Beautiful home

21 Palms is a well decorated house in great condition with easy and quick access to the beach. It was well maintained and extremely clean. The outdoor shower is very helpful to clean off the sand and we enjoyed both porches on the house as well.

Perfect for family of 5.

Plenty of space for a family with 3 grown children, nicely decorated, and well within walking distance of the beach, food and other coastal attractions, as well as nightlife. The outdoor shower was an excellent bonus we used often. And very nice to have the wagon and beach stuff to carry chairs across the street. We would gladly return to this property.

So clean and nice!

This house was so clean (I'm a clean freak and was worried) but all of the bedding and towels were crisp and white, clean floors, clean bathrooms! The outside is also so convent (you can sit on the porch). The garage had a wagon full of everything you could need for the beach! (paddle boards, tubes, chairs, umbrellas, etc). The walk to the beach is under five minutes, it's right across from a beautiful beach. Would recommend this place! Can't wait to book again on our next stay!

Comfortable

How was comfortable and roomy. Only dislike was we wished the outside shower worked to help elevate sand in the house. Other than that it was fine.

Firstly, don’t rely on previous reviews regarding the amenities at the beach house. No beach accessories are available; you’ll need to bring and buy your cooking condiments if you plan to cook anything. The house itself is comfortable if you’re mainly using it for sleeping, but it wasn’t immaculate when we arrived—there were even beer cans left on the patio, and the rest of the house could have used a little extra attention. The location is convenient, though; you must cross a main road to reach the public access beach parking lot.

Vacation

The home was clean. It had basic kitchen equipment, new bath linens, all the things it listed. It’s a quick trip to the beach. We enjoyed the games and over all had a good time here. We did find that the water pressure was not the best and two out of the three beds were not comfortable. The motel across the street also had very bright lights at night. This wasn’t a bad place to stay and we would stay again, if the beds were better.

Great location!

The house was very nice, but wasn’t very clean. No front access or handicap assessable. Queen beds weren’t very comfortable. Back deck to pond was nice, but didn’t allow complete access to it without walking through the weeds. Just a walk to the beach was nice and in the heart of everything. Over all had a great time.
