We enjoyed our stay on Don Pedro. Gil was great at communicating through email with trip details. We didn' t get to use kayak this trip, maybe next one. Place is just like pictures, quiet surroundings & very relaxing stay. If you love beach, pool & relaxing, this is place for you. Thanks to Gil & Lori!💐

Great Stay
Really enjoyed Don Pedro Island. A very low crowd peaceful beach; the beach was gorgeous! I definitely want to come back. Oh, and loved the Jenga game! We got a lot of walking in which was great; we didn't feel the need to get a golf cart. - walked to the Rum Bay restaurant - great food! Neighbors were great and very friendly!

We had a great stay as always. A couple glitches to work through but Gil (the owner) was quick to respond and take care of the issues.

Palm Island Heaven
This is the 2nd time we’ve vacationed on Palm Island. The first time we stayed at the resort. This trip we were lucky enough to stay for a week at Gil and Lori’s place. It was nothing short of wonderful. The house has all the amenities you will need including a fully stocked kitchen, laundry facilities, outdoor shower and everything & anything you need for a day on the beach (which is a short walk across the street). We loved looking for shark teeth and sand dollars. The sunsets are incredible. The front of the unit faces the bay where we kayaked and saw a manatee and her baby. There is a very nice pool that hardly anyone uses. The neighbors are very friendly and gave us suggestions for restaurants off the island if you decide to leave for a day. If you’re looking for a relaxing vacation do not hesitate. We loved it!!

About the host

Hosted by Gil and Lori Green

Host profile image
Lori and Gil Green have owned this property as a second home since 1991, and have continually updated the cozy unit. They have owned Gulfcoast Ultrasound Institute in St. Petersburg since 1985, presenting continuing education seminars to physicians, sonographers, and medical professionals.

Why they chose this property

Lori and Gil Green have owned this property as a second home from their busy professional life up the coast in St. Pete Beach. Over the years this small complex of eight unit owners has become a convenient and tranquil place on the island for all the owners and guests alike. We drive off the ferry, unload the SUV, and enjoy our time either in the Gulf just across the street, in the freshwater pool, or in our boat from the boat slips 30' from our porch. It's really the best of all worlds on this special island. We have all the comforts of home that a small group or family would need.

What makes this property unique

Barrier island accessible only by private boat or ferry limits vehicle traffic on the island. Golf carts and bikes are the normal mode of high-speed transportation out here. If you're looking for Miami Beach, it's not here.
