This was our fourth stay at Palm Island Resort. This place is amazing and is always been our favorite vacation destination. The place is super clean and all of the staff are super friendly and always accommodating. Thanks!

Rental and photos exactly as shown. The property is in the perfect location close enough to the pool with amazing views of the ocean. Rental was cleanup on arrival. Staff was excellent! The only problem we had was the master bedroom bed is extremely uncomfortable. If that was replaced this place would be a gem. We truly enjoyed everything about this rental and look forward to renting this unit again. It was just what our family needed.

We have been going to Palm Island since the mid 1990's. We were happy that one of our favorite units was available, B1311A, especially after Hurricane Ian.
The unit is close to the pool and the beach and is beautifully appointed. This is the third time that
we have stayed in this particular unit. As I mentioned, we have been coming here since the mid 1990's. The only drawback this time was the fact that we couldn't go in the water due to the seaweed and the developing red tide. It is extremely disappointing trying to explain to your grandchildren why it's dangerous to go in. Recent news reports warn of possible flesh eating bacteria in the seaweed along the Gulf Coast. Although the resort is not responsible for Mother Nature, one has to keep in mind the considerable expense incurred.

The villa is decorated to make you feel like you are at home! The bathrooms and kitchen have beautiful tiles and countertops! The view is amazing!!!

Overall a wonderful stay and Beautiful view! Pretty bedroom decor and plenty of kitchen utensils! The outdoor furniture and couch need updated, a few knobs on the dresser in king room were missing, dryer door difficult to latch, crumbs and ghost ants on kitchen table and cockroaches found on last day in coffee pot and kitchen.

As a family we started staying on Palm Island in 1987. Now our oldest child has two daughters of her own that are about the age she and her brother were during our first stay. We usually came in March for the kids' spring break. This was the first time we came in November. We are comfortable on Palm Island. We feel safe. The staff are friendly and anxious to please. All three of our grown children wouldn't think of another place to spend a week at the beach. They feel at home here. The setup is wonderful. The condos are nice and well maintained. The grounds as well. We don't know of anywhere else where one can walk two miles of beach with so few people. This year we introduced our granddaughters to the fun of finding shark teeth on the beach. While we didn't spot any manatees, we did see dolphins and starfish. If you like quiet and peaceful Palm island should be your destination.

We had two units on the beach and a boat slip with two golf carts. We had our whole family together for the week. We really enjoyed the entire time. Even with strorm Fred we had a great time enjoying the entire resort.

The place was very clean and nice had everything in it.I would rent it over and over again.

We arrived a little early to Check in and we were given the keys immediately. I was surprised at how updated our unit was and the amazing view. The beach was never busy and so many shells and shark teeth to find. I can't imagine anything better. It's like having the Bahamas in Florida. Also all of the staff was very friendly and helpful.

A quick three day getaway with long beach days, beautiful sunsets, and starry nights. No cars means no streetlights, no traffic, no vehicle noise. Slowed down island life suits me just fine.

We had an updated unit right on the beach and next to the pool. It was a delightful stay!

Very private and sparsely populated beach. Excellent for a quiet get-a-way. The staff is very professional and extremely helpful, We spent our 50th and 58th wedding anniversary's there and had a marvelous time. WE are looking forward to returning to Palm Island Resort for our 59th anniversary.

Screen door on lanai was broken and never fix, can opener did not work, borrow wine glasses from restaurant and borrow bbq tongs from restaurant, bbq grills need to be replace. Everything else was very good.

Our stay is never long enough when we come to Palm Island. The beach and water is amazing! The shells and shark teeth provide a new adventure everyday. We love cruising around on the golf cart & just relaxing the entire time. There is no other place like it!

I rented this house for my sister and her family as a 50th birthday from me and my mom. They are from south Florida and. I wanted them to enjoy this area as we do. We stay live weekends at Palm Harbour marina. They are planning another trip this summer. It was fantastic.

Palm Island Resort is by far the most private, relaxing and rejuvenating place to escape the "Perma Cloud" that envelops the Midwest for so many months in winter! The staff of the Resort is top-notch with customer service and are dedicated to stewardship of the wildlife that call Palm Island home. One suggestion for improvement would be an active program for recycling guest disposable waste. Any other place to vacation pales in comparison, as we've learned first-hand. We'll not stay anywhere else!!!

Overall our vacation was great! We knew the Unit didn't have any upgrades and that the floors weren't in the greatest was a little weird having carpet in the bathroom though. The only other issues we would point out would be how the kitchen cabinets aren't In the greatest shape and the door under sink area wouldn't stay closed properly. The master bathroom cabinets seemed to be falling apart underneath so we just kept all our items on the countertop. The villa Definitely needs some work done, but if we had last minute travel plans again, we would probably give this unit another try.

We stayed at Palm Island Resort for a family reunion. The island is perfect for an event with multiple guests: you can stay intimate in your villa, but the island has all kind of facilities for gathering with more people. Pools (every few blocks), beaches, restaurants, tennis courts, basket ball court allow to enjoy the beautiful scenery and gather with your people.Villa are clean and furnished appropriately. It is not a luxury place, but super clean, luminous and spacious.

this unit has a great location

We enjoyed being close to the pool/hot tub and were so pleased to find the gas grills. We cooked every meal but two on the grill. Thank you for the paper towels, coffee filters, and dish detergent. We bought sugar and salt and pepper in addition to other groceries. Couldn't tell if recycling was available. Lost an earring and couldn't find it. Loved the beach and views. Collected shells. Would have liked more organized tennis, but were there at a slow time. The Pro and courts were great.

