About this property

Your Private Tropical Oasis

I welcome you to this special piece of paradise in the midst of our West Palm Beach City energy. Once on the other side of the gate, the Zen environment of The City OASIS can immediately energize your soul, perhaps have you shift in to another reality for a moment in time. Enjoy your own cottage, shower under the light of the moon, drink alkaline clean water, sleep on organic cotton sheets on a very comfy mattress. The cottage includes full access to the tranquil pool with its ozone and salted water. Experience the lights of the Oasis in the evening, the flickering of the solar Tiki torches and the Buddha fountain with its reflexion in the dark water. Walk just 5 blocks to the intracoastal waterway for a beautiful evening walk after dinner. Take the short 10 minute drive to the PB Island Beach and downtown West Palm with great food, music, Rosemary Square, theatre and more; nature parks, waters sports, and museums are abundant as well as cultural events. The City Oasis offers a menu of services available for pre-booking. Your cottage is equipped with some extras to help with your stay; toilet paper, paper towels, local coffee/teas, honey, dish soap, some bath items as well, Blue tooth speaker, Body wash or soap, blow dryer, iron, beach towels, umbrella, blanket, hammock (for Hammock Park Beach) and a yoga mat. Some services to prebook are; Raindrop Therapy Massage, 25 minute morning Poolside Qigong, Whole Body Vibration, and more! Special City Oasis Coffee, Matcha Late's, Mud Late's and more. I am your host, Daryl, and I look forward to sharing my space... and now your space... The City OASIS, for a moment in time. The OASIS welcomes couples for short term stays up to approximately two weeks and welcomes single woman for long term rentals; a month or possibly more. If you're trying to book more than 3 months in advance it won't let you. Message me with an inquiry and I'll check the calendar for you and get back to you. Thank you for stopping by! :)

Daryl "Oasis" is very clean, very nice and situated to great beaches, restaurants, shopping and anything you may need. The private pool was an added bonus and the outdoor shower was perfect for rinsing off after a day at the beach. We will definitely return and highly recommend this gem of a find.

Wonderful Stay

The property was just as advertised. Beautiful, quiet and comfortable. The apartment was plenty big enough for the two of us. Bed was very comfortable. Loved the outdoor shower. Spent a lot more time just relaxing by the pool than planned, so it was so pleasant. Daryl was there to meet us and there was a book she put together that was really helpful. After that we really didn’t see her until we left, so we had the whole area to ourselves. Plenty of places around to eat and we really liked the Havana, a Cuban coffee shop a few blocks away. Would definitely recommend and stay there again if returning to the area.

The City Oasis

This was a magnificent place to stay in! Daryl was accommodating and made our check in super easy! The place was spotless and you can tell how much work she’s put in to the garden. I couldn’t have picked a better place to stay. The location was perfect as we were about ten minutes away from downtown and only nine minutes from the airport.I would stay here for every vacation if I could!

True Oasis in the City

Fantastic and relaxing environment. I was on business but wished I could have fully enjoyed the relaxing environment. The owner keeps you informed and would make for a great spa time. I would say that the only 'surprise' was the outside shower that I did not fully expect. Though, I was a little shocked initially, I grew to LOVE the experience with the sun hitting you in the early morning as you showered. Will always remember!

Exactly what we needed for our romantic getaway!

Our vacation stay here was incredible. The property is beautiful and quiet. Daryl was an amazing host for our stay. She gave us recommendations for beaches to visit, restaurants to try, and provided us with everything that we needed. The pool was a perfect place to relax, both in and out of the water. I can't say enough about the landscaping. The plants and trees are beautiful - it truly felt like a secluded oasis, just for us. The building was cozy and clean. We both enjoyed the outdoor shower, during the day and at night. When we return to West Palm Beach, we will stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Daryl Gimbel

Host profile image
Hi, I am Daryl. I moved here at the end of 2019 to be close to the ocean, and live my dream. I love to design, garden, bike, swim and eat great food. I am a Lifestyle and Movement Coach using the Gyrotonic Method, Qigong, Bioenergetics and energy healing with Raindrop Therapy Massage. I also host amazing all inclusive retreats here at The City Oasis, called The OASIS Retreat. Welcome to this special place infused with Peace and Love!

Why they chose this property

I bought this property after moving here from California to own my own home with a vacation rental and a retreat option. The property was a blank slate, as a gardener this was a dream. It gave me an opportunity to design it according to my vision. I love that I can walk to the inter-coastal water or take a short 10 minute drive to the beach for sunrise and sunsets. I love restaurants and there are plenty. And I love the tropical warmth.

What makes this property unique

Travelers most comment about the energy on the property being so calm and Zen and the outdoor shower is always a favorite along with the pool and gardens. The sounds of birds chirping and butterflies twittering around area plus. I offer you a list of OASIS Guest Services to enjoy your stay more and feel like you're at a resort.
