About this property

A Contemporary & Classic Gem in Historic El Cid w/guest cottage & tropical pool

Located in the highly desirable El Cid/Mango Promenade District, you will find this restored Craftsman gem with heated pool**. You’ll travel through lushly landscaped & tree-lined streets on the way to the 4 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath Paradise. It’s ideally positioned to enjoy the best of WPB; 2 blocks to the intercoastal, biking distance to beach, 5-min. drive to downtown Palm Beach & Worth Ave., the Norton Museum, antique row & so much more. With TONS of fab restaurants you can walk to & an organic market, you may never cook! ENJOY!

**THIS IS NOT A PARTY HOUSE! Quiet enjoyment only! no loud/amplified music or unauthorized guests. No exceptions.

This magical two-story, main home also features a fully loaded 1/1 guest house. The home was lovingly restored and renovated yet still boasts original features including Miami Dade hardwood floors & stained glass.

There’s a new designer furnished living room on main floor with plenty of seating and a Smart TV for streaming. And board games for the family to enjoy together.

Off the living room is the dining room with an extra long contemporary dining table that can seat up to 10 guests. We’ve also provided a nice little bar setup where you can create your signature poolside cocktail.

The large updated kitchen has bar seating for four and a Smart TV. The kitchen has everything you’ll need for cooking full meals including a Nespresso machine, drip coffee maker, K-cup coffee machine, French press and tea kettle to satisfy all morning cravings.

There’s a powder room on the main level.

The upstairs King bedded master suite has an over-sized deluxe full bath including a luxurious claw foot soaking tub and large separate shower. The full size washer/dryer is in the bathroom behind shutter doors.

The King bedroom features a smart flatscreen TV for streaming. Just off the bedroom, separated by French doors, is a large separate room that can be utilized as a bedroom, baby’s room (we have a pack ‘n play & booster chair) or office. It’s equipped with a Design Within Reach high end couch/sleeper sofa and small desk/table if you need a private work space.

There is a large covered patio off this room overlooking the pool.

Also upstairs, down the hall from the master suite, is a large Queen bedded room with smart TV for streaming. Adjacent to this room is a full bath with shower.

On the ground floor just off the main living space is another bedroom equipped with 2/3 West Elm twin daybed/sofas. This super bright space is an ideal kid’s room but can be configured to accommodate couples. It also has its own smart TV for streaming.

The side yard adjacent to the kitchen is an outdoor dining space with large table and plenty of seating. There’s a Weber propane grill and outdoor shower - perfect for après-beach days.

The romantic guest cottage with its lovely pool view includes a queen bed, smart tv for streaming, bistro table & chairs for 2, kitchen and cozy full bath with shower.

The lush, old growth palm trees and garden surrounding the pool has plenty of seating for everyone to enjoy with lots of private nooks. There’s also an intimate covered gazebo with comfortable seating for two.

ALL rooms have remote-controlled ceiling fans and there’s A/C throughout.
There’s also an Alexa system & speakers for music.

**The pool is not heated in the summer. Heat is available November through April at an additional daily charge of $50.

*Dog friendly (1) for additional one-time fee. Pre-approval necessary.

Charming Spot near Norton Museum
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.

Very nice home
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 :)
