"Awesome Getaway!
Had a terrific time in a beautiful location The unit was clean and comfortable. Kitchen implements were sparse making it challenging to cook a meal. Everything else was just perfect!"

"Fantastic island getaway
We’ve stayed at the resort about 10 times and this was one of the best units. 3624 is close to the gulf and has great views. They did a great job with a recent remodel. Great balcony.

"Great Getaway
Very clean, well equipped condo. Dining table that accommodates 6 people. Nice private setting within the Villa 'line up'. Beautiful views on the lanai with comfy, relaxing furniture! I'd be very happy to stay in this condo again!"

"Beautiful, quiet retreat
We had a wonderful time relaxing in our beautifully appointed one-bedroom villa with expansive views of the gulf. The office staff and porters on golf carts were so friendly and helpful. We highly recommend staying at for a restful retreat. "

"July 4th Weekend Get A Way
Very comfortable and well appointed. Beautiful view from balcony and dining area. Close to restaurant, which was nice. Loved that it was dog friendly but was told that was changing with new ownership. "

"Disappointed
Disappointed with the way I was treated. I was treated very well by the majority of the staff at the resort however I experienced very disappointing treatment by Marty upon check-in. As this was not my first visit to the property and have experienced other than kind treatment from Marty in the past. I have another state planned at the beginning of August and unfortunately I will be making it my last visit to the property as long as Marty is still responsible for reservations. "

"Perfect beach getaway
Beautiful location have stayed at this resort 3 times beach is fantastic and uncrowded. Only negative comment I have is the unit I stayed in needs new floor covering maybe tile or hardwood would make it more enjoyable"

"Another great stay at Palm Island
We come here often. Always a great experience. Very peaceful. Everyone is very friendly whether they are other guests, owners, or the staff. Treat yourself to a very special experience and spend some time here. You will be glad you did."

"My review of Palm Island
The staff at palm Island are friendly and very helpful, It is a quiet and relaxed location, I loved walking on the beach with the wife every morning. The restaurant is very nice, food is good the bartenders are great, but it closes at 9pm. Overall we had a very nice stay. I did however book my room almost two months in advance. We booked a first floor room with wood floors. A week before we arrive I receive a call we are moved to another building because of "maintenance" but the same accommodations. We got an upper level with old carpeting and a nasty couch. We ran into several other quests that it also happened to so be carful of that. "

"Awesome trip despite Red Tide!
We had an awesome vacation! Resort was beautiful and accommodations were great! Wonderful family trip! Only thing that hindered our trip was the Red Tide. "
Aug 17, 2018 - , Seminole, FL
"Great pace to just chill and walk the beach.
We rented a one bedroom villa. Since you cannot bring your car onto the property we had a golf cart for the two days we were there ($50 per day). Driving the cart to the northern end of the island, we found dozens of shark teeth and make shells we saved to take home. This made our stay as my wife is a veteran shark tooth collector od many years. Only one restaurant to eat at but it was good and reasonably priced. You can take the water taxi just behind the restaurant to the only other nearby restaurant (Leverocks) for a larger menu and higher prices. Lots of tennis courts, pools, well maintained property, great staff, would go there again for 3-4 days but probably would be bored for a longer stay."

"Review of 3624
Nice unit and view but the furniture was dated and uncomfortable. The couch looked like it came from goodwill!
Too many locals on beach with boats and dogs! This spoiled what was once a wonderful beach. Maybe security could patrol once an hour. Some of the boaters seemed confrontational so my wife and I avoided the areas where they set up. Unfortunately these were some of the nicer beach areas. "

"Our week at Palm Island - unit 3624
We had a great week at Palm Island. The unit was clean and well furnished, both with the furniture and the kitchen. We would absolutely come back and stay here, and recommend it to a friend. "

"First visit and will not be my last
We thoroughly enjoyed our time on Palm Island. Our villa was great and so was the location next to the restaurant and pool. We are already planning to return in the fall."

"Little slice of Heaven at Palm Island
Very Friendly staff, CJ and Willis were great in RumBay. All staff in Coconuts were helpful and friendly and check in was very good too. Our unit was great, perfect for two people, very nicely decorated! unspoiled Florida at it's best is how I would describe the beaches there. Can't wait to come back!!!"

"Always a great experience here
Our 3rd trip in the last 12 months. Will continue to return. All of the staff are professional and friendly. Palm Island Outfitters is the best. They underpromise and overdeliver every time. Am so impressed thinking of buying a place."

