"Fabulous as usual
The “sarasota book club” has been going to palm island for 10+ years a few times a year. The staff and accommodations have never disappointed us!!
The excellent service starts with “Dan” who always has a smile and gets us on Island time. The front desk is equally embracing with their kindness and warmth. Palm Island will always be out good too getaway!!! "

"Summer Stay
We love Palm Island! The beach and pool experience for the kids and adults is “island magical!” We enjoyed the Rum Bay restaurant, the customer service, and the over all experience was joyful. We will be back soon! "

"Another Great Visit
This was our fifth time coming to Palm Island and it never disappoints!! We stayed in unit 3522 which was very clean and a very nice unit. Would recommend the owner replace the washer and dryer with a full size unit. It would take up to two hours to dry a load of clothes and the lint trap kept falling out and getting tangled in the clothes. The washer is tiny and you could only fit two beach towels in there at a time. Also the vent in the guest bedroom had a piece of cardboard stuck in it and it would rattle when the AC would turn off and on. Otherwise, the staff was exceptional and our family had a wonderful time. It’s truly a special place!"

Well kept. Good location. Close to the beach and Rum Bay. Kitchen could be better equipped (missing dinner plates and assorted kitchen items - we ate from side plates). "

"Paradise!
We spent the weekend at Palm Island celebrating a family member's anniversary. Everything went smoothly - from check in until check out! I wish we had had more time to explore the island and the amenities, but we had activities going on all weekend. Hope to come back when we have more "free" time!"

"Perfect location for a weekend getaway
My wife and I were celebrating a wedding anniversary and a friend recommended this location to us. It was perfect. We greatly enjoyed the location and the condo. We will definitely be back."

"3522A
Everything was great except the fact that our unit had MANY minor issues that need repair/attention which we let the office know about upon check out (tub in master didn’t drain, other bedroom had No lights, TV in living room needs a new cable box)"

"Spring Break Close to Family
We chose Palm Island because we wanted a vacation close to family that lived in Rotunda West. It is a very relaxing location away from the over crowded hot spot spring beach locations. However, those locations are only a short drive away. It is a golf cart community with permanent, snow bird and vacationers. However, I have never met such nice people and staff. If you travel off property, you must keep the ferry / water taxi schedule in mind. "

"Fantastic Villa
Easy check in and the unit was well appointed with things like coffee filters and complete kitchenware including strainers for fruit and beach friendly cups. Beautifully refinished living and dining with kid friendly banquet and brand new kitchen and appliances."

"A Wonderful Disconnect
Our family of six was looking for some downtime to relax together and this place made that easy. The location is disconnected from the tourist hustle and bustle and gives you space to unwind. We enjoyed the empty beach, the warm pool and the condo balcony with a view!
The condo was very comfortable and had all the accomodations we needed. The resort staff are very friendly, helpful and responsive. The grounds were in great condition and open to explore.
We will definitely consider coming back here again soon."

"Weekend Getaway
The condo was nice...close to the beach, tennis, and restaurant which meant we did not have to rent a golf cart. Beds were comfortable and rooms were good size. Only issue with condo was the back porch smelled like pet urine when it rained (porch had a couch set not table and chairs) so we did not want to sit out there. A/C was noisy in the smaller room but didn't bother my son. We have stayed in Palm Island many times and we love this area. Private beach with no crowds is what we like. Overall this was a great stay...recommend renting bikes and touring the island. "

"Great getaway
is a great spot to getaway from it all. Loved the property. Our unit was fine. It’s old for sure but nice new appliances in the kitchen. Really cute decor. I hammered it below because the furniture on the deck smelled so badly you could not use the deck at all. Gave us allergies. "
Jul 12, 2020 - Beth W., Sarasota, FL
"Stellar
One of the best vacation stays we have had.
Staff is awesome.
Thought lack of restaurants and mainland access would be a negative...we found it to be plus because of the solitude.
One of the best places you can really "chill" and disconnect from the rat race.
We will be back

"Fun and relaxing time for the family
We have been visiting the for over 20 years. This year we rented two condos for one week to accommodate our children and grandchildren. The resort has an old Florida look and feel that we all like. It’s quiet and peaceful with beautiful sunset views and miles of uncrowded coastline. It looks like many of the units are being refurbished but one of ours was not. Resort were very friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed our time and will be back again."

