Welcome to Tropic Palms — a Dwell Magazine-featured designer retreat.

Welcome to Tropic Palms — a Dwell Magazine-featured 3-bedroom designer retreat in the heart of Delray Beach. Newly renovated by an award-winning architecture firm, with a heated pool, chef's kitchen, and Sonos throughout. Sleeps 6 in king with ensuite + king + queen.

You'll feel it the moment you open the door: this isn't your average vacation rental. Tropic Palms was reimagined from the ground up by a renowned, award-winning design-and-build firm and featured in Dwell Magazine — the design world's stamp of approval that you can see in every line, finish, and fixture.

We built this home to redefine what a beach rental should feel like. Three bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, a heated pool, and a kitchen that genuinely deserves the word chef's. Sleeps 6 adults in real beds (two kings, one queen) — no air mattresses, no compromises.

Inside

Open-concept great room, designer furnishings, and a smart TV
Separate poolside den — air conditioned, smart TV, adjacent to the pool, perfect as a second lounge, kids' hangout, or remote-work nook.

Chef's kitchen with new high-end appliances, generous counter space, and every tool a serious cook actually wants — built for entertaining, not just reheating and a dining area that seats the whole group

Three distinct bedrooms:

Primary suite — King bed, ensuite bath, walk-in closet, blackout shades
Second bedroom — King bed, generous closet, blackout shades
Third bedroom — Queen bed, generous closet, blackout shades

- Morning coffee at Subculture, Death or Glory, or any of a dozen cafés within a short walk
- Public pickleball and tennis courts; the Delray Beach Open is a 10-minute drive
- Pineapple Grove Arts District, Old School Square, and the Cornell Art Museum — all walkable
- Day trips: Morikami Museum & Japanese Gardens (15 min) · Wakodahatchee Wetlands (10 min) · Worth Avenue & Palm Beach (25 min) · Boca Raton (15 min) · Fort Lauderdale (40 min) · Miami (55 min)

Most of our guests park their car on arrival and don't move it again until checkout.

We're new to the VRBO platform but have had many renters and guest who truly enjoy this home. Booking a vacation rental is a leap of faith — we've stayed in dozens ourselves and built Tropic Palms to be the one we wished we'd found. If you have any questions before you book, send a message. A real person will write back, usually within the hour.
Reach out, lock in your dates, and we'll have the lights on, the pool warm, and the Sonos cued up.
