We enjoyed our stay, it was a clean, quiet spot. Not really walking distance to any restaurants or the beach, but a short drive.

There are a bunch of restaurants that are walking distance to the house. They are located on Old Northwood Village. They are approximately 8 streets over which is a 12 to 15 minute walk.
This property is well cared for, had literally everything we needed (umbrella, coolers, for example), and was super convenient to downtown, shopping, and beaches. I would do it here again.

We always encourage our guests to communicate with us during their stay if they feel that there is anything we may have overlooked. This way, we can accommodate or address any concerns and make enhancements whenever possible.
This property is beautiful, the cottage was adorable, comfy, and the perfect size for my husband and I's short stay. The salt water pool was beautiful and we really enjoyed it. Location was very close to everywhere we wanted to visit in palm beach, and we brought our scooters and enjoyed a fun scoot around the area. Highly recommend!

About the host

My name is Ferney Lopez and my wife (Geovanna) and I love to travel. If I were to retire today I would spend most of my time traveling and trying different foods from around the world. Since I can't afford that luxury yet, I'm a web designer/graphic designer by trade. My wife is a paralegal and real estate agent.
Why they chose this property
We have stayed in enough places to know what people like and want from their vacation experience. When we purchased Vieja Escuela we knew that it would be a success because its proximity to the airport, downtown, restaurants, beaches and other entertainment venues. We fell in love with the charm and character of this house and wanted to turn it into a vacation paradise. What gives this home its character are all the rustic features and decor to match it. We understand that many people want to experience the latest technology and shiny new floors and amenities, but there's something about the imperfections of old home that make it alluring.
What makes this property unique
The proximity to shops, entertainment and restaurants make this place a great choice for families. We have paid attention to detail when selecting the furniture so that it would compliment the Spanish-style home. The pool renovation has really brought the house to life so that our guests can enjoy Florida's beautiful weather.
