"The size of the house is unexpectedly spacious with everything we needed avaliable. We enjoyed every breakfasts and dinners we prepared in the kitchen. The pool area is wonderful and we had a barbecue. We enjoyed to end the evening watching some movies and our favorite shows on the widescreen TV in the game area. Everyone had a restful sleep as the beds are comfy. We really had a very nice stay at the Blue Palm!"

"Beautiful resort, amazing view friendly staff "

"Our stay here was just perfect - great location, everything we needed, Bryce left very good instructions for anything that we might have needed (we didn’t 😊), and very comfortable! We were close to everything but felt like we had our own little private place too. Will definitely come back here. "

"Great place for everyone to come together and enjoy each others company. When we needed some mixing bowls for cooking. Tony the owner sent some over right away!Excellent place to stay!Would recommend staying there in the future. "

"A great family spot. A space for everyone! Sooo fun. "

"We thought the property looked even better than the pictures upon entering the cozy Living Room. The dining room table allowed all 19 of us to squeeze together around the table ( 9 adults and 10 kids ages 8-16). The pool outside was well used and the hot tub nice and warm. We got lots of games of ping pong and billiards in. The 2 tables plus coffee table allowed many different board games to be going on. Loved having 2 refrigerators and the large kitchen. My favorite thing was having 6 bedrooms with en-suite baths. Everyone could get some time away from the group and not have to share bathrooms. We had some drain issues (holding water) in 2 showers in 2 bedrooms and the owner got a handy man over there right away. The owners were so prompt about answering and did everything we requested. Always so cordial and welcoming. The rules were very clear and easy to follow. Also proximity to beautiful Manatee Beach about 12 minutes away was easy and Coquina Beach just a little farther. They are 2 of my favorite beaches I have been to in FL in the 5 years we have lived here. The shaded picnic areas, large expanse of shallow water, cool temperature sand and lovely warm water - plus food available on the beach and evening music at Manatee made our beach times so memorable. The property was everything it claimed to be. We were all very happy with our stay and would go there again. Maybe some better cooking pans (scratches)and a griddle. Owners were the best. "

"Great property that’s pet friendly. Easy communication with the host. Would highly recommend "

"We loved this place. Very clean and plenty of space. Beautiful and safe neighborhood. Owners always got back within minutes when we messaged about anything. I highly recommended this place. "

"Booked a two night, weekend stay. the “property” is an abandoned vessel moored about 200 yards off shore accessible by watercraft only. No running water. ‘Water provided’ for personal hygiene and sanitary uses consisted of six sixteen ounce bottles and one 1 gallon jug half full. The onboard toilet was inoperable and ‘maintenance’ never arrived to remedy the situation. Spent the first night with the smell of human waste in the air. Transportation to and from the abandoned vessel is offered via a ‘water taxi service’. After paying for ‘unlimited’ transport for two people ($25 per person) we were taken back to shore by Captains Sammie, to spend the day visiting the surrounding area. Upon our return in the evening, we called Sammie for a return trip around 6 pm and were told she was on her way. An hour and a half later, after multiple text messages and unanswered voicemails we realized that we had been screwed. Thanks to a couple that we met on the dock while waiting for the return trip, we were able to get back to the boat and retrieve our personal belongings. We didn’t stay the second night of our booking. "
