Beach Villa Three Bedroom C2624C

Friends Reunion

Our unit was clean, comfortable and in a very nice location. We slept well, walked the beach and had a great time. The pool just outside our unit was not finished 3 years after hurricane Ian. While we appreciated being on Palm Island for our reunion, the beaches and sunset, the villa we stayed in was very, very dated. The kitchen cabinets, bathroom cabinets(doors loose and off center) haven't been updated since the 80's when the unit was built. The bathroom fixtures were rusting/corrosive, a shower curtain had mold and floor molding not all the way around the rooms. Electrical outlets sometimes only had one plug that worked. All the upholstery needed to be cleaned or redone and part of the patio furniture was broken and all well worn. I "speculate" that because of the extensive damage of Ian, there have not been enough workers to complete all the work on the island rentals and homes. But it's 3 years and this unit hasn't changed since it was built in 1980's when I first vacationed there. The whole area is nice, typical resort for Florida. We would not rent this unit again, but might try another among the many that might be available once all construction is completed in who knows how many years. If insurance has played a big part in getting this unit in better shape, I'm sorry for that, but paint, new grout, cabinet closures, molding and cleaning upholstery should have been done. Rum Bay Restaurant and Café were closed. The general store had very little.

Potential with TLC

I wouldn’t consider this a true three-bedroom condo—it’s really a two-bedroom with two loft spaces that are open to the main living area. The unit itself is in serious need of TLC. While I understand the island is still recovering from the hurricane, the issues we encountered were unrelated to that.

The master bathroom shower was out of order, and maintenance wasn’t able to fix it during our stay. The master bathroom door wouldn’t close properly, and overall, the condo was overdue for a deep clean. We also discovered the oven hadn't been cleaned when we turned it on—leftover food at the bottom started burning, which was an unpleasant surprise.

On the positive side, the front desk staff was very responsive. However, better communication before our arrival would have saved us several phone calls. For instance, all the information we received directed us to get golf carts at Coconuts, but that place is currently being rebuilt.

We’ve visited this island multiple times, but unfortunately, this was our most disappointing stay. That said, the shells on the beach are as beautiful as ever!

Great location.

We had a fun family vacation. The location was great . Very close to the pool and beach. The service staff at the resort were very good.

Beautiful resort friendly staff

We had the most wonderful time. We we here for my daughters wedding. Everything was beautiful. Every single staff member is helpful and so nice. Accommodations were great, and the beach is such a dream. We will be back!
