Skyview Penthouse | Gulf-Front End Unit | Beach Chairs | Panoramic Views ☀️

My expectations of a penthouse were quite higher than what we walked in on arrival. This is not on the top floor. The cleaning was sub par. There were handprints on windows and balcony door from previous renters. And there were no cleaning products available to clean the windows. Instead we purchased cleaner and left it so other guests may also get to use if needed. There was dried food on multiple utensils and bowls in cabinets upon arrival. Black buildup under shower doors. Also there was iron but no ironing board available. As we were departing an employee was cleaning an elevator therefore most guests at peak check out time only had two elevators instead of three which slowed down the checkout process. I would recommend cleaning of elevators not take place during peak check out check in times. During our stay there were several rainstorms. I know not uncommon for Florida, however the issue was the standing water on the balcony with black mold. We also cleaned this while we were there. We traveled with young children and did not want them slipping/falling due to standing water. Multiple broken items: pantry door, and can opener and vinyl peeling away from cabinets in kitchen. Also recommend a new coat of paint as there multiple scraps and markings on walls. We enjoyed our stay at the beach but doubt we will be returning to this unit.

Overall nice place to stay. There was an issue with the door handle on the sliding door from the living area to the balcony that did become a slight inconvenience as the handle came completely off the door. I reported on very first evening and was told they were sending maintenance next day. They never did come. The view is nice, albeit quite a ways from the beach.

The views were out of this world. So beautiful. Beach is one of,if not the, prettiest I.ve ever been one and I've been on quite a few.

Having two king beds really was a plus. The view was amazing!

Good beds, good linens, nicely decorated

Condo was great. Always love staying at Navarre beach. The building had balcony work going on the entire time we stayed and the drilling and power washing all day was annoying. Although they told us there wouldn't be anyone in the condo, they did come through the unit one day. The condo is non smoking, but it did smell like cigarettes.

The views are spectacular and the condo is spacious and very clean. It has plenty amenities for cooking and for the guys, it has a huge 80” flat screen for watching games and the AC keeps it very cold. Plenty room for my family of 5 with 3 bedrooms. One item of note in October 2025 is there is construction going on that wasn’t disclosed until 10 mins before check in time so their is scaffolding outside the balcony and we had workers on our balcony at 8am each morning and other times throughout the day which was a bit of a disappointment as my wife enjoys drinking coffee outside in the mornings. Just something to be aware of if you are booking in the near term. Otherwise, you won’t be disappointed with the condo and location.

Five friends and I had a wonderful,relaxing stay for four days here. Everything was as described. The whole property was clean and felt safe. The condo has breathtaking views and nearby restaurants made it easy to bring in food so we didn’t have to “go out”. We give it a 10!

We love staying at Beach Colony!

First time and won’t be the last. Very clean property, staff communicated well and floor plan laid out perfectly with great visibility outside.

Would absolutely not recommend this property. The listing says “penthouse” and you are certainly paying a premium for this however you are not on the top floor. Drawers in the bathroom had hair in them. The bed in one of the bedrooms literally had BLOOD on the linens still (appeared that someone had menstruated in the sheets) and were not changed, just re made—we had to wait quite a while for someone to come change these. Bathroom floors had excrement around the toilet plunger/brush. Elevators had dog feces in the floor which the dog owners did not bother cleaning up. One night someone threw a watermelon off the building onto the parking deck (hopefully didn’t hit a car!). The parking deck is cramped and difficult to navigate if you drive anything larger than a compact car. I requested just my room number ahead of time (not even the access codes) so that my family who was staying in the same building would know where we were and management refused to provide this—interestingly my family who was staying in the same building was provided this information days ahead of time. Given what I realized after arriving, likely this is because what is advertised as a “penthouse” is on the 18th floor and not the top (19th) floor, where there are more rooms. The one positive of this place is the location but was not even vaguely worth the rest of the issues.

I’d recommend this unit to folks with one exception and it’s not the fault of the condo’s owner. The property in front of the unit has bright flood lights pointing at the top of the building. It makes it unbearable to sit on the balcony at night. It’s like having a flashlight shining in your eyes. It also affects the overall brightness in the penthouse. It’s incredibly unfortunate because that’s where we would have liked to spend our evenings.

Stayed here the last week of February, everything was as advertised and pictures were accurate. There were just a few minor issues but nothing that would keep me from coming back. We had a few issues with the TV and WiFi in the living room, after coming in from golfing all day we had trouble getting the TV to work on a couple of evenings. That’s really the only complaint I had, and the rental company was quick to respond with solutions to try. Overall we had an excellent stay

My family and truly enjoyed staying in this unit at The Beach Colony West Resort! We had a great time and looking forward to returning next Fall. The unit was very clean and met all expectations! We would highly recommend staying here!
