  Wonderful! Grandkids were with me to celebrate my husband’s enjoyment of our honeymoon destination. He pasted April 6 and this would have been our trip together with grandkids. We did it in his honor.

  Overall we had a great stay. The unit was well equipped and offered a gorgeous view of the gulf. It also was close proximity to the pool. The resort staff was all smiles and friendly.
  
  Hard to find negatives but would say the unit is a bit dated. The couch has seen better days. And the bedrooms got overly warm compared to the living space.

  • Manager Responded on 6/28/2024

    Thank you for your feedback! We're delighted to hear that you had a great experience with our staff and enjoyed the well-equipped unit with its stunning view of the Gulf. We appreciate your constructive criticism regarding the unit. We'll take note of your comments about the dated couch and the temperature difference between the bedrooms and living space. Your input helps us improve, and we'll look into these areas to ensure a more comfortable experience for future guests. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another enjoyable stay. Please call and book with a live representative to make sure all your wants and needs are taken care of.

  Very nice place, upstairs was perfect for our children. Only thing I was dissatisfied with was with check in, at 1:45pm I called to see if room was ready, was told no it would be 3 and my family member texted me at 1:48 stating they were there and said they got in the villa. This was confusing to me.
  Other than that it was a nice
  Place.

  We enjoyed our short 3-nite stay. The villa was clean and comfortable for 5 friends visiting for a wedding. Short walk to the Gulf to swim. Our only complaint is the tv did not work. There were no directions on how to get the tv to work. Also front desk never answered the phone whenever we called for questions. Not good if we had an emergency!

  Our family and I had a fantastic time. My only complaint was the enormous amount of mosquitoes in the evening. We also had an issue with renting the golf carts. My nephew was told that there were no golf carts available. So we had to wait till our third day on the island to get one. Villa 2424 was incredible. It had a fantastic view of the ocean. It was clean and spacious. The staff on the island were very courteous very nice people.

  We loved the layout of this condo and the view is spectacular. The beds and couches were all comfortable and cute. The kitchen was well equipped and the staff on the island were all helpful. My on,y suggestion is to have a larger dining table either outside or inside.
  We played tennis and did a clinic with the pro Art. He was fantastic and the courts were great. We used the pool, hot tub, grill and they were all good. Golf cart rides around the island are always a favorite activity as well as shark tooth hunting. I brought 5 first time guests along and they were all in awe of the beauty and nature of the island. Can’t wait to book our next stay!

  good morning ,
  the ladies at check in could not have been nicer. They certainly understand how important it is to make people happpy and retain customers.
  we had a issue with security . we had three families and about 10 kids. 7 of the kids were over 16 and drove the golf carts. at times the kids did explore and go in the mud but there was no damage to property or the golf carts . security found it necessary to follow the kids everywhere and the first day threaten to take carts back . i think security should have tried to bond with our kids and taken a different approach . this made the trip less enjoyable .

  a guest from Sarasota, Florida does not recommend this vacation rental.

  We really enjoyed the Island as a whole. The Bell Staff was great and helped us with all of our luggage. The beach, grounds, kayaking, and Rum Bay restaurant were great for a family vacation, however the unit we rented 2424 is need of some paint, maintenance, and a good cleaning. The comforters were not clean, one had old food dried on it. We would recommend Palm Island for vacation just not our unit. In fact we live so close that if we stay at Palm Island again we will come and see the unit that we want to rent in advance. I understand that they are outdated but the property should have been cleaned and the toilet seat should have all of its parts.

  The location could not have been better. The view was terrific and the beach, pool, and tennis were steps away. It's a bit of a hassle to unload your belongs onto a golf cart and then get it to the property (especially when traveling with small children), but it's nice not having cars on the property. We ate at the restaurant 2 nights and both experiences were very good. Wish the store/ice cream shop was open later than 6 PM. Overall a relaxing time with family.

  We found the unit, which we have stayed in before, as needing some updating, especially the carpeting and bed linens. The office staff couldn't have been more thoughtful and helpful. They (especially Marty) assisted us whenever possible. We have been visiting Palm Island for about 15 years, and we will continue vacationing there in the future.

  Anna O from Tampa, FL recommends this vacation rental

  We were a group of 3 couples attending a wedding weekend on the island, and we rented a 3 bedroom villa. The unit was beautiful, fully stocked with dishes, blender, coffee maker, utensils (which we weren't anticipating) so all we needed to bring were groceries! The unit was the perfect size for us. I have had the pleasure of staying in a private home on the island, so this was my first time renting. I would (and will!)do it again in a heartbeat. The staff at Palm Island is nothing but friendly and extremely helpful, I can't say enough about how wonderful every staff member we encountered was, and how welcome we felt. Memories of our weekend will last a lifetime!

  We love Palm Island. My family has vacationed on Palm Island since the early 80's. The loft bedroom layout does not work well with our family - we love the Lands End Cottages - they have 3 actual bedrooms with doors! I would like to see the whole area be wifi not just the area by the recreation center. The Beach is wonderful and we found lots of shells. Red Beard is great with the younger kids.

    Dear Beth, Thank you so much for responding to our survey. We appreciate your visit and we look forward to seeing you again soon. When you are ready to book again, we will be sure to book a Lands Ends Cottage to accommodate your family more confortably. Enjoy a happy, healthy new year. DJ

  Were so surprised that the villa had 4 bedrooms ( rather than 3 ) The beach is the best we've seen. Collected 318 shark's teeth among 6 of us. Great time at the bar before dinner. Was raining a little when we arrived on Friday at 4 - went right to the bar had a ball. Then back to get luggage from cars. Then to Rum Bay to eat. the $9.99 AYCEat fish was fantastic. And the price; since I was paying for all 6 dinners. Ha. Sat and Sun. great sunny days; lots of beach, pool, fishing at Stump Pass. Cooked out 6 steaks. Up late playing cards with wine
  Anyhoooo, all was worth every penny. A great deal for the price !!! We will be back soon;; hopefully, in April.

  We have come to Palm Island every year for 25 years (except for two-one when my son was born, and one when my parents had a 60th anniv. party. It takes something REAL important to keep us away). My daughter got married on Palm Island last year. We LOVE the place. One problem this year - the rats in the unit were a bit disconcerting. We saw two, both of which were eventually eliminated with traps. I thought they were big mice, which was way better than finding out that they were small Palm rats. I realize that pests are a problem everywhere, but the maintainence person told me that they were aware of the problem and not yet been able to eliminate them.
  
  We already made reservations for next year. Hopefully, the rats will not be there!

  Some updates are needed in the unit we rented: The carpet was in need of replacement and some of the blinds did not function properly. The main problem we experienced however, was the hot water heater- 30 gallons for 8 people is not adequate! Also, the loft is totally open so although there are beds for 4 people there is NO privacy! Also we feel it is wrong to advertise yourself as a resort and then charge guests to use the workout equipment. Please, even cheap motels let guests use a workout room for free! Also, it is wrong not to provide one ferry pass per day. A group of 8 needs to be free to go to the grocery store, drug store, etc. once a day! All this said, The location was great and we had a wonderful time.
