Waterfront, Gulf view ,1 pet, tennis/pickleball Pool is closed at this time

This 3 bedroom 2 bath unit is on Bocilla Lagoon and across the street from the Gulf of Mexico. Hard decision to hop in the boat from your private dock or cruise the 7 miles of quiet shell filled beach.
Palm Island is a bridge- less barrier island, 7 miles long between Sarasota and Sanibel Island on Florida's gulf coast. We are accessed ONLY by a 3 minute car ferry OR a private boat ride. www.palmislandtransit.com for ferry pricing hours, and information.

Kitchen updates, new granite counters, and cabinets, appliances, new furniture, beds, and linens. New master bathroom. All new dining and living room furniture.

* Situated on Bocilla Lagoon and across the street from the Gulf of Mexico, with a private walkway to the beach just steps sway.
*Pet friendly one pet limit, $150 pet fee with a signed pet agreement.
*Communal heated pool just steps away. Closed at this time due to damages from hurricane.
*The tennis court is across the street from the unit, and is also lined for pickleball.
*Fully equipped kitchen, with all new appliance and all new dishware, including granite counter tops.
*The screened in front porch is an ideal place to enjoy dinner while watching the sun set into the Gulf.
*Sleeps 6 comfortably in the bedrooms all new beds, mattresses and linens, and sleeps 2 additional on sofa sleeper in living room.
*Private dock on Bocilla Lagoon which can accommodate up to a 23ft boat. Ask me about bridge clearance to bring you boat. You can fish right from the private dock too.
*Lazy, breezy hammocks for total relaxation in the private area under house to relax and enjoy the lagoon view.
tennis and pickle ball court across the street
* Palm Island is a unique hidden gem located just North of Boca Grande. It offers all the modern conveniences, but allows a true escape from the hustle and bustle of mainland living.
* NO traffic, no traffic lights, no high rises, no crowds, just mother nature at her finest.

Great house with everything you could need for a beach vacation. Very short walk to the beach. Enjoyed evening rides in the golf cart. Dockage for our boat was a plus and host gave detailed instructions how to navigate the canals to the house. Definitely plan on renting again

Excellent location and great amenities

We picked the house because of the closeness to the beach as well as a private dock with kayaks and paddle boards. We had a few minor issues come up but Diane was very easy to reach and she quickly resolved any issue we had. We will absolutely be staying at one of her properties in the future!

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.

We had a great time! The accommodations were perfect for my family of 5, and the host was outstanding. She catered to every possible need. Her communication was really, really great. I admit I dropped a ball in communication early on, but she stayed with me. She was totally cool and understanding. Also, the house was exceptionally clean, and well-stocked with things to do.

Wonderful HOST and HOME

Diane has a beautiful home that was easy to get to and very clean. She had all the necessary kitchen items and towels, with plenty of beach paraphernalia. Diane was quick to respond with questions and promptly addressed any issues. Her check in instructions and lock boxes made for an easy check-in and check-out. I will definitely miss my early morning coffee view off the dock. Absolutely, gorgeous!! I have had family reunions on Palm Island and will definitely come back and stay at any of Diane's properties!! Thank you!

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!

Super clean and charming island home. Bay( lagoon that leads to bay) to Gulf of America!The location of this property is absolutely perfect. The owner of the property was super responsive and communicative. Upon arrival we found a really clean and spacious rental. We especially loved the huge fridge! Normal sized fridges and 8 adults on an island is always problematic. No worries there!

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.

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.

The property is very clean and as described. The dock is new, the home is very well done and completely updated. We stayed with 4 children and a dog and could not have been more comfortable. Diane was the best from check-in to check-out. Walk to the beach or sit in the hammock on the back porch. Palm Island is always relaxing and enough to do to never be bored.

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.
