Very nice property. The dock is awesome. Kitchen great. Could have a bigger dinning table for larger group. Need a golf cart on the island so would be nice to provide that for additional cost. But host was amazing and would definitely stay here again.

We highly recommend this beautiful, well-appointed home. You will find it very clean and meticulously maintained, yet extremely comfortable and relaxing. Every detail of your beach stay has been thoughtfully accounted for, including a fully stocked kitchen, beach toys and towels, and many other unexpected extras. We would absolutely stay here again!

Beautiful property

We had a great stay at this property. The house was clean, beautiful and had all the essentials we needed. (Paper towels, toilet paper, aluminum foil, garbage bags, etc.)We really enjoyed the kayaks, fishing, swimming, beach and just sitting on the porch relaxing. I would definitely recommend this location.

This was our 4th year staying on Palm Island with friends and family. By far our best stay yet!

The house was perfect and off the main road making it perfect for our family to enjoy our week together. The house was well equipped with everything we needed for the week. Communication was excellent with the host. We will continue to come to Palm Island, our favorite place away from home.

The property was gorgeous! Super clean, everything we needed was right there for us! The hosts were wonderful answering our questions and getting back to us quickly. It felt like home! We would rent this home again! It was perfect for our family of 6. The island and beaches were beautiful and quiet. Ten out of 10!

Great property, even better location. Great owner. We like to leave car on the mainland and arrive by boat. The owner knowing what our plan was, even gave me suggestions on the best way to tie up our boat. Will definitely be rebooking. Cheeers. PS: Palm island is open and coming back strong.

This place is unbelievably relaxing. I love the dock and the kayaks—whether you’re fishing or just paddling around, it’s perfect for enjoying the water. The bike rides are great too. The deck wraps around the entire house, making the views from every room, indoors and outdoors, absolutely unreal. The pool, hot tub, fire pit, outdoor shower and bath, plus the pool house and outdoor weight room facility make it feel like a private resort. It’s also dog-friendly, and the split floor plan gives parents their own quiet space to completely unwind. The secluded island—only accessible by boat—is a dream for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. The 300-foot dock and the vast open water views leave very little to be desired. And I have to say, this is the most well-accommodated VRBO we’ve ever stayed in. Thank you so much!
