Enchanted Private Island Oasis Steps To Beach, Tropical Yard & Charm Filled Home

The hosts were very welcoming, gave us delicious food gift items, and the house was quaint, charming and very clean.

We stay at a lot of VRBO rentals and I must compliment Jay and Carrie for being the sweetest and most accommodating hosts we have encountered. Everything was better in person than advertised. Very helpful and responsive in helping us with recommendations for this unique island location such as trusted local transportation providers, golf cart rentals, etc. Thanks for a great exposure to the magic and uniqueness of Palm Island.

The cottage had everything we needed and more, it was beautifully decorated, with a Caribbean Island vibe! Great location, very close to the beach and there is a dock for boating and fishing. The backyard area with the pool was so pretty, with lots of comfy chairs to sunbath or read a book. The whole property is a beautiful oasis! Jay and Carrie were fantastic hosts, they were quick to answer any questions we had and went above and beyond to help us with left behind medications. They had a wonderful welcoming basket of goodies, fruit and even a bottle of wine! The beaches are beautiful and uncrowded and we had a lot of fun exploring the island on our golf cart. It was nice to have a restaurant on the island, which was very good and reasonably priced. Be sure to visit the ice cream shop too! The island is quiet and the perfect get away. Thank you Jay and Carrie for a wonderful island vacation!

Beautiful property! Loved the pool, fenced yard, garden, decor, bathrooms. All was the best. Looking forward to returning.

Our family has been traveling to Palm Island since 2007. This house was amazing — it has a unique level of coziness and an island vibe that's hard to find in the more modern homes on the island. If you have the chance to go with your close family, it will be a magical experience. The hosts, Jay and Carrie, are very responsive and make sure you feel truly welcome in their home.

My family and I spent a week in paradise cottage. We wanted to unplug from our busy lives. And this is the place.Grab your supplies at Publix on the mainland.Take the car ferry in to the island.Get your golf cart.Put your flip flops.Get ready to unwind.The cottage is so well appointed. Carrie and Jay are great host. See you guys next year.PS: The island was hit by storms in the last two years. They are recovering and Rum Bay at the Palm island Resort is open. Don’t forget to go to Coconuts for Ice Cream. BBQ by the pool. And put out a fishing line in the dock. There is some huge redfish out there. Take the golf cart to the beach nearby. Safe for swimming. Enjoy

This is our 3rd stay on Palm Island and it didn’t disappoint!! Carrie and Jay are the sweetest, most accommodating hosts EVER! I had mentioned at my booking that my husband and I would be celebrating our 24th wedding anniversary during our stay. We were pleasantly surprised with the balloons, #24, as soon as we entered the cottage!! How thoughtful!!Carrie and Jay thought of everything needed for our stay and MORE! A basket filled with such a bounty of beach snacks (I’m STILL enjoying them on the 17 hour drive home!) The kitchen is well stocked with anything you need. Plenty of beach towels and chairs for the many trips to the beach!This booking was everything it says AND MORE! Carrie was so helpful and quick to respond with any questions or recommendations we asked.The cottage is absolutely beautiful! Such tasteful decor and yet a comfortable homey vibe. The beds were so comfortable and the entire cottage was spotless!We loved the dock just out the back door and the pool was always a family favorite!We would most definitely stay at Paradise cottage again!! Thank you Carrie and Jay! See you soon!

This is our 3rd time staying at Paradise Cottage and since our last visit it has been completely updated and remodeled. It's absolutely stunning! I would highly recommend this house if you are looking for a private retreat with your friends and family. It has a fully stocked kitchen, pool, private dock, grill...really everything to make this a home. The beautiful blue waters of the Gulf are just steps away! My family enjoyed mornings in the pool, afternoons looking for shark teeth at the beach and evenings watching the stunning sunsets at the beach. I would highly recommend this house!

Paradise cottage is a wonderful place to enjoy Don Pedro Island. The owners are always available and helpful when needed. The place is beautiful and relaxing.

This is our second time visiting Paradise Cottage and it never disappoints! Palm Island is a beautiful, quiet, private island that is definitely for families looking for a relaxing island get away. The home itself is absolutely beautiful and has no steps(which is unusual on the island), but is amazing for us since we have an elderly person traveling with us and a young adult with cerebral palsy. The cottage is comfortable, clean, and spacious…and the best part is that the pool is its own private oasis! The beach is a short, five minute walk and there is private fishing off of the dock in the back if you’d like to do that! The hosts Carrie & Jay are close by and are very attentive and helpful if you should need anything! We will definitely be Back to this little slice of paradise!

Great property. Very cozy and comfortable with a wonderful pool area. The host was extremely responsive to anything we ask. We would stay here again.

Jay and Carrie are fantastic hosts! The cottage had everything we needed for a much needed weeklong vacation on the island with our family. The cottage has a great location, deep dock, total privacy in the backyard by the pool and in general is a beautiful tucked in oasis. We will definitely be staying with them again. Thank you Jay and Carrie!
