What Amenities Are Included in Holley by the Sea?

Holley by the Sea has one of the more extensive community recreation packages buyers will find around Navarre.

According to the Holley by the Sea Improvement Association’s current facilities page, residents with eligible amenity access can use three swimming pools, eight clay tennis courts, fitness facilities, sports courts, a ball field, event space, camping facilities, and youth programs. The association says its recreation center covers 48 acres.

So if you are comparing Holley by the Sea with a neighborhood that has a pool, a gazebo, and one lonely treadmill, this is a slightly different animal.

Quick Look: Holley by the Sea Amenities

The association’s current public facilities page lists all of these amenities.

1. Three Different Swimming Pools

Holley by the Sea currently lists:

• A lap pool
• A family pool
• A baby pool

That setup can be useful because the pools serve different types of recreation instead of trying to make one pool do everything.

For buyers who actually swim for exercise, have younger children, or simply want a community pool without maintaining one in the backyard, the pool package can be a meaningful part of the HOA value.

2. Eight Clay Tennis Courts

The association currently lists eight clay tennis courts.

That is a substantial tennis setup for a residential community and one of the amenities that helps Holley by the Sea stand out from smaller Navarre subdivisions.

If tennis is important to you, it is worth visiting the facility in person before buying so you can see the courts, usage levels, and current rules for yourself.

3. Weight Room And Cardio Facilities

Residents with amenity access also have use of a full weight room and cardio facilities.

That can change the math a little for buyers who would otherwise pay separately for a gym membership.

Of course, whether it saves you money depends on whether you actually use it. Paying HOA dues and then driving past the gym for three years does technically count as supporting community fitness. It just does not improve yours.

4. Basketball, Volleyball And A Ball Field

The current official facility list includes:

• Basketball court
• Volleyball court
• Ball field

These facilities give residents more recreation options beyond swimming and tennis, particularly for households that want outdoor sports close to home.

5. Beach House Event Hall

Holley by the Sea also lists a Beach House event hall as one of its community facilities.

For buyers who like having community gathering or event space available, this is another feature worth asking about.

Before assuming an event space is automatically free to use, buyers should confirm current reservation requirements, availability, deposits, or additional fees directly with the association.

6. RV And Tent Camping

This one surprises a lot of buyers.

The current association facilities page lists:

• 10 back-in RV sites
• 6 tent sites

That gives qualifying residents another recreational option without having to leave the community for every camping weekend.

Buyers should verify current reservation rules, guest policies, lengths of stay, and any usage charges before assuming how the campground can be used.

7. Youth Programs

Holley by the Sea’s Youth Department currently advertises:

• Before-school care
• After-school care
• Summer camp

This is different from simply having physical amenities like pools and courts. It adds organized programming to the community recreation package.

Parents should contact the association directly for current enrollment, schedules, eligibility, availability, and program costs.

Who Can Use The Holley by the Sea Amenities?

This is important.

Holley by the Sea states that its community facilities are private. Common-area access requires owning property within Holley by the Sea or renting a home where the owner has transferred their amenity rights to the renter.

The association specifically says that it does not sell memberships to the general public.

So buying nearby does not automatically give you access.

The property and its association rights matter.

What Are The Current Recreation Center Hours?

The association currently posts these regular recreation center hours:

The pool, courts, and basketball areas close 15 minutes before the facility itself closes. Holiday schedules can be different.

Because hours and operating rules can change, buyers should check the association’s current information rather than relying on an old listing description.

What About The HOA Dues?

Holley by the Sea says association dues are paid annually, but its current public homepage directs owners and buyers to contact the main office for the current year’s amount rather than publishing a fixed figure there.

That is the better approach for buyers anyway.

Before purchasing, verify:

• Current annual assessment
• Any transfer or new-owner fees
• Current special assessments, if any
• Amenity-access requirements
• Facility reservation fees
• Youth-program fees
• Campground charges
• Current rules and restrictions
• Estoppel information for the specific property

Do not rely on an old MLS listing for the current HOA bill. HOA numbers have a habit of aging about as gracefully as milk in a July garage.

Are The Golf Course And Every Waterfront Feature Included?

This is an area where buyers should be careful.

You may see older association material and real estate listings mentioning additional Holley by the Sea features such as waterfront recreation, a fishing pier, playground, boat access, pickleball, sauna or steam facilities, and other recreation features. Current 2026 real estate listings still reference several of these amenities.

However, the association’s current public Facilities page does not presently enumerate all of those features. Its current published list specifically identifies the pools, eight clay courts, fitness facilities, basketball, volleyball, ball field, Beach House, campground, and youth programming.

For that reason, buyers should verify the current status, access rules, fees, and availability of any amenity that is important to the purchase directly with Holley by the Sea before relying on an MLS description or older brochure.

That is especially important if boat access, waterfront amenities, pickleball, or a particular recreation feature is one of the reasons you are choosing the neighborhood.

Is Holley by the Sea Worth It For The Amenities?

It depends on how you plan to live.

Holley by the Sea may be a strong fit if you expect to regularly use:

• Pools
• Tennis
• Fitness facilities
• Basketball or volleyball
• Youth programming
• Community event space
• Camping facilities

It may be less appealing if you prefer a community with no HOA, do not expect to use shared recreation facilities, or want to live directly on Navarre Beach rather than on the mainland.

The important question is not whether Holley by the Sea has a lot of amenities.

It clearly does.

The better question is:

Will your household use them enough for the community structure to make sense for you?
