Had an issue with the pool but was resolved within 2 days. We were refunded for the inconvenience of the pool not being heated/working. The inside of the house was very clean, beds were comfy, and comfortable furniture. The outside needed to be pressure washed. Outdoor area was not very clean and really needed attention.

The house was immaculately clean and nicely appointed, very enjoyable. Unfortunately, the pool area was not as well maintained. The screened in cover need to be cleaned of tree debris,the concrete pool deck was very dirty, long over due for a power wash and covered with debris from the overhead trees which got into the pool. If the pool was maintained as well as the house the home would have been a 10.

The interior of this home was excellent; clean and well stocked, except that there was no ironing board and the dryer vent isn’t hooked up. The only real reason why I rated it the way I did is because we felt the exterior was dirty. There’s an unsightly broken fence panel on the grass. The pool area was pretty dirty, including the cushions. It could use some power washing. There were many spiders/webs in the corners of the pool cage and the pool itself looks like it could use a good cleaning.

We enjoyed our stay inside the house! It was clean and the beds were really comfortable! However, we were disappointed with the pool area, it was dirty with cobwebs, leaves on patio floor which I had to sweep up and small pieces of glass was also on the patio floor! That should have gotten the attention it needed for guests staying at this house for the price it cost us for the week!

Our stay at Queen Palm Villa was just what we needed. We loved the layout of the home & its location was close to all the places we needed to travel. The only reason I didn't give cleanliness or accuracy of listing a higher star count is because the back patio area and furniture could have been cleaner. We didn't use the sofa on the patio as it was covered in dust and debris that nature can bring in. The outside fridge area where there are bar stools needs attention. Last thing I would like to mention is that we traveled a long ways to stay at Queen Palm and we arrived a couple hours early. They wouldn't let us check in any earlier which made it difficult to wait after being exhausted from our trip. We found that the house was already clean and ready for an early check in, as we parked near the home and waited, but couldnt. That was disheartening, but all-in-all, our stay was wonderful!

Lovely well-appointed home
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here while visiting with family. It is bright and has up-to-date fixtures and furnishings, including a beautiful master suite. A few things to note though: the pool was not warm enough even though we asked ahead of time to have it heated. We called and requested the thermostat be raised and someone came right away to do that. However, the water never reached over 79 degrees -- the air temp was in the high 70's during and mid 50's at night. The kitchen is "well equipped" with lots of pots, pans, baking dishes, bowls, etc., however, there is only a small salt and pepper shaker and no other condiments. There weren't even Keurig pods for the Keurig. just be prepared to bring all your food and drink supplies. Otherwise, the house is terrific!

The house looks abandoned and unkept from the outside. The pool was never heated and the pool deck was filthy. Dead overgrown vegetation everywhere. VRBO nor the host tried to resolve anything. The inside of the home was clean! The outdoor space was unusable.

Two days prior to arrival we received email saying the property’s garage was not available during our stay. We arrive after 4pm and the front door will not open. Itrip host quickly responded and she sent out a locksmith. The inside of the house was clean and nicely decorated as pictures show. The most disappointing was the outside of the house-several pots in front and back yard with dead plants. Weeds need to be cut (no grass) and fountain grass needs to clean dead off, palm tree needs dead palms removed. Pool deck needs to be power washed. Instructions said there was a small cooler we could use but never found. We have stayed at Itrip properties in the past and this property doesn’t seem to match their qualities.
