About this property

Luxury TOWNHOUSE directly ON GULF/OCEAN - Sunset view, Pool, Tennis, Wifi, Pets!

LUXURY TOWNHOUSE - renovated from top to bottom with granite countertops throughout!
* Free use of all the amenities on the Association property!
* It is only a 5 minute roundtrip on the water on the ferry/barge(you stay in your car). Do not let the ferry deter you from staying, as staying directly on the ocean (you literally fall asleep to the sounds of the ocean) on the mainland would be much more expensive... a pass is only required to get your car on the island - getting off is free - no reservations required and you buy a pass at the ferry before boarding with your car or even as a "walk on" - go onto www.palmislandtransit.com website for ferry info - you can buy a booklet of passes if you plan to go off often!
* It is aLUXURY END townhouse so it has more privacy and feels more like a house - it has 3 levels/decks, all directly on the ocean with clear ocean views (you can see Boca Grande), and has an indoor outdoor feel with big new sliding glass doors that slide completely open so that you feel that you are outside!
* Both bedrooms are on the top level, both bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms and both sets of bedrooms are completely separated from each other by another door, if you so choose, for complete privacy from one another :)
* Stainless Steel appliances in kitchen with filtered water in/from the fridge door.
* Enjoy filtered sunlight through palm trees whilst drinking your morning coffee on the private porch overlooking the ocean and/or relaxing eating your breakfast and lunch!
* Enjoy your own sunset drinks and then dinner on the same private porch in the evenings!
* Swimming pool (heated in winter) and also directly on the Gulf/ocean is only steps away, but not right next door, so that you are not disturbed by any pool noise.
* Tennis Court - 4 Tennis rackets provided for use(tennis court is across from the pool that is available to our guests to use).
* Cell phone service throughout the property and island.
* Cable/internet/TV and wifi are included and are throughout the townhouse/property.
* Brand new washer and dryer and dishwasher in the kitchen area for your private use.
* Almost private beach - no fees - you can see the dolphins from the porch.
* Complimentary car park right next to the townhouse, but golf carts used mainly as transport on the island.
* Dogs are allowed on the island beach on a leash - please inform owner if you wish to bring a dog, as there is a pet fee.
* Brand NEW tile throughout downstairs and brand new carpets upstairs - professionally sealed and cleaned - no mold, no smells and no sand.
* Brand new extra large 65 inch HD flat screen SMART TV (for Netflix etc.) in family room.
* 2 new SMART HDTVs in bedrooms.
* 3 private decks (one screened porch off family room and another off the Master bedroom and then the lower deck has a faucet for your feet or a complete shower etc for when you come off the beach).
* Sliding glass door off family room slides away completely so an open indoor/outdoor experience for your stay overlooking the ocean - watch dolphins swim by and pelicans dive for fish.
* Use of our Dock which is a 3 min walk from townhouse for use for 20 ft boat or for fishing.
* 2 new extra comfortable King size beds.
* 2 fully renovated private ensuite bathrooms upstairs and a fully renovated guest bathroom downstairs - altogether 3 toilets and 3 showers(all with hot and cold water).
* 2 modern new comfy family room sofas and a large dining table with 6 dining chairs.
* 4 new large stainless steel appliances, including a self-cleaning oven.
* New commercial size washer and dryer inside for your private use.
* Water filter in the side-by-side refrigerator door(although the water comes from the mainland company called Bocilla Utilities, which passes federal/state tests).
* Ice maker in the side-by-side refrigerator door.
* Both central heating and central air-conditioning throughout the townhouse.
* Coffee machine, coffee bean grinder, French Press, electric kettle, toaster, blender etc. plus high quality pots, pans, plates, dishes, glassware, cutlery, knives, garlic press etc.
* All linens and bath/hand towels, coat hangers and beach chairs are provided.
* Large Weber Kettle outdoor charcoal grill on ocean side - please throw out ash after use :)
* Outside shower (it is the third shower with both hot and cold water - the other 2 are inside) with a view of the ocean, both for yourself and your pets (has an extendable hand-held section)!
* Beautiful Gulf sunsets...and yes, we have seen the elusive green flash on the horizon!
* Brand new EMS/fire-engine/station staffed 24/7 on island - call 911 for help in an emergency.
* Beach is well known for it's wide variety of shells!
* we have outdoor camera - please walk pets off the property to do their business :)
* It is a Non- smoking property, which includes no smoking on outdoor porches.
* You can buy both car and walk-on ferry passes through the island ferry company!

