Forgotten Winter

Easy to forget winter when staying in Tami’s wonderful house on a wonderful island in SW Florida with 75 and Sunny as the consistent daily forecast! House, location, weather and communication with Tami were wonderful. Being there so soon after Hurricane Ian was a concern I had. Happy to say that the house is so well built that it had very little damage compared to so many other homes I saw on and off the island. Very comfortable, clean and up to date. Thank you Tami! I hope I will be able to return next winter. I look forward to seeing the landscape redo! Terrence

Relaxing Spring Break trip without the crowds

Once we were on the island, you could not tell it was spring break on the the mainland... the beaches and water way were wide open and quiet, and no traffic. We loved seeing the dolphins and fishing off the dock. Per the home owner, we could use any of the many numbered “private beach” access points along the island that are for island homeowners. It was a very short and enjoyable golf card ride to the beach or out for ice cream everyday. Just tell the guys at the resort gate you are trying to get to coconuts or the restaurant, and they will point you in the right direction. We added a book of ferry passes to our stay (the more you buy the cheaper they get) so the teens could come and go back to civilization as much as they pleased. The whole property was such a comfy, casual, relaxing chunk of fresh air, we voted it one of the best vacations in years. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home with us, Tami!

Quiet and relaxing stay

Very nice roomy house accurately described. We loved our 5 day stay! The location is fabulous for walking to the beach or kayaking/paddle boarding from the pier. We walked to the southern tip of Little Gasparilla and back along the beach...roughly 5 hours round trip (including shark tooth hunting)! We paddle boarded as well as kayaked every morning. SUP Englewood was amazing to rent from...they delivered the kayaks to our pier. We saw dolphins several times next to the kayaks. My fav kayak trip was through the narrow mangrove tunnel just south of the last piers on the west side of Kettle Harbor and north of Rambler Hole. The house has a beautiful kitchen full of amenities. We shopped at Costco and Winn Dixie before crossing the ferry, so we were prepared to cook and grill. Did get ice cream at Coconuts tho! We did run out of toilet paper and the golf cart would not charge one evening, but a quick call rectified everything! Don't miss out on this sweet spot!

Loved the pier facility

Our #1 priority was the pier. It was new and lit. There was water and electricity at the pier. Very happy with the pier. It was a short boat ride to the marina. The house was clean and as described. Only disappointment was the view. It was almost “commercial”. But our priority was the pier facility. Including the golf cart was huge. It was a walk to the pier and the golf cart was very helpful. Also used the golf cart every day to go to the beach. Also used it for “rides” around the island. All in all we were happy with our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Tami Cashi

We purchased our Palm Island home as a place to get away from it all! We live an hour north in Sarasota so it is the perfect distance for us to have a vacation home. We are originally from Pittsburgh, PA. We hope to be able to share our little piece of paradise with you!

Why they chose this property

Palm Island is the perfect get away. We love that once we are on the island, time really slows down and so can we! The beaches are so private, no problems with parking here! There are so many beautiful sea shells. We see dolphin and manatee and so many amazing birds and turtles!

What makes this property unique

One of the few islands left where you take a ferry to get across! No bridges so it is really private. Great for a romantic get away, big enough for the whole family or a fun place for friends to gather!
