From Our Family to Yours
"Where every shoreline tells a story, and every stay feels like coming home"
We believe that the best vacations aren’t just about the destination—they’re about the experience, the people you share them with, and the memories you take home. Our small business is built on a passion for hospitality, a love for nature’s most beautiful landscapes, and a commitment to providing guests with an unforgettable stay.
The Heart Behind The Palms Vacation Rentals
We’re John and Sondra, the heart and soul behind this collection of vacation retreats. Our journey into hospitality wasn’t born from a business plan—it was built from a love of travel, a deep appreciation for the beauty of the water, and a desire to create spaces where people can truly unwind, connect, and make lasting memories.
From Our Family to Yours
Our story began with a single lakeside escape in Upstate New York, a place where we found peace in the gentle ripples of the water and the rustling of the trees. Over time, our passion for welcoming others into our home grew into something bigger. We expanded to the Gulf Coast, offering sun-drenched retreats where guests could soak in the magic of the sea. Now, as we add a new property along the iconic Mississippi River, our vision is coming full circle—bringing together the best of lakes, rivers, and coastal living under one welcoming brand.
More Than Just a Stay
For us, these aren’t just vacation rentals; they are homes filled with care, character, and the warmth of personal touch. Every detail, from the cozy furnishings to the convenient locations, has been chosen with intention. We want you to feel like family from the moment you arrive—to find a place where you can relax, recharge, and create unforgettable moments.
Why We Do What We Do
As a small business, we believe in hospitality that feels personal. That means:
-
Thoughtfully curated homes designed for comfort and connection.
-
A hands-on approach—when you book with us, you’re not just another reservation; you’re a valued guest.
-
A commitment to excellence—because we believe your vacation should be just as special as the place you’re visiting.
Whether you're waking up to the misty lake fog, feeling the warm Gulf breeze, or watching the mighty Mississippi flow, we invite you to experience the magic of The Palms Vacation Rentals.
Thank you for letting us be a part of your story. We can’t wait to welcome you!
