About this property

Heated Pool + Spa, Game Room, 5BR/4BA, 5 Min to Indian Shores Beach

Welcome to Blue Palm Retreat — your own private coastal resort near Indian Shores Beach, made for gathering well.

Just 1.1 miles from public beach access at Indian Shores Beach (approximately a 5-minute drive or about a 20-minute walk), Blue Palm Retreat is an upscale 5-bedroom, 4-bath vacation home for up to 10 guests. It combines the space and privacy of a private home with the amenities and thoughtful touches of a resort stay — including a heated pool, attached in-ground spa with jets, screened lanai, dedicated game room and backyard recreation.

Start your morning with coffee on the screened lanai. Spend the afternoon swimming in the heated pool, relaxing in the attached spa, practicing on the backyard putting green or playing cornhole. As evening arrives, fire up the gas grill, enjoy cocktails on the lanai, gather around the fire-pit lounge or head inside for another round in the game room.

Inside, refined coastal interiors create a relaxed boutique-hotel feel without sacrificing the comforts of home. Three king bedrooms, one queen bedroom and a queen-over-queen bunk room provide comfortable, flexible accommodations for families, couples, kids and friends. With four full bathrooms, there’s plenty of space for everyone to get ready for a day at the beach or an evening out.

The main-level Palm Suite is a retreat of its own, with a king bed, spa-inspired bathroom with soaking tub and walk-in shower, walk-in closet, and a separate office and wellness space for yoga, light workouts or catching up on work.

The dedicated game room gives kids, teens and adults a place to play together, with arcade gaming, shuffleboard, foosball and karaoke. Outdoors, the screened lanai extends the living space alongside the heated pool and attached spa, while the putting green and cornhole add even more ways to spend time together. After a day at Indian Shores Beach, the outdoor shower makes it easy to rinse off the sand before heading back to the pool or inside.

When you’re ready to explore, public access to Indian Shores Beach is just 1.1 miles away — about a 5-minute drive. Blue Palm Retreat also puts you within easy reach of the Gulf beaches and makes a comfortable home base for exploring Clearwater, St. Petersburg and the greater Tampa Bay area.

Blue Palm Retreat is especially well suited for multigenerational family vacations, two- or three-family trips, mother-daughter getaways, girls’ getaways and sophisticated groups of friends. It’s designed to give everyone plenty to do together while still offering comfortable adult spaces and room to recharge.

Here, a morning at the beach can become an afternoon by the pool, a family putting competition, cocktails on the lanai, karaoke in the game room or a relaxed evening around the fire pit.

Close to everything. Away from the crowds.

Amazing property and host. Amenities were great. Property was clean. Tons of amenities and all high quality. Kitchen was stocked with everything you would need. Very kid friendly. They really thought of everything. Host was very responsive and helpful. We vacation 3/4 times a year and this was one of the best experiences we’ve had.

About the host

Host profile image

Blue Palm Retreat began with a simple dream: to create the kind of vacation home we always hoped to find for our own family.

Over the years, we’ve been fortunate to visit beautiful beaches across the United States, Central America, and Europe. Those travels taught us a lot about what makes a vacation memorable. The destination matters, of course—but for us, the best trips have always been about the people we share them with.

As our children grew up and began bringing friends along on vacations—and now as we’ve been blessed with grandchildren—we came to appreciate those moments even more. Some of our favorite memories are from days spent exploring a new destination. But just as many came from unhurried mornings together, afternoons by the pool, friendly competitions, shared meals, and conversations that lasted long after the dishes were cleared.

That idea became the inspiration behind Blue Palm Retreat and the phrase that guides everything we’ve created here: Made for Gathering Well.

To us, gathering well means creating a place where multiple generations, families, and friends can truly enjoy being together—without everyone having to do the same thing at the same time. A place where grandparents can relax by the pool while the kids play, friends can challenge each other to a game, someone can slip away with a cup of coffee, and everyone can come back together around the table at the end of the day.

We’ve tried to be thoughtful about the details, from the spaces where everyone gathers to the amenities and small touches that make traveling together easier and more enjoyable.

Our hope is simple: that you arrive as guests, settle in quickly, spend meaningful time with the people you came with, and leave with memories you’ll talk about for years.

We hope Blue Palm Retreat becomes part of your own family’s traditions, just as it has become part of ours.

Warmly,
Kat & Brad

Made for Gathering Well.

Why they chose this property


After visiting beach destinations across the United States, Central America, and Europe, we kept coming back to Florida’s Gulf Coast—and especially this part of it.

What ultimately won us over was the balance.

We wanted to be close to the Gulf without feeling like we were living in the middle of a crowded tourist district. Blue Palm Retreat gives us exactly that: a quiet residential neighborhood paired with easy access to everything that makes this part of Florida special.

Public beach access at Indian Shores is just 1.1 miles away—about a five-minute drive. We love Indian Shores for its laid-back Gulf Coast feel, beautiful beaches, waterfront restaurants, boating, and spectacular sunsets.

But we also wanted more than a beach destination.

When we want a little more energy, we can head toward Clearwater Beach or St. Pete Beach. Downtown St. Petersburg is about 25 minutes away, with its waterfront, museums, galleries, restaurants, shopping, and entertainment. The broader Tampa Bay area gives us even more possibilities for exploring.

That means everyone can experience the area differently. One day might be spent beach hopping or out on the water. Another might mean exploring St. Petersburg and finding a great restaurant. And sometimes the best decision is not to go anywhere at all.

That last part was important to us.

Our idea of gathering well isn’t about filling every minute of a vacation itinerary. It’s having the freedom to explore together and then return to a peaceful place where everyone genuinely wants to spend time.

That’s why this location feels right for Blue Palm Retreat.

Close to everything. Away from the crowds.

What makes this property unique

Blue Palm Retreat is Made for Gathering Well.

That idea guided nearly every decision we made here. We wanted more than a beautiful place to sleep near the beach. We wanted the time spent together at Blue Palm to be just as memorable as the places our guests explore.

We think of Blue Palm as your own private coastal resort—designed for families and friends to gather, play, recharge, and reconnect.

Outside, a private heated pool with attached in-ground spa and jets, screened lanai, putting green, fire-pit lounge, and recreation areas give everyone plenty of ways to enjoy a Florida day together.

Inside, the Lounge brings generations together with arcade games, shuffleboard, karaoke, and more. Five bedrooms and four bathrooms comfortably accommodate up to 10 guests, including three king rooms, a queen room, and queen-over-queen Camp Blue Palm.

Gathering well doesn’t mean everyone has to spend every moment together. Someone can relax by the pool while others compete on the putting green. Kids can head to the Lounge while adults enjoy the lanai. Everyone has room to enjoy the vacation their way—and then come back together.

We also wanted Blue Palm to feel different from a typical beach rental, with a refined coastal aesthetic inspired by boutique hotels rather than obvious beach-themed décor.

And the location completes the experience: public beach access at Indian Shores is just 1.1 miles away—about a five-minute drive—while Blue Palm sits in a quiet neighborhood away from the busiest tourist areas.

Some days are for Gulf beaches, boating, restaurants, and exploring St. Petersburg. Others never get beyond the pool, Lounge, putting green, lanai, and dinner together.

We designed Blue Palm for both.

Because to us, a great vacation isn’t measured by how many things you do. It’s measured by the memories you make with the people you came with.

That’s what we mean by Made for Gathering Well.
