Gulf Front Sanctuary With Breathtaking Water Views

Set directly on the Gulf of Mexico within the private, gated Palm Island Resort, this custom-built coastal estate offers six bedrooms, five and a half bathrooms, and more than 4,600 square feet of air-conditioned living space—surrounded by breathtaking water views from both the Gulf and Lemon Bay. Recently refreshed with a 2026 exterior remodel, the home blends timeless architecture with the relaxed elegance of true island living.

Accessible only by car ferry or private boat, Palm Island feels wonderfully removed from the mainland—quiet, natural, and reminiscent of a Caribbean island from decades past. Inside the resort, life shifts to golf cart only, whether you bring your own or call upon the bellman for concierge service. The island’s only restaurant sits just moments away, and twenty-four hour security watches over the community, even though only the sea turtles are up at night, nesting quietly under the moonlight. It’s a place where you truly leave your worries in the parking lot and step into perfect, uncomplicated paradise.

Upon entering the home, you’re immediately drawn toward its most unforgettable feature—a sweeping expanse of Gulf water that fills the great room with shimmering light. The first floor offers generous living space with multiple sitting areas, a gas fireplace, dining area, kitchen, utility room, two ensuite bedrooms, and a half bath. Warm wood floors anchor the main living areas while the bedrooms feature soft carpeting and the bathrooms showcase distinctive custom tilework—details that quietly reflect the home’s custom design and the care that went into every element. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms include two Gulf front suites—each with window-wrapped turret spaces rising to sculpted wood plank ceilings and capturing the horizon in unforgettable ways. Below the elevated living level is a full open ground floor offering secure golf cart parking, storage space and flexible area ready to be built out to suit your vision.

Loved by one family and ready for another; this Gulf front sanctuary offers privacy, beauty and a lifestyle found in only a few rare corners of the country—peaceful natural beauty beautifully unhurried.
