Lazy Palm Cottage

Lazy Palm Cottage is back and better than ever for 2026, welcoming guests for the first time since the storms of 2024. Completely remodeled, this charming 1930s beach cottage sits just one house in from the beach — no roads to cross, just an easy stroll to the sand. Enjoy warm days, beautiful beaches, and a relaxed pace on an island that still captures the spirit of old Florida. It truly doesn’t get much better than this.

Welcome to Lazy Palm Cottage. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, this charming home is deceptively spacious and comfortably accommodates one or two families. Multiple living areas provide plenty of room to unwind — whether you’re watching TV, curling up with a good book, or enjoying games together.
As you step inside, you’ll find a bright open living area with steps leading down to a lower family room that opens directly onto the private heated pool. The family room is equipped with a 55" flat-screen SMART TV.

The fully equipped kitchen overlooks the dining area and features two separate workspaces with dual sinks and granite countertops. Appliances include a microwave, dishwasher, stove, and garbage disposal, as well as both a drip coffee maker and Keurig, blender, toaster, and hand mixer.

The second bedroom offers a queen-size bed, two closets, and a SMART TV. The garden-facing primary bedroom features a king-size bed and double closet, while the third bedroom includes twin bunk beds and a SMART TV. Two bathrooms are provided — one with a walk-in shower and the other with a shower/tub combination. Fresh linens, bath towels, and beach towels are provided for your stay, and a large laundry room with washer and dryer is available for your convenience.

Step outside from the family room into your own tropical oasis, where a free-form saltwater pool awaits — the perfect place to relax on a chaise lounge. A spacious covered seating area with a comfortable sectional sofa invites you to linger with an ice-cold drink or a good book. A gas grill, outdoor shower, and beach cart for your gear complete this private retreat.

The pool is heated during the winter months; however, during occasional cold spells when temperatures drop into the 50s or 60s, the heater may temporarily shut down as a safety feature, and the water temperature may be cooler.

Parking is available for up to three vehicles.

Note:  We do not accept children 2 years and under.

Check-in is at 4:00 pm and check-out is at 10:00 am. Early check-in or late check-out cannot usually be accommodated, so please plan accordingly.

Holmes Beach has a 7-night minimum stay requirement.
