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.

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.
*The tennis court is across the street from the unit.
*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.


Because our home is located in a unique destination island we have a strict cancellation policy. We strongly advise you obtain traveler's insurance.

The name says it all. Once you step foot inside this rental all your cares disappear. All the conveniences of home but but an incredible island beach footsteps away. Excellent communication with owner who provides you with great info to make your trip all it can be.

House was perfect for our family. Beach and pool are just a short walk and the dock was perfect.

We enjoyed our stay! We most enjoyed relaxing on an empty beach, hanging out on the screened in porch, and exploring the island on the golf cart. This is our second stay at this property and I would recommend it.

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.

Another family island vacation in the books, we have stayed at some great places on Palm island and this did not disappoint!!! Easy checkin, right across from the beach path, amazing views from the front and back deck!!

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.

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

This is our second stay on Don Pedro Island. We love the quiet beach. Our place was a short walk to the beach and when we were not at the beach we still could enjoy a great view. Communication was amazing. Would stay again!!!

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.

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.

The owner meets all your needs. Communication is wonderful. The screened patio is great to have morning coffee and the hammock is where you will relax in the evening after a day at the Gulf. Looking forward to staying again.

‘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!

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 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!

Brought my wife and kids and wanted some peaceful time away on a beach with some seclusion. Got exactly that. A wonderful small island community. Wildlife, beauty, peace all wrapped into one.

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.

Comfortable place near the beach with open communication with property manager. Mosquitoes made the downstairs unusable and it’s not a good property for toddlers.

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.

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!

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. .
