  a guest from Ft mitchell, Kentucky recommends this vacation rental

  The property was in excellent condition. The location and view were amazing. The only drawbacks were the logistics with the ferry and the restaurant wasn’t great. It’s also the only restaurant option on the island and we only received three ferry passes for 6 days. To ride the ferry it was $55 each time. Also an umbrella would have been nice.

  • Manager Responded on 4/8/2024

    Thank you so much for your feedback. When you make a reservation, you get 1-round trip pass on the Car Ferry per day of your stay. We provide half of your passes at check in and the other half upon request. This would have been explained by the Guest Services specialist checking you in at the front office. We understand that sometimes information gets lost when guests arrive outside of business hours and do not check in personally with Guest Services. We value feedback like this so we may continue making the necessary changes to minimize confusions and misinformation. Palm lsland Resort thanks you for choosing us for your getaway and we hope to see you back on island soon.

  We had a recent 5 night stay in unit 1211, which has just been upgraded with a truly gorgeous remodel. The unit has a unique position on the beach with panoramic views, and the decor is light and airy- really could not be better! As usual resort staff were friendly and helpful. Rum Bay has also made some menu changes that were great and we ate there twice. Overall wonderful vacation for us!

  Tiffany O from Gunnison, CO recommends this vacation rental

  I found Palm Island Resort on VRBO or Airbnb. I ended up booking the property directly through Palm Island Resort. I was looking for a condo or house right on the beach and found it. Our unit had beach views from the living room and master bedroom and it was a super short walk to the beach. We loved this laid back, low key resort. It was so much fun going for a walk or run, exploring the resort, the bay, the beach, everything. Our unit was perfect and had everything we needed. The staff is super nice and helpful. We will definitely come back. The only thing our unit was missing was some basic food pantry items such as salt, pepper, spices. But there was plenty of dished and utensils in the unit. The property was super clean when we checked in. The unit we stayed in, is a little run down. It could use some paint, a few freshen ups, and the ceiling fans need to be cleaned. But I will stay in this unit again.

  I have been vacationing at Palm Island for 20 yrs. It is one of the most tranquil places one can visit in the US. The staff is wonderful and amenities are fine. I will say the rentals are adequate. The beach cannot be compared because it is what makes Palm Island so alluring. The rental units are disappearing so get there while you can but please be respectful to the other renters. The walls are thin, the floors are bouncy so every step you take is thunder to those below. And please don’t smoke because all your neighbors have to smell it.

  The rental experience was easy and the office was extremely helpful assisting me in finding the proper accomodations to suit mine and my husbands needs.
  
  On the flip side the golf cart rental was terrible. The cart did not hold a charge and when we spoke to them they said just leave it in the sun and it will charge in 10 minutes. Well that did not happen.....

  We had a very restful, quiet stay in the Palm Island resort beach villa. It's exactly what we wanted, and received. Solitude on the beach and in the "village" area. Bring your groceries and eat in your villa. There is a restaurant that is better for drinks than for food latter is okay, but just okay though the wait staff and service are well above average.

It is the only vacation spot that we actually leave from feeling refreshed, not like we need a vacation from a vacation!

  After coming to Palm Island for the past 20 years...there is no other place on earth like it. Relaxing and chiiled out... the perfect beach get-away! Never crowded and the most wonderful place to recover from a cold Canadian winter. We usually come a few times a year and I can't wait to return!! The Resort is wonderful, people are beyond friendly and welcoming! Highly reccommend it but want to keep it a secret as well!!! It attracts the right kind of like-minded vacationer...one who is in tune with nature and respectful of the sea and turtles. It may not be for everyone ie if you are looking for nightlife and busy kids clubs..... but it is perfect for us. There is no place like Palm Island!!!

  We love Palm Island so much that we've been at least a dozen times. This is one of our favorite locations because you look straight up the beach- very private. This is the 2nd time we've rented and my only complaint is that the furnishings were very worn and in need of replacement. I understand the condo has just been sold, so this may be a mute point. They did have nice, new floors since our last stay.

