Welcome to the Tipsy Turtle: Luxury 4 bedroom home with Pool and Private Dock on Palm Island
Welcome to the Tipsy Turtle: Luxury 4 bedroom home with Pool and Private Dock on Palm Island This newly built island home was designed with rental guests in mind and finished early in 2024. Each of the 4 bedrooms feature large screen tvs , with three boasting ensuite baths for the ultimate in privacy and convenience. Hardwood floors and high end finishes are found throughout. The heart of the home is the gourmet kitchen, featuring top-of-the-line appliances, a convenient island with seating for 4 and a dining table that comfortably seats 8, plus a kids table! The screened in Lanai, has comfortable seating with views overlooking the dock and the Intercoastal Waterway (ICW). The heated pool is totally private and features and sitting area off the side under the main house. The dock is sheltered and has easy acces to the ICW. Great fishing right from the dock! Have you vacationed on the island before? Palm Island a.k.a. Don Pedro Island, is a barrier island 7 miles long between Sarasota and Ft. 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. PLEASE RESPECT THAT THIS IS NOT A PET FRIENDLY PROPERTY. NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE PERMITTED. There IS a charge to heat the pool due to island cost/Pool Heat Fee is $100.00/week. Please let us know you'd like it heated when you book!
