Whether you're looking to relax by the water, explore Palm Beach county, or simply enjoy a quiet retreat, our home will be the perfect home base for your tranquil getaway.
The space is comfortable and peaceful, there's a fully equipped kitchen to cook delicious meals, and the pool is private and quiet.
We hope you enjoy our home and the proximity to beaches and incredible shops and restaurants.
There’s a lot of info below, we ask that you read it all so that you get the most out of your stay. Most questions can be answered there.
We’re very responsive on airbnb, so please message us with any questions. We do live on the west coast, so morning messages will likely be delayed.
You’ll find a bottle of prosecco in the wine fridge under the kitchen island, and some Nespresso pods for espresso/coffee on your arrival. Enjoy your time here!
Please review the property details carefully.
You can fit two cars in the driveway, and can park in the street if needed. Please avoid parking in front of neighbor’s homes as most are full-time residents. No more than 3 cars, two in the driveway, one in the street in front of the house.
Our front door is keyless, so you won’t need a key to get inside. Enter the code that we provide via Airbnb and it will unlock. To lock the door, just press the “lock” button. There is a key should the electric lockbox not work. Please see the welcome message I sent in the app for details on how to access it.

Kitchen
Dishwasher: Use the pods under the sink. Instructions can be found on the dishwasher.
Nespresso Machine: Make sure there is water in the clear container on the back. To turn it on, press both buttons on the top at the same time. They will blink for a few seconds. When they stop blinking, it’s ready to use. Lift the handle in the front - place the nespresso pod in the open space. Lower the handle to close the chamber. Press the button on the top left for a small shot of espresso, or the button on the right for a large shot. The used pod will fall into the base when you lift the handle. Please pull out the base periodically to empty the pods and rinse out the base.
Milk Frother: Add milk until it just covers the highest point of the black knob. Cover with the lid, and press the button in the front. It will stop automatically when it’s done. Rinse out the milk immediately after each use. DO NOT get the bottom of the frother wet or put into the dishwasher - there is an electrical piece and if it gets wet, it will stop working. The whisk inside is a magnet that you can pull out to be able to clean it more thoroughly.
Laundry
Washing Machine: Press power on the left. Choose your settings, then press start. You can add pods or detergent directly in the machine - we’ve provided you with pods that you’re welcome to use.
Dryer: Choose your setting by rotating the circle clockwise. Add dryer sheets if you’d like. PLEASE empty the lint tray at the bottom before starting it.
TV
We have one remote. Press the power button to turn it on and off. It’s a Roku, which means you can log into any service provider you have (Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, etc) and stream it directly on the TV. We don’t have cable.

The thermostat is by the master bedroom door. To adjust the temperature, spin the circle. Please remember to keep doors and windows closed if you have the AC turned on so that the AC isn’t overworking. If the AC goes out in Florida, it will get hot!
