Also includes Xfinity cable and free wireless internet access. Please inquire for more details and specifics about this great gulf front vacation rental.

No crowds here, just miles of unspoiled, 100% natural Florida (the way it used to be!). World renowned shelling, fantastic sunsets, bird watching galore, kayaking, dolphins, gopher tortoise, and a lively lagoon where fish jump all day long.

Bring your boat or rent one for the ultimate in Florida lifestyle. Our community dock will accommodate a boat up to 22 feet. Like to fish? Fish right off the dock or try your luck surf fishing or book a charter with one of the local guides for a thrilling day of sport fishing or backwater challenges. Trout, Redfish, Snook, Tarpon and Grouper are just a few of the many species that call our waters home.

Don Pedro Island (aka Palm Island) is a barrier island 7 miles lone and a stones throw from the mainland. You’ll arrive via a short car ferry ride that takes about three minutes. Palm Island transit has a website, check out rates and information. Our island has a resort that offers a casual restaurant, ice cream/deli shop, sundries store. The island is almost all single family homes so you’ll quickly find it has a pristine 'non-commercial' family feel. There are no large high-rise resorts, beach bars or traffic and noise. If you’re looking for that place in the sun that you can actually hear the wind whistle through the palms - you’ve found your place.

Off island you’ll be close to restaurants, shops, golf courses and world famous Boca Grande as well as other attractions. As we like to say... civilization is close but not too close. Boca Grande offers exclusive shopping, dining and sightseeing. By boat you can reach Cayo Costa Island State Park and Cabbage Key where Jimmy Buffet was inspired to write 'Cheeseburger In Paradise.' Do it all, or do nothing at all, that’s the “island” lifestyle. It’s laid back, always casual (leave your tie at home) and Florida at its best.

No smoking. Pets allowed with owner's permission and additional pet fee. A one pet 50 lb limit.

Palm Island is an experience like no other. Come to our island and see why so many have fallen in love with this little 'slice' of paradise!

Because our home is located in an unusual destination type island, we have a STRICT cancellation policy. Most travelers need to plan ahead for this unique type of island vacation, so it is difficult to re-rent the house on short notices. Because of this we strongly advise you to obtain Traveler's Insurance.
