Loved the house and backyard area! The primary bedroom mattress wasn't comfortable, the sides felt like you had to get into the middle of the bed or fall off and it was too soft. It wasn't clear how to operate the outside speakers or operate the heated pool and we ran into issues with the main tv. The maint guy was very helpful and professional when he came by. We had a great time overall and it was a nice house for our group. The kitchen worked well and the grill outside was a good size for cooking. The property management company was responsive and very pleasant. Wished there were swim pool noodles to float with in the pool. Thanks!

Great Summer Family Vacation

Very impressed with the house, everything was very clean, well stocked kitchen, beds were comfortable, provided beach chairs and towels. The pool was a good size and heated, the fire pit and hot tub were also nice. Plenty of seating in the living room for the family to sit and socialize.

Relaxing Stay

We really enjoyed our stay at this home. Very clean, very organized and lots of amenities. The pool and jacuzzi were clean and extremely relaxing. The check-in process was easy and the property management was very attentive and answered our questions in a timely fashion. House is in a beautiful location, close to the beach, boardwalk and parks. Will be coming back!

This is the life!

We had the best time at 13 Palms. The house, pool and yard were gorgeous. The house has plenty of space for relaxing in between pool time and trips to the ocean. We rented a golf cart and loved cruising around the neighborhood. The playground nearby was a hidden perk! We will definitely rent here again!
