Family stay at Orchid Cottage in Delray Beach Florida.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed here many times. It's a great place to get my mother (lives in Delray Beach) and our family together. Our granddaughter has time to warm up to her great grandmother during meals and lounging around the pool. Backyard is very nice and the location is perfect for access to town. The only reason I would hesitate to recommend is because it is booked solid for most of the year. That makes it difficult to book it when we would like. lol We are very satisfied with this property, it is excellent!

Fabulous get away

I almost don’t want to leave a review because I’d love to keep this place all to myself! We booked very last minute and felt like we hit the jackpot when we walked in the door! It is like a private oasis but close enough to the avenue to walk everywhere. The landscaping is beautiful and the layout of the house is terrific. Every detail accounted for in this home! We’ve already booked our next stay!

The location is a few blocks from everything in Delray -- Shops and Restaurants on Atlantic Ave, Pineapple Grove Arts District and the beautiful Atlantic Ocean. The house was immaculate and located in a tranquil neighborhood. We really enjoyed the combination of indoor and outdoor living spaces.The host was responsive to requests prior to our booking and we didn't need to contact during our stay. Keyless entry made check-in a breeze!Highly recommend :-)

Girls trip!

The house was absolutely amazing and perfect for a girls trip. It was fully equipped, beds were very comfortable and the location was perfect. The pool was amazing and the backyard made us feel like we were on a tropical island. The only frustration, not complaint was that the main tv was so difficult to use. Would have been easier for tech savvy people but we managed. Would highly recommend the house for anyone looking for a great place to stay in Delray!

Girl's Weekend Retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved this house! The six of us had comfortable sleeping arrangements and lots of space to be together and to be in small groups. The outisde provides several seating / dining options and the pool is beautiful. Connecting to the house wi-fi and surround sound was easy and we played music all weekend. The kitchen was well-stocked and we did some cooking. Delray has so many options for breakfast, lunch, happy hour and dinner - we ate out most of the time. The house is so close to everything. We would stay there again for sure!

Paradise in Delray

I’ve been coming down to Delray Beach for over 40 years so I know the area well. We absolutely love this home for our family of five! Great location by Atlantic Ave. We spent mornings at the beach and afternoon at the pool. Private yard and it provides everything you could possibly need. We’ll be back next year!

The attention to details really made it feel like home, from a well appointed kitchen, to the spacious sitting areas. The outdoor sitting areas and pool really are a private oasis. Quiet enough that you forget you are an easy walk from the great shops, bars, and restaurants of Atlantic Ave. We will bookmarking this property as a favorite for our next visit to Delray.

Beautiful home but not a great stay for us

This is a beautiful home but, unfortunately, we did not have a great experience. The pool had what appeared to be an algae problem that we discovered immediately upon arrival. Pool maintenance came out twice in next few days but that did not help and pool remained unusable. We had issues dealing with property host to get a resolution (they knew of pool issue before we arrived) and ended up contacting VRBO directly and leaving early. Finally was able to speak with property owner on day we were departing (through the courtesy of the pool maintenance person calling him for us) He was very helpful and he did refund part of our stay. The home itself is beautiful and in a great location. Unfortunately for us our vacation was cut short by lack of a useable pool and no agreeable response from the property host.I appreciate the resolution from the property owner to refund a portion of our stay.

Amazing Location and Beautiful House

We stayed for a month at the Orchid Cottage. First, the location is amazing, such a short walk to the downtown and beach all all the great dining and shopping. The house is roomy, private, and has a great pool. The enclosed backyard was great for our dog, and was very beautiful. Unlike many other rentals we have had, the cupboards had many items that made it easy not to have to shop for everything that you needed for a longer stay. Property manager was great, super responsive, and helpful. We loved our stay here and would highly recommend it. Hard to find something so private and relaxed but so close to everything that is great about Delray.

A little piece of paradise in Delray

I cannot say enough good things about this property. The floor plan/set up of the home works perfectly for a family (we brought our parents and kids) or 2-3 couples. The outside space is amazing, the landscaping is just stunning. The lot is SO much bigger than you would guess. We spent the majority of our time in the pool, tons of outdoor seating & umbrellas. They even had beach chairs, towels and umbrellas for a beach trip. Location was amazing, just a couple blocks from the Ave. We loved walking everywhere. Just overall very happy with our stay and will definitely be back.
