Great place great value!

This unit is a great place to stay. It takes two minutes if that to get to the beach and they have everything you need other than beach towels for the perfect beach day! We have friends and family in the area so IRB is a yearly destination for us and this is by far the best place we have stayed in for this price. While we didn’t meet the owner she was nevertheless available for any questions or concerns we had. We are already planning on staying here next year!

Very nice property

The space is very accommodating and had everything we needed. The little Fire pit area on the back was nice on a chilly evening after a long walk in the beach. We loved the decor on the cottage. Everything about it was comfortable and inviting. I’m a pretty picky housekeeper and like my home to be very clean and this property met my expectations. Everything was spotless!!!

Family Affair

El Palmar was wonderful. We were looking for a quiet getaway since we were taking our daughter and 8 month old granddaughter on vacation and El Palmar was perfect. It was very clean and well equipped. We really enjoyed the screened in porch and the quiet backyard as well. It was a perfect location. A short walk to the beautiful beach, restaurants and ice cream shops!! There is a nature preserve with a lovely boardwalk only a block away with a dog park at one end and a children’s playground at then other. We had a fabulous time. Thank you Mia for sharing your little piece of paradise.

Corona Era

Unfortunately, we arrived just as the COVID-19 virus hit. So we were unable to explore the area and enjoy all that it appears to offer. That said, the weather was perfect and we spent our time alternating between the screened in porch, the sunny backyard, and the under house patio area (great breezes). Since we couldn't eat out, we made great usage of the grills and kitchen. Would like to give this another shot - without the virus!

We loved it!

This was a great property. Very well maintained, clean and very functional. My husband and I stayed here with our dog and had a wonderful time. So many spaces to enjoy the outdoors. The upper deck off the unit was a nice screenroom-perfect for enjoying our morning coffee. Downstairs at ground level there were two hammocks and lots of places to seat people and also a nice gas grill. The outdoor propane firepit was really nice, too. Mia provided two wonder wheelies for the beach, plus umbrellas and chairs. We threw all our stuff in and wheeled it right to the beach, which was a very short walk. You do have to cross a two lane street, but as soon as you press the button on the pole, the flashers go in and the cars stop for you. Lots of restaurants within walking distance, and a dog park as well. This one’s a winner. We’ll be back!

Property was very clean. Short walk to the beach, coffee, dinner. Our only issue was that we could not get the major tv stations (ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX NEWS). And one of the bedroom tvs you could not get past the Roku Home Screen.

Great place; great location!

My husband and I have been staying in Florida as snowbirds for a few years now. This is by far the best place we’ve rented! The host is very responsive and super friendly and helpful! The place was roomy, comfortable, clean, well stocked and updated! In unit washer/dryer was a game-changing feature. All new appliances. Dog friendly. A block from the beach. It was absolute perfection! This host thought of everything! We will definitely be returning.

The place is immaculate, the host is friendly, and the atmosphere is very relaxing.

I recently had the pleasure of staying here with my pregnant wife and dog. We wanted a place to relax and it was an absolute delight. The first thing that struck me upon arrival was the place's cleanliness. It was spotless and well-maintained, immediately setting a positive tone for my stay. The location was perfect for a serene and relaxing getaway. The quiet surroundings provided a much-needed respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life. I found myself unwinding effortlessly, with the tranquil sounds of the nearby beach adding to the peaceful atmosphere. Overall, my experience was enjoyable, and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, quiet, and relaxing beachside retreat.

Wonderful vacation at tropical paradise!

The property was even better in person than the pictures showed. Mia thought of everything so if you do not want to go out to eat, you can just go to the store and buy food and come back and cookout and all the utensils and plates were available. The beds were extremely comfortable and the couch is absolutely amazing! At night we Stayed at the property and cooked out and enjoyed the fire pit. during the day we just crossed the street to the beautiful beach. Will definitely be visiting Mia's place in the future!

Great Clearwater area beach property

Property summary It’s modestly sized and comfortable, so a great choice for a couple and workable for a group of three to four. The neighborhood is a typical upscale Florida beach community. We stayed for ten days in late January/ early February 2023. Communications/ coordination We had good communications with owner Mia before, during and after our stay. Mia was responsive when contacted by text or phone. We had several minor questions requiring communication, and Mia was quick to address these. She was friendly and engaging. We also were introduced to a long term resident next door who was very friendly. Property details As noted, the property is one unit of a duplex. It’s all been updated in the recent past, so all furnishing, appliances etc. are fresh and up to date. All the amenities were as described. Property limitations If mobility challenged, note that the property is on the second floor and accessible only by stairs. This was mentioned in the description but we missed it. Fortunately for us this wasn’t a deal killer. Area comments Many nice casual restaurants in the neighborhood. A quick drive to the mainland gives access to a wide variety of retail stores and more restaurants. We were told that at times the traffic can be heavy but we didn’t experience this (January is perhaps a bit early!)
