Loved our stay!

This property is beautiful, the cottage was adorable, comfy, and the perfect size for my husband and I's short stay. The salt water pool was beautiful and we really enjoyed it. Location was very close to everywhere we wanted to visit in palm beach, and we brought our scooters and enjoyed a fun scoot around the area. Highly recommend!

This property was exactly what we were looking for—located in a safe, quiet neighborhood that was perfect for walking our pets. The home was clean, cozy, and had all the essentials for a comfortable stay. We felt right at home from the moment we arrived. The peaceful surroundings made it easy to relax, and our pups loved the walkable area. The host was kind, responsive, and made everything seamless. We truly appreciated the hospitality and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a pet-friendly and peaceful getaway.

Great Stay!

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The 1-bedroom was exactly as advertised, clean, and had everything we needed- including a cooler and beach chairs. The property is beautifully landscaped as well making it a little oasis, which was an added bonus. We had a slight issue with the keypad part way through our stay that was immediately addressed by the hosts. We would definitely stay here again!

Great Host

The place is perfect size and has everything you need. I came by Brightline Train and it was very close to the station and Clematis Street downtown. The Host had great communication and even gave me some recommendations for local places to eat.

Perfect accommodations

Excellent place to stay! Very comfortable for two people. It was clean and had everything we needed. The pool is a great place to hang out. I slept on the pull out couch and it was very comfortable. No issues at all. We will definitely stay here again if it’s available.

Sanctuary Oasis

I came there for a Tony Robbins event. I was 12 minutes from the convention center easy access in and out. The accommodations were perfect. The bed was so comfortable to sleep in, pillows could use a little upgrading but overall it was a pleasant stay. Close to beaches with beach accessories for my personal use, thank you💛. I would definitely choose again.

Clean, accurate as described

We stayed here mostly for a place to sleep as we had personal meetings during the day. The location is in close proximity to the highway an A1A. We did drive a lot in the evenings to check out other towns. We did not use the pool or go to the beach so I can't give an accurate review of the location proximity to the beach or the usability of the pool.

Nice place in great location

This is a good property in many respects but has one major drawback for seniors (which we are). There is a large step-up from the front/kitchen room into the bedroom. This could be dangerous at night causing a fall onto the hard Mexican tile floor. Otherwise the property is excellent.

Would recommend

We liked this place a lot. The air conditioning cooled the bedroom but not as much the living room and kitchen. It was clean and the pool was nice. When we had trouble with the TV they came immediately and fixed it. We also liked the private yard and outdoor seating by the pool. This is a shared residence, while our a room is private we shared the pool and were close to other renters. We would recommend!

Angels unaware

Landed sick in West Palm Beach and had no idea all my plans were about to change. Our host and hostess were more than kind. So thankful for folks who are good people even when they don’t have to be. This little pocket paradise sheltered me from the rest of the world and gave me time to heal and be able to carry on.

Perfectly relaxing

This was the perfect spot for a few days of relaxation. Just a short Uber ride to beaches and downtown. The bed was comfy, the space was perfect and the pool area was very private and secluded. Felt like we were at our own private resort. The only downside was the pool was very cold so we never got in it, but it looked beautiful and was very relaxing to sit outside. We enjoyed the beaches and downtown as well.

A Nice Couples Bungalow

My husband and I were in town for a convention and this little bungalow was the perfect oasis away from the hustle and bustle of a conference. It is small but has all that we needed in it. The neighborhood is stunning and the property is well manicured. The laundry facility was wonderful. The pool looked amazing but we never had the opportunity to get in it. Great people, easy process, clean and perfectly priced. Parking on the street was easy. The kitchen was well equipped and made it easy to prepare meals.

A hidden gem

My wife and I and our Havapoo Snoop enjoyed this "hidden gem". The host Ferney and Geovanna did and outstanding job making sure the accommodations fit our needs. It’s no wonderful why they have earned the "Super Host" title. Ferney recommended a nice live music restaurant (Cafe Centro) that played jazz which is located less than a 10-minute drive from the cottage. The next time we visit the area, we will definitely be staying here if it is available.

Hidden Gem

My college son had surgery and needed to be near his school and surgery center. It was also near restaurants (1/2 mile, easy walk or a 3 minute drive) There is a shared pool with plenty of seating. The laundry room was connected and had the best washers. Ferney was a wonderful Host. Looking forward to our next stay with my Husband to visit our son.

About the host

Host profile image
My name is Ferney Lopez and my wife (Geovanna) and I love to travel. If I were to retire today I would spend most of my time traveling and trying different foods from around the world. Since I can't afford that luxury yet, I'm a web designer/graphic designer by trade. My wife is a paralegal and real estate agent.

Why they chose this property

We have stayed in enough places to know what people like and want from their vacation experience. When we purchased Vieja Escuela we knew that it would be a success because its proximity to the airport, downtown, restaurants, beaches and other entertainment venues. We fell in love with the charm and character of this house and wanted to turn it into a vacation paradise. What gives this home its character are all the rustic features and decor to match it. We understand that many people want to experience the latest technology and shiny new floors and amenities, but there's something about the imperfections of old home that make it alluring.

What makes this property unique

The proximity to shops, entertainment and restaurants make this place a great choice for families. We have paid attention to detail when selecting the furniture so that it would compliment the Spanish-style home. The pool renovation has really brought the house to life so that our guests can enjoy Florida's beautiful weather.
