Waterside 2BR lagoon retreat. Beach, dock, pool, dog-friendly. Incommunicado!

Welcome to Incommunicado—your private island escape.
Arrive, set your bags down, and let the rhythm of the water take over. Ease into a hammock beneath whispering Florida pines, a cool drink in hand, as the day slows to your pace. Greet the sunrise from your secluded dock on Bocilla Lagoon, then wander just steps across the street to the pristine Gulf beach to watch the sky melt into sunset—your new daily ritual.
This beautifully appointed 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath retreat sits perfectly positioned between two bodies of water where each morning brings the perfect choice: launch your boat or kayak from your private dock or stroll miles of quiet, shell-strewn shoreline.
Inside, you’ll find a fully equipped kitchen with all the comforts of home, ideal for laid-back meals after sun-filled days. And yes—your four-legged companion is welcome too, because paradise is better shared.
Palm Island is a rare gem -a bridge-less barrier island spanning seven miles along Florida’s Gulf Coast between Sarasota and Ft. Myers. Accessible only by a quick 3-minute car ferry or private boat, the journey here signals the start of something different… something slower, quieter, and infinitely more peaceful. (Visit www.palmislandtransit.com for ferry details.)
Here, there’s no traffic—only the soft splash of fish in the lagoon and waves rolling onto shore. Wildlife is part of daily life: dolphins gliding offshore, tarpon rolling, manatees drifting, and the occasional visit from Stan, the resident gopher tortoise.
Step outside and within moments you’re immersed in nature. Walk south through the Don Pedro State Park to the tip of Little Gasparilla Island, or head north toward Stumps Pass—either direction lined with seashells, shark teeth, and a sugar-white beach. After a day exploring, cool off in the nearby heated pool or unwind back at the house in your private, breezy hammock overlooking the lagoon.
For those who love the water, your private dock accommodates boats up to 23 feet and offers outstanding fishing right from your backyard—snook, redfish, and trout await. Prefer land? The tennis and pickleball courts are just across the street, offering the perfect balance of activity and relaxation.
Palm Island remains one of Florida’s last true hidden gems—no traffic lights, no high-rises, no crowds—just nature at its finest and the luxury of simplicity.
