Palm Island is a bridge-less, private barrier island, 7 miles long between Sarasota and Sanibel Island on Florida's Gulf Coast. Sugar sand beaches, beautiful harbors & lagoons and great fishing & shelling are accessed ONLY by a 3 minute car ferry ($55 round trip per car or $400 for book of 10 tickets) OR private boat ride. Complete list of ferry rates and schedules can be found at www.palmislandtransit.com.

With unpaved sandy roads and a relaxed 'Old Florida' atmosphere, our beaches are some of the most pristine and quiet in all of coastal Florida. There are no high rises blocking your gulf views; no street lights and only one, paved road that leads to the island’s only business: our island restaurant, Rum Bay. Primary mode of transportation is golf cart and it is highly recommended that you reserve a cart at the time of booking.

Because our house is located in an unusual destination type island, we have a STRICT cancellation policy. Most travelers need to plan ahead for this type of vacation so it is very difficult to rent the house again on short notice. Because of this we strongly advise you to obtain TRAVELER’S INSURANCE.

Jay and Carrie are full time island residents; available to serve you as needed. Their hands on approach, assure you round the clock, top notch guest services worthy of their stellar testimonials.

Paradise Cottage delivers a unique, island experience of relaxation only a remote private destination location can offer. So remarkable and “off the grid” it will be nearly impossible to leave.

IMPORTANT: Please be sure to read all House Rules and terms and conditions of the Rental Agreement before booking this property as they are strictly enforced.

This is our second time visiting Paradise Cottage and it never disappoints! Palm Island is a beautiful, quiet, private island that is definitely for families looking for a relaxing island get away. The home itself is absolutely beautiful and has no steps(which is unusual on the island), but is amazing for us since we have an elderly person traveling with us and a young adult with cerebral palsy. The cottage is comfortable, clean, and spacious…and the best part is that the pool is its own private oasis! The beach is a short, five minute walk and there is private fishing off of the dock in the back if you’d like to do that! The hosts Carrie & Jay are close by and are very attentive and helpful if you should need anything! We will definitely be Back to this little slice of paradise!

Jay and Carrie are fantastic hosts! The cottage had everything we needed for a much needed weeklong vacation on the island with our family. The cottage has a great location, deep dock, total privacy in the backyard by the pool and in general is a beautiful tucked in oasis. We will definitely be staying with them again. Thank you Jay and Carrie!

This property is fantastic. The house is extremely well appointed - from the well equipped kitchen and bathrooms to the sunglass cleaner! We have never stayed at such a well stocked home. The furniture was comfortable as well as the bed. So many places to sit and relax outside. The pool was clean and refreshing. The private backyard with all the palms and flowers was so relaxing. The solar tiki's at night brought such a warm, relaxing evening - every night from our view on the comfortable lanai. Fishing off the dock was grand, only overshadowed by the manatee. The beaches were clean, private and such amazing views. The quiet, relaxing nature of the cottage was truly a vacation in paradise. Jay and Carrie are the epitome of warm, welcoming hosts. The gift basket was such a wonderful surprise - and well enjoyed. They have thought of everything any guest would need and enjoy for a stay at their cottage. This was our first stay at Paradise Cottage, but it will not be our last. Our stay was everything we imagined and much more. The house is very comfortable and well appointed and the back yard area - so private and so much to see, hear and take in. Simply stunning views!!! Thanks so much for welcoming us and spoiling us at your cottage!!! K&S Nelson - Wisconsin

Paradise Cottage is so very charming and has everything one needs for a stay on the island. We loved fishing off the dock, even spotting a dolphin! We loved kayaking and riding bikes around the island. Carrie and Jay were always available to answer a question or offer a suggestion. Their hospitality was second to none! Can't wait to return for another slice of heaven!
