Vacation stay
We had a great time and the house was well equipped with any cooking equipment you would need, making dinner for the family easy. The views were gorgeous and the pool being in close proximity was very nice as well. The AC stayed cold and was nicely decorated and modern. I would stay here again!

The house had plenty of space for all. It was comfortable with a super floor plan. The kitchen was set up nicely, the family room and large table made for fun evenings over dinner, games, and desserts. A quick walk across the street was perfect for the gorgeous sunsets.

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

Wonderful house on Palm Island
Great place to stay on Palm Island. Beautiful house -- great for many people, with lots of outside areas to hang out. Fabulous views from the very top of the house to the deck views.

A great beach stay
We stayed for three nights at the Captains Quarters and all four of us agreed we would like to return. 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.
