Private Oasis
Perfect spot for a couple to relax and enjoy nature. Great BBQ and outdoor table set for evening meals. Beautifully landscaped. Everything you need for easy meals & grilling. Host is on site but the guest cottage is hidden in the lush greenery and very private. We enjoyed some of the fresh fruit grown on the property - nice treat.

We had a fantastic 2 week stay at the House of Palms. Charles and Kathy were great hosts who had created the perfect home away from home. Some of the features we enjoyed the most were the privacy of the unit, the lanai, gorgeous garden-like setting and the amenities that were available. The heat pump provided great comfort due to its temperature and humidity control. The home-grown fruit that was provided to us was a real treat.

Stay in Paradise
The cottage is well equipped. The landscaping in the yard is beautiful and makes the cottage very secluded. The bed is comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. We enjoyed our stay.
