Photos and Description of the Cape Haze vacation house rental
House, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths, (Sleeps 4-5)

Coquina Cove is your very own private tropical oasis in the sun. This wonderful, very well kept, two bedroom, two bath lagoon-front home offers great Gulf and water views from every room, warm Gulf breezes and your own private dock. Decorated in a tropical island style you’ll enjoy quiet walks down the beach with hardly a person in sight!

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 right out the back door, 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.

Bring your boat or rent one for the ultimate in Florida lifestyle. The private dock will accommodate a single boat up to 22 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, pizza place, ice cream shop, convenience 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 four comfortably. No smoking. Pets allowed with owner's permission and additional pet deposit. Fenced area for your convenience. Spacious, open floor plan. Fully equipped kitchen. Nice screened patio that opens into the living room. Master bedroom with private bath. Satellite TV, hammock, hot tub and more!

Don Pedro is an island experience like no other. Come to our island and see why so many have fallen in love with this little "slice" of paradise!

About Julie

I grew up in Florida and as a child and teenager we would always head over to the Gulf Coast beaches for our recreation and vacations. It was a lot of fun and holds a bunch of fond memories for me. Back then, the Gulf Coast was less discovered and certainly less developed. Today, 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 high-rise buildings. It is the best of Old Florida, natural, unspoiled and a genuine paradise.

Julie purchased this house in 2003
Why Julie chose Cape Haze

We bought 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. 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 quality restaurant, pizza and ice cream shoppe and small convenience store. Most all of the island traffic is by golf cart.

What makes this house 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 un-crowded and un-spoiled beaches, 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 tile floors throughout, a private outdoor shower (which is great for pets!) and one of the only island homes with a tasteful fenced in yard. We always travel with our pets and we know many of you won't leave home without yours either. After all, they're part of the family. There's an entertainment area under the house with a very nice gas grill, bar area, table and chairs and a hot tub. Out back, you'll enjoy a private dock overlooking the lagoon with dock lights and water. On the property you'll see plenty of Gopher Tortoise and native birds. Our landscaping is all Florida native and offers a very private environment.

Extended Family Vacation

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Jun 3, 2013
  • Stayed: May 2013
The owners were awesome/very friendly as well as helpful and the property was adorable with several amenities that really made it easy to accommodate my extended families needs for a stress free family vacation. The additional activities we scheduled were easily accessed due to their help as well, making for an absolutely fantastic experience. The boat rental & fishing was a super experience that went very smoothly as well. Over all the house rental provided an excellent environment to spend quality time together under one roof & felt a bit like home. We had access to a boat ramp on the intercostal and private access to the beach as well which was in a lovely natural park or nature preserve environment. Beach equipment such as chairs/umbrella, snorkeling equipment, fishing poles, and my personal favorite was the hammock (major kudos' for that one). Our overall experience was spectacular.

Three weeks in paradise

  • Submitted: Feb 5, 2013

Coquina Cove is the perfect place for a peaceful vacation. The owners have thought of every possible need or want you could have for a vacation setting. We enjoyed the bikes, kayaks and golf cart, plus having coffee on the screened-in porch and looking at the gulf. The dock afforded lots of opportunities for bird-watching, fishing or just reading in solitude. There are no reasons to rush or keep a schedule or use electronics at Coquina Cove (although you can read your e -mail, if you wish). It's a lovely home in a secluded, quiet setting with a fenced -in yard that was perfect for our four-legged companion. It was our first trip to Don Pedro Island, but we'll be back again and again... Thanks for sharing your home with us and Miss Daisy.

Not only did the weather cooperate, we found Coquina Cove to be an ideal setting for a perfect vacation. The house was immaculate and very well equipped. We lacked nothing. We also planned well in advance and never had to leave the island for supplies. We did take advantage of the resort and had an occassional ice cream cone. The information package we received in advance proved to be invaluable. We walked the beaches daily, fished off the dock, toured in the golf cart, and even found time to relax.

Blissful Stay at Coquina Cove

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Dec 2, 2012
  • Stayed: Oct 2012
We and our 2 dogs enjoyed our week-long stay at Coquina Cove. Julie was very attentive and responded promptly to any questions. The house is very extremely well-maintained, efficiently laid out, and the kitchen well-equipped. It is nicely decorated in a beach theme, and the furnishings were up-to-date and very comfortable. The listing photos are accurate, but really don't do it justice. There were great breezes, so we kept the windows open and never slept better! We spent our time reading, kayaking, shelling and walking on the deserted beach, and exploring the island by golf-cart. We had a very pleasant, relaxing stay on a very peaceful and quiet island. We appreciate so much that we were able to bring our dogs along with us. We even got to meet a local celebrity, the famous golden retriever "Mango" and his warm and hospitable owners who made us feel like family. Also, we did see the green flash twice during our stay. We would have given a six-star rating, but the limit was five! The only drawback for some (with very small children or for those with mobility issues) would be the limits imposed by the stairs. We hope to return soon, and would highly recommend Coquina Cove.

We love this house and this island. Palm Island offers such a relaxing, unplugged vacation. Every night you can walk across the road to watch the sunset on a beach that is almost empty. Bring your boat and you can dock it at a well-maintained dock to go fishing for redfish and snook.
The house is wonderful supplied and beautiful maintained. It is perfect for our family of 4. This was our 5th time at this house and we are never disappointed.
Thanks for sharing your house and island with us!
