Overall not bad! It was a cute place and good location close to the beach. Definitely met our needs for our trip. However, for a first floor apartment I felt security was a little lacking. There were only 2 locks, one for the front door and one for the patio door. I would've felt more safe and secure if there had been something like a safety bar for the patio and maybe a chain or deadlock on the front door. Additionally, the listing stated the kitchen is fully stocked, but that is only partially true. While there are several tools, we couldn't seem to find something simple like hot pads for pans out of the oven. All in all, not a bad Vrbo but probably won't be my first choice in the future.

Perfect Holiday Getaway

This property was perfect for my husband and I with our Border Collie. The house was very clean and smartly decorated. The in-floor heating and thick walls, meant we didn't have to run the heater much at all. The nieghborhood was quiet and perfect for taking our dog for a walk. We loved everything about our stay and hope to be able to stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Alyce McElhoes

Host profile image
A custom home builder for 30 years. This was a refreshing project that was so small and simple it was fun to build and create a small retreat just for two. It was an acre of land that overlooks the quaint town of Palmer Lake that boasts some amazing restaurants and bars. This little gem sits at the base of the famous Palmer Lake Star.

Why they chose this property

If you want to relax and get away from it all in a small private bungalow and enjoy new, clean home with all the modern amenities current with the trends. Get away to the National Forest or walk to town to visit the new train bridge, or get an ice cream cone at a local shop.
