Unique West Palm Beach property
The Golden Alligator was one of the most interesting homes we have rented on VRBO. Mai and Eric have made very creative and thoughtful upgrades to this 1920s era home. The bedrooms were very comfortable with high quality linens which made for restful nights. The home is located about five minutes from PBI airport and a similar drive to downtown and Rosemary Square..
Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024

About the host

Hosted by Mai & Eric

Host profile image
I have 4 children, 6 if you include my husband and a German Shepherd Dog. I’m a stand-up comedian and my husband, Eric, works from home. We homeschool our children so we can travel frequently. We enjoy RVing, overlanding and sailing. Eric is the co-host and would be your main contact.

Why they chose this property

We bought this place back from my father because of its unique location and since my husband’s Eric is from New Orleans, we also love old houses. We always like to support local businesses and had and idea to feature arts from local artist. That’s how we learnt about the legendary Highwaymen artist, and paid a visit to Ft. Saint Lucie museum to look at the paintings. Originally, because of the special wood molding on the ceiling of the up stairs unit, we’re going to decorate it colonial tropical style. While looking for bamboo, rattan and wicker furniture pieces, we ran into Palm Beach Regency style of the more affluent Palm Beach neighborhoods. We thought it’s locally unique and represents the county well to the visitors. We then fell in love with the style more and more after spending a lot of time browsing the web for used items that won’t break our bank. As a comedian, I’m also amused to with Eric’s idea about combining the alligator into the theme. It took us 6 months to renovate the front building, we wanted do it right. We truly have fun and take pride decorating it and hope that you’ll enjoy it too. We’re in process of redoing the back building, and then beautify the courtyard garden. Thank you for your stays and support us to finish this unique project.