"Slice of Gulf Coast Heaven
What a wonderful slice of Florida's gulf coast. I hate to write a good review since I would prefer this place stay secret and remain its quiet, old Florida charm. The wildlife - dolphins, manatee, cow nose rays, tortoises, and even owls - all were amazing and we made wonderful family memories. We have found our new top vacation destination. Bring your bug spray for the noseeums - they will leave you itching for days afterwards."

We enjoyed our stay in Lands End #36. Weather was great. We had about 50 people on the island for a 50th wedding anniversary celebration. "

"Island Ghetto
Our unit was old and tired looking. 30 years behind with garage sale decor. Very few items for cooking or helping with food prep. Coffee maker with no filters. We had family members in a different unit/same floor plan. Their unit was unbelievably nice! We paid the same for the island ghetto! "

"A slice of old Florida
We always enjoy staying at . It's a slice of old Florida, and we love having a full kitchen and view of the water. The staff is very friendly and accomodating. This year, the only drawbacks were the thunderstorms and Red Tide. "

While we had some difficulty with management on our reservations, the two weeks we spent at were wonderful! The people who work there were helpful and friendly and the accommodations were comfortable and clean. If you are looking for a quiet relaxing vacation, This is a lovely place to spend time!"

"B3522B
The resort was great, very peaceful. Secluded beach was nice. Since it was our first time a more clear map upon check-in of the property would have been a nice touch. The unit was clean and had everything needed for our stay. The only negative was the carpeting. It was stained and dirty. An upgrade in flooring would be a good improvement."

"Great Vacation Place
We came with a group of 39 Corvette Club members and had a wonderful time. This two weeks after hurricane Irma hit and the place looked as if nothing happened. You did a great job of cleaning it up! I can't believe that no one even knew about your resort and everyone I talked to loved it and had a great time."

"NYE Stay
We enjoyed our experiences at Palm Island immensely. The minute we arrived people were helpful and courteous and the few times we had to call the front desk our requests and questions were handled quickly and throughly. The grounds were immaculate and our villa was clean and had everyone we needed plus many extras:) "

"If you want private beach time, this is it.
Very awesome. We live in Indian Rocks Beach, Florida so we have our own beach across the street from our condo. This place is ideal for a wedding. If you do not live walking distance to a beach and you want to vacation and spend all your time at the beach then this is your spot. Full kitchen means you can bring all of you own food and not have to eat out 3 times a day (big money saver that can go towards your room). Get a golf cart, you'll be glad you did."

"Palm island stay
I don't think I will return. The beds were horrible. We stay at the medium value place, but still a bed was as bad as a pull out couch. When a pool was closed for the day and we needed to get a keycard for a separate pool, nobody said they were sorry for inconvenience, just reminded us not to lose the card or they would charge us.
Beach was great, and pools were nice when open."

"Nice vacation
we were all together 6 families rented 3 units. we all enjoyed the stay. The beach is very clean and so beautiful with lots of shells.
kids and adults really enjoyed riding the gold cart"

"Beach vacation
I did not like the long walk to the beach, especially with two small grandchildren, one of which had to be carried and the other wanted to be carried. There wasn't much of a view of the ocean, since the palm trees were in the way. The pool should have had umbrella's to help keep off the direct sun. I felt the amount that I paid was not totally worth what I expected. Don't get me wrong, the staff wee outstanding, and we enjoyed the restaurant. The unit was very clean when we left. Someone needs to go in and check out the kitchen. One frying pan needs to be replaced, don't want to eat teflon. The coffee maker is on the blink. I requested maintenance for the front door lock and squeeky doors, neither were taken care of. I requested the outside light by the front door to be replaced as it had burned out. This was done within 24 hrs and I appreciate that very much. The island was very pretty and the grounds are maintained very nice. The pool area very clean."

"Penny Pincher
We have stayed at PI Resort multiple times and enjoyed it, however this time was merely ok to slightly dissatisfied. The unit 3522 has hand written signs in it that say things like "For Owner Only" that give it a tacky feel along with some real cheapness. Tiny pillows, pots and pans that have seen better days. An A/C controller that stops at 70 degrees. Lastly, the ceiling fan on the porch is broker and the ceiling fan in the master makes a terrible knocking sound.
The owner needs to stop pinching pennies and make some improvements to the quality of the unit. I know I will request another unit before staying in this one again.
Thanks"

"Serene Island Getaway
We had a wonderful time at and we will recommend it to friends and family. It was a very nicely maintained property and our condo was very nice and clean. The weather was wonderful and we really enjoyed our time there. The beach was nice, water was beautiful and we liked that there was a preservation area between the condos and the beach. So very important for the beach critters and plant life."

