Waterfront, Gulf Views, kayaks, SUP , 1 pet pool and tennis 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.

*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.

Book the house you won’t regret it !!
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

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.

Great Family Retreat
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.

Great place for Family Vacation
The owner was very prompt in answering any questions and very helpful. The Island is are favorite vacation spot. The location of unit is a close walk to beach. Partial beach view from front porch, spent a lot of time there after I fractured my ankle and could no longer go up and down stairs. Overall great place, would recommend.

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!

Beautiful island with wonderful accommodations!
While have stayed on Don Pedro Island for several years this is our first year staying with Diane. Island Time has everything you could ever need and more, our family never went without. The home was clean and perfectly located, the kitchen had everything you needed and more and the “extras”, such as the beach chairs, towels and kayaks, were all well taken care. We already are looking forward to our 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.

Great Place!
‘Island Time’ is a wonderful place to stay if you’re considering spending time on Palm Island. The property is just as described on the listing, it’s clean, up to date, kitchen is fully furnished and the property owner is great with communication and prompt with responses on any questions you may have. The beach and the pool are just a short, few minute walk away. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would book this property again!

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.

Could not more highly recommend this home. From making reservation to check out, everything went so smoothly. The home was beautiful and well furnished. Room d for everyone to spread out. The setting on the lagoon was perfect to watch the sunrises. Diane was so responsive to emails and texts. Thank you for a wonderful, much needed return to my favorite escape island.

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.

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!

simply perfect
Everything about the house and location was literally perfect. Diane is a fabulous host. One item of note - this was our third year on Palm Island and the Rum Bay restaurant is in rapid decline. Not only is it run down, but the food is terrible. I will eat almost anything and I will never eat there again. So you need to plan on cooking your own food everyday or buying the weekly ferry pass to go onto the mainland for eating out. .

Family FUN island getaway!
We had a great time using the kayaks, golf cart and completely deserted beach! The owner was one of the most available and responsive we’ve ever dealt with. The condo was well furnished and outfitted with all the beach stuff you could possibly want (toys, chairs, cooler, etc). Other necessary items (TP & soap) were also provided. PLEASE bring in ANYTHING else you might want for cooking along with plenty of bug spray as the owner is very clear that only essentials are provided (bring oil if needed for recipes, extra TP if you tend to use a lot, body wash, shampoo, etc…). We got absolutely eaten by bugs and were grateful for bug spray. The location and variety of fun activities at the doorstep were wonderful!

Relaxing & Enjoyable
The island is a wonderful slice of heaven. We've been a few times over the past 20+ years. This was our first time renting a house on the lagoon. It was a nice location. The water toys and an onsite golf cart available (to rent) at the house were an attractive feature. Plenty of beach chairs and toys (if you have kids) There were a couple of oversites by the cleaning service that were addressed with the owner and resolved. Nice appliances. Having an ice maker was great. The kitchen is setup enough of things for making meals. Just remember you need to bring EVERYTHING ELSE, foodwise, right down to the spices. The sound proofing between the two bedrooms we used (1 up, 1 down) was bad. You can hear everything. Bring earplugs. Have fun treasure hunting for the perfect shells and sharks teeth, as well as gopher tortoises around the island!!

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!!
