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 your own 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 very 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 just $25 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 is opening January 2026 just a few blocks away, Makeb's bagels opening on Christmas of 2025, Havana's 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. And an alkaline water filter pitcher for good clean water. Oh, and a blue tooth speaker too. You can pack light when coming to the OASIS.

You have the convenience of the laundry room with full sized LG units. The room is attached to your cottage but thorough a different set of doors. Comes with detergent too. 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, especially in season time, it can be difficult to get an early check in or a late check out. However if you let me know immediately after booking the chances are better. Once the cleaning crew is booked it's difficult to change them.

Daryl "Oasis" is very clean, very nice and situated to great beaches, restaurants, shopping and anything you may need. The private pool was an added bonus and the outdoor shower was perfect for rinsing off after a day at the beach. We will definitely return and highly recommend this gem of a find.

The City Oasis

This was a magnificent place to stay in! Daryl was accommodating and made our check in super easy! The place was spotless and you can tell how much work she’s put in to the garden. I couldn’t have picked a better place to stay. The location was perfect as we were about ten minutes away from downtown and only nine minutes from the airport.I would stay here for every vacation if I could!

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.
