We stayed here for Thanksgiving and would definitely come back again! The house is beautiful, has a great layout for families, and the elevator makes it so easy for grandparents and loading/unloading. It’s well stocked with everything you need even to cook a thanksgiving dinner, and the sunrises are beautiful over the dunes. There is a ton of outdoor sitting / dining space as well on the patios, with two outdoor fires, a grill, and two TVs.
Palmilla (the associated resort) was great and we rented a golf cart which you can drive over the boardwalk and to the beach in less than 2 minutes from the house. It’s a 5 min walk. There are two restaurants right on site, and a great pool though we didn’t use it because it was pretty chilly outside. The restaurants at cinnamon shores are also less than a 5 minute drive.
The house itself has a great interconnected audio system, lots of TVs with connected apps, and the mother in law suite is great for a couple who wants a separate area. They even have a baby gate in the bunk room which was very thoughtful.
One thing to note about the Palmilla is that it’s very much under construction - both houses on either side and one behind this house are under construction and they are quite close together. There was mold construction noise even on Thanksgiving. This is not related to the house but something to be aware of more broadly about Palmilla. The houses around this house should be completed in the next 6-12 months, but the area more broadly is several years out from completion. Nonetheless, we knew that going in and it would not change us coming back! The house is so amazing and the location / amenities make it worth it.
Thank you very much for a great holiday!
