Pleasant stay on palm island

Such a great vacation for our group! The house was so nice and very well laid out. The host Diane was very kind and accommodating. The location had great accessibility for both fishing and beach. The beach itself was clean with so many sharks teeth. We even saw 3 seaturtles at night laying their eggs. We will be back next year, 5 star experience!

Great House

The house was beautiful. It was a great location and could see the beach from the screened in porch. Very easy walk to beach. House comes with great beach supplies so if flying it’s nice to still have chairs, beach towels, boogie boards, ect provided. Owner is wonderful and provides and abundance of information on the house, island, services, and surrounding area. Our family had a wonderful time.

Island Time

We had a wonderful week at this house and would definitely stay at one of this host’s properties again. We were not aware that the pool and tennis courts were unavailable when we booked (due to last fall’s hurricane damage) but the listing has since been corrected and it did not negativity affect our stay. The only downside for some might be the current state of recovery with piles of sand, some scattered debris, and lots of construction crews. We were not bothered by any of this and enjoyed watching this cute island rebuild while we were there.

FANTASTIC VIEW

Everything was as described and the gulf view is wonderful. Beach is literally steps away. The bed we used was comfy and showers were hot with strong pressure. Kitchen is well equipped with both a keurig and coffee maker. Diane is a good communicator - answered questions promptly and an excellent host. We rented the brand new golf cart and enjoyed cruising around the island and up to the resort restaurant. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

Palm Island getaway

The property was as advertised. It was clean, roomy, well appointed, and in a nice location. Owner was easy to communicate with, and always available. An important reminder is the home requires a car ferry ride to access, it was $55/RT. We never left the island, so not an issue.

This place is dreamy!

So I may not have understood that I was booking a house on an island when I first did it, but I wouldn’t change it for anything! It’s a $55 round-trip ride to get over to the house, but it’s worth every penny!! We landed in Sarasota Bradenton, stopped and got groceries on the way to the house, took the ferry over and didn’t leave for days. The beach is completely private, because it’s on an island. The house is absolutely gorgeous and fit our family of six with room to spare. The teenagers loved all of the space and being able to walk to the pool and the beach, the little kids loved how warm the pool was and searching for shells. We were one of just a few families on the beach and it was so relaxing and peaceful. The house has everything you would need from all of the dishes to a washer and dryer to beach towels to beach toys and extra bedding. There wasn’t anything that we lacked while we were there , every little detail is covered and it’s just perfect! Would recommend this to couples or larger families. The lower level was also a great time as the kids walked out on the dock while my husband grilled, and we laid in the hammock. The host was immediately responsive and so incredibly kind. I would recommend a golf cart rental as that added a ton of extra fun together. We will be back!!

Just what I needed - Island paradise

1st time staying at the island and we will be back. As a vacation rental homeowner myself I can highly recommend Diane and this property. The house is great, set up for just what you will need. Diane is a thorough and interactive host. Being able to bring our dog was a win win for the family for our vacation. Weather didn’t cooperate for boating but the quiet beach and island time was just what we all needed. Loved the ferry - it kinda adds to the disconnect and forces you to relax. Hearing the waves from the front porch with coffee will be what I miss tomorrow morning now that I am back at home.

Awesome Stay!

As a family of 6 we had plenty of room and loved our stay. Diane(owner) is super responsive, has thought out all the details for you, the property is as described and well kept and had all the newer and creature comforts of home. We had tons of fun on the kayak, paddle boards, lounging in the hammock, and shark tooth hunting on the beach. All the little things(too many to list) made this one of our best VRBO stays. Tip; Rent the golf cart. At first we didn't think we would use it as much, but it was awesome to have.

Thanksgiving 2023

This was the ideal house in which to host our Thanksgiving dinner for 12! We had two houses for sleeping but our Thanksgiving gathering was held in this house. Not many rentals this size could have provided the comfortable seating that this one does. It was awesome for dining and conversation and watching a game together. The oven was immaculate and served us well for re-heating the foods we prepared at home. We really appreciated that. The large counter made a lovely buffet space. All appliances were high end and like new. There was comfortable seating and living space for everyone- both indoors and out. All seating everywhere was very good quality. We all enjoyed the porch swing and hammock with views of the canal too! Our family enjoyed kayaking out back in the canal with the kayaks provided and out front they enjoyed walks along the beach. It was a little too chilly to consider swimming. But the outdoor shower and foot wash would certainly serve guests very well on summer days. We noticed there were fishing poles, beach toys, life jackets and more! We would suggest bringing your own beach towels so you don’t have to worry about losing the ones provided or washing them before you depart. All in all- we had a wonderful time in this sweet duplex. It is a perfect house for a single family to spend a vacation!
