Freshly updated, only minutes walk to beach, parks, & Old Town

The Gulf Palm is the ultimate relaxation pad. Situated in a private nook on the island of Venice, directly across the street from the peaceful Prentiss French Park, your vacation comes with all the pleasures of tropical beach living.

Conveniently situated in the heart of the Island, the minute you arrive in the neighborhood it feels like a different world.

You're within short walking distance to Old Town for plenteous shopping, dining, or just about any other amusement you want to indulge in.

Venice Island is one of the safest neighborhoods in Florida. Your home is directly across the street from the beautiful Prentiss French Park, complete with a walking trail, playground, and picnic tables for your wine and charcuterie lunch. Not only are you across the street from the park, but there are four other parks within a five-minute walk from your home.

Only 5 blocks away you will reach the shores of one of Venice Beach. Most tourists use the main beach entrance where free yoga classes are offered every morning and evening. If you'd like a more local experience, check out the Alhambra Rd beach entrance early in the morning where you can often find yourself alone with the view.

The unit has been outfitted with new floors, updated appliances, a newly remodeled kitchen and bathroom, and the furniture is in great condition. The interior décor was thoughtfully planned to keep the living space bright and up-lifting. You may not want to leave.

Icy-cold A/C system, new plumbing and electrical throughout, an HD security camera system and fiber optic wireless internet.

Included in your stay are bicycles along with beach towels, beach toys, beach chairs, and a grill with extra propane tanks on-site in case. Enjoy a cup of coffee (Keurig machine provided) while you watch the sunrise from the flex room.

We consider it a pleasure to serve you, answer your questions, and make your stay the best possible.
