The Space:

Welcome to Driftwood Cottage, a charming 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath coastal retreat located within By the Sea, one of Navarre Beach's most sought-after gated communities. Perfect for families and groups, this spacious getaway offers direct access to the calm waters of the Santa Rosa Sound and is just a short walk from the sugar-white sands and emerald waters of the Gulf.



Inside, you'll find a bright, open-concept living space designed for gathering and relaxing, along with a well-appointed kitchen featuring a large island, ample seating, and a Nespresso coffee maker. Thoughtful coastal décor, Smart TVs in every bedroom, and beautiful water views throughout the home create a comfortable and inviting atmosphere.



The home comfortably accommodates up to 13 guests with two king bedrooms, one queen bedroom, a full-over-full bunk room, and a twin-over-full bunk room.

Driftwood Cottage offers both sides of coastal life. Set on Navarre Beach—a narrow barrier island—it sits between the calm Santa Rosa Sound and the open Gulf of Mexico. Out the back gate, the Sound is shallow, glassy, and warm—perfect for kids, kayaking, and watching the sun melt into the waters. A short walk over the dune line brings you to the Gulf’s emerald water and sugar-white sand. Calm or waves, quiet or energy—you choose the beach to match your day.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great family vacation with our kids and Grandkids. We enjoyed the location and amenities. The host was responsive when asked questions about property. The beds were very comfortable and house was clean and had everything you needed. I wouldn’t go again only suggest putting some mirrors in bedroom we had so many people getting ready and a small mirror in bedroom would have been nice to put makeup on. Would love to know what kind of mattress was in king size master bedroom.

    Love the house and location. It was walking distance to the bay and ocean. We also enjoyed being able to drive the golf cart where needed. The kayaks and bikes were a great addition to the rental. We used them daily. The only issue we had were the amount of bathrooms. We had 3 families staying in the house and the 2.5 baths were challenging at times.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love this sound area, it's perfect for playing, and the provided paddle board added a new level of fun! The golf cart was great for taking to the public beach lots right down the road. And we caught some stingray and pufferfish right there in the bay! Would definitely return!

    Just what we needed! It was a great family vacation- plenty of breathtaking moments here! Amazing views - sunsets were amazing! Easy walk to private beach on the sound. Loved the pool and we took advantage of the golf cart to scoot around the island! The house was super clean and stayed cool. Not a bad room in the house! Laundry on the second floor was fantastic! Lots of closet space and plenty of bathrooms to go around. Kitchen was spacious and we appreciated the large dining table and seats at the bar top! Speaking of bar— the downstairs mini bar and grills was great! Seating for the sunsets and mini fridge for cold beverages! Smart tvs in every room made it easy to enjoy. The pool was awesome and relaxing! We also needed a cart during the stay, the management was super helpful and quick to respond to offer to bring one right over! We loved we could include our pug Daisy on the trip! And you will not regret renting for the sofa swing upstairs!!!! We will most definitely stay again and would definitely recommend Navarre Beach Rentals & staff!!

    Amazing location and accessibility to both the sound and ocean beach. Community pool was a great third option for the kids. House had a great kitchen and living room area and comfortably fit all guests. Another great vacation in Navarre Beach!

    The location was absolutely perfect! We loved the easy access to the sound beach area. Views were lovely. We could watch the sunset from the backyard. Short drive to the gulf beaches. We had 7 kids ranging 4-11. The backyard and bunk beds were a favorite for them. We would definitely stay again. House was clean and big enough for our whole family.

    This place was perfect for our family! Located on the intercoastal/sound was nice with our young grandchildren. They could play in the sand & by the calm water just steps from the house. It was a great place to try out the paddle board too. The house was movie set beautiful! With accommodations that suited our multi-generation family perfectly. The open concept kitchen/living was well appointed. A fully stocked kitchen made cooking our food easy. We used the lower outdoor kitchen too. The golf cart was newer and very nice to tool around in. The pool was cold, but we expected that. The hot tub was nice, warm & clean. Everyone was sad to leave. Thank you!
