I stayed at Fern Cottage for 7 weeks while interning at the Norton Museum of Art. The location of the house was ideal, close to the water, the museum, food options, and social opportunities. The house itself was lovely, I spent a lot of time at the pool out back, and hanging out with my two roommates in the living room. It was spacious, and I felt that we were all able to get the privacy we wanted, and come together to hang out, when we wanted.
Bill and Jacqui were the best hosts ever. They were so kind, quick to respond if issues came up, and generous. It was so nice to come into a new house already stocked with snacks and coffee. I also enjoyed getting to chat with Bill and Jacqui every couple of days outside our house. They were around regularly and checked in with us to make sure we were doing alright. Bill had connections with everyone in West Palm Beach, and was willing to help out with my bike, e.g. lending an air pump or connecting me with people who might ship out a bike. I had a great experience at Fern Cottage, would give it an 11 out of 10, recommend it to anyone, and I hope to be back at some point. I loved West Palm Beach, and having such wonderful hosts and house definitely helped make the area feel like home.

I stayed at the Fern Cottage as a long-term housing option this past summer. I was initially nervous about living somewhere I had not seen before, and with 2 other people, I had not yet met. The second I walked into the house, any doubts I had about it not being suitable were gone. The space is absolutely beautiful, and the owners ensured we had anything we could possibly need during our stay, including fully furnished rooms, a well-supplied kitchen, and information about local attractions. The house is also spacious and designed to comfortably fit 3+ people. Because there were several common areas, we were able to hang out together and relax by the pool, watch TV, or even cook a meal! And because we each had our own greatly sized and beautiful bedrooms, there was plenty of space for us to go to if we wished to be alone for a bit. Bill and Jacqui were INCREDIBLE hosts. They were always happy to answer our questions and help with any concerns we had about the house (though there were not many) and about the area in general. I felt totally safe living at the Fern Cottage and didn’t worry about anything but living it up in such a gorgeous place! I would DEFINITELY stay at the Fern Cottage again when visiting the West Palm area.
