Very clean and bright !

Great place to stay and lots of fun stuff to do at the house.

Clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and will be back. Thank you!!

Wonderful home that was completely refurbished after the hurricane. Thoroughly enjoyed the downstairs Tiki bar area with large screen TV, ping pong table and ample seating. A plus was the large screened-in lanai.

Excellent place. Large entertaining area. Well equipped. Would Stay again.

My family really enjoyed our stay here. The beach was wonderful and easy to get to. We rented a golf cart from the resort which made it nice to get around the island. We will definitely try to come back and stay here.

The house is clean and well kept. Beds were very comfortable, the kitchen is well supplied with everything one needs. We used the Weber kettle grill extensively, (must bring your own charcoal). The area below the house was inviting. From our perspective, the highlight of the home was the screened in front porch with ceiling fans. It provided a nice place to read a book, enjoy a coffee or drink. The island is very quiet - which is a great change of pace from the normal busy Florida that is on the other side of the ferry. The beach is a short walk away. Walking anywhere on the island is easy as there is little to no traffic to worry about. A small, well kept, community garden next to the property provided information of the plants and animals on the island. An added bonus was the lot behind the house had a pair of gopher tortoises. The host was easy to reach and provided information on the island including golf cart rentals. Overall and excellent relaxing stay.

This property is very well appointed. The owner responds. Almost instantly if you have an issue. There’s a really cute tortoise sanctuary adjacent to the property with lots of information about the life on the island. We found this place kind of by accident, and it’s our new favorite place to vacation! Highly recommend

We loved staying at this house. Very well equipped kitchen with all the appliances needed to make a comfortable stay. There’s an educational garden right under the house which was my three preschoolers’ paradise. They loved going on the trail and look for tortoises and cactus. It was a great house for adults to enjoy some nice beach time with kids.

The house is recently renovated and very clean. The downstairs has one of the best outdoor spaces I've seen on the island. Game tables, TV, bar, showers, multiple sitting areas and plenty of room to store golf carts for a run to the beach. Next door is a small parcel of conservation lands that has a trail around several gopher tortoise holes and garden gnomes. We had three elementary age kids on our stay who spent all of their time outside for once!!!

It's friendly, clean, comfortable and peaceful. We highly recommend it.

Great property

If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful, get-a-way and having the beautiful Gulf of Mexico sandy beach basically to yourself, this is the place to be! Perfect place to relax, reflect, and rejuvenate. Just make sure you bring everything you will need for length of stay, including TP. Once you are there on the island, there is no shopping for things you forget, unless you want to pay the ferry fee again. Owner was great to communicate with and was very helpful. Would definitely stay there again for the peace and tranquility. Walk to the beach is 5 minutes and absolutely beautiful!

Five stars stay. Definitely we will come back. Thanks to host for all the information and communication. Perfect week!!!!!

The new upgrades, Entertainment Center/Bar and Ping Pong table are great additions! We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend!

The house was renovated and had a great set up with multiple gathering areas. Mari the owner was incredibly responsive and helpful along the way on all questions we asked. We will be booking her property again! Thank you!!

This home was perfect for what we needed for a few days. Comfortable setting and plenty of room for all of us to spread out. The downstairs area is great! There is a conservation field next door which provided for tortoise, iguana, and bird sightings. We love Palm Island and will definitely be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mari's house. This was our second year and we would love to return again in the future. I am recommending her house to anyone that inquires about staying on Palm Island. Mari is quick to respond and her home is beautiful. Thank you, Mari.

Great stay per usual! Second time staying at Mari’s place and loved it both times. We will definitely be back.

The wide open space is so nice and the lanai is extra big. You can rent a golf cart and ride to the beach easily. The downstairs hangout area is perfect for kids and adults.

We enjoyed our time at Tia Maria's. Watch your step though by the picnic table had a couple missteps in that area.

