In 2012, we made our dream a reality and purchased a home here—and now, we’re excited to share it with you.
We hope Palm Island captures your heart just like it did ours.

What makes this property unique

Welcome to your dream escape on Palm Island—our cherished family retreat nestled on Florida’s quiet Gulf Coast. After nearly 30 years of creating memories here, we’re thrilled to share this private haven with guests seeking something special.

What makes our home stand out isn’t just the location—it’s the blend of privacy, comfort, and natural beauty at every turn.

Private Pool Sanctuary

Enjoy total seclusion in your own tropical oasis. Our lushly landscaped pool area is perfect for morning coffee, sun-drenched afternoons, or a nighttime dip beneath the stars. Unlike crowded resorts or homes pressed against neighbors, our pool promises peace and privacy.

Deep-Water Dock with ICWW Access

Boaters and anglers will love our private dock, offering instant access to the Intracoastal Waterway. Fish for snook and redfish right off the dock or head out to explore nearby waterfront restaurants and beaches—no long idle zones, no crowds, just open water and endless possibilities.

Comfort Meets Thoughtful Design

Each bedroom is designed with plush mattresses, soft linens, and flat-screen TVs. After a full day of beachcombing or boating, you’ll drift off in cozy comfort and wake refreshed.

Natural Light & Breezy Views

A stunning cupola fills the home with golden sunlight and a sense of calm. Step onto one of the many decks for sunrise coffee, sunset cocktails, or quiet time with a book and the sea breeze.

A True Island Experience

Palm Island offers unspoiled beaches, abundant wildlife, and unforgettable shelling. Walk, bike, or explore by kayak—you’ll feel worlds away from everyday life.

A Labor of Love

This isn’t just a rental—it’s our legacy. From our honeymoon to watching our grandchildren play in the sand, this home holds decades of joy. Every upgrade was made with care and guest comfort in mind.

Let us welcome you into the rhythm of island life. Once you arrive, you’ll understand why we never want to leave—and why you may not want to either.
