Evelyn's Palms is a beautiful home. It is lovely furnished with everything we needed for an awesome stay. We spent most of our time in the spacious lanai enjoying the gorgeous heated swimming pool and spa, along with having our meals in the dining area or chatting in the comfortable sitting area or reading and relaxing on the loungers. The kids and grandkids had a blast in the swimming pool. And the location is perfect - so close to shopping and restaurants. What a holiday!!! Thank you!

Loved it - Highly recommend it to recharge your batteries

First time using VRBO and the house did not disappoint. The pictures of the house were spot on and accurately represented the home. Everything you can think of to make your stay comfortable has been carefully considered by the owners. The house is very tastefully decorated and is spotless. Our teen boys enjoyed the pool and hot tub every day and fishing in the canal. We all enjoyed eating outside by the pool and morning and evening coffee on the outdoor furniture. The house is conveniently located to restaurants, the beaches and stores. The neighborhood the house is in is nice and quiet. Really made us wonder why we don't live there! Would highly recommend it.

Es ist ein wunderschönes Haus. Sehr gepflegt und alles in Schuss. Von Fahrrad über Strandstühle bis zur Luftmatratze war alles vorhanden. Wir hatten tolle 3 Wochen! In dieser Zeit wurden wir von SWF Rentals erstklassig betreut. Wir konnten uns immer melden wenn wir fragen haben. Es wurde stets schnell und zuvorkommend geholfen. Vielen Dank, wir kommen gerne wieder :)
