Amazing time with family

My brother lives in Boynton Beach and this was perfect to be near him but have our own space. Yvette was wonderful and super easy to work with. Home is wonderful and plenty of space for everyone.

Excellent location close to everything. Place is a bit tired.

Overall it’s located in a great location close to everything. The house is dated and the pool is not really inviting like in the photo we didn’t use it. . The yard is very buggy due to the “tropical look” of the property. The house was clean but full of salamanders. Property manager was nice and responsive.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 5 of us got together and had a great time! The house had plenty of room for all of us and plenty of bathrooms. The kitchen was well stocked, there were beach chairs, towels, umbrellas, the house was comfortable and cute. We really liked the decor. The yard was nice and we used the pool too.close to the beach (we drove) and Uber to town for dinner. The yard is very private. The restaurants were very crowded but overall good food. We all said we would stay again. Parking could be an issue if you have more than 2 cars so I would check with management.

Modern Golden Girls Vibes

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: This house is immaculate. From the beautifully landscaped yard to the Modern Golden Girls interior design, you will feel every bit relaxed in this Delray Oasis. We never left. My family and I had such a wonderful time. We drove up from Miami for Labor day weekend/birthday fun. We could not get enough of the salt water pool. It's incredibly relaxing and way more healthy for your skin/hair/body. The yard is so beautiful and you get a chance to see chubyy lizards, squirrels and colorful birds scurry about. After a long day of BBQ'ing and relaxing by the pool, you will not be disappointed with how comfortable a nights sleep you'll get in the beds. Everyone in my fam commented on what a great sleep they got. Delray is an awesome city. They have great eateries, Pinball museum, Morikami Gardens and ,of course, the beach. But we didn't do any of it because Mariposa has it all! The flow of the living area was perfect for game night and Karaoke. We also sat through a couple of Harry Potter Movies on Sunday night after cooking a meal in the fully equipped kitchen. I look forward to returning to this house. We brought 4 cars and they fit with a little finessing. Any more than that would probably not be able to accommodate. Oh my gosh, come to Delray and stay in this place! It will not disappoint.

Perfect Restful 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: Wonderful house for a restful family vacation. Spotless and spacious home with plenty of comfortable spaces to read and a large dining room table, perfect for family meals or board games (many games available for use). We loved the decor (sort of a midcentury-beach look with original terrazzo floors) and the well-stocked kitchen (we cooked many meals and the house is close to a very nice fish market and grocery store). The pool area was clean, well-maintained, and beautifully landscaped with numerous seating areas. Beaches are a short drive and the house was also quite convenient to shops and restaurants. Great communication with property management. Would definitely return.

Oasis near the beach

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 had a great experience. The house was fully stocked, more so than most short term rentals we have experienced. The house is adorable with great south florida vibes and an awesome location. Atlantic Ave is about a 30 minute walk and the beach is 19 minutes, but when it's beautiful everyday, who cares!

It was all we had hoped for…just as described. Pleasantly surprised that there was a welcome basket with goodies and a bottle of wine. After a 12 hour drive, this was much appreciated. The house was perfect for us! We will be back!! Thank you.

I was here to shoot a TV show for Outdoor Channel. I’ve been to Florida many times for work and this is, by far, the coolest property we've rented. Very quiet, surrounded by giant greenery, pool and everthing as-described on the VRBO site. We'll be back!

Beautiful and Comfortable Oasis

My family and I stayed here for a week. We had a wonderful time. The house is very comfortable and very private. We travelled with my kids along with the grandparents and everybody had a bedroom with its own bathroom in their own “wing” of the house. Nobody heard the baby cry at night because all the bedrooms are so separated. The pool is a tropical oasis. There is a lot of foliage and it’s gorgeous. However, there are a lot of bugs as a result. Bring bug spray. The beds are very comfortable. Air conditioning works well. The house itself is a little dated from a decor perspective but it adds to the charm. Would definitely stay again. Also, we forgot something and Yvonne, the property manager, mailed it back for me. She went above and beyond.

Loved our stay -- perfect for our family of 5 adults

I affirmatively liked what others have termed the "somewhat dated" feel of the place. Everything was in good working order, and very comfortable. And it's not so standardly modern that it is stripped of character. Kitchen was well stocked. We used the grill and enjoyed making meals there. Would've loved the pool water to be cooler --but there's nothing hosts can do about the Florida heat! I can't think of anything to change. Thank you!

Great Family Home Rental

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family of 7 loved our stay at the Tropical Gem. The pool area was amazing, and we spent most of our time there. Comfortable and clean bedrooms and living areas. PopGolf and two great bakeries are at the end of the street. We picked up fresh croissants every morning.The beach access is 0.8 miles away; a little far to walk and parking is limited. We ended up driving over, dropping over our beach gear, and one person parking the car at home and walking back.
