About this house rental
*NEWLY RENOVATED*
All new furniture, flooring, cabinets, countertops, and appliances!
This spacious island escape includes private boat docking (up to 28 ft boat) and is located just minutes from the Gulf of Mexico. This two-story home includes a large backyard as well as multiple screen enclosed porches for enjoying the tropical breezes. Wifi, outdoor shower, kayaks/paddle-boards, and a private heated pool & hot tub are included. Please note this bridgeless island is only accessible by ferry or private boat.
There is one restaurant/bar on the island, as well as a place to get ice cream. There is a very small store attached to the restaurant which has a small selection of essentials. Palm Island is for those looking for a break from the hustle and bustle of the mainland and everyday life.
Golf carts are the preferred method of transportation around the island. We have one available for use (this would normally cost you $100/day to rent from the resort!). Bike rentals are also available at the Palm Island Resort.
The ferry to get onto the island is called Palm Island Transit. Most people choose to drive their car onto the ferry, which is $55 per car per round trip. You would then drive on the island to the house and park in the driveway.

My wife and I have been playing on Palm Island for 20 years now and we coming back. This property is comfortable, low key, great location. This trip we brought our boat and left our truck on the mainland. Nice dock, pool was great. We will definitely rent again.
Best Regards

Traveled by Boat, dock was very accommodating. House was very clean as was the pool and deck area. Owner was very responsive and worked with us on a golf cart problem. I would definitely stay here again.

This home was absolute perfection. It has been beautifully done. The setting is absolutely serene, and we could not have asked for a better family vacation. Thanks!! Would love to come again.

Family loved fishing off the dock, afternoons and evening in the pool with attached spa, hands down the best pool at a rental (we have been renting on the island for more than 15 years.) Spent most evenings on the spacious screened porch. The included golf cart was not working but host quickly paid for a rental from the resort. We did have trouble with WiFi and tv sign in. Host did respond quickly to my texts and calls whenever we needed help.
Can’t wait to stay here again.

It's a very fun and quite place to stay. Spent a lot of our time in the pool, at the beach, fishing off dock. The house works very well for a family, it could use a few cooking utensils. Would defiantly go again.

We had a nice week and a relaxing stay.

Don Pedro is a wonderful, old Florida location. It’s separated from Florida’s hustle and bustle by a ferry that now is extremely reliable, making the mainland quite accessible. This property, while not the newest on the island, is well maintained and offers the combination boat dock, pool and 3 bedroom / 2 bath home. The home was also well cleaned as the pool / hot tub and all the miscellaneous items, like linens and towels, Refrig, stove, etc. The owner was also a pleasure to deal with, providing prompt responses to any questions and helpful local information. A golf cart was also included with our stay, adding easy access to the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Everything positive! Love south Florida, and love Don Pedro island. The pools was excellent, landscaping excellent that location was excellent. House clean, and the pictures what is a very good representation of what actually was .Golf cart was very nice.

Being an superhost myself, it's hard to make me uncomfortable. I understand short term rental is not easy. But...We were disappointed from the second we pulled up. The outside is covered in mold and needs pressure washing desperately. The front smart lock is on it's last leg and took us forever to get it to work. The home needs a deep cleaning badly. The furniture is flat, old, and covered in stains. The entertainment center COVERED in dust, along with the tile floor where the tv is completely covered in dust due to the floors and entertainment center not being cleaned, along with the faux plants and accessories. There are more scary locked bedrooms (with WINDOWS looking into the master) than there are available bedrooms. Hair inside the shower, my husband came out of the shower disgusted bc there was cockroaches in the shower. Hair on the bed. The fridge is broken, drawers cracked, and nothing stays cold so condensation EVERYWHERE and leaking onto everything. The laundry room isn't pictured in the listing bc it's under the house, in a room that smells of mold and NO LIGHTS. So you have to do your laundry during the day. The washer drains where you stand coming in and out of the laundry storage room and to park the golf cart so you walk in nasty water that just openly pours from the pipe. Broken washer machine abandoned just sitting there along with nasty broken kids tables just tossed and left. The hot tub doesn't work, the pool wasn't working ,the pool guy that came out unannounced informed us of this so your swimming in unfiltrated water. The host does not respond. I messaged her for 2 days and she would not respond. No welcome packet to help, even maint. asked for it. The pool light doesn't work so you can't swim at night bc it's pitch black. The walkway to the dock is so warped and sticking up everywhere. The AC broke the last night we were there and this was a message she finally responded too after days of nothing from her. This place could be so beautiful but is just not properly cared for. We considered leaving and staying in the resort down the street. If the host would properly clean, replace the old furniture, and make it what it can be then it would be worth the money. Her response to the condition was "she lives too far". This tells me she has no idea how bad it is, even seeing past guest leave the same review and no changes. She came off like she doesn't care and cant be bothered. So sad.

Let me start by saying we always book through VRBO and we LOVE Palm Island and for that our vacation was still really great however next time we will stay in a different house. We have been in a couple houses on the island and this one by far missed the mark. When we arrived there were workers present fixing the air conditioning and dry wall as the ceiling had recently caved in. I understand things happen, however it was not communicated to us by the owner, that workers would be present in the home when we arrived. On top of that we were told we would have no AC until Tuesday, it was Saturday. The owner of the home did have someone come out the next day to at least turn on the air but he told us to not be surprised if it went out again before Tuesday. Again the owner never disclosed the fact that workers would be in the house while we were there even for the Tuesday repair, we only found that information out from the AC company. We did eventually get AC in the house.
When we arrived the pool was also very low and needed to be filled (by us) and none of the lights in the pool or outside worked.
The house was not clean either. The floors and sheets had been washed and cleaned however the upstairs bedroom/bathroom smelled like cigarettes, the exhaust fans were caked with so much dust and dirt that they were black and when we opened the dishwasher there was a layer of dirt and food as well. The house is in desperate need of a deep clean.
I’m one to always read reviews and base our decision on the majority.
This house really does have a potential to be a great vacation home with some TLC it just sadly was not what we expected for our vacation and communication needs to improve as well.
On a positive note, Having the golf cart was a nice addition to the house to get around for the week and the dock was nice as well as well as we arrived to the island by boat!

This house lived up to all of the amenities listed and more. The pool is wonderful. The golf cart is a great extra. The kayak and paddle board worked great for exploring the canals. The beach is only a short golf cart ride away and never crowded. The house has two grills that are not included in the listing, but worked out perfectly. The wifi is super fast. The floors were clean which is hard to find in a beach property. Very relaxing retreat.

Paradise!
We loved our time in Palm Island. The house was wonderful. The pool/spa was such a great perk! Everyday at 4pm the spa would kick on and my kids loved it! Porch is divine. Screened in so we stayed out there most the time r joying the weather and watching the kids play in the pool/yard. Golf cart worked great - we’ve stayed at other homes on other islands where golf carts don’t hold power. If you have a small boat, the dock was such a plus. My husband went fishing everyday. Everyone is so friendly on the island. We saw a bobcat, many gopher turtles, ospreys, bunnies, manatees and dolphin. Would highly recommend the island and house!! Hope to back some day!
