About this property

Your Private Tropical Oasis

I welcome you to this special piece of paradise in the midst of our West Palm Beach City energy. Once on the other side of the gate, the Zen environment of The City OASIS can immediately energize your soul, perhaps have you shift in to another reality for a moment in time.

Enjoy the private cottage, shower under the light of the moon, (read reviews on the shower, its very special and a favorite among guests) drink alkaline clean water (no need to spend money on bringing your own water), sleep on organic cotton sheets on a comfy mattress.

Enjoy the ozone/salt water pool all to yourself. Total privacy is what guests love about The City OASIS. Enjoy night swims anytime. The pool has solar panels to keep the water from getting too cold in the winter. There is an option of paying $30 for using the gas heater which can heat the pool to 90 degrees in just 2 hours.

Experience the lights of the Oasis in the evening, the flickering of the solar Tiki torches and the Buddha fountain with its reflexion in the dark water.

Something important to note that in Palm Beach County there is a 6% vacation rental, accommodation tax, that most properties have as a fee added to your nightly stay. I cover that fee for you, always have, always will. This makes my bottom line pricing more affordable.

Walk one block to Sushi Joe/Joe's Bistro for lunch/dinner or one of the others (about 5 restaurants in walking distance) including Vincents French Bistro just a few blocks away, Makebs bagels one block and Havana's Cuban place just 4 blocks away is a staple in this neighborhood.

Walk just 5 blocks to the intracoastal waterway for a beautiful evening walk after dinner.

Take the short 10 minute drive to the PB Island Beach and downtown West Palm with great food, music, City Place on Rosemary Avenue, theatre and more; nature parks, waters sports, and museums are abundant as well as cultural events.

Your cottage is equipped with some extras to help with your stay; toilet paper, paper towels, local roasted Floridian coffee, teas, dish soap, some bath items as well, Body wash, blow dryer, iron, beach towels, umbrella, blanket, hammock (for Hammock Park Beach) and a yoga mat, blue tooth speaker and an alkaline water filter pitcher for good clean water. You can pack light when coming to the OASIS.

You have the convenience of a laundry room with full sized LG units including detergent. All pool and beach accessories and other goodies are in the laundry room for your use.

The City Oasis offers a menu of services available for pre-booking. Want a massage? You don't have to go anywhere. You can book with me (check out my reviews on my business page and my service menu is available once you book your stay. Ex...Raindrop Therapy Massage, deep tissue massage, body mapping, qigong, Whole Body Vibration (great for right after a long travel day to restore circulation), BioCharging, and more!

There is a welcome book in the cottage with loads of local information for your convenience and a book filled with menu's. :)

I am your host, Daryl, and I look forward to sharing my space... and now your space... The City OASIS, for a moment in time.

The OASIS welcomes couples for short term stays up to approximately two weeks and welcomes single woman for long term rentals; a month or possibly more. If you're trying to book more than 6 months in advance just message me with an inquiry and I'll check the calendar for you and get back to you. Thank you for stopping by! :)

Keep in mind when booking your flights it can be difficult to get an early check in or a late check out based on the cleaning and prep scheduling. Check in is 3:00 and Check out is 10:00. Accommodating early or later times can be complimentary when available. Otherwise, early check in before 3:00- $35. Late check out: First hour free if available. After 11:00 with approval $35.

This was a cozy & beautiful oasis ! We enjoyed every minute there. The place is equipped with everything you can possibly need. The host is wonderful, she is super sweet, helpful and responsive. We looked forward everyday to shower in the outside shower, pressure and hot water was great ! You will have drinking water always with a great filtered pitcher and the water tasted amazing. We will definitely come back. The Reeds from south Texas.

Wonderful place! Pool was so relaxing as well as the comfortable bed and great outdoor shower. Daryl is a pleasure to meet. We had a massage from Holly and it was one of the best I have ever had. I highly recommend staying here if you are looking to relax! Great area in-between Lake Worth and downtown West Palm Beach. A couple minute walk to a great French Pastry and a bagel place the other direction. Restaurants also an easy walk.

I am so grateful I found this magical place! I felt months of stress and chaos melt off me the moment I walked through the gate. The cats were sick a beautiful gift, and I thank you for showing me the life I can (and will be!) living some day. I was also honored to receive a raindrop session. It was beyond words. I was so sad to leave this incredible place, but I will cherish the memories forever.

I had a great time at Daryl's Tropical Oasis! The space was exactly as described and exceeded my expectations. Daryl is an attentive host and makes sure her guests have everything they need to feel comfortable during their stay. I highly recommend booking the Oasis if you plan on visiting West Palm. The location is perfect and any activity we setup was within a 10 minute drive. Daryl also has great recommendations on places to checkout if you are new to the area. A perfect getaway for solo or couples travelers. I will definitely look to book again in the future! 10/10 experience all around. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Daryl Gimbel

Host profile image

Hi, I am Daryl. I moved here at the end of 2019 to be close to the ocean, and live my dream. I love to design, garden, bike, swim and eat great food. I am a Lifestyle and Movement Coach using the Gyrotonic Method, Qigong, Bioenergetics and energy healing with Raindrop Therapy Massage. I offer services to guests making their experience unique for a vacation rental. Welcome to this special place infused with Peace and Love!

Why they chose this property

I bought this property after moving here from California to own my own home with a vacation rental and a retreat option. The property was a blank slate, as a gardener this was a dream. It gave me an opportunity to design it according to my vision. I love that I can walk to the inter-coastal water or take a short 10 minute drive to the beach for sunrise and sunsets. I love restaurants and there are plenty. And I love the tropical weather. Winter and summer offer a different feel. Both wonderful.

What makes this property unique

Travelers most comment about the energy on the property being so calm and Zen and the outdoor shower is always a favorite along with the pool and gardens. The sounds of birds chirping and butterflies twittering around area plus. I offer you a list of OASIS Guest Services to enjoy your stay more and feel like you're at a resort.
