Map & Owner's Profile
An Island Escape on Don Pedro Island (West Coast Florida)
Year Purchased: 1985
Why the Owner Chose Don Pedro Island
This is our "home away from home" with what we feel are personal comfortable touches. It's 90 minutes from St. Pete (our real home), but once you get on the ferry, you feel instantly removed from the stress of the mainland! We can just relax on the beach, or go fishing up and down the unobstructed 4-1/2 mile shoreline.
Public restaurant and small general store/gift shop located in Palm Island Resort
