* Your Peaceful Waterfront Escape! *

Welcome to El Palmeral – A Peaceful Waterfront Escape!


Surrounded by lush tropical landscaping and nestled on tranquil Amberjack Creek, this classic 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom Florida retreat is the perfect getaway for families or friends looking to relax, recharge, and reconnect. With accommodations for up to six guests and a sparkling private pool with optional electric heat, El Palmeral is your personal haven for comfort and coastal charm.


Step through the front door into a bright, breezy living room with cozy seating, a flat-screen TV, and natural sunlight pouring in. The adjacent dining area comfortably seats six and offers easy access to the pool through sliding glass doors. The fully equipped kitchen features a breakfast bar for two, microwave, dishwasher, a duo single serve & 12-cup carafe coffee maker, electric kettle, and all the essentials you’ll need to whip up anything from beach-day snacks to gourmet dinners. Just off the kitchen, the family room is ideal for movie nights or catching the big game—with another flat-screen TV and inviting lounge space.


The home’s split floor plan offers privacy for everyone. The primary suite features a king bed, flat-screen TV, walk-in closet, and direct access to the sunroom. The en-suite bathroom includes a walk-in shower and single vanity. The second bedroom offers a queen bed, flat screen TV, and sliders to the lanai area. The third bedroom offers another queen bed and a flat screen TV. The guest bathroom has a single vanity and a walk-in shower.
Need to squeeze in some remote work or school? A convenient desk in the primary bedroom transforms into a perfect office setup, creative art space, or homework nook. Other thoughtful amenities include smart TVs, Wi-Fi, a washer/dryer in the garage, and beach gear like chairs, umbrellas, and a cooler—ready for your adventures. Plus, the self-check-in process makes arrival seamless and stress-free.


One of the standout features of this home is the dreamy sunroom—wrapped in floor-to-ceiling sliders that blur the line between indoors and out. It’s the ultimate chill zone to sip your morning coffee, dive into a good book, or simply soak up the peaceful views of swaying palms and lush tropical greenery. Outside, your private resort-style oasis awaits! Lounge poolside with a refreshing drink in hand, dine al fresco at the outdoor patio table, or fire up the BBQ and grill your fresh catch of the day. Feeling laid-back? Drift into a midday nap in the hammock, then end the evening around the fire pit with laughter, stories, and gooey s’mores under the stars!


Cast a line from the private dock, or bring a flat-bottom boat (dock fee applies) and explore the shallow, scenic waters of Amberjack Creek and the surrounding mangrove blueways by kayak or paddleboard. Please note: Boat lift is unavailable until further notice.


When you’re ready to explore, you’re just minutes from some of Florida’s most beautiful Gulf Coast beaches—Boca Grande, Don Pedro Island State Park, and Englewood Beach—each offering shelling, beachcombing, snorkeling, and kayaking galore. Want to reel in the big one? You’re in the heart of the Tarpon and Snook capital of the world! Plus, there are public golf courses nearby for all skill levels and dozens of fantastic local restaurants ready to serve up fresh coastal cuisine.


El Palmeral is the perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and tropical charm.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a coffee maker.

Great place to chill out

Heated pool was very very nice. Nice plantings all over the property and a substantial house. Could host a family easily. Saw alligators and manatee in creek out back. Sitting on the dock was pure bliss.

Nice and relaxing

What a slice of paradise! Wonderful to wake up to the wonderful landscaping, have a swim in the sizeable pool, go fishing on the dock and just relax. Publix is just a stones throw away, which is a blessing since there isn’t much food options within a 10-15 min drive. Hopefully the public beaches fully reopen soon after the hurricane damage. But it’s easy to spend a few days at this property without going anywhere else. Also super clean. Highly recommend.

Absolutely stunning house. Loved everything about it. So close to Boca, Gasparilla, Publix is within walking distance. Property manager was very easy to talk to and responded so quickly. Pool stuff, kayaks, and beach chairs available. Quiet neighborhood. Saw manatees in the canals! We will definitely be back. Thank you so much!

Tropical Getaway

We wanted a place nearby so relatives that live in a Placida. This was walking distance from the home and a tropical paradise. The location allowed us to take walks in the morning as the temperature was cool for Florida the week we stayed. Highly recommend and expect to book again on a regular basis.

Great family getaway close to activities

A great relaxing, clean, quiet place for family (3 generations). Everyone had their own space with pool being main attraction. Lots of toys for the kids for the pool. A tropical feel with all of the trees, giving great privacy. We'd definitely go back.
