• Lazy, breezy hammocks for total relaxation in the private area under house to relax and enjoy the lagoon view.
• Palm Island is a unique hidden gem located just North of Boca Grande. It offers all the modern conveniences, but allows a true escape from the hustle and bustle of mainland living.
• NO traffic, no traffic lights, no high rises, no crowds, just mother nature at her finest.

Because our home is located in a unique destination island we have a strict cancellation policy. We strongly advise you obtain traveler's insurance.

Huge deck under house that includes 2 hammocks, a porch swing, table and chairs that seats 6, 4 chaise lounges, plenty of beach chairs & 2 umbrellas, private outdoor shower, & faucets to hose off feet & shells. Loved it!

Wonderful house and location!!

Our vacation was wonderful. We stayed for a full week and everything went without any issues. We did see a pretty good size bee hive and notified the owner. She had someone out the following day! The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Looking forward to our next visit already!!

Beautiful Palm Island

Absolutely beautiful stay, You are on Island time for sure, great place to unwind from the hustle and bustle of life. Beach is across the street, you have many public access entrances, some are lined with sea shells. Sunsets are breathtaking. Bring bug spray for summer. :). Fisherman’s dream!

A wonderful and relaxing stay!

Changes In Attitude was the perfect place for our family to gather over. The wrap around screened porch was so beautiful and where we spent most of our time. Our days were spent going between the beach and the lagoon where we used the paddle boards and kayaks. Palm Island is truly a great escape. The hosts were so attentive and thoughtful. We would love to come back!

Nice spacious House on Island (only by ferry)

Very nice, spacious house with great facilities. The beach is only 1 minute away and is perfect for long walks. Only if you want to go on excursions you have to remember that you can only get off the island by ferry (2 minutes = $55).

week long get away

This property is perfect if you are looking to get away from the rat race and just relax in a beautiful location. Dock access to the channels to fish, swim, or paddle board you don't have to venture but feet from the beautiful relaxation on the deck which is located under the property as it is on stilts. The deck area has a bar, hot tub, hammocks, corn hole boards and bags. If you want to go to the beach it is a short wash across the road to swim, fish, hunt for shells, or watch the sunset.

Palm Island Beauty

This is a beautiful home on Palm Island. It is a wonderful set up for a family vacation. The location of home is right across from the beach. It was a bonus that you can rent a golf cart from the owner.

Peace and quiet

Just what we were looking for, very peacefull, very quiet, very private. House was clean and had everything we needed, even more. Downstairs was nice with a great breeze blowing through and fishing off the dock at night was great. Beach is a minute walk across the "street" and if you collect seashells bring a big bucket or stro g bag or a truck. They are litterally everywhere. Our best ones were 2 whole sand dollars and 2 large conch shells, you'll find what your looki g for if you look for it. Don't forget anything, or you'll do without or get on the ferry. Resort restaraunt is pricey but the food is awsome and worth it. We don't normally go to the same place twice when on vacation but we'll be rethinking that next time we go to Fl. Thank you Miss Diane for the use of your house, it was wonderful!!

Wonderful beach vacation

Changes in Attitudes is a lovely, clean home located on Don Pedro Island. This location is great because it is steps away from the beach, and since located on the intracoastal waterway, allowed us to paddle board, kayak, and swim in the backyard. Best of both worlds. We will be back!
