Very pleasant stay

Our family really enjoyed our stay here. It is centrally located nicely between the West Palm beach downtown and also Rivera Beach/Singer Island. Very cozy and quaint place located in a nice quiet neighborhood. If ever coming back to this area, we will definitely try to stay at this VRBO listing again.

Sweet Getaway in a lovely historic, West Palm neighborhood

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!

Get away from Milton

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!

Not safe, haunted

Hi, I stayed at this house for only 2 days of the 6 days I booked. This listing is portrayed as a private residence which it is not. Random people were on and off of the property without notification - one even saw me naked through the bedroom sliding door. I was also informed 2 days in that a party of 10 were going to be staying in the shack next to the pool for the weekend (again, the pool deck looks directly into the bedroom sliding glass door). Many of our items were moved when we were away from the house and multiple doors opened and closed while we were laying down in bed at night. The owner and VRBO have been “working” on my refund for over a week. My recommendation: book a through another platform or better yet, check out the hotels in the palm beach area. Vrbo has been such a headache to work with for the refund and cannot be bothered to be concerned with guest safety.

This is a 1930-era, white stucco, red tiled roof bungalow (at one point a former school) with a pool and beautifully landscaped grounds in a quiet, historic neighborhood north of downtown West Palm Beach. There is plenty of room, with 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, living room, dining room, kitchen, and a small den. The place has lots of character and is well-maintained. Being in a residential area, is a bit of a walk from the home to anything commercial such as restaurants, so one should plan to have a car or to Uber to most places. The (remote) host was quick to respond to questions. Recommended!

Beautiful property!

My husband, daughter and I enjoyed our stay in West Palm. This property is close to Palm Beach Atlantic University where our daughter goes to college. Old world charm, this house has so much character. But the back yard is the best part! So many beautiful trees and plants around the pool made it a beautiful oasis for us to relax and enjoy our time away. We will definitely be back when we visit our daughter again. ♥️
