Amazing time with family

My brother lives in Boynton Beach and this was perfect to be near him but have our own space. Yvette was wonderful and super easy to work with. Home is wonderful and plenty of space for everyone.

Perfect!!

It was all we had hoped for…just as described. Pleasantly surprised that there was a welcome basket with goodies and a bottle of wine. After a 12 hour drive, this was much appreciated. The house was perfect for us! We will be back!! Thank you.

Tropical Paradise!

I was here to shoot a TV show for Outdoor Channel. I’ve been to Florida many times for work and this is, by far, the coolest property we've rented. Very quiet, surrounded by giant greenery, pool and everthing as-described on the VRBO site. We'll be back!

Excellent location close to everything. Place is a bit tired.

Overall it’s located in a great location close to everything. The house is dated and the pool is not really inviting like in the photo we didn’t use it. . The yard is very buggy due to the “tropical look” of the property. The house was clean but full of salamanders. Property manager was nice and responsive.

Loved our stay -- perfect for our family of 5 adults

I affirmatively liked what others have termed the "somewhat dated" feel of the place. Everything was in good working order, and very comfortable. And it's not so standardly modern that it is stripped of character. Kitchen was well stocked. We used the grill and enjoyed making meals there. Would've loved the pool water to be cooler --but there's nothing hosts can do about the Florida heat! I can't think of anything to change. Thank you!

WONDERFUL

A perfect destination. The place was wonderful and location perfect - A quick 5min drive to the beach and 5min drive to the main drag. We walked to the beach too, very easy! The space was clean and open. The backyard is an absolute paradise. Beautiful pool and lovely table to hang. The rental also has some beach accessories available for use! Would definitely stay again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family of 7 loved our stay at the Tropical Gem. The pool area was amazing, and we spent most of our time there. Comfortable and clean bedrooms and living areas. PopGolf and two great bakeries are at the end of the street. We picked up fresh croissants every morning.The beach access is 0.8 miles away; a little far to walk and parking is limited. We ended up driving over, dropping over our beach gear, and one person parking the car at home and walking back.

Beautiful and Comfortable Oasis

My family and I stayed here for a week. We had a wonderful time. The house is very comfortable and very private. We travelled with my kids along with the grandparents and everybody had a bedroom with its own bathroom in their own “wing” of the house. Nobody heard the baby cry at night because all the bedrooms are so separated. The pool is a tropical oasis. There is a lot of foliage and it’s gorgeous. However, there are a lot of bugs as a result. Bring bug spray. The beds are very comfortable. Air conditioning works well. The house itself is a little dated from a decor perspective but it adds to the charm. Would definitely stay again. Also, we forgot something and Yvonne, the property manager, mailed it back for me. She went above and beyond.
