Don Pedro State park is a short walk down the beach. You’ll want to capture the Island’s charm by traveling via golf cart, we rarely use cars here. Golf cart is available for rent, ask about rates. This is optional and additional. It is highly recommended that you reserve the golf cart at the time of booking to ensure availability and rate.

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.

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 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! Bonus in May-Oct, turtle nesting season is active on your island!!

This unit is very nice and well kept. The beds and bedding are very comfortable, kitchen and bathrooms are nice and clean, and well stocked with all necessities. This is one of few vacation rentals that actually has all the extras listed, and in good shape-beach chairs, paddle board etc, all kept in a nice shed on the ground floor so everything is in good condition. The golf cart rental was a great addition to our stay. Diane is very thorough with all her instructions and prompt with communication. The island is private, secluded, and quiet and that’s one of the reasons we love it, and the view from the porch and balcony are just stunning. It is also so great to have the pool right there and it is also well kept and clean. We definitely plan to return and appreciate Diane’s well hosted property!

Amazing location, beautiful unit, wonderful host! We keep returning to this tropical paradise. Diane is a great host, very responsive and her units are beautiful. Being steps away from both the ocean and the pool is the best way to vacation. The beach is pristine and the water is like crystal. We can't wait to come back.

Everything was perfect. Beach was amazing. No one was around. Very quiet and private. Dianne was very attentive. The property was clean and well appointed. All the extra stuff was so nice to have on hand. Pool was so nice. No one was there either. Hands down best vacation ever. The island is amazing. We never unpacked our clothes, we stayed in bathing suits 95% of the time!

Everything you need right there, get groceries before you get there and there’s no reason to leave the island.

This was our first trip to Palm Island and the beach and accommodations at Dolphin Beach exceeded our expectations. The close proximity to the pool was also a hit with our grandkids. The beach was quiet, the Gulf was crystal clear and calm -- just perfect. We also loved using the kayak that was provided. Thank you, Diane, for a wonderful vacation!

It was a short stay but a much needed getaway. Enjoyed the peace and quiet, the beach, the shark teeth, the golf cart adventures around the island. Will definitely do it again!
