Description
After a day enjoying all the Space Coast has to offer come back to your own private oasis!
Our home “Sweetpalm” is spacious and comfy with a large pool, and a super cool tiki bar on an acre in a country setting. We are an hour from the gates of Disney, and about seventeen minutes to beaches. Close to golf, restaurants, shopping, eco adventures and just 14 miles to the Space Coast Complex.
The kids will entertain themselves in the pool or playing a game of badminton or bean toss. The guys will hang in the tiki bar watching tv, playing ring toss, maybe even drinking a beer as they cook something wonderful on the grill. After dinner, maybe s’mores at the backyard fire pit. Even your doggies will be happy in the enormous fenced in back yard.
The Layout
Sweetpalm has a split bedroom plan with an open living and dining room, a wood burning fireplace, a game nook off the gourmet kitchen, comfy beds, smart TVs, and renovated bathrooms. Sweetpalm comfortably sleeps six with a king in the master suite, one queen and two twins. A pack and play is available if needed.
The Kitchen
Easily whip up delicious meals in the fully equipped gourmet kitchen. We live in Sweetpalm from October till end of May so this isn’t your typical rental. It is our home and we love to cook. We have pretty much every kitchen gadget or serving piece you will need, All Clad and Le Creuset cookware, a lobster pot, a paella pan, even a double boiler if you need to melt chocolate. We have an Instant Pot, Crock Pot and an air fryer. If you are the first one up, make a k-cup while preparing a full pot of coffee for the rest of your gang. You are welcome to use any of the pantry items, spices, flour, sugar, oil, etc.
The Neighborhood
Sweetpalm is in a safe and quiet country neighborhood on a dead-end street, but still convenient to shopping and adventures. The wooded property across the street is owned by a local rancher and is home to deer, turkeys, rabbits and every once in a while cows. We have neighbors with chickens and you can even buy fresh eggs two houses down.
Pets
We are happy to host your small well behaved dogs but do require you to obtain written approval from us first. There is a pet fee of $100.00. Because we allow dogs, if you have pet allergy issues, Sweetpalm will not be a good fit for you.
Security
We feel very safe in our neighborhood. We live in an area where the neighbors all know each other, we have golf cart parades and block parties and we all look out for each other.
In addition we have installed a security cameras on the front of the house. The cameras are aimed at the street and driveway. A picture of the area the cameras record are provided in the guest book for you.
We have a security alarm on the door going out to the pool that you may set if you are traveling with young children.
