Enjoyed our stay

Property was very clean. Short walk to the beach, coffee, dinner. Our only issue was that we could not get the major tv stations (ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX NEWS). And one of the bedroom tvs you could not get past the Roku Home Screen.

Extremely clean, comfortable, and cozy. A good home away from home.

Mia, the owner was so inviting and welcomed us as we arrived. She was so considerate giving us suggestions for places to eat and things to do. The cottage was cute and quaint and nicely updated, plus allowing us to have our dog there was a plus. My family and I enjoyed the wonderful memories made at the beach. We will definitely come back to El Palmar cottage in the future.

Wonderful vacation at tropical paradise!

The property was even better in person than the pictures showed. Mia thought of everything so if you do not want to go out to eat, you can just go to the store and buy food and come back and cookout and all the utensils and plates were available. The beds were extremely comfortable and the couch is absolutely amazing! At night we Stayed at the property and cooked out and enjoyed the fire pit. during the day we just crossed the street to the beautiful beach. Will definitely be visiting Mia's place in the future!

The place is immaculate, the host is friendly, and the atmosphere is very relaxing.

I recently had the pleasure of staying here with my pregnant wife and dog. We wanted a place to relax and it was an absolute delight. The first thing that struck me upon arrival was the place's cleanliness. It was spotless and well-maintained, immediately setting a positive tone for my stay. The location was perfect for a serene and relaxing getaway. The quiet surroundings provided a much-needed respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life. I found myself unwinding effortlessly, with the tranquil sounds of the nearby beach adding to the peaceful atmosphere. Overall, my experience was enjoyable, and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, quiet, and relaxing beachside retreat.

Great place; great location!

My husband and I have been staying in Florida as snowbirds for a few years now. This is by far the best place we’ve rented! The host is very responsive and super friendly and helpful! The place was roomy, comfortable, clean, well stocked and updated! In unit washer/dryer was a game-changing feature. All new appliances. Dog friendly. A block from the beach. It was absolute perfection! This host thought of everything! We will definitely be returning.

Family Affair

El Palmar was wonderful. We were looking for a quiet getaway since we were taking our daughter and 8 month old granddaughter on vacation and El Palmar was perfect. It was very clean and well equipped. We really enjoyed the screened in porch and the quiet backyard as well. It was a perfect location. A short walk to the beautiful beach, restaurants and ice cream shops!! There is a nature preserve with a lovely boardwalk only a block away with a dog park at one end and a children’s playground at then other. We had a fabulous time. Thank you Mia for sharing your little piece of paradise.

January 2020 IRB

We do a lot of VBRO. We have learned to wait to get to the property to see what we need to purchase (pans, spatulas, etc). When we arrived everything was new and just as we have it in our home. There was even coffee and coffee filters! Mia has thought of everything! Chairs, umbrellas and buggies to carry to the beach in. We enjoyed it so much that we extended our stay 2 more nights. We will definitely be back!

We loved it!

This was a great property. Very well maintained, clean and very functional. My husband and I stayed here with our dog and had a wonderful time. So many spaces to enjoy the outdoors. The upper deck off the unit was a nice screenroom-perfect for enjoying our morning coffee. Downstairs at ground level there were two hammocks and lots of places to seat people and also a nice gas grill. The outdoor propane firepit was really nice, too. Mia provided two wonder wheelies for the beach, plus umbrellas and chairs. We threw all our stuff in and wheeled it right to the beach, which was a very short walk. You do have to cross a two lane street, but as soon as you press the button on the pole, the flashers go in and the cars stop for you. Lots of restaurants within walking distance, and a dog park as well. This one’s a winner. We’ll be back!

Just what what the Dr ordered

A wonderful long weekend away in a covid safe environment. Brought our two surly teenagers for a quick get away before the start of the school year. needed a covid safe environment and felt completely safe in our surroundings. House was in impeccable condition and had everything we could have wanted. Take out at a taco joint in walking distance. Publix 10 minutes away. Dog park also short walk a way for our pup to street her legs. Beach was awesome. Crowds are lighter here on the beach so we could have a little space on the sand and water. Kooky Coconuts was a must each night for a sweet treat while watching sunsets. Mia was so nice and accommodating. Will surely try to come again and highly reccomennsd!
