Beach living and luxury – need we say more?  

Dear Mom...Thank You

“Some are kissing mothers and some are scolding mothers but it is love just the same, and most mothers kiss and scold together.” Pearl S. Buck

We are thankful for the women in our lives who make a world of difference. Mother is our first teacher, teaching us how to face the world around us. Mother is the one who nurtures us when we are young, teaches us right from wrong, and guides us to be people of nobility with her sacrificial life. 

 “All I am or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother,” Abraham Lincoln once said about his step-mother who had come into his life as young boy. She taught him to read as he didn’t have the opportunity to always attend school as he helped his father manage their farm. But he went on to be a soldier, a lawyer, a man with convictions running for office. He faced failure but was persistent. He became the leader of the US during a tumultuous time known as the Civil War.  And he made a lasting legacy not just because he became a President, but because his life is a tribute to the woman who encouraged him to be a noble man.

“The mother loves her child most divinely not when she surrounds him with comfort and anticipates his wants, but when she resolutely holds him to the highest standards and is content with nothing less than his best,” Hamilton Wright Mabie once wrote. 

This Mother’s Day – amid the hustle and bustles of cards, flowers and brunch, remember all the efforts that go unsung for the woman who loves tirelessly. Happy Mother’s Day.

Late Spring But Summer is on the Way!!!

May is here and it is the perfect weather for hitting the beach. Enjoy the milder warmer weather that precedes the hot summer months of June and July.

For the Month of May the Navarre Area has the Sunset Stampede 5K, Mother's Day and Memorial Day to look forward to.

We are already filling up for Memorial Day weekend, but keep in mind Mom may want a nice beach escape for a weekend too on Sunday, May 13. (Just a reminder it is Mother's Day.)

With the lower Late Spring Rates and the availability as school is still in session, plan a weekend for Mom to take it easy and relax with Navarre Vacation Rentals.
