A beautiful gem that offers itself accurately as pictured and detailed. The front fountain makes you smile immediately upon arrival at this little oasis. We loved the large private backyard in the daytime for sure but also at night when the lights were amazing across the coconut and palm studded landscape. The access and view from each bedroom and kitchen is perfectly arranged to get in and out. The refreshing pool(3-4 rafts there), hot tub, heated dual shower(stocked w island soaps- lovely!), lounge area and day bed canopy (this was rarely unoccupied and much loved by all) were well used by our family of 6. (Three teens, one preteen) Plenty of sunshine but equally easy to find shade. We enjoyed grilling and eating take-out dinners on the patio as well. It was great to have "extras" such as beach towels, chairs, umbrella, blanket, cooler to use when going to the ocean. The beds, pillows and sheets were super comfortable, and the towels plush and pristine. While the living space indoors isn't large, they maximize it well. The little touches go a long way, even the placement of many decorative mirrors was spot on. An extra plug-in fan in every room closet though the house stayed coolly air conditioned during our 95 degree week. Communication with Mary was exceptional and warm. Ease and flexibility of check in and
checkout times was appreciated.
This location is so close to so much! Blowing Rock Beach 25 mi north, Delray Beach 25 mi south( our boys liked their session at WalkonWater Ski School if wanting to learn/improve skiiing skills from barefoot to wakeboarding) ... with plenty between - including Palm Beach (gorgeous clock and drive!), Phipps Beach (we loved this "private" spot - park just north of the Phipps Ocean Beach Tennis club parking lot, in the next lot. Another tip though: IF you park at the Tennis Club, parking is free from 8am-1pm), Lake Worth Beach - if you like crowds and want to walk the pier. We did get takeout from Bennys ( great seafood!) and Mamma Mia's pizza (HUGE 20" deliciousness) which are located here. Clematis and Rosemary Square aren't far away and there are many stunning houses and scenic ocean view drives within minutes. Plenty of ice cream (try Sloans!) and grocery shops within a few miles.
While many vacation-type activities were limited in FL currently due to COVID, Coco Bungalo was enough in itself to make this feel like a vacation without going anywhere. It was lovely, just as described.