  This place is all about location. The beach is beautiful! The greatness stops there. The condos are showing their age. We stayed in the most expensive type so I would hate to see the standard. The golf cart (over $300 rental) was old, slow and very dirty.The bell boy staff and restaurant staff were very friendly, efficient and fun. The front desk staff (except Debbie) and some of the recreation staff on the other hand were rude and condescending, Oh well, it's not the Ritz Carlton.

  a guest from marietta, georgia does not recommend this vacation rental.

  Overall, we had a great weekend. This was our third visit to Palm Island and we were very excited to come back for a long relaxing weekend. The location of the villa is great! It is very close to the beach and is on the first floor. As always, the entire staff at the resort were awesome! They are friendly, helpful and professional. We had trouble with our golf cart and had to swap it out, but the staff was great and did not rest until we were satisfied. They should be commended for their exceptional customer service. Sadly, however, we experienced several issues with the villa itself - our least favorite so far. The biggest problem was having no Internet service. Apparently, the owner of the villa has elected NOT to participate in the free Internet guest service program for those units not close enough to the common areas to access the Property's free wi-fi. So, we ended up having to pay for internet access for the entire weekend. For what we paid, free internet really should be provided. Also, the cable television service in this unit is the cheapest, most "basic" cable available. We had to watch several football games on our computer. In the other two units we rented, the Internet was free and the cable service was exceptional! Finally, on our last afternoon/night there, the air conditioning went out! Thank goodness for that ceiling fan! We booked at the last minute this year, and this was the only unit available. We now understand why. Some of the amenities have been upgraded, others have not. The extremely old carpet was shabby and seemed a bit dirty. Many features and fixtures are extremely old and dowdy. In our opinion, this property should not be rated as "Superior". We have stayed in a "Standard" unit that was nicer than this one. Management was very sympathetic to our concerns and handled them with their usual positive attitude and professionalism. We look forward to returning next year, just not to this unit.

  We had a wonderful time located right on the beach and nearby the pool. The condo met our needs and was very comfortable as well as spacious with a Florida room that fully opened to the living area. As it is a pet friendly villa, I would recommend removing the baby blue carpet in the main living area and replacing it with tile, as a couple of prior stains were still visible although clearly it had been cleaned. The master bedroom sheets were so comfortable! We loved the king size of the bed and the closet space. The master bed would benefit from updated comforter and blanket as they were dated with a pink stain on the comforter. The place was very clean though with all of the appliances of a regular home. The toiletries, kitchen paper and washing products, coffee starter pack, and laundry starter pack provided made it an even more comfortable vacation. We were also very impressed with the yummy and tasty welcome gift basket with sweet note for our honeymoon. We loved our stay and can't wait to get back to the island!

  Amazing, amazing resort. Quiet, calm, relaxing and perfect for renewing energy. My sisters and our daughters spend some time every year, just laughing, and enjoying each other's company. Each year we go to a different beach resort, however, I believe that our traveling days are over. Palm Island is our one and only 'go to' reunion spot. Thanks.

  Vicki D from Macon, GA recommends this vacation rental

  We stayed in this condo year before last and really enjoyed our stay. This year we noticed several things that seemed to have deteriorated. The refrigerator didn't produce adequate ice and one of the bins wouldn't slide in and out, the dishwasher bottom rack was broken and difficult to use, the mattress in the master bedroom was worn out, (saggy in middle) and the furniture in living room was uncomfortable also. This has been our favorite of the 4 condos we've stayed in so it was disheartening to see the deterioration.
  Hopefully the owner will address the needed changes as we'd really like to stay again!

The accomidations were excellent. The villas were very nice. There was alot of space, they were clean and had everything we needed. The staff was fantastic.They were polite, accomidationg,professional and friendly.Lisa and Justin made our wedding a success. It was beautiful.They put everything together and it was amazing. The morning of the wedding we had to change our ceremony location due to the wind. Justin and Lisa came through with a beautiful spot and made it look amazing.The island is breath taking.The food was great. Fresh, hot and tasty.Thank you Palm Island for making our wedding special.

  We've been coming to PI for 20 years. This was our first trip without our kids, now 23 and 18.
  We picked a package deal and it was great value! We had a wonderful time. Unit 1211 was very nice. Too bad, an hour before we were leaving I stepped on a sting ray and it was so painful....now we know about the hot water. I had to go to the urgent care and get a tetnus shot and antibiotics. Even that did not cloud our trip. If I ever win LOTTO, I will live at Palm Island forever!!

