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.

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.

Excellent stay - very nice!
We enjoyed the home. It was very relaxing, spacious, and comfortable. We enjoyed the extras like paddle board, hot tub, and tiki bar! It is short walk across the street to the beach. We rented the golf cart which added to enjoyment and seeing the island. Communication from owner was very detailed and clear. Diane was very responsive. We enjoyed the stay and would definitely recommend.

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!

A Gem
This home is a gem-clean, comfortable, well appointed. This is our second time staying here and it will always be at the top of my list. Diane is a great communicator. The wrap around screen porch is fabulous-dinner on the porch over the lagoon every night. Beach is lovely.

Summer Vacation
Loved Changes in Attitudes! Our first time to the island. My 3 teenagers had so much fun and could basically come and go easily. Very close to the beach and easy access. Enjoyed sitting on the screened in deck every evening. Diane is great and super attentive—any questions or concerns, she’s right on it. She was very easy to work with. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend!

Fantastic
Our family of 6 had a wonderful stay in this spotless and beautifully maintained house- described perfectly in the listing! The photos cannot capture the loving care taken of this property. Owners were very well organized, gave us information in advance that answered all of our questions and couldn't have been nicer to deal with. The well stocked kitchen made our dinners "at home" so easy, and the decks are perfect for taking in the sunset and stars. Beach access was very quick and easy.

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!

Weekend getaway
We had such a great time at Diane’s house in Palm Island! Changes in Attitudes is everything that it promises to be ..we just ran out of days to enjoy all of the possibilities from kayaking to paddle boarding to hopping in and out of the hot tub to biking to leisurely walks at the beach in the evening and early morning. Our pups loved it too! We can’t wait to return. If you are looking for peace and solitude.. this is the place. We enjoyed preparing great food in the ample kitchen as well as dining al fresco on the screened in porch. Everyone had a great time.
