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.

Don Pedro Island (aka Palm Island) is a barrier island 7 miles lone and a stones throw from the mainland. You’ll arrive via a short car ferry ride that takes about three minutes. Palm Island transit has a website, check out rates and information. Our island has a resort that offers a casual restaurant, ice cream/deli shop, sundries store. 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 pet fee. A one pet 50 lb limit.

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!

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 unique type of island vacation, so it is difficult to re-rent the house on short notices. Because of this we strongly advise you to obtain Traveler's Insurance.

    Most beautiful beach. Loved the peace and quiet. Several points should be addressed. Fan on porch would only work with light on. Screen door on porch does not work properly. Oven not up to our standards. Beds and pillows nice. Not enough towels for bathing. We use our own beach towels. Just suggestions.........

    Single parent with six kids in tow. All teenagers in high school. Took two days to unplugged before school started back. The property was clean and comfortable. The owner communicated every day. She was extremely flexible given we had hurricane Debby pass by on the days we were supposed to go and we were able to postpone. It is just a few steps from the beach. I could watch everyone from the house, whether it be in the ocean or the pool. Great trip! Can’t wait to go again!

    First time to Don Pedro Island. It is everything people say it is. License to Chill is a fantastic place to stay. Clean, well maintained, and exactly as described by the pictures and narrative in the listing. Our host was very reachable and attentive to all our questions. We will definitely go back.

    A very clean unpretentious beach house, Diane is a great property manager. This island sandy roads are fun to drive around in a golf cart, please get care free beachwear, a hat and a good pony tail if you fancy long hair. A ferry takes you there in your car, golf cart... Arrive early morning to avoid long wait. Bring all groceries on your way into the island, there is a scarcely supplied convenience store in the resort. The Palm Island/Don Pedro Island provides charmingly the experience of old Florida with the modern conveniences of electricity and AC. The beach is beautiful and the sunsets are amazing.
