Island Bliss

A home on the water is a pure bliss. The soft warmth of the sun dancing on the gentle turquoise wave creates a relaxing tropical lifestyle designed for hours of unhurried pleasure.

Palm and Little Gasparilla Islands are the Florida of days gone by. Offering seven miles of white sandy beaches with nary a single high-rise to spoil the view, these two jewels of the Gulf Coast barrier islands, bring you the best of the best with homes ranging from grand estates to quaint Old Florida cottages.

Set between the intracoastal of Lemon Bay and the Gulf of Mexico they are only accessible by private boat or car ferry. The pristine beaches are never crowded and an islands resident’s welcoming smile and friendly wave is a testimony to the stress free lifestyle that only island living can offer.

Close your eyes and begin to imagine yourself being swept away in Island Bliss.

Knight Island (the most northern island bordered to the north

by Stump Pass), Don Pedro island (the “middle island), and Little Gasparilla island, the most southerly island, were originally three separate islands, divided by passes. When the pass between Knight Island and Don Pedro, and the pass between Don Pedro and Little Gasparilla Island closed (sometime in the 1960s) the islands became one, with more than seven miles of beach.

Palm Island is approximately two and a half miles long, including Knight Island, and over the big bridge, Palm Island Estates is home to approximately 100 families who live here full time.

There are approximately 225 existing residences, some used every weekend, others on a part time basis. Many owners rent their homes when they are not using them. When Palm Island Estates was platted in the late 1950s, a bridge to the mainland was built. In the early 60s, the Intracoastal waterway was dredged and the bridge removed for good. There are approximately 750 platted lots in this area with 453 owners. Don Pedro Island.

South of the road access, lies the Don Pedro Island State Park which is approximately 135 acres of natural, pristine land.

To the south of the State Park lies Little Gasparilla, an island accessible by private boat with approximately 300 homes, mostly part-time residents. Development there was started somewhere during the turn of the century. Some of the older “fish camps” still can be seen. Today, there are some exclusive homesites and two condominium communities.
