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.

Very nice property and good communication from the property management team. The floors were a little dirty but we noticed mainly because we have a toddler who crawls around and picks up anything he sees. Overall the property was clean and well put together. The beds were c

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!

Great view, cozy home
The house had everything we needed for our stay. We loved that it was so close to the beach and that it wasn't as crowded as Crystal Beach or taking the ferry to the Seawall. I would stay here again in the future.

Amazing Place
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.

Memorial Day stay
Property was in a nice neighborhood with good neighbors. The home was in a good location and as described. My family had an excellent time and enjoyed our stay at this home very much. There are issues with whomever the owner has cleaning this property. There was trash left in the bathroom trash container, a drawer in the master bath was full of hair, dinner plates and pans were put away in cabinets dirty, and we found an xbox controller under one of the beds from a previous renter. Owner does respond to messags and would definitely rent this property again.
