Forgotten Winter

Easy to forget winter when staying in Tami’s wonderful house on a wonderful island in SW Florida with 75 and Sunny as the consistent daily forecast! House, location, weather and communication with Tami were wonderful. Being there so soon after Hurricane Ian was a concern I had. Happy to say that the house is so well built that it had very little damage compared to so many other homes I saw on and off the island. Very comfortable, clean and up to date. Thank you Tami! I hope I will be able to return next winter. I look forward to seeing the landscape redo! Terrence

Relaxing Spring Break trip without the crowds

Once we were on the island, you could not tell it was spring break on the the mainland... the beaches and water way were wide open and quiet, and no traffic. We loved seeing the dolphins and fishing off the dock. Per the home owner, we could use any of the many numbered “private beach” access points along the island that are for island homeowners. It was a very short and enjoyable golf card ride to the beach or out for ice cream everyday. Just tell the guys at the resort gate you are trying to get to coconuts or the restaurant, and they will point you in the right direction. We added a book of ferry passes to our stay (the more you buy the cheaper they get) so the teens could come and go back to civilization as much as they pleased. The whole property was such a comfy, casual, relaxing chunk of fresh air, we voted it one of the best vacations in years. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home with us, Tami!

Loved the pier facility

Our #1 priority was the pier. It was new and lit. There was water and electricity at the pier. Very happy with the pier. It was a short boat ride to the marina. The house was clean and as described. Only disappointment was the view. It was almost “commercial”. But our priority was the pier facility. Including the golf cart was huge. It was a walk to the pier and the golf cart was very helpful. Also used the golf cart every day to go to the beach. Also used it for “rides” around the island. All in all we were happy with our stay.

Quiet and relaxing stay

Very nice roomy house accurately described. We loved our 5 day stay! The location is fabulous for walking to the beach or kayaking/paddle boarding from the pier. We walked to the southern tip of Little Gasparilla and back along the beach...roughly 5 hours round trip (including shark tooth hunting)! We paddle boarded as well as kayaked every morning. SUP Englewood was amazing to rent from...they delivered the kayaks to our pier. We saw dolphins several times next to the kayaks. My fav kayak trip was through the narrow mangrove tunnel just south of the last piers on the west side of Kettle Harbor and north of Rambler Hole. The house has a beautiful kitchen full of amenities. We shopped at Costco and Winn Dixie before crossing the ferry, so we were prepared to cook and grill. Did get ice cream at Coconuts tho! We did run out of toilet paper and the golf cart would not charge one evening, but a quick call rectified everything! Don't miss out on this sweet spot!

Great home away from home

I am writing this review on the way back home from a fantastic month at this palm island home.It’s hard to list all the things we enjoyed during our stay. The beds are comfy, the house is very clean ,the furniture updated, the kitchen well stocked and the great room is so spacious, The sliding glass door to the screened in porch slide all the way back so when they are open the porch feels like an extension of the great room .We spent many hours on the dock fishing and our kids loved the paddle boards. The owners have left little touches like tons of beach towels and firewood for the fireplace. But the biggest plus about the rental is the golf cart! It’s a game changer. Half the fun of being on the island is riding around in the golf cart and I know of no other rental that includes a golf cart. We had a great time carting our grandkids around the island in it. The owner was very friendly and quick to respond o any needs or questions we had. This was our first time on Palm Island and we fell in love with it the beaches are pristine and seem to go on forever . Having a restaurant on the island is really fun and convenient. We found ourselves there frequently for a drink or dinner. I wouldn’t hesitate a minute to enthusiastically recommend renting this beautiful home.

Quiet escape

We had a great time over the holiday enjoying the beach, the dock/boating, and getting away from the stress of our routines. The house has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and was perfect for our family of 4. The golf cart was awesome to carry our stuff to the beach - a short drive away. The kitchen was well stocked and Tami was responsive to our questions as we planned our trip. We were very surprised and grateful to find a Christmas tree and stockings at the house for our holiday getaway!! Thanks!

Awesome home and vacation!

This home was bright and clean. Plenty of room for the 4 of us, would hold many more! We had the best time here. Beds were comfy, kitchen is well equipped, golf cart was fun to have to head to the beach each day. The dock was perfect for our boat rental and we even got to see a manatee there one day. Would love to stay in this home again!

Great home, great location

The home was nice, clean, and easy to find. I came by boat so had to use Google maps but the boat dock pictures helped narrow down which home it was. The island is nice and secluded. With it being August most homes were empty. The beach was about 3 minutes away by the owner provided golf cart. The only restaurant on the island was about a 10 minute golf cart ride. I'd recommend taking your own food, the restaurant wasn't very good even though we gave them three attempts. There are much better restaurants accessible by boat nearby. I'd strongly recommend going by boat if you can.

Perfect getaway for a group

Myself and 7 of my friends stayed here for a birthday weekend getaway. We had the best time. The house is spacious enough for everyone’s confort, and the location was awesome!! We rented a boat from Allure Boat rentals (ask for Mike), they drop the boat off at the dock behind the house and pick it back up at the end of the day. It was perfect. The golf cart was great for all of us to bring our cooler to the beach and hang out on the private island all day. Just a tip: the ferry is $55 to get your car on and off the island 1 time, so get everything you will need from the store before hand. All and all we love Palm Island and will be back!!!

Little Gasparilla Island Gem

All we can say is what a beautiful home and setting!!! The amenities were outstanding from cleanliness to unreal location. Freezing cold air conditioning, spotless showers and Bathrooms. Great bedding and utensils. Great golf cart to use and having a dock for even a 40ft boat was a bonus. Everything from fishing poles, umbrellas, towels and beach toys are all at this wonderful home. Thanks to T for sharing her home with us and we will book again for next year for sure. Simply Perfect!

We enjoyed our week, everything was as described, except for the grill is a gas grill and we didn’t need the charcoal, but no worries we used it in the fire pit at night! Golf cart was a great perk for getting to the beach. We even opted to walk most of the time just to enjoy the views.

Beautiful home in secluded quiet vacation spot

The house was perfect for our small family (plus child caretaker). We loved the quiet secluded location a short walk/golf cart ride to the beach on one side and with dock back up to the inner canal on the other side. The dolphin watching was amazing. The waves were calm and the water amazing for our little children. The beach was not crowded ever - usually one other couple at the most. Easy to get off the island if needed - we kept our car on the mainland for the most part as the golf cart was used to get ice cream and go to the beach.

Truly Amazing and Memorable Experience

Property is exactly as described and even better. Immaculate, decorated beautifully. The kitchen is one of the best-equipped that we have ever stayed in and this is critical as we are huge chefs and do alot of cooking. Cabinet full of spices, olive oil, etc. I could actually make great meals for our family! Too many positives to list. Please don't miss this property which in my opinion, is one of the best values and memorable experiences you and your family will have. Enthusiastic thumbs up!

About the host

Hosted by Tami Cashi

We purchased our Palm Island home as a place to get away from it all! We live an hour north in Sarasota so it is the perfect distance for us to have a vacation home. We are originally from Pittsburgh, PA. We hope to be able to share our little piece of paradise with you!

Why they chose this property

Palm Island is the perfect get away. We love that once we are on the island, time really slows down and so can we! The beaches are so private, no problems with parking here! There are so many beautiful sea shells. We see dolphin and manatee and so many amazing birds and turtles!

What makes this property unique

One of the few islands left where you take a ferry to get across! No bridges so it is really private. Great for a romantic get away, big enough for the whole family or a fun place for friends to gather!