This was the perfect place for a quit getaway, with a beautiful beach, hot tubes, and pools. There was lots of wildlife to see such as stingrays, manta rays, dolphins, etc. The staff is very friendly. We hope to go again soon. "

"A great place to stay.
Stayed only two nites-wish we had stayed longer. Nicest beach rental we ever had. "

"A Much Needed Respite
We made a reservation for the Romance Package. My husband and I were celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary. We were exhausted from too many "life responsibilities," so this was a much needed respite. The picnic lunch was delicious! As well, we enjoyed long walks on the beach, golf cart rides around the island, quiet swims through the pool, and a lovely dinner at Leverocks. This was a great package and worth every penny. We have already shared our experience with friends and will certainly return. Thank you!"
Jul 16, 2013 - Mary H., Readington Shores, FL
"A hidden getaway
This is a fantastic place to relax, unplug & really get away from it all. Rent kayaks, bikes, go fishing, or swim in the pool and/or beach. Bring your own food, snacks & drinks. Rum Bay Restaurant is just okay so you'll wantro stop & shop before u get on the car ferry. "

"12 years a Visitor
Discovered Palm Island by accident while at the AAA office 12 years ago, and have not missed a year staying there. It has become almost a "home away from home." No matter what else we do during the summer, we never miss our time at Palm Island!"
Jun 29, 2013 - Carlos C., Cape Coral, FL
"Great resort
The only issue was the gates being locked at 11pm, we have friends that own a house on the island and would spend evenings and nights together. The one instance the security guard was a little rude and upset that we were coming back to condo after 11pm. Other than that it was wonderful, enjoyed every minute and plan to reserve again."
May 30, 2013 - Kelli A., Winter Park, Fl
"Awesome Vacation Rental!
It was a great place to stay and really feel like you could get away from it all! Our unit was beautifully decorated and very convenient to the beach and pool and restaurants. We had a delightful experience and cannot wait for a return visit!!"

Couldn't have asked for a better view to wake up to and to watch the sunset. The staff was great in helping with anything we needed and overall it was a great experience."

"We'll be back
We had never heard of Palm Island until it popped up as a Living Social offer. Fromt he minute I called for the reservation I felt welcomed and special -- talk about getting you revved up for a trip. Your Island is gorgeous, the accomodations we terrific -- we'll be back, and we've already recommended Palm Island to friends and family."

"Great location, excellent condition, professional/courteous staff
Please provide full breakfast availbility. Need place to get hamburgers and FF (etc) besides the sit-down dining area. Rum Bay food and service very good. We particularly enjoyed the kayak to the hidden lake in spite of the heavy winds. We'll never go to Leverocks again. Terrible service with less than mediocre food. Water taxi was fun - especially the congeniality of the captain. Food and coffee way overpriced at Coconuts."

We had an excellent stay. One minor complaint, the couch in our unit was"tired". We love Palm Island and all the Palm Island staff."

"Our Anniversary
The young bell boy was a little bit lazy. We carry most of the things to the 3rd floor!!!!.The place was clean and with everything you need. We went on Sep 16 for a week. Rainy season but we have sunny days. there were no more than 10 people in the resort during the week. The beach was for ourselves. The food in the restaurant could be better. You need to bring food if you are staying for more than 3 days. The apts should have Free Wi Fi. When we were leaving we call the front desk for a pick up and they never told the driver. He helped us because he was dropping somebody else and he saw we were waiting. our stay was quiet and relaxing and that's what we wanted."

"Well kept secret off the beaten path.
A special natural place away from the hustle and bustle of more developed areas. This property is in a beautiful part of Florida that still has some semblance of the past in terms of the natural environment."

"Great time.
We had a very relaxing week. The weather was perfect shelling was great. Our only complaint is that the bicycles are in need of major repair. We rented two and could only ride one.
Overall the trip was perfect."

"Getaway on the Island
Great property, great location of our unit. In our unit the floors were worn along with the tub and toilet seat.Some stains on the furniture. Could use some attention. "
Apr 27, 2012 - Arlene D., Venice, FL
"Peaceful
We would give our stay a rating of 4.5. Everything was beautiful. Bikes need updated. Condo equipment might be checked more often. Our bedroom tv had issues. Overbilled for room initially but was quickly corrected. Minor things. Overall we loved it. Wonderful view and very nice condo."

"Feb 2012 visit
We love Palm Island--6th visit in about 15 years. Everything well maintained--TV's in unit could have been larger/newer and also did not like new system of locking access to pools. Otherwise, will go back for sure!"

"Nice w/a ferry glitch
Overall we were quite please w/our experience! The only glitch was that we came expressly for the purpose of helping my husband's parents who live quite close by, and it was very misleading about the transportation back and forth. We were led to believe that all trips were complimentary if you were staying on the property. Your brochure and even communicating w/the staff. So that was a bit disappointing."

"groupon stay
i purchased a groupon to use for this trip, and it was a nice relaxing day trip. beaches were nice, with the exception of some large decaying fish on the property that seems to have been there for quite a few days, apparently there had been red tide, but the smell was awful. down at the shark tooth beach, no dead fish, very nice there. large variety of shells and shark teeth. the condo was nice and clean, will be bringing my own pillows next time as they were very flat and hard. golf cart was nice to have. we wanted to go out on the kyak which was part of the deal and when we got there, the lady said that she had nobody to let us get it, it was only 2pm on a Sunday and that we could come back in the morning and use it, but that we not good for us, so we did not get to use the kyak. also we were supposed to get a "wine and cheese basket", well it was not a basket and there was a nice bottle of wine in a bag along with a chunck of cheese in plastic wrap and also a handful of crakers in some plastic wrap- i would have not given that to a guest. otherwise a good value for the money, not just exactly as i had imagined it would be from the advertisement. but lovely, lovely place and so peaceful, we will go back."

