\"resort\"Palm Island Resort, located on Florida\u2019s Southwest Gulf Coast, is the state\u2019s only true out-island resort. \u00a0There are no bridges or causeways to the island, which ensures a relaxed, tropical vacation setting.<\/p>\n

Cape Haze, FL<\/h2>\n

Palm Island Resort is situated south of Tampa\/St. Petersburg, between Sarasota and Fort Myers.\u00a0 They offer 161 privately owned villas and condos and 21 homes in \u201cOld Florida\u201d style architecture on a 2-mile stretch of pristine natural beachfront which is accessible only by boat or car ferry. \u00a0Since cars are not \"resort-road\"allowed in the resort, guests can park their car in their island parking area. \u00a0Transportation will be provided by their bell staff but golf carts are also available for rent for registered guests. \u00a0When you depart from the car ferry or tie up at the docks, it\u2019s an unmistakable feeling of relaxation as you approach Palm Island Resort.<\/p>\n

\"goflcart1\"In\u00a01976, Dean and Gar Beckstead had a vision to build an island resort.\u00a0 Together they purchased the 130 +\/- acres of land that is now Palm Island Resort. \u00a0Unlike a typical hotel, the resort was built in stages beginning at the south end of the resort and finishing at the north end. \u00a0The Rum Bay Restaurant and General Store opened in May 1988.<\/p>\n

The Rum \"rumbaystore\"Bay Store is adjacent to The Rum Bay Restaurant, a tropical island dining experience in a casual atmosphere. \u00a0The store is centrally located on the island and offers a unique selection of gift items, Palm Island logo wear and beach trinkets. \u00a0This is what gift shop manager, Kacey Plummer had to say about Dune Jewelry: \u201cEverything is handmade in the USA. \u00a0Our Dune Jewelry pieces are unique and 100% Palm Island. Dune offers attractive prices for us and our customers. \u00a0They also make ordering easy, with low minimums and the ability to create custom pieces.\u201d<\/p>\n

Palm Island Resort has been involved with the Lemon Bay Conservancy, Habitat for Humanity, Lemon Bay High School Project Graduation Murder Mystery Dinner, Paddle Addicts and Race Around The Island, a big stand-up paddle board race attracting participants from all over Florida. \u00a0They have also acted as a host for Tropical Nights, which is the area\u2019s largest YMCA fundraiser.<\/p>\n

The Palm Island Resort has 5 heated pools, plus hydra spas and gas BBQ grills at each pool area. \u00a0There are 11 hard tennis courts available for play at no charge. \u00a0Their recreation center offers a variety of rentals including golf carts, bicycles, canoes and kayaks and fishing equipment. \u00a0They can also arrange for wave-runners, motor boats \"OLYMPUSand fishing charters. \u00a0Golf is available nearby at several championship golf courses depending on your level of play. \u00a0The resort offers\u00a03,000 square feet of flexible meeting\/function space , perfect for weddings, family reunions and social events. \u00a0Deli, hand-scooped ice cream and small grocery items are sold at Coconuts, a small shop below The Rum Bay Store. \u00a0In addition to The Rum Bay Restaurant, guests can dine at\u00a0Leverock\u2019s, the resort\u2019s mainland restaurant located in the Palm Island Marina. \u00a0It is easily accessible by water taxi.<\/p>\n

Of course, not everyone arrives ready to fully unplug, and the resort doesn’t pretend otherwise. The villas carry reliable WiFi, and many guests keep their evenings flexible \u2014 catching up on email from the lanai, putting on a movie, slipping in a quick vpn casino<\/a> session or a sports stream that’s geo-restricted back home, video-calling the kids who couldn’t make the trip. The pace just slows around you. Whether you spend the morning paddling out to a sandbar or watching the day go by from a hammock with your phone face-down, that’s the choice the island quietly hands back to you.<\/p>\n

When researching your next vacation, look no further than Palm Island Resort. Leave the fast-paced mainland behind and enjoy the soothing tranquility that comes with a true, island setting on Florida’s Gulf Coast. While you are there, visit Kacey and his staff at the Rum Bay Store! They will help you select THE perfect piece of Dune Jewelry to remember your stay. Oh, and beach brides\u2026this place has you covered with everything in an exceptional setting that your guests will never forget. Contact them to start planning!<\/p>\n
