The Best Places to Stay in Navarre Beach Florida
Here are the best places to stay in Navarre Beach Florida. Our family loves Navarre Beach! At one point, we were actively looking at houses in the area but ultimately it was too “cold” for us so we stayed in South Florida.
Navarre Beach is a bit of a hidden gem between Pensacola and Destin, Florida. When you’re done here, check out the 20 best things to do in Navarre with kids.
Are you flying into Florida? Get a cheap rental car!
You’ll need a rental car unless you’re driving to Navarre Beach. I recommend renting a car from Discount USA Car Rental.
Whenever I need to rent a car, I use Discount USA Car Rental; you can use it at all major Florida airports (and even most of the smaller ones like Pensacola and Destin) and rent from large companies such as Hertz, Enterprise, Alamo, etc., at discounted prices.
Why Stay in Navarre Florida
Navarre is located in the northwest Florida Panhandle. Navarre is a bit of a hidden gem between Pensacola and Destin’s more popular areas. If you want something a bit more laid back with beautiful beaches, Navarre Beach is the place!
Now, let’s get to the best places to stay in Navarre Beach Florida. Just keep in mind that there aren’t many hotels in Navarre Beach, Florida!
Best Western Navarre Waterfront
Best Western Navarre Waterfront is one of the best places to stay in Navarre Beach Florida. Many of the rooms at this hotel look out over the Santa Rosa Sound.
This hotel is only a few miles from Gulf Islands National Seashore and a mile from the Navarre Beach area.
You may also want to walk along the Navarre Beach Pier during your visit to Navarre Beach. This is the longest pier in the Gulf of Mexico.
SpringHill Suites by Marriott Navarre Beach
SpringHill Suites by Marriott is a beautiful hotel located directly on the Gulf of Mexico. It is one of the best hotels in Navarre and on the Gulf Coast. We love it so much that we’ve stayed multiple times and even have a blog post all about it: SpringHill Suites by Marriott Navarre Beach Review,
Each suite at this beachfront hotel offers plenty of space for relaxing and sleeping. A free breakfast is offered every morning to guests.
The on-site restaurant is an excellent place to grab a meal. This hotel even has a lazy river and zero-entry pool.
Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Navarre Conference Center
Your family will love the spacious rooms and suites at this Navarre hotel. The family-friendly environment is perfect for when you are not at the beautiful beaches or exploring.
Each room at Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham has a flat-screen television and free wifi.
Hampton Inn & Suites Navarre
Hampton Inn & Suites in Navarre can be found between Pensacola and Fort Walton Beach. Navarre Beach Sea Turtle Conservation Center and Navarre Beach Fishing Pier are only 4 miles away. This is an excellent place to learn about the sea turtles in the area.
Unwind in Navarre
If you are searching for a Navarre Beach hotel, consider Unwind at Navarre. This hotel is in a perfect location.
This is one of the best places to stay in Navarre if you want to see attractions in Pensacola. Historic Pensacola Village and Pensacola Historical Museum are only 30 minutes away.
Summerwind Resort
If you are searching for more of a resort setting for your family vacation, I recommend Summerwind Resort. This resort is located directly on Navarre Beach. Which, as I mentioned above, is in Florida’s Panhandle.
When the Blue Angels fly, this is also the best place to stay in Navarre, Florida. This resort is close to the Eglin AFB. And you can see the planes in the air from the property. That makes it a great spot when you plan your vacation accordingly.
The beach service is one of the best things about renting at this resort. You get two beach chairs and an umbrella if you stay between March and October. There is a fee for this service. However, it is worth it for the convenience.
VRBO Vacation Rental
You don’t need to be stuck in a hotel when you choose to take a family vacation in Navarre. Some of the best places to stay in Navarre Florida are VRBO Vacation Rentals.
Some of the homes for rent are right on the white-sand beaches. You may find that the prices for one of these Navarre beach homes are comparable to what you would spend at a hotel for the week.
If you are searching for the perfect vacation rental, head to VRBO and start searching for the Navarre beach rentals with an excellent star rating.
I do urge you to be cautious with any personally owned vacation rentals, as I’ve had very bad experiences. Make sure you only choose rentals with great reviews and plenty of them. Even then, rentals can be sold, so do your best to sort through and find the best option for your family.
Navarre Towers
Another option for Florida vacation rentals is Navarre Towers. You will sometimes find these beach rentals on VRBO.
The best places to stay in Navarre Beach Florida
You don’t have as many options for the best places to stay in Navarre Beach Florida as you do in Destin or Pensacola, but I think you’ll see why Navarre Beach is such a hidden gem when you visit!
