'Incommunicado ' A Hammock, Cool Drink, Whispering Pines...
- Minimum stay:Contact owner

- Pets allowed:Yes
- Wheel chair accessible:No
Come on down, grab a cool drink and nestle yourself into our hammock under the whispering Florida pines. Watch the sunrise from our secluded dock and the sunset from the pristine beach every day. Relax... You are in 'Old Florida' now.
This is a true island surrounded by the beautiful blue/green waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Located in Colony Don Pedro, deserted, white sandy beaches on the west side and intercoastal, backwaters on the east side. Put your car on the private ferry over to the island and feel the stress leave your body.
No traffic, no e-mail, or voicemail here. The only sounds you will hear are the fish jumping in the lagoon or the waves crashing the beach. Most days, Stan, our resident turtle will wake you as he passes by for a few green beans or a few chomps on our hibiscus flowers.
Just 200 feet from your front door you can head south down the uninhabited beach, pass through the state park, about three miles and you are at the tip of Little Gasparilla Island. From that point south you are looking at Boca Grande. Head north up the beach about the same distance and visit the Palm Island Resort. Either direction you go the seashells and sharks teeth are under your feet. Watch for tarpon rolling, dolphins cruising, manatees, and loggerhead turtles bobbing their heads as you walk. Remember to take a dip in our gulf side private pool after your relaxing stroll.
Relax out back on the dock with your fishing pole. The snook, redfish, and trout are always there waiting to challenge you. Watch your bait, Jimmy the Egret will sneak up behind you and steal your fish food. Bring your boat and venture out into the fertile back country waters for giant snook, redfish, and tarpon. Or head down to Boca Grande or Stump Pass for world class Florida fishing.
So if you blew out your flip-flop, or stepped on a pop-top, relax you’re in paradise!

Dear Tracy, Another wonderful visit! What is this our 6th visit to your house? I lose track.... We went out with Captain Steve Hogan again this year for a half day trip and caught our limit of trout , one keeper redfish (dinner-yum!) and about 20 snook. He's a wonderful guide, always finds the fish plus he points out all the local floral and fauna along the way. We enjoyed watching all the island animals and found lots of "treasures" on the beach. Thanks and have a good year! We'll see you next time.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

Dear Tony and Tracy, Our 4th year here!! We had a truly amazing time. The weather was perfect and we went to the beach and pool everyday. Our charter with Capt. Todd was wonderful, dolphins followed our boat and we saw several manatees. My brother and I caught 2 trout and the captain said Blake's was the biggest this year! It made a yummy dinner. Blake enjoyed the Red Beard show and we went to his concert. I found 29 sharks teeth and 2 jellyfish washed up on shore. Thank youy soooo much and we can't wait to come back next year! P.S. We saw 5 gopher tortoises!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Dear Tracy, It was great to be back to your place again and we like all that you have done to the house. We enjoyed the pool, beach time-the girls even got to surf a couple times. Shelling was great. Meghan found an alphabet shell and a hand full of sand dollars. Thank you again for sharing your wonderful home with us. We hope to be back next year for our third vacation at Palm Island.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

Tracy and Tony, What an incredibly relaxing week for all of us! We love island time..The kids had fun - Sarah caught 2 mangrove snapper on our second evening and we grilled them right up-can't get any fresher than that! Howard caught a 30" snook - very exciting. We'd sit on the dock every evening waiting for the fish to bite and watching the summer storms blow by, this became our evening ritual. We found lots of amazing shells and over 500 sharks teeth! (we became alittle obbsessed with the sharks teeth, but it's very meditative, walking the beach looking for those shiney black teeth. The kids loved keeping tabs on "Stan's" whereabouts and even found two baby tortioses. Howard and I saw two baby sea turtles as well. A manatee swam by and Howard got to swim with it a bit. Overall a wonderfully relaxing week spent interacting with nature!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

Dear Decembers, After 25 years of Sanibel Island, we decided to try Palm Island. What a pleasant surprise! Shelling was like Sanibel, but the island atmosphere was completely different. The kids loved exploring the island on golf cart and they were so happy that everyone waves as you go by! The weather was awesome and your place is very comfy. My daughter was thrilled that a manatee came up to her at the beach...what an awesome expierence! Thank you for sharing your wonderful island home.Did you find this review helpful?
