Memorial day stay 2021 Beautiful property and location with easy access to the beach, only complaint was that some of the Dining room chairs have been damaged and we’re unusable

Perfect location and house for family fun,

We really enjoyed our stay at Palm Tree Paradise! We had 8 adults, 5 kids and 2 infants and were very comfortable in this house! The large lot made this property feel more private and the views of the sound side were beautiful at sunset. The private dock was a big hit with everyone and the fishing traps available at the dock were a plus! I would stay here again.

The house and property was just perfect for our group!

Lay back relax and fall asleep to the sounds of the waves. Hug your friends and cherish the moments with your family. Just enjoy every moment of this amazing life we are blessed with.

Pros - Location on the Bay side shielded us from the winds off the Gulf... important given the storms that blew through. Neighborhood setting away from most traffic and tourists. 2 refrigerators and an ice maker are nice features to have for a large group. Plenty of dishes and kitchen items. Washer & Dryer worked well. Only 1 pool cue worth using. Cons - This is my opinion only, so others may not agree. Evident upon arrival, there are many areas of rotten wood throughout the house's exterior with decking boards needing to be replaced. Entering the house, we could smell a musty, mildew smell coming up from the bottom level. Having just been cleaned, this caught us completely off guard. The house's fixtures and furniture are really dated and in need of replacement, expecially given the rental price. Some of the exterior furniture really should be replaced too. No matter how hard we tried, we could not keep from tracking in sand. The house has 2 vacuum cleaners, but neither work well enough to collect the sand. I know we swept the house a dozen times over the week we were there. The house next door rents out for weddings and parties. We were initially excited to know a wedding would take place next door to us and actually congratulated the bride and groom. However, the after-party was something right out of Animal House. Drunk people yelling and cursing acting like a frat party is not something I wanted my grandkids to be exposed to. We had to take the kids inside much earlier than planned due to the vulgarity. It actually got worse when one of the partiers took off all their clothes and danced around naked... I nearly threw up!! Extremely upset that the quoted price on line was not honored by the owner, causing us to pay much more than expected. Because this was a 1-time vacation for all kids and grandkids to join us, we were limited and had no choice but accept the higher price. All in all, it was not worth the money we spent, and we will not return. I have stayed in much nice places for a lot less money, so this isn't just a radomn statement but a sincere comparison.

Property was as advertised Property managers were very attentive, brought us propane for grill that was low. Gave us early check in due to bad weather in area. Excellent location.

Great house, great location and great beach

We had a great time! Plenty of space for all of us! The kitchen has every cooking utensil you could imagine. I would suggest that a starter of dishwasher soap and laundry soap would be great!

The location on the sound was wonderful. Outdoor areas were very nice. Lots of space to sit on balconies or downstairs patio. Enjoyed the dock and the small private beach area. Short walk to the beautiful gulf beach about one block away.
