Just beautiful! What a way to relax...
First impression was fantastic. Lovely, tasteful, and simple decor throughout with lots of blue and white. Nice 2nd floor deck off master bedroom for sunset views. Three tabels for family gaming and dining. One inside, one on screened portch and one beach level. Outside footshower and regular shower and park style grill. Six bottles of lighter fluid and 2 or 3 bags of left over charcol in gear locker. Buckets, shovels, some toys, several inflatables, pool noodles, beach umbrella and chairs as well. Kitchen has most utensils you would need. Salt and pepper and other spices already stocked. Bring extra TP. I think we turned on the TV once the entire week. Lots of walking and shell collecting. 2 adult boys loved finding shark teeth probably about 200+ during the week. Beautiful sunsets enjoyed by all as well as grilling out. Not much to see or do on the Island, the one restaurant was not good, bland food and the fish was not fresh. Not sure why you would need a golf cart except to go get ice cream or go down and jump off the bridge which seems to be a tradition. Overall one of the best and most relaxing vacations of my life in this wonderful beach condo. We saw squids, snakes, sting rays, gopher turtles and a boatload of crabs and shells. Everybody wants to come back. LOVED IT!!!!!😎�

Cruz del Sur - a week in paradise!
We had a wonderful and relaxing week staying at Cruz del Sur. The home was beautifully decorated with all of the amenities we needed. We enjoyed the beautiful sunsets each night and being so close to the beach. We have been coming to Palm Island for over 20 years. It was a treat this year to be able to bring our pup. Can't wait to come back next year!

Wonderful Property
If you are looking for a relaxing place to chill, this is the place for you. The condo was very clean and very well stocked for all of our needs. This place is first class! The beach is wonderful, one of the last places that are untouched by commercialization. The screened porch was a great place to have your coffee in the morning and see the pelicans, sand pipers, watch the beach carefully and you may see a large gopher turtle burrowing into the sand. We walked the beach every morning finding shells and enjoying the sunrise. We would recommend this condo and to our friends and family! We had a great time. Also, thank you to Diane for your assistance, you were great to work with! Again, thank you for everything!!

DIRECTLY on the GULF of MEXICO, recently remodeled townhouse. Located on the BEACH with dockage, tennis court and a fantastic gulf front pool! Fabulous, expansive gulf views. There is a screened porch on the main level, and an upstairs balcony off of the master bedroom. All of the appliances are new, as well as brand new furniture, a new gourmet kitchen with a roomy snack bar. Fully equipped and ready for your enjoyment. Other new or like-new items include, flat screen televisions, ceiling fans, furniture, bikes, linens and towels, kitchen equipment, glassware, plates, silverware, etc. The list goes on and on! Just about everything is fresh or nearly new. Also includes cable television, free long distance in the US and Canada and wireless internet access. Please inquire for more details and specifics about this great gulf front vacation rental.
No crowds here, just miles of unspoiled, 100% natural Florida (the way it used to be!). World renowned shelling, fantastic sunsets, bird watching galore, kayaking, dolphins, gopher tortoise, and a lively lagoon where fish jump all day long. 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 rental is available which is almost new and in excellent condition.
Bring your boat or rent one for the ultimate in Florida lifestyle. Our community dock will accommodate a boat up to 20 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 (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.
Sleeps six comfortably. No smoking. Pets allowed with owner's permission, additional pet deposit and fee per pet applies. Spacious, open floor plan. Fully equipped kitchen. Nice screened porch that opens into the living room. Master bedroom with private bath and beachfront balcony. 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!
