Beachfront on Palm Island, a quiet barrier island reached only by a 4-minute car ferry. Step off the deck onto 7 miles of sugar-sand beach. Four bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, including two king suites with Gulf-view balconies. Soak in the hot tub over the waves, swim in the pool, or paddle a kayak from the private dock on the lagoon. Elevator, bikes, Blackstone and Weber grills. Dolphins, shelling, shark teeth and sunsets guests talk about for years.
The space Over 2,500 square feet, with Gulf views from almost every room. A screened beachfront porch with dining, a porch swing, and an upper deck made for sunset. The kitchen has a quartz island facing the water, and a coffee bar with an espresso machine, a Keurig and a drinks fridge. Two sets of washers and dryers, so beach towels are never a problem. Golf cart rental is available (ask us), the easiest way to get around the island.
What guests say: "Was even more stunning than the photos." "The pool is an added (and rare!) bonus for the island." "We saw dolphins from the beach house and found wonderful shells and shark teeth on the beach."
Good to know Palm Island has no bridge. The car ferry runs every day and takes 4 minutes. Many guests buy the weekly ferry pass and stock up on groceries before crossing, which makes island life easy. The island has a restaurant, a gift shop and an ice cream shop.

This was a fantastic rental, spacious, bright and airy with views from every room, located on quiet beach, the grandkids had a blast, the house, the kitchen, the bathrooms had all the items you may dream or wish for, even an Italian espresso-cappuccino machine among other different types of coffee machine plus the perfect coffee beans!! Did I mention the beach toys including kayaks, paddle board and bikes to tour the island and if you choose a golf cart. A great place, wonderful week and special memories to be made.We have rented many places but this was extra special. Our host Patrick and his family were just so helpful and kind! Thank you
This place was great! Loved there was a sun room to be able to sit outside without getting eaten by mosquitoes. I would say this place works if you are bringing a 3 month old baby because there was a pack n play that we used for a crib the entire week and we just brought our own baby floaty. There’s even a golf cart here to rent out if you are wanting to drive down to the ice cream shop and restaurant. Patrick was so understanding! We had a situation of our keys getting locked inside the car and had to wait for the locksmith to come get the car open so we could leave. He offered for us to stay longer so we wouldn’t have to sit out in the heat.Honestly 10/10

Thanks for the nice words Ashleigh - it was awesome hosting your family! You are always welcome!
Our family have been going to Palm Island for over 25 years and this Sunset Beach Cottage is a step above. It is right on the beach and has all the toys for young and perfect for the retired beach souls. The kitchen has everything you want from plastic cups for the little ones to elegant plates for the steaks prepared on either the grill or blackstone grill. Two living rooms one to watch a late night movie or one to lounge and view the Waves break on the gulf shores. The most spectacular sunsets you will ever see as you dine on a screened porch. Our granddaughters enjoyed picking seashells and even created a turtle in the sand as seen below.We arrived during turtle season and they were able see a few baby sea turtles swim out to the gulf. Something I think they will never forget! PS it has an elevator to bring up your luggage and my daughter in her wheelchair!!!!

Thanks for staying Larry! So happy you made some great memories.
We loved our stay at this property! The home was up to date, clean, and had all accessories necessary for visiting a secluded island. The pool is an added (and rare!) bonus for the island. We will definitely be back!