There is one casual restaurant in the Resort and an ice cream/deli/coffee shop, as well as a cute gift store. There are no large high-rise buildings nor beach bars/loud music on the island (...but it is all available only a short car ferry ride away on the mainland!). Just the sounds of the ocean to lull you to sleep...you could call it nature's paradise! The area is also known for it's great shell collecting and fishing! Observe dolphins swimming by, manatees, pelicans diving into the ocean, turtles, turtle nests and baby turtles during the Summer season, many types of birds, gopher tortoises, even crocodiles in the intercostal waterway and bays....nature on your doorstep - an amazing experience that you will treasure forever! Golf carts are the preferred relaxing choice for exploring the island - you have to experience it for yourself!

Off island, there are 3 well-stocked Publix grocery stores, both locally-owned and chain restaurants, shops, golf courses, Boca Grande Island nearby, as well as the beautiful, modern Sarasota Mall. Cayo Costa Island and Cabbage Key (where Jimmy Buffet got his inspiration to write "Cheeseburger in Paradise") are only a boat ride away!
There is a short 4 min car barge style ferry ride(it is free to drive off) to get your car across from the mainland, so that you can drive your car right to our property - with self check in!

The area is served by four airports: Punta Gorda Airport, Sarasota Bradenton International Airport, Ft. Myers Airport and Tampa International Airport.

Second time
This is our second time staying here. Usually, we don't go twice to the same place but this time we were looking to rest and enjoy in a place we already know nothing can go wrong. Right in front to the ocean, confortable, clean... and pet friendly so we didn't leave any member of the family behind! We also rented a golf cart (recommended) to drive around and enjoy the island as well. Very enjoyable stay!

Phenomenal direct Gulf views accompany this immaculate and nicely appointed townhome. This our second time back to this property and we'll definitely be returning next year. Superbly managed and easy to access. It doesn't get any better than this. Thanks to the owner for allowing us to visit this special property.

A week in paradise!
The townhouse was beautifully decorated and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare all meals. The view is awesome! It was so nice to sit on the lanai and relax, yet still feel like you were on the beach! Suzanne was a text away, however, we never needed to contact her, as everything was clearly communicated prior to our arrival. We would definitely stay here again!

Another Amazing Week At The Beach
We stayed at this beautifully remodeled condo in 2022 and immediately rebooked for this year. The location is perfect. We actually got married at Palm Island Resort at the north end of the island in 2015 but prefer to stay in Colony Don Pedro when we visit. This is our favorite unit we have stayed in especially since we’re able to bring our pup with us. My 5 year old and dog both enjoyed playing on the beach and in the surf. The pool is also a favorite. We enjoy coming back yearly to our little island in the sun and look forward to next year.

Beautiful Beach Home...
This beach house was so beautiful. We really enjoyed our stay on Palm Island. We always love coming to the island every year with our family to get a break from our busy life back in Ohio. Would definitely recommend this beach house.

Great views, seemed like our private beach. Dog friendly. Need a car ferry (very short) to get here so consider that in your costs/budget/planning. If you have “experienced” knees or body parts there are stairs to consider. Great week, thanks, will add this to our collection of places that we would like to return to.

Ocean waves
What a lovely beach condo. It was just steps to the beach and the ocean was right there. There's not much to do on the island...which is exactly what we were looking for!! This is a true beach house so being outdoors enjoying the ocean, shelling, walking the beach and relaxing in the sun was perfect. The house has a well equipped kitchen for cooking and a weber charcoal grill. Everything is clean, well maintained and Susanne was in contact several times to make sure or trip was going well. We hope to return next year:)

Best Beach Bungalow
I think it best sums up our stay to say that when my husband entered the space, all I heard was, "Oh my God!" like three times before I even got inside! Beautiful from outside in and onto the beach only feet away! The space was so clean and welcoming, and the directions from Susanne were complete and comprehensive. The space is laid out perfectly with the ocean view at the forefront and doors that open the space to it worked beautifully. It rained our first day, but we didn't even care, because the view is so lovely and listening to the ocean is grand. The second floor was just as clean and tidy, and since there were only two of us, we just used one of the two bedroom and bathrooms available. They were both lovely, and our bedroom faced the ocean with a gorgeous balcony to welcome the morning sun every morning. As a New Yorker, sun is a rare commodity, so that was a beautiful thing to be able to do first thing out of bed. The beach is absolutely gorgeous, and we were sad to have to leave. We had such a marvelous time, and we hope to do it again next year. Pro tip - bring enough food for the stay unless you want to rent a golf cart to go off island, or pay again for a full size car. The "convenient store" is hardly either, but that isn't for this review. Susanne was very communicative, and lovely. Everything was fully explained and she checked in on us throughout our stay (one week). Really a marvelous place to stay!

