3 Bedroom home, private dock, a block to the beach!
Seasonal. Beautiful waterfront island home on barrier island. Overlooking gorgeous Bocilla Lagoon with a western exposure so you won't miss one Florida sunset. Completely remodeled inside and out, this home has all new wood flooring, new granite counters in kitchen, new kitchen cabinetry, all new furniture both inside the home and on your waterfront screened lanai, completely decked in wood underneath the home for extra living space with a hot/cold walk-in shower so you can rinse the sand off after getting back from the beach. Newly built private dockage as well. Have you vacationed on the island before? Palm Island a.k.a. Don Pedro Island, is a barrier island 7 miles long between Sarasota and Ft. Myers on the Gulf coast with sugar-sand beaches, beautiful harbors and lagoons, great fishing and shelling only accessible by a short 10 minute car ferry or private boat. Our beaches are some of the most pristine and quiet in all of coastal Florida. There are no high rises blocking your Gulf views, unpaved sandy roads, and a relaxed "Old Florida" atmosphere. There is one restaurant called the Rum Bay that serves lunch and dinner. The car ferry runs continually from 6:30 am until 10:00 pm from Sunday through Thursday and until 11:00 pm Friday and 12:00 midnight Saturday. You drive your car onto the ferry and then directly to your vacation rental home. It's a very special place to vacation. We have kayak rentals and golf cart rentals for your use during your vacation. All of our properties on Palm Island require a ferry ride to get there. One round trip on the ferry for car and passengers costs $55. The alternative is to purchase a book of 10 round trips for $400, or $40 per round trip. For more information on the ferry, google Palm Island Transit. Pet Policy: This home is Pet Friendly home. This means that ONE dog is permitted to stay at the rental. No cats are permitted in any of our properties. Certain aggressive breeds as designated by the State of Florida and outlined in our rental contract are not permitted. No exceptions will be made to this policy.

The property was great! Kayaks were used daily! Jim was super helpful and very accommodating to any needs we had when there! Definitely recommend staying at Barefoot Bungalow or any properties Jim manages!
We had such a great time in this beautiful home. There was plenty of space for the 6 of us. Loved being so close to the beach. The listing doesn't mention the half bath in the loft, which was super useful for my kids. It also has an additional two twin size mattresses in the loft that must have been added after the pictures were taken. My only issue was that I thought the listing said it came with beach towels but we could not find them anywhere. The beach toys and paddle boards were a blast!
