Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication
Property was great! Plenty of room for a family of 5! Loved the pool and being close to town!
House was very nice and clean. It was nice to have toiletries in the showers like a hotel and plenty of paper products, not the one roll of toilet paper starter kit that you get in most places. Sarah was great! Great communication and responded quickly to any messages. Thanks for a great stay!

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the home and appreciated the extra touches and amenities. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime.
This property is just as advertised, and we very, very much enjoyed our stay here and recommend anyone rent from Vibrant Vacations and this property. It was the perfect size for our group of five people, including my seventy three year old, dad and sixteen year old daughter. We enjoyed being very close to restaurants. The grocery store, Tarpon Springs, and Honeymoon Island. There was nothing we lacked, and the neighborhood is quiet, safe and family friendly. We will definitely consider renting here again without hesitation.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review we’re thrilled to hear your group had such a great stay at The Painted Palm. We’re so glad the home, location, and neighborhood were a perfect fit for your family, and we would absolutely love to host you again in the future!
We booked this house for a graduation trip for my oldest daughter. We absolutely loved the house. It was well furnished, conveniently located to places we wanted to go to in the area, and we loved the private pool! Sarah was always there when I had questions and quick to return my phone call when needed. I will definitely be booking with her again!.
