Five Palms Beach House is the culmination of years of renting mediocre vacation properties, dreaming of the perfect vacation destination/house and finally planning and building it. This is our families' vacation home and no detail has been overlooked. You will find luxuries and amenities that you will find at no other property. Because again, this is our families' vacation home that our family wants to share with you. And to anyone that has rented before, you know the difference. If you want to walk out the door and snorkel and/or fish, get the best lobster pizza EVER and walk down 3 miles of beach and not see another person day after day, this is the vacation home for you. This house is meant to be enjoyed with a relaxed, laid-back interior that is both comfortable and luxurious. Our home is kid friendly and adult happy!
We have 7 bedrooms in the main house and a 2 bedroom guest cottage with the main house comfortably sleeping 18 and the cottage sleeping up to 4 adults.
We have traveled a lot as a family and I can say Five Palms is one of the best houses we have ever stayed in. We had 20 in our group from grandparents down to 6 months old . The house and guest house were large enough to house us all with plenty of room for the grown ups to enjoy coffee on the screened in porch while the children played in the game room . The beach was amazing , the pool was great, and we all had fun learning to play pickle ball . Berle cooked all out meals and they were amazing . She also answered our many questions . Her husband Jillian kept the grounds so nice and quickly fixed anything that needed attention. Susan, the owner , was the best to work with . She always quickly answered any questions I might have and sent me lots of information before the trip to help me plan. If I could give it 100 stars I would. We can’t wait to go back !
We just returned from 5 Palms in early April and had the best Spring Break vacation. The house is just as wonderful as it looks in the listing. We had 4 families and 5, 16-year-old boys. The setup of the house was perfect for our group. Everyone had their space and the boys loved having their own space downstairs. The screened porch was wonderful to enjoy our coffee and Beryl's Mom's delicious cinnamon buns in the morning or wind down with a cocktail in the evening! The pool was wonderful and the boys loved hanging out there after a day on the beach. We played pickleball, beach volleyball, and basketball, but I think our crew enjoyed being able to snorkel off the reef in front of the house the most! Beryl, who manages the home, and her husband Julian, who takes care of the grounds and the pool, are nothing short of true treasures! We enjoyed the time we spent with them and all the meals Beryl prepared for us. We ended up having her cook more than we planned because everything was so delicious! This was a dream vacation at a dream destination in the perfect home! We are already looking forward to another stay at 5 Palms!
Five Palms is a gem. We’re so lucky to have stayed here. The house and setting are perfect in every way. I wouldn’t change a thing.
This house comes fully stocked with everything you might need including water toys, life vests, snorkeling gear, fishing gear, and sailboat. Lots of extras you wouldn’t expect. There are a few local food options but I would highly recommend the optional cook that keeps the house up. The best vrbo that we have stayed at.
Our home at The Five Palms house was the perfect post holiday trip that my family needed! We had plenty of room to spread out , the house was very well stocked, and we loved the convenience of the beach and pool right at the house. The pickle ball court was also a huge hit! The house manager and her husband were more than helpful! Hope to go back sometime soon:)
Totally relaxing stay. Felt off the grid for sure. House was everything as promised. Thoroughly enjoyed Beryl and Jullian.
Three generations of our family (10 in all, ages 2 to 82) rented Five Palms Beach House for the week between Christmas and New Years 2019-2020. Five Palms exceeded every expectation we had as a place for our family to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary. What is not clear from its website is that the home is blessedly alone on its own stretch of beach facing the Atlantic. We had our own surf, our own beach boards and kayaks (provided by the host family), our own ample inside space with the main rooms looking out over the surf. With its “bohio” (palm-covered porch on the sand by the waves, its wooden deck at the side of the house for watching the stars, its gem of a swimming pool on the non-Atlantic edge of the home next to its Pickle Ball court, our clan had a fully-equipped and beautifully maintained isolation that is almost never found in the rest of our crowded lives. Five Palms is not a resort; it is its own private treasure of a place. You are not renting a commercial vacation beach house, you are sharing someone's well-equipped home. There are a variety of spaces for small group discussions or large group gatherings (a favorite of ours was the breezy screened-in porch overlooking the ocean); the range of activities available at the house kept us coming back from any Island excursion glad just to be “home.” The support staff led, by Beryl (home keeper) and her husband Julian (outdoor manager), made us feel like we were enjoying an informal Bahamian version of “Downton Abbey.” We happily hired Beryl to prepare four of our six evening meals—and relished not only her dinners but also her leftovers. Note: Beryl cooked to meet the needs of our Celiac-affected family and made no big deal of it; the chicken, pork, stone crab legs, and fresh-caught lobster were delicious AND gluten-free. Our interactions with the owners were special -- positive, useful, friendly. Good people all. Our family loved every bit of our stay, and hope to return. (To wake up to the sound of surf and shore breezes and to spend the night looking at stars is well worth the hassle of getting through Bahamian airports.) R&C Morgan
We have rented this home 3 times, and it has been amazing every time. We travel with a large group of children and adults. The home is decorated perfectly and stocked with everything needed for a stress free trip. The location is rural, so if you have a group looking for a “party scene” or “night life” this is not the property for them! We like to cook, read on the beach, snorkel and sit by the pool so this home is perfect! We always rent the van so we can go to Governor’s Harbor for the Friday night fish fry, go to the grocery store and do a few day trips to the pink beach and Tippy’s. It is a beautiful and relaxing property.
We went to five palms not really knowing what to expect. We had never been on a real vacation before and we were traveling with a 10 month old child. We were absolutely blown away at the piece of paradise that is five palms. The property is so private, and peaceful. The beach is amazing and unlike any other I have ever been to. We never saw another person on the beach the whole time we were there. It was like we were on our own private little island. The house was stocked with absolutely everything you could imagine/want or need. There is no easy way to explain how nice it was to feel like they had literally thought of everything. There were beach toys, pool toys, house toys, kitchen gadgets galore, super comfortable beds, lots of space and just a really great vibe to relax in. We spent a lot of time on the screened in porch. As a group it would be where we reconvened after the day to watch the sun go down, enjoy some drinks, listen to the ocean and enjoy the sea breeze. The stars at night are amazing because the island genuinely gives off no light pollution. It was one of the best sky's I've ever seen. All in all, the property was absolutely amazing and exceeded every expectation we had. The staff are SO good at what they do and really great people. Beryl's cooking is the absolute best. It was an incredible trip and we will be back. I don't think this is the kind of place you could only do once, it's genuinely that good.
There really are no words to adequately describe the beauty and seclusion of The Five Palms homes and property. The utter relaxation our entire family felt and the time we were able to focus on each other because of it’s seclusion, is unmatched. The hours of conversation under the beach tiki, the late night swims, the snorkeling, watching the moon rise over the ocean, the daily am conversations with Julian, the delicious Beryl meals - memories we will never forget and I’m just scratching the surface. The house and guest house was the perfect accommodations for our group of 12 adults and 3 children. And if you’re bringing children, they have everything at for them - from high chairs, pack-n-plays, toys, books, coloring station, movies and more. There is a nice sized grocery store about 15 minutes from the house, but hire Beryl to make as many dinners as possible! Delicious and affordable. If you want to fish or snorkel, definitely bring your own gear. The website says there are glass bottom kayaks, but according to the caretaker those are long gone. They do have two that work good, sans the glass bottoms. We will absolutely be back. All of us are in agreement that we have to go back and we have to stay longer. It’s totally worth the day of travel!
