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. You’ll want to capture the Island’s charm by traveling via golf cart, we rarely use cars here. Golf cart rental is available for rent ask about rates.

Bring your boat or rent one for the ultimate in Florida lifestyle. Our community dock will accommodate a boat up to 20 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.

Palm Island is a barrier island and a stones throw from the mainland. You’ll arrive via a short car ferry ride that takes about three minutes. Our island has a resort that offers a casual restaurant, ice cream/deli shop, sundries store and a pirate show for the kids. 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.

Maximum capacity is 6 guests, including children - No Exceptions.

You won’t want to leave
Fair warning this vacation home and location will have you wanting to sell everything you own to stay here forever. Truly such a peaceful vacation to slow down and reconnect with your family away from it all. Endless hours on the beach just steps from the back porch. The pool is very close to the unit as well, and was perfect on the day the surf was too rough due to storms. Many hours spent on the screened porch eating every meal and family game nights. The amenities were perfect for our family! The unit was extremely clean. Kitchen well stocked with everything you could possibly need to cook. We planned well and grocery shopped for the week prior to crossing on the ferry and never left till it was time to check out. Get the golf cart! Well worth it to cruise the island. We headed down to coconuts for ice cream a few times, down to a different beach for shark teeth, and just loved cruising around looking at all the beach houses. If you are truly looking to get away from it all THIS is your spot! We will be back !

Another wonderful stay in Palm Island!
It was our third time to the island and we absolutely loved this property! We stayed over a long weekend to celebrate my husband’s birthday with our 3 and 5 year old (and, our pup!). The owners were very responsive, accommodating and accessible during our stay. The property was amazingly clean and had everything you could think of for an enjoyable experience. We enjoyed walking right out to the beach and even had the pool all to ourselves a few times! The sunsets from the top balcony were stunning and this mommy enjoyed sitting on the balcony for some peace and quiet after our little boys went to bed (in the dark of course because it was hurtle nesting season - no complaints though as I was able to see a few shooting stars while listening to the waves!). Our little guys enjoyed fishing off the dock across the street and loved taking golf cart rides around the island. The only downside of this property is that we didn’t find it easily accessible for a boat rental - we didn’t realize until after we booked that there would be two bridges with low clearance. The owners provided all the information we needed but we didn’t try as my husband decided he didn’t want to risk it. It all worked out as my husband fished with a local guide and caught 7 Tarpon! I can’t say enough about this property - it’s a true gem and we will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Kate Reed

Host profile image
We live in New Jersey and have been traveling to the Gulf Coast beaches for our recreation and vacations for over 24 years. The boating is fantastic and our time with our family has created a bunch of fond memories for us. Most Florida beaches are overbuilt and congested – it's hard to find a beach with so few people and so underdeveloped. Quite refreshing to say the least. We chose Don Pedro Island (Palm Island) for the natural beauty and 'Old Florida' feel. This chain of islands just may be the last true Florida beach you can walk down (7 miles long) and hardly see another person. We also liked that there are no beach bars and no high-rise buildings. It is the best of Old Florida, natural, unspoiled and a genuine paradise.

Why they chose this property

We decided to purchase a home here for the unspoiled beauty of the island and the area in general. Englewood is a low-key Old Florida 'beach town' that reminds you of how Florida looked many years ago, without the huge high-rise condominiums and massive hotels clogging the beach. There are plenty of local 'home-grown' shops and restaurants and the fishing is some of the best in world. The beaches are fantastic and the boating is world-class. If you are looking for a great family area that is close to everything, but far away from the congestion, traffic and noise, you'd be hard pressed to find a better place. The only way to get on and off the island is by a 3 minute car ferry ride. Having no bridge to the island allows for a semi-private atmosphere and keeps beach going traffic to an absolute minimum. The island is all residential other than the resort area at the north end of Palm Island which offers a quality restaurant, deli and ice cream shoppe and small convenience store. Most all of the island traffic is by golf cart.

What makes this property unique

Staying on the island is not for everyone. If you like lots of places to shop, tourist attractions, beach bars and chain restaurants, this isn't the place for you. On the other hand, if you are looking for uncrowded and unspoiled beaches, great kayaking, fishing and dipping your toes in the Gulf of Mexico, this may be just the place. It's for a couple or family that wants some serious down-time ... a place to unplug and recharge your batteries and enjoy some great family time. Our house is pet-friendly with laminate floors and carpet upstairs, with two Gulf Front porches along with a smaller deck downstairs. You'll also enjoy the community pool and tennis courts if you're so inclined. We are also the end unit with some great views of the pool area and added privacy. The beach is right out your door and literally steps to the Gulf of Mexico! It's a truly amazing place.
