An absolutely beautiful oasis. The home is spacious, private, and close to downtown Delray Beach. The home and host were so wonderful that we will book this VRBO again when we visit Florida in the future.
This home is beautiful from the warm comfortable inside furnishings to the private, gorgeous backyard pool oasis. Very close to downtown, great restaurants & shopping. The home is well stocked with everything you need to make your stay perfect.

Reviewer Comments:
This home is absolute paradise and privacy!! The moment you walk through the gate, you will experience an absolute tropical paradise! This home, for us, was blessed with amazing interior and exterior decorating. We loved having no steps in the house. The kitchen was well equipped. The bedrooms and bathrooms were all beautifully decorated. The backyard was another tropical paradise that makes you not want to leave the house. The home was basically like a resort that you did not have to share with other people! This home is amazing! Not to mention, it's only a mile away from Atlantic Ave and all the excitement you crave.
The host was welcoming and good with communicating. The home was as pictured, the outdoors lush. (Bring mosquito repellent, as the lushness draws them.) we enjoyed the firepit and pool, and the home was clean and well stocked.

We were in Delray for our son’s wedding! We stayed here with our family and the house contained everything we needed for a relaxing and productive stay. Highly recommend this well appointed home.
This was our second time staying at this property for National Clay Courts. With the grill, the pool and the common areas, there is no better place to stay in Delray Beach! We are excited to come back soon!

We are so pleased to hear how well the house fit your families needs, especially knowing how each family member and their unique way of supporting you through this time to get to your happily ever after!
I was here to shoot a TV show for Outdoor Channel. I’ve been to Florida many times for work and this is, by far, the coolest property we've rented. Very quiet, surrounded by giant greenery, pool and everthing as-described on the VRBO site. We'll be back!

A perfect destination. The place was wonderful and location perfect - A quick 5min drive to the beach and 5min drive to the main drag. We walked to the beach too, very easy! The space was clean and open. The backyard is an absolute paradise. Beautiful pool and lovely table to hang. The rental also has some beach accessories available for use! Would definitely stay again.
