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!

Ferney and skip were great hosts. I had a problem with the bbq and it was replaced the next day. The kitchen and bathroom are well stocked. We hosted family for dinner on multiple occasions.

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. ♥️
