Lovely vacation
House is well designed & beautiful. Lots of "toys:" paddleboards, kayaks, life vests. Huge deck under house that includes 2 hammocks, a porch swing, table and chairs that seats 6, 4 chaise lounges, plenty of beach chairs & 2 umbrellas, private outdoor shower, & faucets to hose off feet & shells. Loved it!

Peace and quiet
Just what we were looking for, very peacefull, very quiet, very private. House was clean and had everything we needed, even more. Downstairs was nice with a great breeze blowing through and fishing off the dock at night was great. Beach is a minute walk across the "street" and if you collect seashells bring a big bucket or stro g bag or a truck. They are litterally everywhere. Our best ones were 2 whole sand dollars and 2 large conch shells, you'll find what your looki g for if you look for it. Don't forget anything, or you'll do without or get on the ferry. Resort restaraunt is pricey but the food is awsome and worth it. We don't normally go to the same place twice when on vacation but we'll be rethinking that next time we go to Fl. Thank you Miss Diane for the use of your house, it was wonderful!!

Absolutely beautiful stay, You are on Island time for sure, great place to unwind from the hustle and bustle of life. Beach is across the street, you have many public access entrances, some are lined with sea shells. Sunsets are breathtaking. Bring bug spray for summer. :). Fisherman’s dream!

Wonderful house and location!!
Our vacation was wonderful. We stayed for a full week and everything went without any issues. We did see a pretty good size bee hive and notified the owner. She had someone out the following day! The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Looking forward to our next visit already!!

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.

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!

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!

Great time on Palm Island
Everything was great and as described. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was big, and plenty of stuff to cook with and areas to store. Fridge was big with large freezer. Couches were comfortable. The area under the house was terrific for hanging out. Screened wraparound porch with plenty of seating and space. Property was very well maintained. Communication excellent as always. Bathrooms are a bit small, and master bath could use an update. And we wish there was a ladder on dock to make it easier to get in and out of water. But these are both very minor. Last thing, bring big spray, no see-ums got us good :(

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!
