About this property

Captin' Joe's Tropical Palm Beach Hot Tub Hideaway

About this space
I'm Captin' Joe, Skipper of "Everglades Edie” the boat I take thru treacherous old Florida jungle rivers. I fight mouthy crocks with sharp teeth, pull explorers from quick sand, face long forgotton’ headhunter tribes, & search for hidden treasures. You’re in my cabin.

My POOL HOT-TUB hideaway is the last tropical paradise in Palm Beach county. You're close to EVERYTHING! Airport & I-95 is 2 miles, bike to beach,walk to shops,etc. but pass thru the private hedge & you're in a different world!
The space
Large full one bedroom cabin (NOT a studio with just one room). Separate bedroom and living/dining room with sofa bed/bathroom and kitchen. You are in the MIDDLE of everything from the beach to restaurants to I-95 and the airport but once you pass thru our privacy hedge and gate you enter into a very special place. Your large 1 bedroom hideaway is nestled in a very private tropical outpost with lush jungle plants, palm trees and lots to n-joy. Right outside your cabin door: the above ground bamboo floatin' & soakin' pool, the hot springs spa under the palm trees, the tin roof meetin’ & eatin’ pavilion complete with a long table and 6 chairs to enjoy outside with friends & family. And scattered inside your cabin and around the outpost you'll fine genuine antiques you won't see anywhere else. But everything you use-bed-bath-kitchen-Cable TV-High Speed Internet is brand new. From the mining cart sofa table in the den to the workspace desk and dining table everything you need is here but so is the fun as you find new things around each corner. This is an EXPERIENCE for adventurers who seek unique places and the flavor of old Florida.
Guest access
Guest have access to all outside front areas of the private outpost in addition to their private hideaway full one bedroom home with private entrance.
Other things to note
Family and friend reunions welcome! Loud parties and large gatherings are prohibited.

Captain Joe’s was a great way to escape for awhile. The decorations used allowed you to feel transported from reality. The jungle hideaway outside made it very relaxing. Both our hosts were wonderful and very helpful.

Great Place! Great Location!

I loved my stay at this location. The owner was always available and ready for any needs that arose. The atmosphere and decorations were top notch. You can really appreciate the attention to detail. It was also very clean/tidy and very easy check-in/out process. The location was also perfect...close to so many great attractions in the west palm beach area.

Jungle paradise

These cabins are chock full of interesting memorabilia! The owner is quite entertaining and regaled us with tales of his travels. The outdoor space was perfect for our group to gather and visit. The location was excellent and within walking distance of many restaurants. The new mattress slept very well and the A/C was perfect. Only 2 drawbacks: the units could benefit from a more thorough cleaning.....the noise from jets flying overhead was sometimes overwhelming.

Thank-you for the excellent review and glad your family reunion was such a success as we heard from everyone staying at our tropical hot tub paradise! We pride ourselves on keeping the property spotless and will do a deep spring cleaning to insure the windows look perfect. Also glad you enjoyed our private courtyard with the outdoor dining pavilion and hot tub for hours on end with your family each day but sorry the unusual airshow one day impacted your enjoyment that afternoon.

Great Location, Fun Vibe

The property is in a great location. Communication with the host was outstanding. Check in easy. The vibe of the property is exactly as described- it was private and the themed furnishings were fun. Cons: the bed was not comfortable, the mattress on the pull-out was not comfortable. Inside the unit was very dark- there are no overhead lights in the living or bedroom- just two soft lamps. The host was wonderful to interact with!

Thank-you for the great review and compliments. The mattress is new and depending on your weight and preference (firm or soft) it's hard to have the perfect one for all guests but we will take another look at the new mattress. The cabin has multiple lights in every room but perhaps you were unaware they are all on dimmer switches so guests can choose their perfect light level and the cabin has multiple large windows in each room so plenty of light without being harsh and easily customisable to each guests desired level. Glad you loved our fun unique theme and the perfect location of our tropical hot-tub paradise!
