We loved our stay. The home has everything you need to have a wonderful stay. We grilled on the first night, cooked on the second night and enjoyed the pool everyday. Just a wonderful get away and perfect spot to visit students at Palm Beach Atlantic University.

Beautiful house in a quaint neighborhood. There are 2 other tiny houses on the property where other guests were staying and we shared the outdoor spaces. We happened to enjoy those guests-so we had a laughing good time with them:)) Ferney (owner) was wonderful! He responded promptly to my texts. Issues were small and not even worth mentioning. I highly recommend!

We needed to evacuate our home in Clearwater when hurricane Milton hit. We found this property on vrbo and grabbed it. Our original booking needed to increase by two days (one on the front end and one in the back) and our host graciously allowed us to add these days with no issues. There was also some weather here during our stay and the host was extremely communicative. I recommend this property 10/10!

We loved the house and the property. It is older but well maintained and beautifully decorated. The pool is very nice to. Very close to the airport but not as close to the beach as we hoped. Lovely home and great customer service - would love to visit again.
