  Barbara B from knoxville, TN recommends this vacation rental

  This is our 20th year staying on palm island. This year did not disappoint. The weather was wonderful and all five of our groups were equally pleased with the entire 9 day stay. The only complaint we had was that the sheets in the master bedroom would not stay on the bed, and the washing machine leaked and was extremely loud. Another minor but not a deal breaker for us, was that both bathrooms are en suites... meaning if you have anyone over they have to go through one of the bedrooms to use. Other than that it was great. The kitchen was well stocked with all the utensils you could need which was a nice surprise. Would choose this unit again.

  Robert K from Nokomis, FL recommends this vacation rental

  Got together with fraternity brothers and wives to relive old adventures and create new ones. Weather cooperated for fun boat outings. Only negative was our building was being reroofed during our stay (thanks to Hurricane Ian), which created a lot of noise in the unit all day. Also Rum Bay closed earlier than advertised on the web site, so we had to scramble for dinner one night.

  a guest from Knoxville, TN recommends this vacation rental

  We had a great trip. This is hands down one of the best beaches we’ve been to. It was perfect for our young daughter. The Ferry ride was easy and the Bellman was exceptionally helpful and wonderful with our daughter.
  The unit was very nice adequate for what we needed. It was clean, but could use some updating. Also, we were not able to use the back stairs out to the pool/beach because they were broken and boarded up.
  The food at the restaurant on property was good, but we were ready for a change after a few days. We did not have a good experience at Leverocks and would not recommend it. Poor service and the food was not very good either. There seemed to be some communication issues between the different department at the resort (front office, restaurant, boat taxi, etc.). This was an issue for us having to leave early from dinner because we were told by the hostess that the boat taxi would t come back to get us.
  Overall it was a great trip and lots of wonderful memories were made.

  Overall the unit was nice but it could use some maintenance. The disposal was stopped up when we arrived and made the unit smell of old food. We cleaned it with disposing of ice cubes through the garbage disposal and that helped. The double doors to the master bedroom wouldn't latch all the way. Overall we enjoyed our stay and loved the island.

  The resort was beautifully maintained and clean, the staff at the resort and restaurant as well as Coconuts and the gift shop were welcoming and friendly. My unit was very clean and had every amenity you could think of. We stayed on property for the duration of our stay and my kids who are normally glued to their devices didn’t ask once to use them. We traveled with multiple families that stayed on the resort/island, which made it a lot of fun. Highly recommend staying here and we will be back for sure because we made memories at Palm Island that will last a lifetime!!!

  a guest from Alpharetta, GA recommends this vacation rental

  Family of 4...The property location is fabulous. The grounds are amazing and perfect distance to pool, tennis, store, and beach. On the condo specifically, we felt it was clean when we arrived and simple. Furniture and porch were great. Couple things could be improved to make this a five star. The deck posts were rotten and need to be replaced. Could be dangerous for small kids. The kitchen was great but the cutlery, pots and pans, kitchen supplies is sparse at best. Needs to be upgraded. Fans need to be rewired or replaced. Tough to get them to turn on. Finally, the AC didn't seem to keep the home cool. We kept doors closed and it struggled. Need to add freon or fix. Over all we were pleased with the stay. The beach was amazing and we caught fish off the beach every day. If you want to leave the island early, It is tough to get help with your luggage before 8am. We will be back to the resort but will chose a condo that has been upgraded a bit more.

  wish i had found this place earlier--my family adored it. great lodging, beautiful beach. the ferry gets a bit old, but it also makes you stay on the beach and focus on family time instead of wandering around off island. Best tip: buy groceries and cook there--very limited restaurant service.

  Our 15th trip to Palm Island was fully equal to all the previous trips, and our unit ws the nicest unit yet. The owner's decorating skills really made the unit stand out. Despite possibly the worst weather in years, our time was most enjoyable. As usual, all the employees couldn't have been nicer and handled our every wish. We will return in 2011 for our 16th time.

  We had two big cockroaches which I know are hard to control and the toaster didn't work. The hammering for the rehab. was a little annoying, but not too bad. Since it was out 4th time there, you know we loved it. This apartment was in much better shape than the other which had become tired with use.

  Had a great time with the family as it was relaxing. No crowds, No traffic, No Brainer. This is the place to go to just relax and spend the day at the beach and then go fishing as the sun goes down.
  
  I think the golf carts are over priced. They should be part of the vacation rental package or you should have the option to bring your own.

  The property was very nice-we slept 2 couples and a child very comfortably. The beach is lovely, the food at the restaurant is very good. We went down for a wedding and had a great time, because we all stayed nearby. Make sure you load up with food and drinks before yu get to the island, especially breakfast, because your options are VERY limited. We stopeed at Publix on the way for snacks, and found we needed to go back out to get breakfast food and lunch. Also, bring bikes to get around the island, it is a much more enjoyable way to see everything.
