Lori and Rich were exceptional hosts! I stayed in their beautiful home for 5 weeks. The location is perfect and the home was beautifully decorated. Any concern I had during my stay was addressed immediately. There was a bit of construction going on in the surrounding area which made things a bit noisy but certain did not ruin my stay. I would absolutely stay here again.

A great stay!

Definitely a great stay! Lori was available to help us with whatever we needed. The house is in a great location. Close to Atlantic Avenue but without all the noise and people! The neighborhood is cute and very safe; walkable to great restaurants. One morning we walked to a great spa for a massage. Trader Joes and Whole Foods close by for groceries. We arrived later in the day and it was a nice surprise to have water already in the refrigerator and cookies on the counter. I cooked breakfast most mornings and Lori has every kitchen appliance you need. We will definitely stay here again!

Great house!

Wow!! This owner, this house, this neighborhood all made for the perfect vacation in paradise!! Lori, the owner, left no detail untouched. The furnishings were beautiful, the appliances were top of the line, the bed was so comfortable, there was a great patio, a full array of cleaning products, beach chairs and all the cooking utensils, dishes, bowls and pots and pans that you would need. There were also cooking utensils and dishes to use on the patio when we cooked on the gas grille. Lori is an award winning interior designer and her talent showed in this beautiful house!! And, we were walking distance to Atlantic Ave and all the great restaurants! We will definitely be back!!!

Lori is like having a personal concierge

First of all, Lori , our host, was amazing. She was available 24/7 and when she might be out of pocket for few hours she would text me with a back up contact. Secondly, the little boutique pied de terre in the heart of Delray was just epic. My daughter (11) and I rode bikes every day to the beautiful beaches, rode into town for ice cream and even rented a golf cart for a few days to give her her first “driving” lessons. The place has everything you could ever think of in the kitchen and the patio with the bbq made for a lovely dinner time. Also, last but certainly not least every morning we would bike two blocks to Tge French Bakery to get what I have to say is the only truly authentic French baguette I have ever tasted this side of the pond. Stay here. Trust me it’s la home away from home. Thank You Lori

My Home Away From Home~ Just Perfect!

Since my daughter just gave birth and lives on the same street, this was a perfect choice although I had no idea how beautiful, clean, fresh and perfect the property was just doors away! I could live there because not only is the location to downtown, but the owner just did a beautiful job with the new renovation. The items and furniture that are in the home are new, clean, and modern. I travel all the time and I am obsessed with clean places to stay and I highly recommend this charming property! It's just appointed perfect! Now that I gave the home such a rave review it will probably never be available for me!!
