Perfect getaway!
We stayed at One More Day during Tropical Storm Debby. Every thing was great considering two days of bad weather. If you're concerned about staying on an island during a significant weather event, we found the stay perfectly safe. We never lost utilities. The ferry was great about communication and tried to move people on and off the best they could when safe. The pool was great for the kids. Every chair, couch and bed had a wonderful view. Terri and Jeff were very responsive. After the storm rolled out, the weather was perfect. We will definitely be back!

One More Night
I have nothing but good things to say about this location. Love the pool, the dock, the house and the location!!! The house was really well stocked. I found that items that I normally bring to VRBO rentals were not needed at this location. The views from all sides allowed for some great views of the island. The island itself was a great place to just explore and relax.

Wonderful family stay
We spent a few days during Christmas at One More Day and had a great time. Even though the weather wasn't great, we were still able to spend two days walking and shelling on the beach which is just a short golf cart ride away. When were were at the house we enjoyed coffee on the deck, watching boats go by, and the kids loved the heated pool. Palm Island is a magical place!

Overall really great! We enjoyed the heated pool and the kids loved fishing off the dock. Easy walk to the beach. Teri was very responsive when we had questions. One small surprise was the cost of the ferry: $55! So plan accordingly :-)

Amazing stay!
We vacation in Florida several times a year and we were looking for something different and slow, this island fit the bill! One More Day had everything we needed to stay over Thanksgiving, from cooking our full dinner to all the amenities that came with the house, everyone was happy, even the teens. Having the heated pool was very helpful as it did get cold during our stay and the dock was constantly used for fishing and kayaking. We enhanced our stay with a golf cart rental. Teri was fantastic with communication. When it was time to leave we definitely wished we could stay One More Day!

Short family weekend getaway
This cozy home and the location was amazing for our family for a short weekend trip. We did have a hiccup in getting to the dock with our boat late in the evening but the host was very responsive and helped us get out of a tough situation. We were very grateful for that. Our kids enjoyed the upstairs bedroom with us but a bit of a challenge for some going up and down. We had everything needed at the house for our family. We got a golf cart at coconuts and enjoyed driving to the beach. Would certainly be back for a longer vacation next time.

We loved our Stay at “One More Day”
My family and I had the most relaxing vacation here making memories we will never forget. Our kids absolutely loved swimming in the heated pool with lighting at night. We rented a golf cart and rode it back and forth to the beach a couple times a day, and enjoyed hunting for sharks teeth. The water here is crystal clear it felt like we were in a movie. “One more day” had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The beds were so comfortable, and there were TVs in every room. We grilled each day as well out by the pool. Communication with the owners was exceptional. We cannot wait to come back and plan on making this an annual tradition for our family ❤️

Relaxing Getaway
Exactly as advertised and very quiet area of the island. Our 14 year old son spent a lot of time fishing off the dock and actually caught fish (which hasn’t always been the case at other locations). We also saw a manatee swim by the dock! Although not expected, it was nice to have some basic household items like Clorox wipes, toilet paper, dishwasher tabs, etc available which was the case here. The outside entertainment area with flat screen TV and fire pit was amazing and we spent many nights out there watching the NBA playoffs. Teri was extremely responsive anytime I had a question, which was also greatly appreciated!

Perfect Getaway
The house and island were the perfect getaway for our family of 4. We couldn’t get the boys out of the pool! The house was super clean. It was also spacious enough for us all to be together or have time alone with the option of the second floor living space, the screened in porch or below the house. We rented a golf cart during our stay and when it died while at the beach Teri was super responsive. She contacted her friend on the island to come pick us up and then followed up the next day to make sure the golf cart issue was resolved. Great people!!

Very nice home and property to decompress. Can only be reached by ferry boat. Beach is a short car/golf cart ride away and quiet. Sunrise and coffee on the deck in the mornings are pretty nice! Thanks for sharing your home.

Wonderful Visit to One More Day
We loved One More Day - great setting and wonderful hosts. The pool was amazing, the beds very comfortable, and the kitchen well stocked. We were the first guests after the hurricane damage and some work was still to be done, but the property is truly a gem. The owners take great pride in their home and are exceptionally pleasant and responsive. We rented a golf cart to get to the beach which is much easier than walking. We also buy the 5-trip ferry pass each time we come to the island so we can go out to eat and grocery shop without paying each time, and it saves a little money. Don't hesitate . . . :-)

Short Vacation
Thank you Teri. We really enjoyed our short vacation at your house. The location was very peaceful and we enjoyed the island. The house was exactly as described. The house was clean and inviting. We enjoyed Kayaking, fishing, pool, beach, and the island life was the change of pace we needed. I would recommend to anyone wanting to get away.

Great island getaway - Old Florida style
Enjoyed a six night stay at this property with my family. We spent time fishing from the dock, kayaking, paddle boarding and collecting sharks teeth and shells on the beach. In the evening we rode around the island on a rented golf cart and headed to the beach to watch the sun set. Property owner was easy to reach and extremely responsive when we had a question. We enjoyed our stay!

Fantastic place and fantastic host!
This is a great place to unplug and spend quality time together as a family! Teri was super prompt in all communications and the house was just as described. This was the first house we rented where the master bed was just as comfortable as our bed at home! It was so nice to get good sleep while on vacation instead of having the "I can't wait to sleep in our own beds" feeling. Plenty of thick, lush towels were also provided and they were great quality which was also nice compared to some thin/cheap ones we've had before at other rentals. I also appreciate the fridge having working water & ice so we didn't have to use sink water or bring a ton of water bottles. There were so many little details throughout that we appreciated! Great house, great fishing, great pool and it's nice that some people could be fishing and you could see what they reeled in from the pool without having to get out. Lots of snook by the dock and we were able to catch some which our boys loved. The island is low key, but there is one restaurant and one ice cream shop. Once we explored the island we were super happy we chose this rental. It is one of the few houses with a private pool and is in such a great location. Can't say enough about the house or the host! Thanks for sharing your home with us Teri!
