We stayed here for the Palm Beach boat show and it was amazing! Super close to everything, including fabulous restaurants, water, etc. The house was super clean and well stocked. Already looking into renting next year.
Katie and team were so amazing during our stay. There was a slight issue with the freezer and she was on it immediately. The place was clean and perfect for our family or a weekend away with some adults.-Sam
I booked this listing for a Bachelorette party and trust me when I say this is the perfect property for any girls trip, get away or family vacation. The property was even better than the photos which is hard to do. It is in a great and safe area. All my communications with the host when booking, to check in and check out were seamless and they responded very quickly. The house and the backyard are stunning. I will definitely be staying here anytime I come back to Palm Beach. Highly recommend!
The property is nicely decorated; we had all the things we needed in the kitchen. Towels were plentiful and the property manager was very accessible and pleasant.
House not as well kept up as when we stayed 2 years ago, came back because we liked house a lot.
Ice maker broken whole month as was fridge handle.
Lights flickered in house
Pool motor broke
Mold and mildew
Attachments for curtains outside fell apart
Dishwasher works but cutlery holders are rickety and inexpensive given the price of the house
We enjoyed our stay. Excellent location, clean, comfortable beds and communication with Tori (property manager) was great. Only negative is I would say its really more of a 4 bedroom than a 5.
Adorable, well-stocked, convenient home great for a group
This house is so, so cute. Gives an old-Florida vibe, but is updated with the latest technology. The decor is Instagram-ready, and thoughtful touches are everywhere - dimmer switches on all the lamps; iron, clothes steamers, big closets; bathrooms are really nicely finished (and the primary suite bath is HUGE); enough dishes and glasses to entertain; a gajillion towels (including black towels for makeup removal!). Our multigenerational group stayed there for our daughter's wedding at the Norton and it could not have served our purposes better - room to comfortably host 9 bridesmaids and a team of hair/makeup artists for the long "get-ready" day (and the most perfect cabana to stage pics in). The pool is awesome - small but so beautifully landscaped. The pool house is so adorable I wanted to move in. Perfect for a couple. There are so many indoor and outdoor spaces to sit and have a quiet moment, or gather with friends and family. I am already making plans to book this house for my girls' weekend next April. All systems worked perfectly. We had some guests who couldn't get the app to work that controls the front door lock, and the owners instantly responded every time. Check-out process clearly explained and easily handled. Walk to Norton Museum, the WPB design district, many cute cafes. I would give this a 15/10 rating :)
Absolutely AWESOME property in every way.....very clean with an incredible floor plan and wonderful location. The manager was responsive and accommodating. I highly recommend this house for a wonderful time in Palm Beach.
The house was charming, the pool area exquisite and the kitchen very well appointed for gourmet cooking. Our family used every inch of the property snd everyone loved it.
The property was a cute and cozy home to just get away. Pool space was great and enjoyable for the whole family. Catherine was awesome to work with and responsive.
Had a wonderful visit to this super cute property. Mixed group of me; single female 40 and my besties and their families. 5 adults, 4 kids. We had plenty of room for everyone. Especially liked the guest cottage I got to escape to. The kids had a blast in the pool even after a full day at her beach. The outdoor shower is a wonderful touch. We grilled out 2 of the nights. Plenty of towels/linens - everything we could have asked for to make our vacation fun and relaxing
