The location of this home is one of the best on the Island just off the Inter coastal and Lemon bay, where the constant tidal flow makes for year-round crystal clear water teeming with Snook, Trout, Redfish, Snapper & Grouper. Best fishing on the island right off your dock! The dock is available for you to tie up your boat for your visit. For enjoyment of the entire family you can rent kayaks, canoes, motor boats and paddle boards on the island.
Amenities in the house also include: an outdoor fire pit, a gas BBQ grill, private resort style pool (heating available for $150 per week additional) and 2 areas for al fresco dining. It is truly a spectacular property.
We love spending time with our children and grandchildren sitting on the dock and watching fish jump, birds feeding in the shallows and catch sight of dolphins and manatees swimming by. Beautiful place to enjoy the simple life!

Second time staying here and was even better than the first!! The house is the perfect getaway for a fun relaxing time with family and friends!! Ice machine downstairs is a huge plus!! We enjoyed using the kayaks and had endless hours of fun in pool and hot tub!! My kids say this is their favorite place to visit!!
Great spot…..owners very easy to work with and accommodating! Red tide dissipated and was virtually gone by 1st part of March.
Great property and close to the beach. The living areas are great, and a fantastic pool deck, bar, and outdoor lounge area make this a great place for a stay on Palm Island.
Fabulous spot! Owners very accommodating. Home and kitchen well equipped. No commerce on the Island so plan your your logistics …
We had an amazing weeklong vacation with our kids and in-laws. From the moment we arrived at the house until we left we felt like we were in a paradise. Right from the back of the house we could fish, swim in the pool, watch dolphins, see birds, etc. it is a very short stroll to the beach as well. The pool is amazing especially with kids due the entry and pool depth. Added bonus, the bar and commercial ice maker for having adult drinks while watching the kids swim all day. If you come stay stay during the colder months the cost for pool heating is well worth it! The owners were awesome, there were no issues but any little questions we had (like how to turn on the pool lights) were answered quickly and kindly. It is a great place to stay and home to come back again one day.
Tipsy tarpon is the perfect place to stay. It works perfect for our family. Beth is a great hostess and easy to work with.
This house had it all!!! We had such great weather and enjoyed the outside of this house everyday!!! Lots of fish caught off the dock and swimming in the pool. Lots of beach time finding shark teeth and sand dollars!! Rent a golf cart early they are hard to come by. We will def be back!!!!
The perfect spot for our family !!! The pool and hot tub are so beautiful & our family had many hours of fun enjoying both !!! The kitchen was wonderful to work in and well equipped for cooking !!! The owners were very helpful and responsive to questions and needs !!!!!
