We decided to stay in the Pinfish room (smallest room) and were pleasantly surprised with how comfortable it was. The Inn is in the perfect location as almost everything, including the beach, is within walking distance. Margarita (GM), front desk staff, and housekeeping staff were all very welcoming and friendly during our stay.
This is a clean simple hotel. We stay here overnight when we sail to Gasperilla every November. The rooms vary in size. Ours was on the second floor with a King size bed and a kitchen. The air conditioner works and we were very comfortable. There are nice stores around the corner includes bakery and coffee shop. We had dinner at the top notch Pink Elephant restaurant and a night cap at the nearby Gasperilla Inn. This place is owned and operated by the Gasperilla Inn.
My fiancé and I absolutely love the Palmetto Inn! We have stayed multiple times, and we just keep coming back! The Inn is so welcoming and quaint. All of the suites are clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The staff could not be more friendly, helpful, and accommodating. This is our home away from home on our very favorite island! Highly recommend staying at the Palmetto Inn!
Had the opportunity to view this property. Beautifully renovated. All the rooms look amazing.
We stayed in the Blue Marlin room. We found our room to be spacious and clean for rent for vacation or work. The staff are friendly and very helpful. There's availability to a pool and laundry, a kitchen in the suite, and activities in the room. Located right next to downtown, so it's an easy walk for shopping or dining. And most importantly, the beach is a short walk away!! Would definitely stay here again.
Making an unplanned pitstop, tired from an all day boating trip from Naples to Sarasota, we arrived by boat at Miller's Marina. The Palmetto in was within walking distance of the Marina. We had a lovely dinner nearby at the Key Lime Bistro around the corner. We made our last minute reservation through Thia who was extremely helpful, providing us will all the necessities. Our room was clean, linens were fresh. Great location and service! Thia saved the day, for us!
My wife and I had an AMAZING stay at the Palmetto Inn during Father's Day weekend. The staff were wonderful, the facility itself was well located and well equipped. We really couldn't wish for a better time, and a lot of that had to do with how smooth the process was. Thanks to the team that run the Palmetto Inn and the Boca Grande Resort! It's worth noting that the only parking for the Inn is on the street, but even on a fairly busy weekend that we visited, we didn't have any issue finding a nice close place to park (and, of course, with it being street parking, there is no extra cost for you to consider). Looking forward to our next stay!
Very nice place. Cute and quiet right in the middle of downtown Boca Grande, you are pretty much in walking distance to everything. The room we stayed in provided everything we needed a coffee maker, stove and refrigerator. They also have pretty much any kind of dishes you’ll need for a few nights stay. The beaches are beautiful and you can rent golf carts by the hour or by the day depending on how long your staying and the Palmetto also has a place to charge and park the golf carts. I was worried about parking but not an issue they have a parking lot right across the street. Great place to bring your family!! We loved it!!
A 5-minute walk from the nearest beach, this modest inn dating from 1900 is a 14-minute walk from Boca Grande Lighthouse, and a mile from fishing and swimming at Gasparilla Island State Park.
