The Drift Away

Summary:

The Drift Away is a 4BR, 4.5BA beachfront home in Navarre with Gulf views, private walkover, and easy access to the pier, dining, and Gulf Islands National Seashore.



The Space:

Welcome to The Drift Away, your luxurious beachfront sanctuary nestled along the pristine shores of Navarre Beach, where modern design meets the natural beauty of the Gulf Coast. This expansive four-bedroom, five-bathroom retreat offers over 3,000 square feet of coastal elegance and can comfortably host up to ten guests. With its sweeping Gulf views, private beach access, and endless amenities, The Drift Away is the perfect escape for families and friends seeking both relaxation and fun.



As you step inside, you’re greeted by a spacious open-concept living area that seamlessly connects to a fully equipped gourmet kitchen. Outfitted with an ice maker, Keurig, drip coffee maker, and high-end appliances, the kitchen is designed for both convenience and entertaining. Large windows flood the space with natural light, framing panoramic views of the emerald waters just beyond your doorstep.



The master suite is a true retreat, featuring two king beds, dual TVs, a private balcony overlooking the Gulf, and a luxurious ensuite bathroom. An elevator conveniently opens into the suite, providing easy access to all levels of the home. Three additional guest bedrooms each include a king bed, TV, and private bath, ensuring comfort and privacy for every member of your group.



Entertainment is at the heart of The Drift Away. Guests can enjoy classic arcade games, foosball, pool, and poker-style card games, or take the competition outside with oversized versions of Connect Four, checkers, and chess. After the fun, step outside to your private walkover and stroll directly onto the sugar-white sands of Navarre Beach, where the turquoise waters of the Gulf invite you to swim, paddleboard, or simply relax.



The Drift Away is ideally located less than two miles from the Gulf Islands National Seashore and the Navarre Beach Fishing Pier, the longest pier in the Gulf of Mexico. Local dining, shopping, and water adventures are all just minutes away, making it easy to immerse yourself in the charm and excitement of the Emerald Coast.



For your comfort and peace of mind, The Drift Away observes thoughtful guest policies. Guests must be 25 or older to book, and parties, events, smoking, fireworks, drugs, and pets are strictly prohibited. Quiet hours are observed from 10 PM to 8 AM, ensuring a restful atmosphere for all.

Wonderful house with an amazing view! Super clean and updated. I feel like the description doesn’t do it justice. The elevator was not listed in amenities, so after booking, it was a pleasant surprise when I reread the description. We also had use of beach chairs and umbrellas. It was absolutely perfect!

Great Winter Stay

Great location on the beach with private boardwalk access. Extremely clean, first rate quality throughout in construction, decor and furniture. Host is an excellent communicator, responds with a sense of urgency. Only suggestions are outdoor grill is old and could use an update. Exterior furniture cushions; no storage areas from rain.

My family and I really loved our stay here. The location is right on the beach and the home is phenomenal. Kristen was great to deal with and very responsive. The beach was wonderful with white sand and clear waters. They provided beach chairs and toys for the kids to play with. The home had all the amenities you would need to enjoy your stay. Very well organized and extremely clean. I can't believe we found this place. It was perfect.

Great Home for a Family Location

This property was everything I had hoped. Space downstairs was game was a hit with the kids (7, 11, 12 and 15 year old's). Property was very clean, well maintained and just a great location away from the condo's but not so far down the road that you feel like it takes forever to get to stores, food, etc. Kristina and Chris were great...we had a slight (our error) issue operating the elevator and they were both very responsive and got us straightened out. This was our first time at this house and Navarre Beach...we will be back!

FANTASTIC

Can't say enough about how spectacular this stay was for my family. The house itself is beautifully maintained, spacious and clean. It is steps from the beach . Kristina was attentive and very helpful. Will rent again for sure. If you are looking for a modern, clean, new, beach stay-this home is it. 5 stars.

Awesome family vacation experience!

We had a great time at Drift Away! Our family of 6 had room to spare. Everything was impeccably clean. We cooked every night and had everything we needed. We also grilled on the gas grill. There are plenty of places to relax on the porches and plenty for the kids to do under the house when they got tired of the beach. The chairs and umbrellas were perfect. Even on Memorial Day weekend we had plenty of privacy and room on the beach. We will definitely book again!

Perfection!!

Stayed at The Drift Away for 4 nigIhts for part of my honeymoon. It was just my husband and I so more house than we needed but being that it was out honeymoon I wanted to find someplace special. This house is it!!! Everything about it was easy. Communication with the owner. Access to the house. The home is BEAUTIFUL and has everything you could possibly need/want. From high end appliances, to codes for entry instead of keys, an elevator, beach chairs and umbrellas to use, lots of deck space and plenty of comfy patio furniture, dual rainfall shower heads in the master, king sized beds in every room as well as private bathrooms, etc etc etc. Not just the bigger details but all the way down to a new dishwashing liquid and a sponge! Wish we could have spent longer but hope to come back again one day...

Simply a great all around beach house that we will definitely return to with the whole family!
