Smell of Mold and Mildew was very overwhelming.

Was disappointed in this place. The smell of mold and mildew was overwhelms. We were unable to stay more than 1 night of our 3 nights stay that was already paid for. Ac in master bedroom was broken they had a window unit with duck tape around it that still did not keep that room cool. Dust all over the walls bugs in the bathroom and kitchen. Did message the host never heard back so we left and found somewhere else to stay.

Villas

The only complaint I had when I booked it off Vrbo I paid for the price listed. But then got an email from the lady saying the price was wrong and I owed more. I went back and forth with her. Respectfully, neither one of us were snappy with each other. I contacted VrBo because I knew the price paid/shown was the price that had to be honored I was right. And the lady apologized for any stress and honored the price. She was very nice throughout the whole process though. The place was great, clean and nice! Needed more AC power in villa 1. Pool was nice. Grill area was cool. Pool had stuff for kids like floats and corn hole. We would go back again and bring another fan if we had Villa 1. One room was definitely a lot colder than the other. Location was great, we were close everything.

Nice but hot

We stayed in Villa 1. It was clean and good location for us however the air in the living room/ Kitchen wasn’t working but we were able to eventually cool the place down by turning down the air in the two bedrooms.

Home away from home

Very comfortable & cozy villa conveniently located near beach access, shopping & restaurants via golf cart (or vehicle). The entrance to the villa has a sand room where you can place sandy shoes, coolers, chairs, etc... keeping the villa floors as sand free as possible. 2 of the 3 a/c units did a wonderful job of keeping the place cool and regulating the humidity in the air. All in all we highly recommend Shadow Palms & would definitely stay there again!

Nice and simple

Unit was clean and has a nice layout with central kitchen and family room and bedrooms and either side. Property does show better in pictures than in person. Very basic. No view. More like a small townhouse property with I believe 7 units. Bring your own toiletries, no soap, shampoo, etc... Beds were very comfortable and a big plus for cleanliness. Would spend more money to be closer to beach and view.

Recharge time

We enjoyed our short visit. It truly is a comfortable home. After arriving late on our arrival day, we enjoyed setting up our “home”. We were blessed w/good friends that came in on Sunday & also wanted to plan another trip w/their families. This was a much needed time to relax after a death of a beloved family member.

Peaceful

This was the 2nd time we have stayed at Shadow Palms and once again we were impressed. Captains Retreat Villa 1 was beyond what I expected. It was very roomy and clean. The pool is long, beautiful and very peaceful. The other guest were friendly as well. Definitely recommend this place to others!!!

Pictures don't do it justice

Our stay was wonderful. The reservation was in my name and Parents arrived about an hour before we did. The property owner happened to be there and let my parents in early no problem. The unit was clean, stylish and homie. The only negative is that the wifi was a bit spotty.

Great Port A Condo

The property was very maintained. They allowed dogs and don’t have major restrictions. The management/ owners will go above and beyond if you have any issues or problems. They seem like REAL people and I will defenantly stay here again.

Tired, dated, and not well maintained

The pics on VRBO were more forgiving than actual property. Exterior of villas was poorly maintained. Interior was dated and dark. Felt like I was staying in a cave. Paint needs to be refreshed, tile floor should be replaced with something cleaner, brighter, and more contemporary. Grout used throughout was brown. This hides the dirt and is no longer attractive. Coffee table leg was wobbly. Couple of the chairs around the island looked extremely worn. The refrigerator was not fully functional (ice maker didn’t work, filter water trickled out) and it was not as clean as it could have been. I get that beach property wears more quickly because of turnover and the salty air but given the amount I paid for the villa, I expected better accommodations. I was disappointed and would not stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Chris and Jacenda Welsh

Shadow Palm is our family's idea of going to the beach to relax, play, have fun and spending high quality time with family, friends and even business associates.

Why they chose this property

Shadow Palm really does reflect what my family likes in a vacation home...you have privacy. Each villa is a stand-alone home. Only Shadow Palm guest can use or even see the pool area. Each villa has everything you need for cooking, socializing and having fun.

The grounds are beautiful and you can hear the ocean, so whether your vacation group just includes your immediate family or several families in multiply villas, there is enough room and space to relax and enjoy the breeze.

What makes this property unique

Built To Have Fun and Relaxation:
The resort style pool is great to cool off or for sun bathing. It is also a comfortable place to enjoy dinner and cocktails. The pool area has outdoor grills and cabanas.
