About this property

Freshly updated, only minutes walk to beach, parks, & Old Town

*YouTube Video of Property: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cYXfziM2ng

The Gulf Palm is the ultimate relaxation pad. Situated in a private nook on the island of Venice, directly across the street from the peaceful Prentiss French Park, your vacation comes with all the pleasures of tropical beach living.

Conveniently situated in the heart of "The Island", the minute you arrive in the neighborhood it feels like a different world.

You're within short walking distance to Old Town for plenteous shopping, dining, salon-ing, or just about any other amusement you want to indulge in.

Venice Island is one of the safest neighborhoods in Florida. Your home is directly across the street from the beautiful Prentiss French Park, complete with a walking trail, playground, and picnic tables for your wine and charcuterie lunch. Not only are you across the street from the park, but there are four other parks within a five-minute walk from your home.

Only a 10-minute walk (we've timed it), you will reach the shores of one of Venice Beach. Most tourists use the main beach entrance where free yoga classes are offered every day as well as in the evenings from Sun-Thur. If you'd like a more local experience, check out the Alhambra Rd beach entrance early in the morning where you will quite literally find yourself alone with the perfect view.

The unit has been outfitted with new floors, new appliances, a newly remodeled kitchen and bathroom, and the furniture is in excellent condition. The bohemian-light interior décor was thoughtfully planned to keep the living space bright and up-lifting. You'll feel like you never want to leave.

Icy-cold A/C system, new plumbing throughout, new electrical throughout, a new HD security camera system and fiber optic wireless internet.

Included in your stay are beach-cruiser style bicycles to use at your whim along with beach towels, beach toys, beach chairs, and a heavy duty grill with extra propane tanks on-site in case. Enjoy a cup of coffee (Keurig machine provided) to enjoy while you watch the sunrise from the flex room table and chairs.

There is no downside to choosing The Gulf Palm as your vacation destination or mid-term rental. We consider it a pleasure to serve you, answer your questions, and make your stay the best possible.

Beach Wedding Rendezvous!
We booked our stay here because of location/access to the wedding party. It was nice to be close…very close to all the activities that had been scheduled. The place was very clean and equipped/child proofed with everything that you could ever imagine for children and adults. When I arrived I was very excited to see the aesthetics and the decor were on point. The beach accessories and chairs were an amazing touch as most people cannot fly with such luxuries. Management was also very easy to communicate with. If I could suggest one thing it would be to provide hair dryers in the bathrooms. I never travel with one because they can be bulky but in this case I never asked to see if they provided one so that’s my fault. We will for sure be booking again!

Charming Home
This home was perfect for our needs and it was meticulously maintained. We appreciated having bikes, clean beach chairs, and abundance of fresh towels. New dishes, nice silverware and glassware were a welcome addition to the beautiful kitchen. Ziploc bags, paper towels, kitchen detergent, foil, and laundry detergent were all provided and very useful for someone who was only staying for a week. Although we did not get to use the backyard, the chairs and setting looked delightful. We loved walking to town and the beach from this amazing home. We look forward to renting this clean and comfortable home again.
