Note: The half bath in main house did not have sink in it. Just a commode and shower.We adjusted. Had a very good stay. Would rent again. There was 13 in our family.As they say in real estate- location, location, location.- was excellent. Eating places within walking distance, beach not crowded.

Hi Gary, thanks so much for staying at our 3 Palms Retreat! Thirteen family members under one roof, with great restaurants a short walk away and a beach that never felt crowded, sounds like a vacation done right. Thank you for being so gracious about the half bath, and we’ll take a close look at it so the next group has everything they need. Location may be the golden rule of real estate, but your kind words are the real prize, and we’d love to host your family again.

Family Paradise

This property was good for a large family or group. It provided everybody with space for their own family, while staying all on the same property and enjoying the same amenities. The location was ideal. The bonfire pit right on the beach was an added bonus I would highly recommend.

Idyllic beach house

Our family thoroughly enjoyed 3 Palms Retreat last week as we celebrated our daughters beach wedding. The location of being so close to the beach and the relaxing deck to watch the sunsets were so appreciated with our young families. The tasty decor of the 3 units,cleanliness, and comfy beds were a real plus. Also the convenience of bakery and bar grille in next block were utilized and very yummy. A great set up for 3 individual families /groups.

Beautiful setting with easy access to the beach and shopping. Wonderful to have 3 refrigerators as we like to cook and eat in most of the time although the kitchens had only small and medium sized pots and pans. No TVs in any of bedrooms which we thought was unusual but ended up working out fine.
