Bachelorette weekends, birthday trips, family vacations — this is the house groups keep coming back to. Heated pool and spa on a private canal, screened lanai with string lights, billiards, and a dock where guests watch the sun go down. Sleeps 10. Hosts respond in minutes and know every great restaurant and hidden gem in Delray. 6 minutes to Atlantic Ave. Kayaks, paddleboards, and fishing gear included. 5 minutes to the beach.
Your group claims the whole backyard the moment you arrive — and most groups decide right then that going out is optional.
🌊 The Outdoor Experience
The heated pool and spa sit at the center of a private canal backyard that gets full sun all day. The spa reaches 104 degrees with excellent jets and underwater lighting. Guests have used it morning, afternoon, and long after the sun goes down. The pool and spa are app-controlled; Guests get access and can adjust temperature and settings directly from their phone throughout the stay. The pool is stocked with floats and surrounded by lounge chairs, an outdoor dining setup, and a BBQ grill for poolside cooking.
The screened lanai runs along the back of the house — string lights overhead, a 55" Smart TV on the wall, comfortable seating, and open canal views. It stays comfortable through Florida's warm months and becomes the default gathering spot as the afternoon turns to evening. The canal view at sunset is something guests mention repeatedly — the light on the water, the quiet, the way the evening feels different here than anywhere else on the trip.
The private dock is what separates this property from most of what you'll find at this price point in east Delray. Multiple guests have specifically mentioned it — other houses in the neighborhood don't have one.
From the dock you can kayak, paddleboard, or fish directly on the canal. Guests have caught peacock bass and other Florida species right off the dock and brought them inside for dinner. Morning coffee out there is something guests mention in reviews without being asked. One group hosted yoga on the dock at sunrise.
Inside the Home
The interior is open-concept, well-lit, and flows directly to the outdoor space. It's a smart home — pool, spa, and lighting are all app-controlled, and Jeanine will walk you through everything with screenshots if needed. The living area is comfortable and social — designed for a group that wants to be in the same room without feeling crowded. A billiards table anchors the second entertainment space and tends to run late into the evening.
The kitchen is fully stocked for real group meals — quality cookware, full dish sets, coffee setup, and a dining table that seats six with breakfast bar seating for three more. Laundry is available for longer stays.
Every bedroom has its own Smart TV. Beds are made with quality linens and guests consistently call out sleeping comfort across all four rooms.
🛏️ Sleeping Arrangements
Primary suite — King bed, ensuite bathroom, electric fireplace, 65" Smart TV
Bedroom 2 — Queen bed, 55" Smart TV
Bedroom 3 — Two Queen beds, 55" Smart TV
Bedroom 4 — Twin bed + Twin trundle
Both bathrooms are fully updated with walk-in shower, bathtub, lighted vanity mirrors, and high-tech smart bidet toilets — a detail guests find unexpectedly great every single time.
The Details Guests Mention
The house looks exactly like the photos — multiple guests have noted it's actually better in person. The pool and spa are guest-controlled via app — set the temperature, adjust the jets, and have it ready before you even walk outside. A fully stocked bar cart with martini and wine glasses is set up and ready — something groups consistently put to use the first night. The mermaid-themed decor makes this a natural fit for bachelorette weekends and birthday celebrations. Driveway parking fits four cars. The kitchen is stocked well enough that groups regularly cook full dinners without a single missing item.
The host responsiveness at this property is genuinely different from most Airbnbs. One guest ordered packages to arrive before check-in — Jeanine put them away safely and then drove over immediately to retrieve them when the guest arrived. Another asked how to use the spa and received a response within minutes, complete with screenshots. That's the standard across every stay.
Repeat guests have stayed at multiple Sunshine State Lux BNB properties and say they never disappoint. This one is the one they come back to first.
A Note on Bathrooms and Getting Around
Two things worth knowing before you arrive. The home has two full bathrooms for up to 10 guests — both beautifully updated and well-appointed. For larger groups, morning routines are smoothest when staggered.
The home is in a quiet residential neighborhood, not on Atlantic Avenue. Downtown Delray is a 6-minute drive or quick Uber. Guests find this easy and many prefer having the separation between the energy of the backyard and the energy of the Ave.
Checkout
No long task list. You leave when you're ready. Multiple guests have mentioned this unprompted and it holds every stay.
