Description from owner

Description

Enjoy yourselves, relax and be happy. Terrific for Couples Getaway! Very Private & Charming tropically landscaped getaway home centrally located just off South Florida's Antiques Row in West Palm and just minutes from the pristine beaches of the Atlantic Ocean in Palm Beach; nearthe airport, downtown West Palm, Art Galleries, Worth Avenue, Golf, Deep Sea Fishing, Malls and Fine Restaurants etc.

El Cortijo is a tastefully decorated house, stylish, very comfortable, beautifully appointed and COVID clean. The modern kitchen is completely equipped. There's a huge one piece French Oak dining table for great dinners and conversation, plus a breakfast bar for less formal eating. Each bedroom is an oasis in itself. The lush landscaping is simply gorgeous. Exotic palms surround the house. The front garden has a wonderful zen-like feel with a little bench for contemplation or just a spot to be alone. Of course the salt water pool is the centre of activity. The beautiful sandy beaches of the Atlantic are just minutes away.

El Cortijo is located just off Dixie south of Belvedere Road and north of Southern Boulevard and a short walk from the Lake Worth Lagoon. There's excellent jogging by the lake.

The airport is two miles west, the ocean is less than a mile east and downtown/City Place/Clematis Street is a mile to the north. Interstate 95 is nearby using either Southern Boulevard or Belvedere Road. The Flagler Museum is close by as are The Breakers, The Norton Gallery, Palm Beach Zoo, Singer Island. Disney is 2 hours away.

All in all a great location and oh so very private!

COVID-19 restrictions and expectations are in effect. We are taking utmost care in preparing El Cortijo for our guests. It's a very special place. You will be pleased.

Thank you.

Please Note! El Cortijo is NOT a party house.

Getting around

While guests often say they hardly leave the house once they arrive, we think it is best for guests to have a car as there is so much to see -- so many nice beaches and places to go. Palm Beach County has a bus system and there is a bus stop nearby. It is a very short walk -- a couple of blocks -- over to the Intracoastal's Lake Worth Lagoon the other side of which is the Island of Palm Beach with Mar-a-Lago clearly visible.

Interaction with guest

We wrote up a guide to help guests negotiate their way around the region with tips on shopping, directions to the beaches, attractions and a bit of history and so forth. We send this to you upon booking. Closer to arrival we provide what we call our orientation guest notes which are just helpful notes to make it a simple matter to settle in upon arrival. There is no need for concern about an exchange of keys as we have keyless entry for which we provide the code. Sometimes we are in Florida at the same time as guests. A lovely older couple watch over our homes there and are generally available and of course we are available all the time by telephone, text and email. We enjoy having a relationship and want our guests to be very happy.

Response from the owner Thank you for your thoughtful review, Renée. We're glad you were pleased with EL Cortijo. You mentioned the planes .. They get re-routed whenever the president is in town and are more evident as all aircraft have to avoid Mar-a-Lago, which is a mile away as the crow flies. Nevertheless lots of people enjoy seeing jets -- especially all the Palm Beach corporate jets. The house is sound-proofed -- which you may have noticed. Thank you again, Renée. It was a pleasure all along. Best wishes, David and Lee