"New found Gem!
Palm Island is the true meaning of secluded beach experience. It was like my family was the only ones there 3/4 of the time. And when you finally run in to somebody they have this bubbly exited happy look on their face just like you do cause the experience your having! If you want to truly "get away" from the stress of everyday life and I mean truly,vacation here for a few days and watch it melt away. This place is truly a gem. Can't believe a place like this has been here all along? But now that we have found it, their is no way to keep us away! Thank you so much for the experience Palm Island."

"not what I expected
Palm Island is a beautiful place, lovely private beaches and spectacular views - too bad our rental felt like a cheap hotel. Paper-thin walls (you could hear the person in the next unit cough), shabby furniture, cheap fake plants, kitchen cabinets that did not close, closet doors that were falling off their tracks, kitchen utensils that looked like they were yard sale rejects, itchy polyester sheets and a tiny tv. totally not worth the rental fee."

"Excellent get away!
We have been going to Palm Island for 13 years, every trip has been wonderful! It is the best place to get away from everything and relax and recharge. We love the quiet beaches, sharks teeth and sand dollars we find...golf carts are fun, the Rum Bay resturant has good food and friendly bar."

Two days was way too short of a vacation to spend in this beautiful paradise. The condo was awesome and the whole resort was well managed to create a wonderful weekend."

"Excellent!!!
I purchase the rental package from Living Social and I was a bit skeptical. I was even more worry when I arrived and did not find the location. When we called the office the employees were very friendly and eager to help us. I wish we could of stayed longer, but work did not permit the desire. Overall, it was an excellent experience. "

"Great Private Getaway
The beaches are terrific. Growing up on the Pinellas County beaches, I'm used to the beautiful white-sand beaches that the Gulf provides. However, there are always large crowds of people on those public beaches. On Palm Island we were able to enjoy a much more private setting. More pristine and less commercial. It's a perfect place for the beach lover to unwind. It is also somewhat limited on things to do. Other than tennis and the beach, there isn't much else to do on the island. The kids enjoyed playing on the beach for a couple of days. I think they would have started to lose interest if we'd stayed much longer. Without the kids, my wife and I could have stayed for a few more days."

"great resort but BAD MATTRESSESS
your mattresses need updating. the springs in unite 3522 are so old that we could feel them all. for the price you charge you should have good Mattresses, then this will be the perfect getaway vacation."

Kyle, Frank, Diane and "Big Bird" (the server in the restaurant) were awesome! Overall the proerty is well well maintained, staff is great and it was everything we expected! We collected sharks teeth, saw the manatees, collected shells and made lots of memories,
We're definitely going to book another vacation to Palm Island. "

I have been vacationing at palm island for 20 years. The condition of my last unit was sub-par. The beds were like sleeping in ironing boards. There was not enough utensils and dinnerware. The toaster did not work. It was obvious the unit was not well maintained by the owner. That said, I would return to palm island with the proviso that the unit amenities were upgraded."

"25 years of vacations at Palm Island
Our family of 4 began visiting the resort the first summer it opened in 1984 when our boys were 7 and 10. 25 years (and annual vacations) later, it's still their favorite vacation spot; and we've been many places in the world. Now they bring their spouses and children because they want their families to love the resort as much as they do. Their plan is definitely working. We love the freedom of "the island" and the convenience of the grills, pools and tennis courts. We hate to go "off island" and do so only to visit the nearby Publix. We felt very comfortable letting our boys roam alone when they were young and the resort was smaller; although there has been a lot of development since 1984, the environment still seems safe. We usually request--and have been able to occupy--the same unit each summer, and that makes the whole experience "a home away from home." Last summer, the bed in the master bedroom had an uncomfortable mattress (sagging in the middle) which made sleeping soundly difficult; but this inconvenience did not color the enjoyment of the visit. We plan to continue these vacations at Palm Island, although our increasing number of grandchildren will force us to reserve larger--and less familiar--accommodations!"
