Nice Home

The property is nice. It looks a little worn on the outside but the inside is in very good condition. We rent from VRBO a lot and have in many places throughout the US. I will say that the kitchen in my opinion was bare bones as far as those little helpful items so many owners provide. No foil, no kitchen hand towels, bare minimum toilet paper and trash bags for example. The ice maker didn’t work. The mattresses were VERY uncomfortable, the sheets etc were very cheap, flat pillows, no lamps, only maybe 4 hangers for all 3 closets etc and as I get they have to watch this due to this being a rental, sometimes it is the little things that make it comfortable or not. Kitchen cabinets are a bit worse for wear on paint. The blinds in the bedrooms are not quite big enough and old so you get a lot of light streaming in. Dining chairs are stained with holes. Would suggest a light switch at the bottom of the stairs for safety. Lots of potential to be very very nice with a little extra TLC. Good quiet neighborhood. Great location. I asked a question before arrival and it was answered immediately. Good clear instructions sent before arrival. AC worked great. Good water pressure. We ran into the cleaners upon arrival and they were very courteous. Overall a nice stay. Would I stay again? Maybe. If they did a few tweaks, yes, but for this price point I might choose to stay somewhere else.

Weekend Stay

Great location and great view! The house is updated and very clean. 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The sofas and chairs were very comfortable. You will need to bring your own bath soap and shampoo/conditioner. We attended a wedding nearby and could have used an iron and ironing board, but understandably most guests wouldn't need one. Overall a nice and comfortable stay.

Mosquitoes

We were to check in at 3pm and arrived at 345 only to have to wait for the cleaning staff to finish cleaning. The coffee pot did not work and there was limited toilet paper. The home was clean (we were witness to that) but there was litter in the side yard and streets. Very unappealing. The door was very difficult to lock and tried calling and couldn’t get in touch with anyone so someone had to stay there most of the time. But the mosquitoes were horrendous! There was a citronella candle but no lighter. We don’t smoke. It was a lovely home on the bright side.

Clean Home and Quiet/Friendly Neighborhood

Well maintained home - appeared fresh and clean. Nice open floor plan. We had a total of four adults (two couples), and it was perfect. The kitchen was well organized with everything we needed. We cooked breakfast and had coffee on the deck. Cooked burgers on the charcoal grill, and ate at the picnic table downstairs. Bug spray was a must, but we didn't mind. Very pleasant outdoors. We brought our bicycles, and road through the neighborhood streets, and passed only a few vehicles and golf carts. We also took a short bike ride to the ocean a couple of times - very close. We watched others walk to the beach. The neighborhood was quiet and friendly, and it felt safe. We would most definitely book again!

We wanted a quick getaway before the busy fall starts. I found this house and it was perfect! Check-in was super easy because we received a very informative email after booking. The house is super roomy, clean and so close to the beach. The host responds quickly by email. We will be returning to Palm Villa!

Wonderful!

This house had everything we needed, and was in a perfect spot! This was one of the first times we’ve been able to see and hear the waves from the front porch of a rental, because we haven’t ever been on the front row. Even though this property isn’t right on the beach, its location is just right so that there’s a small but clear unobstructed view to the water. Not only that, it’s a short walk, drive, or golf cart ride to the nearest beach entrance. The house was clean, decorated very tastefully, and was well stocked with household essentials. We loved our stay, and would love to return again.
