If you're thinking about booking the "Pearl Palace", do it! The home was abundantly stocked from the kitchen to beach chairs/toys! So conveniently located! A short ride on the golf cart (low speed vehicle) to the beach which also had a parking lot just for the lsv's! The pool and game room were huge hits! If I had any questions or concerns the property manager was very quick to reply. We enjoyed our stay so much that we would highly recommend to family and friends as well as stay there again next year!! So many wonderful memories were made!

Perfect Family Stay This was the perfect place for our family of 15. There's plenty of room to spread out. My teenage grand daughter felt like royalty with her very own bedroom, bathroom, and balcony. The beds were comfy and it was very easy for everyone to get ready to go out to dinner every evening because every bedroom has its own bathroom. Such a plus! All the bathrooms have showers so not having a tub made it a little challenging to bathe the little ones but we made do. The kids had a blast in the gameroom. The kitchen was very well stocked. The private pool was great! We found that this home was extremely convenient to every place we went to. Can't say enough good things about this place!