The view was spectacular from our villa - the weather was wonderful - the people were SO friendly - the beaches were marvelous. This is a one of a kind mystical place. We felt like we were far away from everyone and everything, but only a couple of hours from home. It could not have been more lovely. Thank you."

"Getaway Weekend
offers an oasis from the day to day grind. Our stay was enjoyable from the minute we stepped foot on the island until we pulled away from the dock. It is quiet and relaxing but still provides all the amenities we would like. This was our third stay on the resort and would not hesitate to rebook for a spontaneous get away."

"Beautiful Resort!
Overall our experience was really great. The island is beautiful and the beach is very clean and not crowded. The villa was clean and spacious and had a great view of the beach. The only thing negative we noticed is that the bikes for rent were in very poor condition - rusty and not maintained well. We will definitely return for another visit. "

Miles of beautiful beach with almost no other people in sight!Roomy, well equipped suites.Prices went down considerably sine we were there last time about 4 years ago. The food in the local restaurants is kind of basic and simple,and also priced moderately. Over all, greatly enjoyed our stay, and will consider coming back again!"

"A return to Palm Island
We have been coming to since 1988. We have never had a bad time and off and on we have vacationed at other spots on Florida's gulf coast. Palm Island is to be commended for keeping the resort as promised - "never spoiled". Nothing beats a sunset from a villa balcony."

"Once you start...you'll never want to stop...
Once you start coming to Palm Island, you'll never want to stop looking for a way to become a permanent resident. From the initial call to book your stay until the time you leave, you are a VIP. The peace and tranquility you experience during your stay is like nowhere else I've EVER been. I COULD write a book about our stays at PI, but I encourage EVERYONE to make memories of their own. It's THE BEST get-away value in Florida. We look forward to our next trip. See you soon!"

"This was our 17th trip to Palm Island
All of the staff are always accomadating. I would like to give a special "shout out" to Maggie in the Recreation Center. She went above and beyond her regular duties to make sure we were able to bring home some swamp sauce even thought the general store was not opening until after our departure. Regretably, we had to share one bottle with our next door neighbor when we got home.....Thank you ALL for another wonderful week"

"late march 2010 stay
laid back, no noise, quiet peaceful, uncrowded - what we wanted:no night life, no discos, no casinos. long uncrowded beach but do beware the jellyfish. operationally, communication among staff could be better. minor issues, when we cked in our keys could not be found, our resort card and parking pass had wrong expiration dates on them. the activity sheet on the buletin board was 2 weeks old...for being what should be a "green" place, little or no emphasis on recycling anything. getting a newspaper can be difficult. they have free long distance calls- a perk, but only wireless internet access is at the restaurant area - could be a hassle - go figure!"

"Awesome getaway
This was our first time staying on Palm Island in over 7 years, and we found it as relaxing, authentic, and peaceful as ever. Even though our 1-bedroom was "oceanview" and not "oceanfront" it was virtually oceanfront and had a panoramic view of the ocean from the large screened in porch. Recommend highly. Can't wait to come back for a 2nd getaway!"

"Our best weekend ever...
I will certainly recommend to my friends. The only thing I would like to see changed are the lights along the path in front of the units. At night the lights sort of washed out the stars. Maybe lights that are directed down or hooded would help. But overall our stay was wonderful."
Oct 03, 2008 - Jennifer N., Lutz, FL
"October 2007 stay
This has been our favorite unit for many years but the condition has deteriorated too much, especially the floors and the bathroom. The look of the bathroom places the unit in the budget motel class. This is unfortunate becasue it decreased substantially our value of what we paid for. I will not stay in this unit again until it is remodeled. I know your policy regarding chossing specific units but I will request more information on future units to know whether they have been remodeled. For the price being charged, the unit needs to be better. "

"Very Disappointed
I have stayed here 4 times and the previous 3 times were great.But last year was not as fun for one they do not give as many car ferry passes.All the golf cart trails going to the beach were blocked off,so you have to walk a long ways to the the past years this was not a problem.If I would had knew this I would not had spent the extra $250 on a golf cart.The restaurant was to expensive and that it is the only one and only a few car ferry passes you do not have much choice.We even left a day early last year.This year we are going to Indian Rock Fl.I would return to Palms Island but they need to make some changes.Also the unit I stayed in had really old furniture not a big deal but for this price it should be nicer.I sugest a return customer discount and a referral discount.Palms Island will miss my $1300 plus $250 cart rental and over $300 drinks and food I spent cause I am spending somewhere else this year."
