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).

We loved Changes in Attitude!

We were looking for a low key beach vacation with a bit of adventure and we found just that! We are so glad we discovered Palm Island, and Changes in Attitude was the perfect place for us - family of four (kids are 3 & 6) + mother-in-law! We loved being on the lagoon with the boat dock, and just steps across the street from the beach. The best feature is the under house hang out that our kids absolutely loved - the pictures don’t do it justice!! The outdoor shower was nice for cleaning off after a day at the beach, and the beach chairs, beach towels & kayaks / SUP were a huge bonus. We enjoyed daily golf cart rides to Coconut’s for ice cream, and rented a pontoon from Abe’s Boat Rental (on the mainland) to explore beaches & sand bars on the intercostal waterway. Diane was very helpful in providing lots of information ahead of time so we could plan our trip. We’d love to stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Diane Reed, owner

We live in New Jersey and have been traveling to the Gulf Coast beaches for our recreation and vacations for over 22 years. The boating is fantastic and our time with our family has created a bunch of fond memories for us. Most Florida beaches are overbuilt and congested – it's hard to find a beach with so few people and so underdeveloped. Quite refreshing to say the least. We chose Don Pedro Island (Palm Island) for the natural beauty and 'Old Florida' feel. This chain of islands just may be the last true Florida beach you can walk down (7 miles long) and hardly see another person. We also liked that there are no beach bars and no high-rise buildings. It is the best of Old Florida, natural, unspoiled and a genuine paradise.

Why they chose this property

We decided to purchase a home here for the unspoiled beauty of the island and the area in general. Englewood is a low-key Old Florida 'beach town' that reminds you of how Florida looked many years ago, without the huge high-rise condominiums and massive hotels clogging the beach and blocking your views. There are plenty of local 'home-grown' shops and restaurants and the fishing is some of the best in world. The beaches are fantastic and the boating is world-class. If you are looking for a great family area that is close to everything, but far away from the congestion, traffic and noise, you'd be hard pressed to find a better place. The only way to get on and off the island is by a 3 minute car ferry ride. Having no bridge to the island allows for a semi-private atmosphere and keeps beach going traffic to an absolute minimum. The island is all residential other than the resort area at the north end of Palm Island which offers a restaurant, deli and ice cream shop and small convenience store. Most all of the island traffic is by golf cart.

What makes this property unique

Staying on the island is not for everyone. If you like lots of places to shop, tourist attractions, beach bars and chain restaurants, this isn't the place for you. On the other hand, if you are looking for uncrowded and long deserted stretches of beach, great kayaking, fishing and swinging in a hammock under some breezy palms, this may be just the place. It's for a couple or family that wants some serious down-time ... a place to unplug and recharge your batteries and enjoy some great family time. Our house is pet-friendly with wood or tile floors throughout, a private outdoor shower (which is great for pets!) with a huge downstairs entertainment area complete with your own Tiki Bar. You'll also enjoy a private dock overlooking the lagoon and a great screened wrap-around porch. Our landscaping is all Florida native and offers a very private, resort-style environment.
