The fishing is world class!
Soak up the sun on our bath-like waters of the Gulf of Mexico, explore by kayak or stand up paddle board. We provide both free of charge.
Because our home is located in an unusual destination type ISLAND, we have a strict cancellation policy. Most travelers need to plan ahead for this type of vacation so it is difficult to re-rent the house on short notice. We strongly advise you to obtain TRAVELER'S INSURANCE.
Bring your boat or rent one for the ultimate in Florida lifestyle. Our community dock will accommodate a boat up to 22 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.
Don Pedro Island (aka 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 terrific 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.
No smoking. Pets allowed with owner's permission and additional $150.00 pet deposit. A one pet limit 50 LBS dogs only no cats
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 beachfront condo, quiet and beautiful
Our second time with this property owner. As before the location, house, and communication was outstanding. Had a great time. It is a bit more remote location due to the ferry ride to the island, but this makes for a quiet and private atmosphere. We will be back again!

Fantastic Stay with a Wonderful Host!
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Diane’s property for 3 days and 3 nights. The house was immaculate and well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect, offering stunning views and easy access to the beach. Diane, our host, was incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. Her hospitality truly made our stay special. We highly recommend this property and look forward to returning in the future!

Dolphin Beach
Dolphin Beach is absolutely beautiful and just steps away from the beach. This property came with everything you might need both inside and to enjoy yourself outside. The owner Diane was very nice, informative, and responsive to any questions. My only regret about this property is not renting it longer. We will definitely be back :)

Love Don Pedro!
We love coming down to stay at Don Pedro and have had great luck when booking through Diane Reed and her places. Two of our 4 stays have been through her and we plan to go through them in the future. Great to work with, she stayed in contact and messaged me timely, and the house was amazing! Go check them out!
