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!

Excellent house
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.

Enjoyed our stay
Cute house with a lot of charm and unexpected little extras (spa type robes and slippers, great smelling soaps, lotions, shampoo) that were nice. Location was close to good restaurants and close to downtown. Host was very responsive and helpful with restaurant suggestions and other information about the area. Only negative was that the shared pool felt a little awkward for us as the other guests ( who rented the two cottages) were basically right outside the master bedroom.

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. ♥️

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!
