The private pier and sitting area by the water was beautiful and we enjoyed our nights out there."
