About this property

Casa Azul: Exclusive Palm Island Home with Pool, Hot Tub, Dock, & 7-Mile Beach

```
Take a deep breath, board the ferry and exhale as you leave your cares on the mainland for the quick ride to Paradise Found!

Palm Island is one of the last undeveloped barrier islands on Florida's Gulf Coast for those seeking that "Old Florida" feel — no crowds, no chain restaurants, no noise. Seven miles of pristine Gulf beach await, famous among shell hunters for the sharks' teeth and rare finds scattered across the sand for the price of looking down. Launch the tandem kayak, rent a boat, or bring your own — the private dock is your gateway to the Intracoastal where dolphins and manatees are frequent companions, or cruise toward Stump Pass where the Gulf opens up in brilliant blue. Rent a golf cart and explore the island with the ocean breeze in your face. Fish from the dock at sunset or just do nothing at all.

When the day is done, Casa Azul is waiting.

Casa Azul is a beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath Key West-style home and your private retreat within Paradise Found — a tropical two-home property featuring private docks, a 40-foot heated lap pool, hot tub, and brand new 3-hole mini golf, all just minutes from 7 miles of pristine Gulf beach.

KITCHEN
We know how important a well-appointed kitchen is on an island. Casa Azul's kitchen is spacious and generously equipped for all your meal prep needs — microwave, toaster oven, toaster, blender, Cuisinart hand mixer, electric tea
kettle, Instant Pot, and a built-in ice maker in the fridge. The dedicated coffee bar includes a drip maker, single-cup machine, coffee grinder, and Keurig K-Express.

LIVING/DINING
Comfortable, open-concept living area with reclining leather chairs, 65" Roku TV, Bluetooth sound panel, and a fully stocked game cabinet. The dining table expands to seat 6+. We've included an acoustic guitar for musicians in your group.

BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS
Primary suite: king bed, memory foam mattress, walk-in closet, ensuite with double sinks and walk-in shower with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash dispenser. Guest room: king bed, memory foam mattress. Bunk room: 2 twins + trundle (sleeps 3) — perfect for kids; includes built-in desk and printer for remote workers. Guest bathroom: tub/shower with shampoo, conditioner, and
body wash dispenser. Bath and beach towels provided.

LAUNDRY
Full-size washer and dryer in main hallway. Detergent included.

OUTDOORS
The wraparound balcony with sectional seating, outdoor dining, and gas grill is where evenings disappear — sunset views over the dock and mangroves included. Head downstairs where the 40-foot heated lap pool and hot tub are surrounded by palm trees, loungers, chairs, and umbrellas.

BRAND NEW! 3-hole miniature golf at poolside for hours of friendly competition.

The ground-level bonus room has a mini ping pong/pool/foosball table, cornhole, and small bar. Beach gear includes: wagon, chairs, boogie boards, shark tooth sifters, and fishing rods. Tandem kayak and five bikes on property. Private dock. Shaded hammock in a lush tropical garden.

GOOD TO KNOW
— Ferry: Palm Island is bridgeless and accessed by car ferry from Placida. Round-trip $55/car; book of 10 passes at $40/trip. See Palm Island Transit for schedule.

— Groceries: All stores are on the mainland. Be sure to stock up before you cross. Publix, Aldi, and Walmart Supercenter are all closest in Englewood, just minutes from the ferry — all three offer convenient pre-order options. Concierge grocery delivery services to the island are also available. Please contact me for details.

— Dining: Rum Bay Restaurant at Palm Island Resort serves lunch and dinner on the island. Coconuts ice cream shop is conveniently located below Rum Bay to satisfy your hand scooped ice cream craving.

— Pool: Heated and available year-round. Shared only between the two homes at Paradise Found. During winter months when overnight temps drop into the 40s-50s, the heater maintains approximately 10-15° above outdoor air temperature.

— Cameras: 2 outdoor security cameras on premises (entrance/pool area and patio).

Fantastic Stay!!

We had the pleasure of staying at Casa Azul over the 4th of July week and we had a wonderful time. Everything was so thoughtout in the home and everything we needed. We felt like we were at home. Our teenage boys loved the property, the pool, the fishing and everything included. Thank you to the wonderful owners who did an amazing job welcoming my family and I into their home.

Palm Island Getaway

Lots of details were thought of by the host, and our family had all we needed and more to enjoy the grounds and island. The ferry is convenient and has reasonable hours, and the extended hours on Fridays and Saturdays are nice. We were glad to have a golf cart rental reserved to easily drive to the beach access, Rum Bay restaurant, etc. We enjoyed our time and hope to return!

What a great place to stay for our family! Quiet, tropical and secluded. We rented both houses and brought our two boats. Access was easy even though the canal was a bit tight to navigate but the docks were perfect. The pool and hot tub was a mainstay for our adult kids! Both houses had all the amenities that you could ever want or need while on vacation! We also rented a golf cart and it was just a short ride to the public beach access. Most days we had the beach all to ourselves. Sara and Mike were awesome hosts and we are truly grateful they were willing to share their slice of paradise with us! We hope to be back again next year!

Why they chose this property

Escape to the serene, lush paradise of Palm Island, Florida, where 7-miles of pristine white sandy beaches and clear turquoise waters are located only 1/2 mile from this property.

Palm Island offers a variety of activities for visitors seeking relaxation and adventure. Swim the surf, comb the beaches for shells, hunt for shark's teeth.
For nature enthusiasts, there are opportunities for kayaking, paddle boarding, and fishing in the surrounding waters, which are rich with marine life. Boating is also popular, with many visitors exploring the nearby barrier islands and waterways. Wildlife watching is another highlight, as the area is home to diverse bird species, gopher tortoises and spotting dolphins and manatees.

Go on an island treasure hunt or visit the gnome garden. Catch the stunning sunsets, take a moonlit walk or star gaze well into the night.

Want to take a break from cooking? There is one restaurant located on the island open for lunch and dinner called Rum Bay located at Palm Island Resort and they also do takeout pizzas. Don't forget to visit the Rum Bay Gift Shop on the way out! Also located on the Resort is Coconut's Cafe open for coffee, pastries, breakfast sandwiches and, of course, our favorite...ice cream!

Coconut's also offers basic provisions for your convenience and is a great place to inquire about golf cart, kayak and paddleboard rentals.

Costco, Walmart, Publix and other stores are located on the mainland within just a few minutes of the ferry landing.

What makes this property unique
