LOVE this place. Perfect location, with all the amenities. Waking up to the sound of only the Ospreys, a true delight. The owners are really easy to work with, honest, and reliable. We are going to go back as often as possible, and are hoping to bring our extended family with us next year for our annual vacation.

Owner's Response: Carrie and Matt, we're so glad you discovered our special hideaway. And since you're so close, we invite you to return as often as possible :)

Be sure to bring your fishing gear next time.

Nice and Quiet - very relaxing

Spent a long weekend at Palm Island property, place is small but quaint. Enjoyed the nice quiet canal and sitting out on the back porch watching the Osprey fly around. Had to use the golf cart to get to the beach, enjoyed the sunsets that were absolutely spectacular. Snorkeling, shelling, and finding sharks teeth were at its best. Seeing God in nature is the most beautiful and relaxing experience.

Owner's Response: Thanks for the great review...we are always happy to hear that our renters enjoyed the cottage and island. We are pleased that you appreciate the wonders of Palm Island and we hope that you are able to return soon.

Thanks again,

We chose this rental for our getaway at home, only living about an hour north of the island my husband and I decided to take a mini vacation somewhere local. The island was fantastic and the house was perfect for us! We had a great stay and loved fishing off the dock!

This really is paradise found! The home couldn't be more comfortable & is just as the pictures represent. It isn't so fancy that you have to worry if you track in a little sand yet it is nice enough to make you want to sweep up any sand that comes in. Our Sophie (golden retreiver) loves the tiled section where she can cool off her tummy. The beach is wonderful. We have been taking the dog early when there are hardly any people there & then returning later to walk & look for shells. The shelling is spectacular & we've found lots of treasures. And the little restaurant "Rum Bay" has terrific pizza!! Our stay has been just perfect & we love the peace and quiet of island life. We would be more than happy to rent again and we'd be very comfortable returning to this little slice of paradise. In fact, we loved it so much that I wish I could say that we bought the lot next door...however....Thanks for all of the wonderful memories.

Owner's Response: Thanks so much for the wonderful review. You guys have been awesome renters - my only regret is that I don't have a chance to meet you in person. If you ever decide to head west, please look us up.

So happy you had this chance to experience the island - it is a remarkable place and so happy you have had a great time. You are always welcome back any time.

We stayed here and loved the cottage. Very quiet, clean, comfortable, and quaint. The boat drive in is very easy and is direct to the intercoastal. Best value on Palm Island. We will be back!
