Extraordinary Getaway: Historic School Transformed into Luxury Oasis

Overall, the home was charming and quaint. Easy to get to and park. The home has a great mix of original rustic feel with upgrades to kitchen and bathrooms. Home was very clean and had right amount of dishes, basics and a few extras to keep us comfortable. One call out is the furniture in the living areas has changed. Not modern like the pictures, in fact quite older. There was a musty smell entering the home but would subside a bit once the AC was going. Also, someone came to trim trees in back yard on Sunday morning before 8a. Noise woke us up.

This is a 1930-era, white stucco, red tiled roof bungalow (at one point a former school) with a pool and beautifully landscaped grounds in a quiet, historic neighborhood north of downtown West Palm Beach. There is plenty of room, with 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, living room, dining room, kitchen, and a small den. The place has lots of character and is well-maintained. Being in a residential area, is a bit of a walk from the home to anything commercial such as restaurants, so one should plan to have a car or to Uber to most places. The (remote) host was quick to respond to questions. Recommended!

Great rental- beautiful property!

We had such an amazing stay here. The architecture and charm of the property completely won us over. It has so much character, but still feels fresh, clean, and thoughtfully designed.The house was incredibly well stocked. Every little thing we needed was already there, which made the whole trip feel effortless. You can tell the host truly cares about the guest experience. They were attentive, responsive, and made everything seamless from check-in to check-out.One of our favorite parts was getting to meet the other guests staying in the cottages. It added such a fun, welcoming vibe to the stay.Everything about this place felt easy and special. I’m already excited knowing we found our go to spot in West Palm and will absolutely be staying here again. Highly recommend.

This house was SO CUTE. I loved that the home was historical. The host stocked it with everything you would ever need. We loved coming back to comfortable beds, a full kitchen, and a pool to dip your feet in. Highly recommend this place.

Really beautiful property. Super clean and well stocked. Would definitely stay here again.

Everything we needed was conveniently located. Very nice home with old world charm.

Wonderful casita. Great location. Well stocked.

Lovely, unique home very close to downtown West Palm Beach. The host was wonderfully communicative and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Overall stay was great. I would definitely stay again. My family really enjoyed the pool. Thank you

The home was very comfortable, attractive, clean and well-maintained, and the nicely landscaped pool area was a great place to swim and relax. Ferney is an excellent host. He provided all of the information we needed upon our arrival, and was highly responsive when we had questions and requests. The house is located in the Old Northwood neighborhood which is a great place to visit with its many historical homes and proximity to downtown West Palm Beach and Palm Beach. We would happily stay there again on our next visit to West Palm Beach and would recommend the property without reservation.

The pictures here are good but they dont really capture just how incredible this place is. You are greeted with the amazing smell of the Ylang Ylang tree as you walk to the door. Once inside you find the charm and the type of rental that makes you never want to leave.The things I look for in a home away from home are all here.The queen-sized master bed was as comfortable as my bed at home so no miserable back pain or lack of sleep. I thi k it is a memory foam type mattress but did not verify.The master shower? Wow! Phenomenal water pressure, huge and 2 heads. Being 6'2, my only complaint of this house is that the heads are a shade low for me, not a deal breaker by any stretch though.The kitchen appliances surpass any that we have ever used. The stove is absolutely amazing.The yard was extremely peaceful and amazingly quiet and relaxing for being in such a busy area. Loved everything about the pool as well.The sheets, towels, soap, shampoo, etc. are first class. Huge, thick towels, sheets that won't let you leave the bed, and pillows that wrap around and complete the snuggle process.The AC was cold, showers were never-ending hot water, and theg do have a Keurig for coffee. Bring your own ice though.I highly recommend and will be staying here again as it is close to everything I need at Bascom Palmer.Fernie was a very oncredibly polite and checking on us without being intrusive at all. Thank you for being such a great host.

Very nice property with all amenities needed. Ferney was a great host, communicated well and was extremely nice. Location was quiet and easy to get to. Old world feel definitely with decor and style of the house, very nice.

Was a great location property was super clean and had a pool that was great to dive in on a hot day

My colleague and I traveled into town to photograph a wedding in Jupiter FL. I wanted a place that would offer us each our own bedroom and bathroom and space to unwind. The pool sealed the deal. Ferney and his wife were so kind, communicative and helpful. The spaces were clean and comfortable. The property grounds are aesthetically on point and the furnishing: are very cool, Highly recommend!

Our family really enjoyed our stay here. It is centrally located nicely between the West Palm beach downtown and also Rivera Beach/Singer Island. Very cozy and quaint place located in a nice quiet neighborhood. If ever coming back to this area, we will definitely try to stay at this VRBO listing again.

We had such a wonderful time! The home was beautiful and well appointed. Loved ending our day sitting around the pool. Ferney was super responsive and we will be back next year! Thank you so much!

Beautiful house in a quaint neighborhood. There are 2 other tiny houses on the property where other guests were staying and we shared the outdoor spaces. We happened to enjoy those guests-so we had a laughing good time with them:)) Ferney (owner) was wonderful! He responded promptly to my texts. Issues were small and not even worth mentioning. I highly recommend!

We came for work and had a great, clean, cozy place to unwind in between meetings. The location was great and the house is charming.

We loved our stay. The home has everything you need to have a wonderful stay. We grilled on the first night, cooked on the second night and enjoyed the pool everyday. Just a wonderful get away and perfect spot to visit students at Palm Beach Atlantic University.

We loved our stay for the week of Christmas! Great location, convenient to both the beach & all the restaurants we wanted to go to, beautiful home, pool was a welcome retreat every day. Would recommend & definitely stay again if we come back to the area.

Great character and great location. Close to diving and kayaking sites, small high street with shops and restaurants, in a nice quiet area.

We needed to evacuate our home in Clearwater when hurricane Milton hit. We found this property on vrbo and grabbed it. Our original booking needed to increase by two days (one on the front end and one in the back) and our host graciously allowed us to add these days with no issues. There was also some weather here during our stay and the host was extremely communicative. I recommend this property 10/10!

From checking in to leaving, it was seamless. The house and property are beautiful and well taken care of. The neighborhood is quiet and we had a wonderful time walking and exploring the neighborhood. We’ll definitely come back when we visit PBI again.