We go away a few times a year to Marco Island, Naples and Fort Myers Beach but didn't know this place exists. In my search looking for a special at places we've been before as well as looking for a new place in those areas a special for Palm Island resort came up and I am so glad it did! We have been there over a half dozen times going in a few weeks again I make it a once a month trip! If you're looking for something different and only want to drive a few hours or are willing to fly here to the state of Florida this is the place to go there's nothing like it!

We had a fun three nights there. Loved the North Beach!

Our stay was fantastic! The unit was clean and comfortable. The proximity to beach access was perfect and the view from the unit was unforgettable. The resort was beautiful and well maintained. The beach was pleasantly unpopulated. All the staff we encountered were super friendly. The food at Rum Bay was good and reasonably priced. We came pretty well prepared knowing there is no grocery on the island and didn't return to the mainland until our departure. It was a perfect getaway! I wouldn't hesitate to return!!

We booked this resort because we wanted a place to relax. We didn't want to spend too much money dose went with the standard villa and I definitely would stay in the same room again. My only complaint was that the water leaked out the side of the shower and because of the leak there was some mold near the floor on the wall. This could easily be fixed. Other than that I do not have anything negative to say and can't wait to go back again! The views are amazing!

Overall liked very much. Unit needs updating badly, especially kitchen counters and appliances and living room furniture.

I have been to Palm Island several times since 1995. I have recommended it to several church youth groups in the Orlando area and they have had a good experience. In recent years my daughters and I have made it a Mother's Day tradition to spend the weekend. We love the peace and tranquility of the resort. All we need is a beach chair and our umbrella! When I get back to finish out the school year I brag about our visit. You should have an increase in bookings within the next several weeks. I also heard a radio station mention a stay at PALM ISLAND as a prize last week. It seems that my SECRET PARADISE is no longer a secret anymore.
I'd like to see more discount offers especially for loyal customers and refferrals. As I said before, I've recommended the resort several times.
I hope that I can return for another weekend stay when my family can arrange their schedules!

One of the best vacations I've ever had. I stayed the last week in September. I'm guessing because of the hurricane a lot of people cancelled their reservations seemed NO ONE was there. I had the entire beach as far as I could see to myself on 2 of the days, the other days maybe 3 or 5 people were on the beach. he pool was empty everyday, I never saw anyone in the pool the entire stay. Needless to say it was a very peaceful QUIET experience. I loved every minute of it. The unit I stayed in was a bit worn down but the room was spotless not a speck of dirt or dust or sand anywhere and the outside of the resort was extremely clean.

We usually vacation at Palm Island 2 to 3 times a year. The beach is beautiful and private, the villas are comfortable in the "old Florida" style and sunsets are an event. After returning to Palm Island again (22 years this fall), as usual, Palm Island was wonderful.

On this visit, we noticed improvements at check-in, Rum Bay Restaurant, Coconuts and the Rum Bay Store. We would like to mention several staff members who made our stay enjoyable. Dustin was excellent as our server at Rum Bay. He is very professional. Andrea at Coconuts made us feel welcome, helped us with the cart rental and served the best ice cream. Sabrina has improved the store with a better selection of items for our stay there or to purchase for memories to take home. Dan from the Bell Stand took care of everything when picking up our luggage, taking us to the Reception Center and then loading our luggage in the car. He is always upbeat and helped make our leaving not as sad. Everyone in the Reception Center was helpful. At check-in, we received a large envelope with a map showing the location of our villa and inside the envelope, all the information we needed. Although we did not have a need for or see any of the Housekeeping Staff, our villa was clean and had all the supplies we wanted for our stay.

Palm Island continues to improve in every area not only the staff and the amenities but the landscape and rental villas. We hope to return in December.

Great hidden gem of Florida. My wife and I had no idea this place was right in our own backyard. Took less than 90 min to drive from our home to the resort and well worth the drive. We were greeted quickly, checked in with ease, a bellman helped with our luggage and golf carted us to our villa. The room was well kept, great beachfront unit just steps to the beach where mid sized conch lined the beach and apparently are there all the time. We did have two complaints with the staff. First, I had to argue with the person who took our reservation as they were telling me the Living Social voucher I purchased was not valid for that weekend (fri, sat, Sun) because it was the week before thanksgiving. The only blackout date listed for living social was Thanksgiving day and they would most certainly be filling up and booking to capacity that weekend. During our stay, only one other room in our building was occupied, debunking what the reservation magager told us. Second, we rented two paddle boards and went out in the area near stump pass. While paddling, the ore my wife and I were using broke at the paddle, leaving us out in the water and having to lie down and prone paddle the board back to shore. Not really a big deal, but when we asked to be compensated since we spent at least an hour trying to get back we were told "you were given intact equipment that you brought back damaged We could charge you for the damage to the paddle." Sarah (I'm assuming an assistant manager) said she spoke with Kevin (the manager) and that our compensation would be that they wouldn't charge us for damaging their equipment. All in all, we will go back since it is a great, secluded and quiet place to bring a family. The resort staff just needs to work on their customer service regarding issues/problems that may arise and honor vouchers without argument.
