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!

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.

Overall good.
Guest contact was difficult to reach. None of the phone numbers in the onsite guest book were correct. Only number correct was from email confirmation of booking. Guest contact was also very slow to respond. Called multiple times and received no answer. Also voicemail was not configured so couldn't leave messages. Had to rely on text message and she was super slow to respond. Ranged from 15 min to an hour or more for a text response. Suggest updating the guest book with accurate information. Otherwise, house and stay was very good.
