We had an absolutly wonderful time in this home. There was 10 of us ranging in age from 70's to 7 and everyone had their own space. My son got married on the beach and with the three bathrooms everyone could get ready at a reasonable time. Our whole family vacation was more enjoyable because of this house.

Recommended for: People with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Owner response: Dear Sheri, I am so happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed the home! It is our goal to provide a clean and comfortable sanctuary where families can gather together and reunite making memories to last a lifetime. Thank you for choosing The Coconut Palm home! All the best to you and your family. Regards, Lisa

Dear Lisa and Ken, Just wanted to say that we had an amazing time at Pompano Beach house back in May. We were there for almost a month and at the end, we didn't want to leave. The house had everything that we could hope for and more. It's really great that the backyard is so private. The kids loved the pool and it was wonderful being able to just walk down to the beach. Thank you for all your help. The Georges Family from Australia

Owner response: Thank you so much for choosing the home and for taking the time to write a review! We are fortunate to have a home so close to the ocean and enjoy hearing about our guests' experiences! It was a pleasure meeting with your family and hope to hear from you in the future. All The Best, Lisa & Ken

We really enjoyed staying at the house. It is a great place for the kids to enjoy and my parents were very comfortable. We were here for my mom's 72nd birthday and she couldn't have been more pleased to be so close to the ocean, her favorite part of the stay. All the best to you and your family. Thank you for always being available as a resource. We hope to return again! Regards, Marie Mathew Rita Joseph Mamaroneck, NY

Alas we have to leave much too soon! This has been an oasis of peace; beautifully secluded while charming, with lots of attention to details, making us feel comfortable and most welcome. We loved being able to walk to the beach and very much enjoyed the delightful garden where we spent much time talking, playing chess, and gazing at the evening sky. Thank You Lisa for your flexibility in accomadating us at such short notice.

Great low-key & easy place - super practical location-wise. Close to airport, close to fancy places like Palm Beach...yet you can spend a very lazy day with kids at home and end the day on the beach 3-toddler-walking minutes away!! The house is split beautiful for sharing families - we were 2 families: one of 2 adults + 1kids; the other 2 adults + 3kids The above ground pool w/removable ladder, for us was a MAJOR plus having little kids running around!! Lisa was attentive to our needs!

Booking a vacation rental online and from a private owner is something that we were somewhat hesitant about. However, this home is everything it promises to be! Even with nine people (six of them teens), we never felt crowded. It is very spacious and clean. The beds were fabulous and all the furniture is very nice and comfortable. We all thoroughly enjoyed our much too short stay here!

Our group would like to thank you and your family for a fantastic week in Pompano Beach. We each made memories at your beautiful home that will last us a lifetime! Our favorite feature was the outdoor spa, and the surprisingly short distance to the beach. Another trip down is definately in the future!

The teenagers made up a dance, we played games, cooked out, built a snowman in the sand, sang songs together - and felt this house was perfect for us. We would love to return!

Having a wonderful house in a great location goes a long way when traveling with 21 month old twins. Add on to that very accommodating and helpful owners and you get spoiled and do not want to leave. That was our experience staying at this property. The layout of the house allows for plenty of privacy when desired. The outdoor spaces are beautifully appointed and maintained. We hope to return to this property next year for two weeks instead of just one. Many thanks to Lisa & Ken. The Scott/Marks Family

We had a wonderful wedding here on Aug. 23rd, 2003. It was beautiful! All of our guests enjoyed the event, including the ceremony on the yacht that picked us up on the waterway behind the house. We spent 2 wonderful weeks here including walking across to the beach on a regular basis and saw alot of south Florida with our day trips. Thank you Ken & Lisa for allowing us to use this beautiful house and thanks to Ken for coming over and helping us with the yard on the day of our wedding.

My family and I travel quite a bit, but this was absolutely one of the best vacations we've ever had!!! The house was clean, spacious and beautiful. Everyone really enjoyed the hot tub and we had a great time grilling on the patio. There was enough space to be together as a family without tripping over one another and driving each other crazy! We definitely look forward to spending another vacation in this wonderful home.

My husband and I were looking for the perfect vacation home rental as a venue for our wedding. After a lengthy search, we were truly happy to find Lisa and Ken’s Pompano Beach home. The amenities were exactly as described, and the garden/deck area served as a gorgeous background for our intimate wedding ceremony (You must see the grand old tree in the center of the deck!). We were able to accommodate ourselves and both sets of parents, plus our brother and sister, which greatly helped to create the family unity we desired. And Lisa was extremely gracious and helpful in the planning of our wedding. We would like to thank Lisa and Ken again for making this stay most memorable for us.Thank you.

Three generations of our family enjoyed a week in March in this lovely home. We especially enjoyed the spacious back yard, the nice barbeque grill and the well-equipped kitchen. The owners also were very generous in supplying toys and equipment for our 15 month old grandchild. We would definitely like to come again.
