Snowbird - a species that flies South every winter to enjoy the Florida Sunshine and milder winter temps. Who stay busy with other Snowbirds playing in the heated pools, or golfing on the Florida golf courses.

Today the Navarre Chamber of Commerce is having a special event for the Snowbirds! From 2-4 pm, they are hosting an open house where other local businesses come to meet and greet with the visiting snowbirds offering Freebies and food. Also, Door Prizes will be given away through the course of the day.

So don't miss out on the fun - drop by the Chamber today.

The Storm Isaac and NVR Precautions....

Navarre on a regular rainy afternoon.

Here at Navarre Beach we are in the process of preparing our properties for the possibility of Isaac hitting our shores come the early part of next week.

At this time we are not taking anymore reservations until next Wed. Aug. 29.   We are closely monitoring the storm and its prospective paths.

For our guests who have reservations, we will contact you regarding your reservations if this storm does develop and come our way for Labor Day.

Thank you for your support of Navarre Vacation Rentals, and hopefully we will see you soon.

Happy Independence Day!!!

 In 1776 these words were written and agreed to as a course of action...

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security….

…We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” – Declaration of Independence

And with the last sentence, the signers of the declaration put their all on the line for a nation to be formed. And with seeking the Supreme Judge of the World, these founders took a stand to establish a secure government guided by the Bible as the standard of moral laws, and with their stand a nation was created that allowed men to feel free from the oppression of government overstepping its bounds as the King of England had done. To be a nation with individuals which are free to create a life for one self and a future for one’s family. 

Through the years the United States has not always been perfect, but by the system these founders established people of all creeds are allowed opportunity and protection. Our constitution has endured while those of other nations like France and Italy have been rewritten time and time again. 

Amidst the cookouts, flag waving and fireworks, we can give thanks for the freedoms as individuals we have the pleasure of knowing. Happy Independence Day.
