would stay again

Condo unit was on the main road and was right by the pool which meant that there were people right outside your window a lot of the time. however it was a comfortable unit about a block from the beach. would rent again.

Summer Family Getaway June 2021

This was my family’s second trip to Palm Cay. We have stayed in two different units, and both experiences have been wonderful. You cannot beat the location - One minute walk to the sand! Also very convenient for getting groceries, restaurant meals, and souvenirs. Palm Cay #5 is the perfect size for one to two families staying together. Family of four stayed upstairs, and set of grandparents stayed downstairs, more than enough space for everyone to spread out. We really love the pool especially after a hot day at the beach. The kitchen is stocked with all of the utensils you could possibly need. Linens and towels are good quality. Lots of extra blankets and pillows are stocked in the closets. There is even a large drying rack which is great for wet bathing suits and towels since there is not a washer or dryer in the unit (but there is a quarter washer and dryer in the laundry room next to the pool ). Kitchen seats 6 people and is nice! No toiletries or things like salt and pepper are provided, so either pack everything you could possibly need or do a Publix run as soon as you arrive. A starter pack of a roll of toilet paper, a roll of paper towels, Travel size dish soap, some dishwasher pods, and a few garbage bags are provided, but nothing else. It sure would be nice if management could provide a little more. Furniture most definitely needs updating and it’s not very comfortable. It is obvious that it’s been used a lot over the years and really needs to be replaced. The unit is not as well decorated or pretty to look at as some of the other units on property, but that is not a big deal if you spend most of your time outside. If you are looking for a quiet, convenient, spacious place for families, this is the ideal location. We will be back.
