The property was beautiful we loved having access to the dock area for boating and fishing. The beach access (we did rent a golf cart) was perfect and easy to access. Unfortunatle, my sister became gravely ill during our stay, and I am glad to say that the responce from the island Fire and EMS was exceptional. Also, local neighbors were aware and alerted the condo owners when an ambulence arrived. Gil was also very helpful and understanding in our situation.

We enjoyed our stay on Don Pedro. Gil was great at communicating through email with trip details. We didn' t get to use kayak this trip, maybe next one. Place is just like pictures, quiet surroundings & very relaxing stay. If you love beach, pool & relaxing, this is place for you. Thanks to Gil & Lori!💐

Really enjoyed Don Pedro Island. A very low crowd peaceful beach; the beach was gorgeous! I definitely want to come back. Oh, and loved the Jenga game! We got a lot of walking in which was great; we didn't feel the need to get a golf cart. - walked to the Rum Bay restaurant - great food! Neighbors were great and very friendly!

Palm Island Heaven

This is the 2nd time we’ve vacationed on Palm Island. The first time we stayed at the resort. This trip we were lucky enough to stay for a week at Gil and Lori’s place. It was nothing short of wonderful. The house has all the amenities you will need including a fully stocked kitchen, laundry facilities, outdoor shower and everything & anything you need for a day on the beach (which is a short walk across the street). We loved looking for shark teeth and sand dollars. The sunsets are incredible. The front of the unit faces the bay where we kayaked and saw a manatee and her baby. There is a very nice pool that hardly anyone uses. The neighbors are very friendly and gave us suggestions for restaurants off the island if you decide to leave for a day. If you’re looking for a relaxing vacation do not hesitate. We loved it!!

This property is a hidden gem. Tucked away in the trees sitting on a canal. Loved sitting on the screened porch watching the fish jump. Beautifully decorated for the perfect beach rental. Beautiful pool, short walk to the beach. Everything you could want right at your fingertips. Would definitely stay there again. Owners were quick to respond to my questions.

Perfect island oasis

Perfect island oasis

Wanna get away? This little condo on Dan Pedro/little Palm Island is perfect! This beautiful island hideaway allows you to rest or be active. Everything you would need is provided. Kayak, bikes, fishing poles, beach chairs, umbrellas, rocking chairs, hammocks, games, grills, and a boat dock! The home is well appointed in the kitchen and with comfortable beds, a great sound system and wifi for those who still need civilization. The beach is a a short walk across the street and pool was convenient out the door. We loved the outdoor shower for after beach excursions! Our family loved this pet friendly oasis and the full time resident next door neighbors are exceptionally kind and helpful. You won't want to go home.

GREAT family home on the island!

We've experienced quite a few places on Don Pedro, vacationing there since 2002, and Island House is very comfortable for a family of four, plus thanks for accommodating the dog! The extra amenities (beach chairs, umbrellas and bikes) are well maintained and the detailed instruction on using the property very much appreciated.

This island is a little slice of heaven! Such a perfect spot for a relaxing week with family and friends! The location is perfectly located just across the beach from the public beach.

Clean, comfortable, on canal, conviently located near beach & intercoastal waterway.

So much better than staying at a hotel! Loved being able to go outside, enjoy the deck, beach and pool. Saw manatees & dolphins on each trip out into the ICW. Beds were comfortable. Hose at dock made boat clean up easy. Quiet, a true getaway! Next time, we will plan better & fish or bring seafood, so we can really do it up right. Ferry ride over was quick & easy.

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely unit.

We found the unit very well decorated, with a very nice kitchen. We also liked the fact that there was a half bath for the master bedroom, loved the sliders that opened all the way to the deck looking over the inner coastal. The deck below was a fun place to hang out as well and LORI and Gil provide bikes, kayaks, beach chairs and laundry facilities. We loved the pool area and swam almost every day. Our only suggestion would be that the association improve the stairways and decking leading to the units. Overall we had a wonderful stay and would gladly return!

We enjoyed being surrounded by peacefulness. Enjoyed walking on the beach every morning looking for shells and teeth. Riding the bikes all over the island. Kayaking off the back of the property. It was too windy during daytime to spend sitting on the beach instead we sat next to the pool and enjoyed the sun. This is a great place to be away from crowded beaches and to have quality family time!

Great Island Getaway

Great Island Getaway

This is a unique little island with quaint Florida charm. The condo was perfect for the two of us, but could easily accommodate 4. Updated kitchen and bathrooms, with a nice outdoor shower as well. Walk to the beach, or canal from this unit and be sure to take a ride down to Rum Bay restaurant for great service, food, and drink specials.

Great place!

Great place!

It is exactly as described and possibly the best location on the island, within walking distance of the Ferry, on the intercostal, and a quick walk to the beach with access just down 50 yards. The condo is extremely clean and comfortable, tons of beach gear including a cart in the shed below and great neighbors with a great pool for the kids. To top it off the best Charter Captain on the Island, Captain Jeff is right next door and he and his wife are full of helpful tips for everything on the island along the way. We will stay here again and are all sad to leave. There's nothing in Florida like the beach on Palm Island, its like the land that time forgot, very few people, shells and sharks teeth everywhere and fishing off the shore is a blast.

Don Pedro Escape

Don Pedro Escape

Gil, my friend and I enjoyed your wonderful condo. I particularly loved the screen porch with surrounding trees, felt like I was in the woods yet steps from the beach. The deck under the screen porch leading to the canal - awesome , another favorite spot to sit and read or cook dinner on the grill. Neighbors very nice and friendly. The pool and beach are wonderful , unfortunely we hit a day of redtide and the last three days had a riptide , so swimming in the Gulf was to a minimum. Which was merely an act of nature , out of everyone's control. these high winds put a damper on going out on a boat , again can't help that. Loved renting a golf cart for a few days and riding the bike, disappointed we could only use one of the bikes as the other two had low tires, you did have a pump available - which we tried - perhaps they had a leak. Also liked the 1/2 bath / full set up with the pocket door :) Lovely place to relax and get away from everything. Joan Fitzgerald Portsmouth RI

Gorgeous, serene and relaxing

We enjoyed our recent stay on Don Pedro Island, the accommodations were perfect. The top two factors were the gorgeous beach just a minute walk down/across the road, and the fabulous pool. We loved having canal access, as we were able to be picked up by grandpa and grandma in their boat. Loved it! Highly recommend if you're able to relax and chill.
