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 16 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.

Military Discount/Other Discounts

10% discount is offered to active or retired U.S. military members, and a special offer will be sent after ID has been verified. Please contact us prior to booking so that we may apply the discount.

We don’t offer additional discounts..so please don’t ask. We believe Sweetpalm is priced appropriately for the area and amenities we offer.

Oasis in Melbourne
My wife and I stayed here for the entire month of March. We found this property to be very well stocked with all the essentials and so much more. It is located in an older, yet well kept and quiet neighborhood... within minutes of lots of shopping. The area beaches are less than 30 minutes away and are very nice and uncrowded. We found the house to be very relaxing and spent hours outside enjoying the pool and tiki bar area. The owners are very gracious and excellent communicators and were quick to respond any time we had questions. The large yard is very nice and promotes lots of privacy from surrounding houses. The kitchen is very well stocked and we loved cooking indoors and outside at the tiki bar area. We really enjoyed our time here and would not hesitate to rent it again.

Tiki Treasure!
My husband and I and our 2 adult daughters stayed here for a week while moving our daughter into her college dorm nearby. The house is stocked with everything you could ask for, and is beautiful and comfortable. The tiki area outside is a fun bonus, along with a fire pit and screened in pool area. Communication with owners was great, there is a welcome book that has ALL of the info you need, and we had a fantastic time. We brought our own board games but there were plenty there as well, and the "kids" had a blast with the trunk full of costumes and funny hats. A couple of very very slight negatives are that you don't have access to the closet in the master to hang clothes, but there are hooks on the front of the doors to hang things. Also, there is a skylight in the master bathroom area that spills into the bedroom. If early light wakes you easily, I would bring a sleep mask. Will certainly stay here again! PS. Dont forget to buy fresh eggs from the neighbor! :chefs kiss:

Florida Beach Trip
The house and pool were lovely. Paula was quick to respond to one minor issue we had with the smoke alarm. Paula goes above and beyond to make sure the kitchen is stocked with spices and everything you could need form kitchen essentials to cookware for any imaginable need. The tiki bar and pool set up is wonderful. This was our second stay :)

Fabulous Stay
I wish there were more than 5 stars to give! We had a wonderful stay. This home is fully equipped with all the comforts. The kitchen is amazing, and has every gadget, utensil, food prep, dining ware, and cookware you could ever want! The beds are so comfy. The pool is refreshing. The tiki bar was a favorite gathering spot. Paula made sure we were happy with everything and wanted for nothing! If you’re visiting the Melbourne area, you can’t go wrong with this home!

Second stay
This is our second stay at Sweetpalm. We had such a wonderful time. The updates to the home are just right. The hosts are wonderful and there if you have any questions. Everything is well maintained. The pool is big and we have a blast just hanging out and swimming all day. We spend all year looking forward to our visits to Sweetpalm. You can definitely tell that Paula and Tom put so much time and thought into making everything perfect for their guests.

Everything was amazing! We were in town for a baseball tournament. It was perfect! The boys loved having the pool to come back and swim. The yard was perfect for them to burn energy out of the house. The kitchen was the best!!! It has everything you need!! We hope to be back!!
