Myers on the Gulf coast with sugar-sand beaches, beautiful harbors and lagoons, great fishing and shelling only accessible by a short 10 minute car ferry or private boat. Our beaches are some of the most pristine and quiet in all of coastal Florida. There are no high rises blocking your Gulf views, unpaved sandy roads, and a relaxed "Old Florida" atmosphere. There is one restaurant called the Rum Bay that serves lunch and dinner. The car ferry runs continually from 6:30 am until 10:00 pm from Sunday through Thursday and until 11:00 pm Friday and 12:00 midnight Saturday. You drive your car onto the ferry and then directly to your vacation rental home. It's a very special place to vacation. We have kayak rentals and golf cart rentals for your use during your vacation. All of our properties on Palm Island require a ferry ride to get there. One round trip on the ferry for car and passengers costs $55. The alternative is to purchase a book of 10 round trips for $400, or $40 per round trip. For more information on the ferry, google Palm Island Transit.

A lovely, roomy, nicely furnished home well set up for a family stay. Lots of places for people to find a quiet spot to sit and read. Great decks and a screened porch. Not enough hot water for everyone’s shower though. ##### James H. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laurie H.

Apr 4, 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Location #### Be prepared The area is like being stranded on an island. There is NO stores, one restaurant with very limited hours. The ferry is a barge fee was never disclosed for each car each trip. These things are not explained in the listing. Then the say you can only access the one restaurant by golf cart. Another unexpected fee. Very expensive. This is misleading because you can take a free golf cart ride to the restaurant from the parking lot. Also not explained. $$$$ of extra expenses ##### John D.
