Fantastic for kids
We stayed here with friends and had seven kids ages 7 and under, and it was an incredible stay. The home was absolutely pristine and felt very high-end while still being comfortable for families. Since this review is geared toward parents of young kids, here are a few things I would’ve loved to know beforehand: The home is technically a condo, so you do share walls, but we honestly never heard neighbors once during our stay. The garage was stocked with sand toys, boogie boards, beach chairs, and other beach gear we weren’t expecting — such a nice surprise, and I wish I had known before buying extra beach toys. For families with babies or toddlers: no pack and play is provided, but both master closets are large enough to comfortably fit one, which worked really well for sleep. Right outside the front door there are swings and a fun little play area for kids, which our children loved. The bunk rooms are upstairs and made for such a fun kid hangout space. There is construction going on behind the house near the parking area, but it was never disruptive or an issue for us. Overall, we absolutely loved our stay. We’ve stayed at La Palmilla several times now, and it continues to be top-notch every time.

There is nothing not to like about this townhome. It was clean & well organized. The location was perfect as it is close to the Oasis Pool and the beach crossover. We had our 6-year-old granddaughter with us and she loved the swing set on the lawn in front of the town home. The mattresses and linens were great. The ocean can be seen from the two king bedrooms and there are plenty of bunk beds upstairs.

A lot to like about this house it’s very close to the dune dock to get down to the beach being in Palmia is a must for us when we go down so everything is very easy golf cart, chairs, umbrellas, etc. additionally, the house was very clean, minimally, but very nicely decorated, and there were a lot of places to sleep, The issues we had were with Wi-Fi going out a couple times, but there were storms and mostly our issue was that the kitchen is not equipped well enough for cooking for multiple people. I did see this in previous reviews and was hoping it had been addressed, but it has not. Additionally, it should be made more clear that there is not a grill. We brought steaks to make and had to do them on the stove top and in the oven - had I paid more attention to the fact that there was not a grill we would’ve chosen different meals to make, especially since there were not a large variety of cooking and baking supplies. Overall still 5 stars for me bc of the location and cleanliness, and being in Palmilla with access to all of the Palmilla amenities.
