Thank you so much for sharing this — we’re thrilled to hear that your stay in Islamorada made for such a wonderful family vacation. We’re glad the home and location were a great fit for your trip. You were fantastic guests, and we’d love to have you back anytime!
Overall we had a lovely stay! The house has a great layout, super clean and well stocked. It is close to the pool in the community and a small beach area. You cannot really swim due to jelly fish, but there are many activities including paddle boarding and kayaking. The house is also close to everything so it was really easy to get around. We would definitely go back!

The house was clean, very comfortable beds, kitchen was well stocked, the pool temperature was perfect. Would definitely stay there again if in the area.
I do not recommend this unit. The seating in the living room was so uncomfortable that we could hardly sit in them. The cushions were flimsy and there was no support. I sat in one of the bar stools and it was so rickety I was afraid to sit in it again. Also the back balcony backed up to the main road going through Islamorada. The road noise was so bad we weren’t able to sit out there and hold a conversation. We even checked out 3 days early!!!

We’re sorry the home did not meet your expectations. However, we do feel it is important for future guests to understand the full context of this review. Before even arriving at the property, there were already multiple attempts to cancel the reservation and receive money back outside of the cancellation policy. When those requests were denied, this review followed after checkout, which unfortunately makes it difficult to view it as an honest reflection of the stay itself rather than continued frustration over not receiving a refund.
What is also disappointing is that during your stay, not one of these concerns was communicated to us despite multiple messages from us asking guests to please reach out immediately if anything needed attention. Had you told us a stool felt loose, we would have tightened or replaced it immediately. Had a chair been uncomfortable, we gladly would have ordered a new one right away. We are extremely responsive hosts and always do our best to make guests happy.
Regarding the location and “road noise,” Islamorada is a very narrow island chain with one main overseas highway running through the Keys and the ocean just a short distance from both sides of the road. That is simply the layout and nature of the Florida Keys. Guests visiting the Keys should expect that homes, restaurants, marinas, and communities are all located along the main roadway that connects the islands. This is certainly not unique to our property nor something hidden from guests booking accommodations in the area.
We are proud of our many excellent reviews from wonderful guests who have enjoyed both the home and our hospitality over the years. It is unfortunate when guests do not communicate concerns in real time and instead wait until after checkout to leave damaging comments after unsuccessfully trying to cancel and receive a refund before arrival.
Thank you so much! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a wonderful time during your stay. It was a pleasure hosting you. We hope to welcome you back for another memorable trip in the future.
My family and I truly enjoyed our stay at Palm La Mar. it was exceptionally clean and beautifully decorated. The owner was very responsive as well. It was a wonderful place to spend our vacation together.

Super clean and fantastic location. Very convenient to everything we wanted to explore. Pool was perfect and took long walks around the property. We would recommend and stay again.
The property was clean and was in a great location. We loved the heated pool and the access to the SUPs and kayaks.

Wonderful stay! The property was very clean And close to everything. The only thing is that the beach area is not really for swimming more for launching kayaks and wading.
This was one of our favorite rentals we have ever stayed in! They had everything we needed plus more. Great for kids and loved the two king beds with their own bathroom. We will definitely stay here again!
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Keys. The property and grounds were perfectly manicured, the pool lovely. Property manager easy to contact and communicate with. We would absolutely stay here again!
We had enjoyed our stay. Nice house, convenient location and wonderful boat slip.