Great place and location
Spent a week at this unit. Had a great time. Unit was as described and very nicely furnished, decorated and supplied with most anything you would need/want. Great view of gulf from living area and main level porch. Bedrooms and bathrooms were very nicely furnished and decorated and comfortable. Owner was very open to questions and provided quick responses. She would checkin throughout stay to see if we needed anything or had questions. She also provided very clear instructions for arrival and departure. It was a great week. Hopefully we will have an opportunity to visit again.

Don Pedro Perfection
This VRBO experience was perfect from beginning to end. Check-in was a breeze and we found the townhome to be extremely clean and well appointed. This townhome is crisp, clean, and feels brand new. Our host, Susanne texted us to make sure we were happy and that all our needs were met making sure we felt comfortable immediately after our arrival. The view was as advertised - stunning direct Gulf views. We saw Manatees and dolphin from the screened lanai and the sunsets were well amazing. We loved the outdoor shower for cleaning up after the beach and the pool next door was a delight and never crowded. The 2 king size beds were super comfortable and each bedroom had it's own bathroom and tv. The family room had a large flatscreen tv that was perfect for downtime or rainy days. We enjoyed boating, shelling, swimming, and lots of beach time during our stay making it the perfect family vacation. If you're looking to connect with nature, avoid the crowds, and enjoy a peaceful beachy paradise - this is the condo and spot for you!

Spectacular Place
This is really a fantastic place to stay. It was very clean, and has a great layout and has been very nicely maintained and updated. The location is perfect-- quiet beach. Lots of times we were the only people within 400 yards on the beach. Lovely pool right on the beach too. Host is very responsive. We rented a golf cart from Coconuts and that was a lot of fun too. Don't be put off by the car ferry-- it was fast and easy, similar to a drawbridge, and there's a Publix and a Walmart within about 10min drive. We had a great week. Would definitely rent again.

Lovely and Relaxing
I would love to be able to keep this lovely find to myself, but that would not be fair to Susanne, who has worked so hard to make her lovely home so comfortable and welcoming! We had a wonderful stay at her townhome: so very clean, comfortable and right on the beach- Photos do not do this place justice. We were looking for a 'Get away" from the chaos of Atlanta and we found it! This island may not be for everyone, but it was perfect for us. Very quiet - no noise, few people, few cars (mostly golf carts - which is encouraged!) LOTS of stars to be seen at night! Proximity to the beach was perfect and easy for my 82 year old mother to navigate. We all loved the amenities provided by the owner (paddleboard, kayak, pool) We sat, drank, talked, read books on the breezy porch and enjoyed all the sun, sand, waves, and shark teeth (which proved to be an obsession for our 12 year old son!). We were lucky to see the dolphins swim by each night and even got to see a HUGE manta ray fishing off the sand bar. Susanne was more than accommodating, going out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and had what we needed (her recommendations were outstanding!). Townhome was well supplied with all the items necessary for us to have a stress free and relaxing stay! We truly loved our stay and hope to make it back another time!

About the host

Hosted by Susanne Hillier

Host profile image
We travelled to Don Pedro Island with our four daughters by car from Ohio for Spring Break, first in 2001 and then returned as renters many times for many years! We found Don Pedro Island very relaxing for us all with our hectic city lifestyles of both school and work! Besides the gifts that the beach, ocean and nature has to offer, we like ending our day watching the sun set over the ocean (yes, we have even seen that lime "Green Flash"!) and then eating dinner on the screened in porch or on the upper or lower deck under the thousands of stars that you can see at night, as you are far away from the city lights!

Why they chose this property

It is the best location, falling asleep to the sound of the waves, showering outside if you want to and luxury finishes inside!

What makes this property unique

Away from crowded beaches and right on the ocean for easy accessibility!!
