We enjoyed our stay. Traveled with two kids ages 6 and 8. Pool was wonderful. The restaurant next to the pool had genuinely great food. A walk to the beach was too far for our crew so we drove to Henderson state park beach just four minutes away. They had chair and umbrella rental for $60 for the whole day, $35 for a half day from 1-5 which was a comparable rate to other services it seemed. I wish there was a way to leave the things that we bought like a cooler, beach toys etc for the next group either in our room or on the property. Located conveniently to everything.- Reviewed On: 8/3/2024

The actual apartment was very nice! It was technically walking distance from the beach, but you had to cross the main road and go down to the other side so we just didn’t even bother. It was centralized to pretty much everything so that was very nice! The coffee shop and restaurant were so cute. Overall we had a great experience. Would definitely stay again with our kiddo.- Reviewed On: 5/17/2023
We had a blast, thank you for the memories. For sure will come back next time.Real Joy staff
We loved our weekend at The Palms! The pool area is fabulous and we loved all the games available to play poolside— corn hole, chess, and pool inside the restaurant bar area. It was also wonderful to have the indoor pickle ball court for the rainy Saturday afternoon. It was really great to be able to drive just across the road and park to go to a public beach area. I will say that that area is rather small right across the road. The public access there is not very big, so if you’re looking for a little more room to spread out, you might want to go to Henderson State Park beach area. We chose to drive across the road but you could walk if you didn’t have too much to carry. The condo was just as the pictures I suggested. We had everything we needed, and when we realized that a comforter was missing from one of the bunkbeds all it took was a quick call and they brought it to us which was great. One additionally, nice detail is that the bunkbeds are actually full size beds. Our teenage children were thrilled to have a little more space for sleeping. The view from the balcony is quite lovely. I will say that sometimes the noise of cars on the main drag that is between the condos, and the beach was a little bit loud when sitting on the balcony , but it wasn’t enough to be a significant bother. We had a really great time and we would love to come back sometime.- Reviewed On: 4/30/2023