  We have vacationed at Palm Island over 20 years. Apparently, we love it there. We have several favorite villa's we stay in but any of the rentals on Palm Island are great!!
  
  The villa's are right on the beach so, you walk out your door and there is the water and sand and shells and peace.
  
  We bring our food for breakfast and then eat lunch or dinner at Rum Bay Restaurant. They have a variety of meals on their menu!! Delicious food and daily specials!
  
  If you bring a computer, some of the villa's have WiFi and if they don't, you can rent a mobile hotspot for your computer.
  
  We always reserve a golf cart for our stay and enjoy our evening rides at sunset. There is transportaion from the Bell Stand but we enjoy our cart.
  
  Karen is the massage therapist available and is excellent. Pick up her card at the desk when you check in. She is very good!
  
  We will return again in May and December this next year. If we could, we would go more often!!

  One LITTLE gripe. Our 10 year old daughter, Maggie, has grown up with Redbeard, and was bitterly disappointed in his reduced role at the resort. His only appearance during our stay was the Friday night concert. She really loved the almost daily crafts like it used to be. I know we're not the only "regulars" who feel this way. Last Sunday morning, you should have seen how many golf carts pulled up to Redbeard's boat expecting 10 AM crafts...and how many disappointed little kids there were! Not to mention their mommies and daddies! He's always been a big part of our Palm Island vacations, and we're sorry to see the change.

  When I walked into my Villa it looked as if it is floating on the Gulf. The views are beautiful. It is in the truest sense getting away from it all. It is the perfect place for my very busy 3 year old son. He built sandcastles, swam in the pool, looked for turtles while riding around in a golfcart!! It is very natural and very low key!

  Of course the view from this unit is the best and we appreciated the special pricing so that we could rent it. We enjoy rainy weather and were blessed these four days with very varied skies. We were able to be outside as much as we wanted to be. THe location of the unit is perfect for getting in and out onto the beach. The unit is beautifully decorated and the wood floors are a great added touch. My husband much appreciated the recliner. Even though the carpet is the original it has stood up well and had no stains. The master bath is exceptionally appointed but the sink drain too slowly. The one on the left could not even be used because it would not drain sufficiently. The owners thought of all sorts of things to make our stay very friendly and comfortable. It is a great blessing that they continue to allow their unit to be rented. I wish other units would remodel. Some are so seedy that I need to be able to see the unit before I agree to stay in it. I hope they offer the special again next year because this unit is the best one on the island.

  The general areas are in need of attention. Landscape needs attention and general maintenance around the property is not as well kept as it should be. The unit we stayed in was in a beautiful location, but needs to be "freshened up" The staff at Palm Island is very friendly and very helpful. The location and setting are just lovely.

  Jane L from Centeniale, CO recommends this vacation rental

  First, let me give you the positives. Evan and Ann are awesome people at your front desk. Our unit, 1211, had the best view in 17 years of coming to PI and the unit was lovely. Service/maintenance was quick to respond and resolve the problem we had with our unit. Baggage men were fantastic.
  
  We come to PI for a small family reunion. Often we have found other accommodations that will work and keep us all together in a home or units next to each other, but PI appeals to each family member's needs in a nut shell. We truely wish to keep coming here.
  
  When we find you have units TOGETHER that will work for us, we book. 5 times this has not worked out when we got there, but was do-able. This time was rough. Splitting a large family between 2 units in 2 different buildings is NOT okay. At booking time, things are all so wonderful - you have found a few choice units for us - we are in the same building - we put down a deposit and understand that you would like notice if cancelling - we BUY FOOD FOR 1 UNIT since we are idealy together. That is until we get to PI.
  
  Once to PI, our plans come unraveled. We now have to split food between buildings - carry it down to another building and when we run out go get more from unit 1. Somethings you can't split. We've worked out our food arrangements before coming, now we are wasting vacation time doing it again - NOT RIGHT.
  
  In one building I know my kids are pretty safe going from one unit to the next to seek family. This time my son got lost trying to find the other part of our family 2 buildings over. We didn't find him until evening. I even found myself waking into someone elses unit. SAFE, I don't think so. I would think hard about safety issues with all the bodies of water on this properity if I were PI.