Our stay at Maria's house was just wonderful. It has plenty of space to stretch out and it really began to feel like home. We wish we would have booked for a longer stay. The house is equipped with everything you need for enjoying a day at the beach and for cooking family sized dinners. There was even a rice maker! The outdoor shower was nice for rinsing off after being at the beach and the outdoor bar area has plenty of prep space if you want to grill outdoors. The screened in porch was nice to sit in to have coffee and conversations. We really enjoyed the home and plan to go back again. Maria was a gracious host and quickly answered any questions that we had. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone wanting to stay on the island. The walk to the beach was about 10 minutes but we were easily able to rent a golf cart from the resort. Just make sure to get there by 5:30. If you don't want to pay the ferry fee more than once, be sure to stop at the grocery store before you head over. There is ample fridge and freezer space. Don't forget sunscreen, bug spray, and toilet paper!

The house is okay. The beds are extremely uncomfortable and no one really felt rested. The pull out couch was filthy and had dead bugs in it, so I had guests who opted to use the couch as is. A very old looking stain was discovered on one of the cushions after we must have put the cushions back upside down when trying the pull out couch, which we were charged 200 for by the host even though it was not caused by my guests. The laundry room door fell off its Hinges as soon as we arrived and tried to open it which means it was not properly ancored as it almost fell on one of my guests. We were also charged for this, so maybe it will be fixed if you're lucky. The downstairs shower leaks water dripping from mold from what I believe to be the AC unit dripping, it was disgusting and unusable and probably a health hazard. Our host was unable to be contacted because she was on vacation, so we were given someone else's number to contact which felt very uncomfortable and unprofessional. I have stayed at this island many of times and have never come across these issues, let alone being charged for leaving the place 'filthy' per the hosts words, so make sure to scrub from top to bottom because I didn't recieve any clear and obvious cleaning instructions as I have when staying at many other houses on the Palm Island, with no issue. It's a house, there are better ones on the island, try next door or a few houses down.

Can’t say enough about this home. Would definitely recommend and come back.

This is the perfect spot for relaxing and enjoying the weather. We thoroughly enjoyed both the porch and the area underneath the house with the tiki bar.

So very happy with everything! Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Wonderful stay on a beautiful island!!

Wonderful beach house, clean, beautifully decorated and everything you need. Great location and an island that is so quiet you wonder where everyone is! Spent most beach days at the beach access next to the Palm Island Resort entrance. Found wonderful shells, great sharks teeth and a sunburn!!! Had most meals on the 2nd floor screened in porch and did go to Rum Bay Restaurant ( at the Palm Island Resort) a couple times. Plan your meals and get your food before you arrive as a $55 ferry ride is expensive if you forget your sugar for your coffee!! Loved it!

The house was very comfortable. Was clean, and supported all our needs. Beautiful beaches. The screened in porch was big plus😊.

This house and island is almost like a dream! It was beautiful, peaceful, and absolutely perfect in every way! The house was clean, well priced and offered everything you need plus much more! The downstairs deck made for fun evenings after being on the beach all day! The island is amazing! My children love hunting shells and they felt like they hit the Jack pot. We loved the wild life and quiet setting and the white sands and turquoise blue waters topped this trip off! I completely 100% recommend visiting this property and island! Maria was so helpful and sent me addresses and all info needed to make check-in and travel a piece of cake! I recommend buying your groceries before coming over on the ferry since it is $55 for a round trip with a vehicle. I also recommend renting a golf cart. It just makes travel around the island fun.. it isn’t a must but it made it easier and the kids loved driving around looking at the island. We plan on making another trip here and renting this property as soon as possible!

This place is exactly as advertised; and a great deal! Maria is a wonderful host, and was very welcoming. Highlights are breakfast on the screened lanai. Also, adjacent is a conservation space with native plants and flowers.

First, I have to say that this house was extremely clean (to me, this is very important to really be able to relax in a vacation spot and this house was spotless!). Nice set up outside with quaint hang out areas. They also offer every amenity you might need to spend the day on the water-chairs, beach umbrella, kayaks…it was so easy to just grab it and head out. Rooms came with nice televisions and fire sticks to relax at night. Truly enjoyed our time at the home.
