This was our first stay in south Florida, and it didn’t disappoint! We loved the location of John’s home - great proximity to so many activities. We liked Ocean Reef Park for the beach, and we spent an entire day at John D McArthur State Beach Park (just 5 minutes away) kayaking, swimming, snorkeling, picnicking, and walking the nature trails. We also went to nearby Phil Foster park for the snorkel trail, which was great! We enjoyed dining on the mainland in the Lake Park area as well as Northwood and downtown West Palm more than the options on the island, but we did check out the live music and fruity drinks at some of the local places within walking/biking distance. Location of the home and access to bikes was great since parking on the south end of the island is super limited if you want to visit the Palm Beach inlet and walk out on the jetty to the easternmost point in FL. The pool, fully stocked kitchen, garage, ample outdoor seating, and automatic blinds were some of our favorite features of the home. Beds were so comfy we got a late start some days! It was too hot in May for us to leave the lanai doors open all day, but the full glass wall was still a nice feature, keeping the house bright and open. We had ample space for our group of 5 friends. I would say our only minor suggestion would be thicker cushions on the outdoor dining chairs because we spent so much time out there gathered around the table! Definitely recommend this place for families or small friend groups. We would book again if we visit West Palm area in the future!
