The condo had a great location but is definitely due for a renovation and a deep clean.
Excellent Location and property. My only issue was with the locks. The code did not work. Communication with this issue was poor.
Over all our trip was wonderful. But we are very disappointed in the lack of care of this VRBO, the furniture is very old and filthy, the rugs are worse, the dishes and utensils were at the very minimal. I had to go buy a spatula so we could flip eggs. There were no cleaning supplies except for some Dawn dish soap. The TVs are so out dated and small. It also needs new paint and updated. We ended up watching our shows on our phones. for the price we paid this condo was definitely not what we expected. I would be embarrassed as the owner. Not sure what they consider updated
Beautiful Island, beautiful stay :)
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Palms. The property is well maintained and the unit was very clean and quite spacious for our family of four. The kitchen is adequately stocked to prepare small meals. The views are beautiful from the lanai and you have small glimpses of the ocean. We had to reach out to the property management and they were highly responsive. The AC units weren’t working and they were repaired promptly.
As others have mentioned, the second bedroom has sliding shutter type doors which do not really act as a sound barrier to the living room. Not a problem for us, but could be for some.
We highly recommend this property!
We loved the beautiful sunsets from the patio. Ocean breezes were delightful. The condo location is fantastic & the grounds are very well taken care of. The layout is very spacious with lovely views from every window. I will definitely go back. The beach is more drivable than walkable. The beach chairs we used were great. There is only one tiny beach umbrella. We managed but our fair skin could use a larger umbrella. Thankfully there was parking each time we went. Fabulous pool to enjoy. I would warn that it is a bit of a hike up the hill from the condo to the pool which was fine for those of us wanting a bit of extra exercise. Knowing this would be helpful for others. Photos/description are misleading in that there are 16 steps down before taking the 24 steps up to the unit. This should be mentioned in the listing for ADA. We needed the exercise, but some may not.
A couple of notes for management. In the kitchen there are signs to store food in airtight containers. Another sign says to use Tupperware to prevent bugs. However, none are provided. Plus a laundry basket would be helpful. Directions on how to use the ceiling fans and ac would also be helpful. Pillows. Seriously. These are old, flat, and past usage. Get some decent pillows.
A few minor repairs and updating is needed. Shower heads for example. Front screen door piston does not work. It slams shut on your heels. With these improvements we would not hesitate to return.
We enjoyed our time at the palms. Was our family with a young child and one grandparent. The pool and the grounds kept our little guy entertained for hours. The unit may need a few updates in the next few years but it was clean with working AC, laundry and comfy beds. We really enjoyed the huge lanai
This unit did not have all the perks we have experienced in other VRBO properties. It is a hike up the hill to access the pool. The patio furniture as weathered and needs to be replaced.
It’s in a great location and the palms amenities are great! The bonus would be having the private grill.
Place was above expectations in every way. Clean, air conditioner in every room, great kitchen, parking spot near door, plants all around, pool was the best, easy walk to beach.
We have stayed at the Palms many times. This was a very good unit. Property manager is doing an excellent job. Location is great. Short distance to the beach. Chairs, towels, etc were appreciated
Few minor repairs needed. Front screen door piston. It slams and the door stop on the front door.
Overall, another wonderful stay.
