It's a beautiful island with lots to do, but the unit we were in had issues. We were there 3 nights, mostly w/o A/C, in low 80's temp. Repairman there twice. Heavy dust everywhere, grimy dishes, porch furniture dirty, one chair heavily mildewed, TV, remotes, & dishwasher had issues, broken curtain draw bars, etc. Office offered to move us & would have sent cleaning crew if we had called, but it shouldn't have been like that to begin with for $400 a night!

1. My wife and I spent 5 nights at Palm Island in Feb2014. A really great vacation. We will be back.2. Unit was very clean, well appointed, and comfortable. We had a lower unit. Views from inside the unit were great, especially from the MBR. Huge sliding glass doors onto screened patio from both living area and MBR. 3. Kitchen well equipped. I cooked a lot during our stay. Ice maker worked great. 4. Very short walk to beach...maybe 200ft thru low dunes. Very nice pool close too, hot tub was very HOT which is nice since sooo many resorts keep their hot tubs too cool. Next to pool area was the common grilling area (no grills at units). 5 Gas Grills were clean, in excellent condition and worked great. I used them daily.5. Our unit did not have a deck. Screened patio yes. We would have opted for a unit with a deck. A small disappointment. If a deck is important choose carefully.6. The Fitness Center is OK at best. Equipped with some older aerobic machines, a set of dumbbells to 40 pounds, one bench, and an older multi-station weight machine. The space is ok size wise but dark, no big windows. On vacation I like to work out extra hard since I have lots of time, and this fitness center will be a disappointment for anyone who wants a great workout facility available while on vacation. Just barely good enough. When you check-in make sure you ask for a gym key.7. Not all units have internet connection or WiFi. Ours did not. I needed it for professional reasons, inside our unit Verizon signal was spotty and slow for internet use. This was a pain. Recommend you get a Wifi unit if you need the web frequently. There is a hot-spot at the cafe, but if you need frequent use you will want a unit with WiFi.We thought the ferry would be a pain, but it is very efficient. About a 3 min ferry ride (really.. that close) and they run continuously. It was a pleasant ride and not a detractor at all. They run until 1100pm. Guests get free passes for 2 vehicl

My husband, mother, and I stayed at Palm Island last month and it was absolutely beautiful. The beaches weren't crowded and it was very quiet, relaxing, and secluded. My only complaint is that having to take the car ferry to the island is kind of a pain. You always have to be worried about getting back in time to get back on the Island or you might be locked out! The worst part was that we were supposed to stay 5 nights, but when we went to checkout the night before our flight left, we were told we had to arrange with the ferry service to pick us up in time to catch our flight. This was going to cost $150! We ended up having to pack up quickly the night before and get a hotel room that was half the price of the ferry the next morning. It was sad to have to leave early and pay for a hotel room when we paid for 5 nights at Palm Island. Overall, though, a very relaxing, beautiful stay that I would be thrilled to take my family to again.
