Placida, Florida
Fully updated, private, peaceful getaway on Palm Island! This is a single family home with your very own resort style PRIVATE POOL. Our guests have property and pool to themselves during their stay. The home is rented as a 1 bedroom 1 bathroom home. Great for a couples getaway. The bedroom is furnished with a queen bed and two night stands for drawer space. 5 min walk, 2 min golf cart ride to the beautiful white sand beaches. The preferred method of transportation on island is a golf cart. We suggest Thoroughbred carts on the mainland. They will deliver a cart to the property on your arrival date. The carts book quickly so be sure to book in advance. The island is accessible by car ferry or boat (located between Sarasota and Fort Myers… right next to Boca Grand) offers the serenity of an island paradise and only minutes from the mainland. Airports closest are RSW (Fort Myers), SRQ (Sarasota) and Punta Gorda which offers reasonably priced direct flights through Allegiant Airlines. The island offers 7 miles of pristine beach for long walks, great fishing, shelling, and swimming. The home features gorgeous tropical landscaping with your very own beach entry swimming pool, screened lanai, Weber bar-b-q grill and fire pit. There is a Publix located on the mainland about 5 minutes from the ferry dock. Best to buy all groceries on the mainland. There is a small island store with limited options for any items you may forget. There’s also an ice cream shop, Coconuts and one casual restaurant, Rum Bay. Ferry information can be found at palmislandtransit.com. We do not accommodate same day check-in and check-out. The cleanliness of our property is extremely important to us. We need to give our cleaning crew an appropriate amount of time to have everything thoroughly cleaned. Due to this, if you are considering booking our property please make sure you are not requesting to check- in the same day a guest is checking out. As we can not accommodate. The island is a very special and unique place. We know you will be very happy with your choice to visit our little paradise. We are always happy to answer any island questions.
We have been enjoying Palm Island for over 20+ years. Great location, owners are very accommodating, we hate to leave to good of a review because it will make it more difficult to rent this great property again. Best 5 days.
This is the place to come for a quiet, relaxing vacation! The island is gorgeous, the house was immaculate and smelled fantastic, it was super fancy and we loved every second of it! Even the shower was amazing! Not to mention the pool, greatest place to just chill out and relax. Usually I don’t relax on vacation but this island forced me to relax and it was the best thing for me and my husband! Brandy and Shawn are excellent hosts and stock the house to the gills with all your staples. The barge ride over was so much fun, the golf cart rental was a must, and their grill at the house is to die for. Seriously cannot wait to visit again, for two weeks instead of one! ❤️❤️
We stayed 5 nights in this Palm Island Cottage. The home was exactly as listed. We found it to be exceptionally clean and beautifully updated. As advised, we stopped by the Publix to stock up for the week before crossing on the ferry. The ferry costed $55 and the process was quick and easy. The island itself is very quiet. We thoroughly enjoyed this chance to get away from the busyness of everyday life. Thank you Brandy and Shawn for your hospitality!
It was great staying here for our week on the island. We thoroughly enjoyed the house inside and out. Everything we needed was there and very well cared for. Not only was it great having the pool, it was an extra bonus because of red tide. Shawn and Brandy are super hosts! We can not think of anything negative to say about our stay here.
We had a wonderful stay on Palm Island! The home is very clean, modern and well-appointed. The pool and outdoor areas were great. Communication with the owners was superb. Even though you have to take your car across a super short ferry, the process is very quick and easy. Wish we would have rented a golf cart to get around the island better but it’s totally doable with just a vehicle. The island is quiet and the perfect place for relaxing. One small restaurant/gift shop at Palm Island Resort but it made for a nice lunch spot. We didn’t find a deck of cards or board games so I would recommend packing some if you enjoy playing. You won’t regret picking this home for your vacation!
Loved the island...sooo many wonderful/helpful islanders. Great place to kick back, totally relax and enjoy what the island has to offer! Don't hesitate,,,,pack your bags and go!!! The home was very private with updated decorating and beautiful art work! We have enjoyed many VRBO homes and agreed this one was a very special experience!
It was beautiful. Clean. Welcoming. We loved sitting on the front porch and watching an Osprey building a nest in a high tree. We lived on the back screened-in porch. Spent hours by the pool. Grilled our dinners on the gas grill. Nothing lacking.
What a wonderful gem! The back patio was gorgeous and was like our own little sanctuary! Would highly recommend this property!
Nice property, nice pool, great hosts
Nice place, great location! Perfect for a couple’s getaway! Property is as described in VRBO listing.
What a wonderful place to stay!
This is our second time staying here. We love this place, it's just magical. The pool and scenery are perfect. So quiet and relaxing.
This house is tastefully decorated and the yard is beautifully landscaped. The pool is the perfect temp and well taken care of. We could not have asked for anything more...it is very private, peaceful with a super comfortable atmosphere. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting beautiful quiet space.
