“A great family getaway in a perfect location!” We had a wonderful stay in October at this updated, clean, spacious cottage. Our two children loved the layout with the bathroom connecting their bedrooms, and my husband and I appreciated the child-friendly, safe setting. It is rare to find such comfortable beds in a rental! The kitchen was well-equipped and modern. The hospitable nature of the owners was felt from the first phone contact to the small, but important details of providing extra linens, detergent and brochures of the area attractions for their guests. We loved the fact that we were only a 3 minute walk from the pool and playground and just a bit further to the beach. Renting bikes, along with the swimming in the pool and at the beach, kept us pleasantly busy, but did not prevent us from having the calm, family-oriented week which allowed us to re-connect. This is a cottage we definitely hope to visit again!

“Me and My Girls' Beachy Vacation” The accommodations were perfect inside and out, about the tropically landscaped property and in a delightful town. So much to do and very exciting. Having a car was a big plus and yet we walked the sights everywhere we went, including Bay Harbor and Harbor Walk. We took an adventurous snorkeling, dolphin watching, shelling tour; and the eats at Margaritaville and Pomoano Joes were beachside and tasty! The condo had it all and we are grateful for the welcoming beautiful memories it helped create. PS. The sliding glass door frames are dangerous to walk through. My 3 year old grand daughter tripped, spit her forehead open and needed medical care at the hospital. Please warn persons about the tripable door frames and their edges.

“A tale of two” The good story: The place is really nice with modern equipment and a great terrace. The location is stunning with great views to the RTJ golf course and good connections to the mainland. The not so good story: We arrived late to a house, which hadn't been cleaned. Towels on the floor, unmade beds etc. It took us a good two hours to get hold of the owner. He managed to get the place cleaned while we ate at a restaurant. All ended well - but it does show a tiny lack of attention from the owner, which isn't very professional. A gas grill without gas adds to this picture. I can only assume the owner is more alert now about these issues, and if so, I have no problem in recommending the place.

“Fantastic view, incredibly clean, well stocked, comfortable, and a GREAT owner to deal with.” I think the headline says it all, but here's a little more detail. This was absolutely the cleanest condo/hotel/motel/home we've ever stayed in. The owner really, really, gives you a place you can call home for your vacation. It's like you're staying at the home of a good friend who thought of everything for your comfort and enjoyment. If it weren't for Penny, I probably wouldn't write this, because I want to keep this gem to ourselves. But for anyone who works this hard to provide such a wonderful place, well, I had to. How many times have you walked into a condo and see that's it not really dirty, but it's not really clean ? How many times have you run out of toiletries, not even an extra garbage bag left for you, no laundry or dishwasher detergent available ? Every single rental we've had, we had to make a shopping list of all the toiletries we'll need for the week. NOT HERE. Except for the food, obviously, EVERYTHING you could need or want IS PROVIDED. This is a very, very thoughtful owner. With new tv's, appliances, beautiful upgrades, you will not want to leave. The view is absolutely gorgeous. In Palmetto Dunes, the vegetation and trees have really grown, so unless you get an unobstructed view like this 5th floor provides, you'll never see the ocean. At the risk of repeating, the condo smelled great, and was just incredibly clean. I don't know about you, but an unclean rental can just ruin your vacation. The first minute we walked in, we knew we were going to have a great week. Ok, my sales pitch is over, lest I share this secret with everyone. Yes, the 5 star reviews are for real, it's well deserved. Thanks again Penny, and we'll see you on our next trip to the island.

“Best stay anywhere in 15 years” We took the whole family to this nice 3 bedroom condo and thoroughly enjoyed the stay with the beach right down the elevator and out the back door. Minutes from many enjoyable hotspots. Pool was not very large but was big enough for my granddaughter and her friend as they had it by themselves quite often. My one piece of advice, when going out to eat, go early! Pia and Christian keep the place in immaculate condition.

“Great place” Water is shallow and beach is clean. Place was spacious and clean. Great location near the gulf. Must stay with kids

“Great location and clean unit” The location of this unit is great. The back gate is just outside the unit and the walk to the beach is an easy one. The walk or bike ride to Coligny Beach Park and the shopping plaza was very easy. It's about half a mile. The beach off Ibis St is quiet and not nearly as crowded as the beach at the Shipyard Plantation club house. The club house beach was great because of the restroom facilities and ability to rent chairs and an umbrella, but our family preferred the quieter beach access outside the back gate. Also, the pictures do not do this unit justice. It was much nicer than I expected. The unit was clean and quiet. Our week long stay was great.

“Perfection!” Karan was so pleasant and helpful. She went above and beyond our expectations. We have visited PCB several times and this was by far the best rental experience both with owner and condo we have had. The little things meant so much to our family like the stroller and the kids dining plates. The music playing when we checked in created a wonderful relaxing ambiance. We loved the location too. Ocean Villa is a wonderfully clean and bright complex. The beach chars were a blessing and we used them every day. It felt like home but even better! We will be recommending this place to all of our friends. Thanks again for a wonderful trip.

“Relaxation, peaceful and beautiful ocean views.” This was the first time I have ever stayed in Florida for spring break. I heard of this rental through a friend. The condo was comfortable, warm and inviting. The location was perfect to restaurants, tourist attractions and shopping. Not to mention, right on the ocean for beautiful views off your balcony while sipping your morning coffee or taking in the beautiful sunset. The heated pool was a bonus for the kids and the short walk to the beautiful sandy beaches was perfect! This was a wonderful rental with a ton of space and all that you could ask for when staying away from home. :)

“Nice” Was one of the nicest condos we have rented it was clean and new. The towels were very nice too we will rent again

“Perfect Family Reunion” Our family is spread far and wide, so when we decided to get together this year we knew we needed to find a big house with plenty of room, near the beach. Bingo! This house was just what we needed. Cooking is a strong tradition in our family. We found all the dishes and cookware, in a spacious kitchen, that were needed to prepare and serve dinner each evening. Since we love food and talking, eating at home together was a requirement for us. The large dining table became the center of our conversations and after dinner games. Perfect! The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious. We had plenty of towels, and the washer-dryer were very convenient. The house was big enough in which to find a quiet corner to read when needed. When some were watching TV, others could retreat to the front porch or by the pool. We were 16 people with an age-range from 10 months to 73 years, and we didn't feel crowded due to the space and arrangement of the house. There is a short walk to the beach and the house is in a quiet neighborhood which was perfect for strolls or jogging. Also, it is an easy trip to the shopping centers, with Publix, Walgreens, wine store, etc. Katie, thank you for creating a beautiful home for us to be in for our family reunion. We have great memories to treasure!
