Condo

We were blown away with how clean the place felt. Normally when we stay at hotels we touch the bare minimum & walk around with socks as we never feel like it’s really clean, this place felt amazing. We loved it so much so that we tried to extend our stay a couple nights but sadly for us, it was already booked up. The only thing we avoided was the arm rests on the couch as they needed to be cleaned, but that is so minor compared to the overall experience. We will definitely book here again! If you bring a pet, be aware of all the stickers in the grass. I found the best place was to walk the dog by the dumpster and grassy field. (Although a large fearless coyote tried to approach us one night.) Great location to the water, beach, little grocery, gas station… yet still felt like we were out in the middle of no where. I highly recommend this place!!

Can’t say enough great things about the Palmilla Pearl! Perfect location and view. The decor and finishing were outstanding. They thought of everything down to labeling items for ease of use. We will definitely be back!

House

My family had the most memorable family reunion at Palmilla Pearl. Twenty-two family members ranging from three months to seventy-one years old gathered at this home, which was everything we hoped for and more. From the moment we arrived, it felt warm, welcoming, comfortable, and safe for all of our toddler-age children. The layout of this beautifully decorated home gave us plenty of space to gather, laugh, and share meals in the state-of-the-art kitchen, yet provided several places to retreat for private time. Several highlights of this lovely home included a third-floor patio with a charming fire pit and an eighty-five-inch screen TV where most family members gathered comfortably at the end of the day. Additionally, the heated pool was a hit with the kids, yet also provided entertainment for the adults via an outdoor TV. The outdoor ping-pong table also provided hours of entertainment for all ages. The game room is equipped with a console that both children and adults really enjoyed. It was also very convenient to charge our electric car in the garage. Clearly, the host truly cares about their guests' experience with all the comforts of home provided! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with our family.
