Just about everything is fresh or nearly new. Also includes streaming television services including live TV and 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 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.

No smoking anywhere on the property. One dog allowed. There is an additional $150.00 (plus 12% tax) pet fee.

Because our home is located in a unique destination island we have a strict cancellation policy. We strongly advise you obtain traveler's insurance.

Spacious, open floor plan. Fully equipped kitchen. Nice screened porch that opens into the living room. Master bedroom with private bath and beachfront balcony. Don Pedro/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!

Great vacation spot
This condo was just perfect for a quiet, relaxing beach vacation. It was very nicely furnished, extremely comfortable and obviously well maintained. We loved the proximity to both the beach and the pool. All in all, we were delighted with everything about this wonderful place.

Fabulous Girl’s Weekend on Palm Island
Our beach vacation to Palm Island was unforgettable! The condo was gorgeous with stunning ocean views. We loved combing the beach for seashells and shark teeth, turning every walk into a treasure hunt. Playing in the sand and waves was a blast, and the sunsets were breathtaking. It was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation—can't wait to return!

Lovely Beach Vacation
Everything from the check in process to the check out process was done with ease. The vacation home was immaculate and had more than enough items for my family. The beach was so close and had multiple amazing views. This is our second time at Don Pablo Island and we will return in the future. Thank you for sharing your gone with us.

It was a wonderful stay. The house was clean and comfortable. We had everything w needed. I can’t say enough things about this special island. It was such a joy coming back to share it with my family. This is the best place for kids with the beach being so close. We even got to see the new turtle nests every morning. Looking forward to coming back again.

Excellent location!
The location is fantastic—right on the beach! You can watch the sunset from one of the two decks or easily walk to the beach. It's perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a relaxing oceanfront getaway. One of the best features for us was that the property is pet-friendly. We were able to bring our dog along, which made our vacation even more enjoyable. The house had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable, including a well-equipped kitchen, thoughtful amenities, and a spacious living area. The host was incredibly responsive and accommodating. She provided clear instructions for check-in and was available to answer any questions we had prior to our stay. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this beach house and we look forward to returning soon!

We spent an amazing week at this lovely property with our family. Many activities are available in addition to walking the almost solitary beach. An adjacent swimming, tennis/pickleball court, bikes, kayaks and a dock on the bay provided many alternative activities for our kids. We will definitely return!

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.
