Wonderful return to the Blue Pearl after a break of a few years - the secluded peaceful vibe of the house remains - as do the back bay and beach wonders - a perfect retreat.

Blue Pearl Spring Break 2022
Our stay at the Blue Pearl was exactly what I was hoping for with lots of sun, sand and relaxation. The house was well equipped with everything we needed and we spent most of our time sitting on the deck and enjoying the beautiful views. The rest of the time we spent on the beach, which was just a short 5 minute walk.

Excellent home to enjoy the island - bay and Gulf. Make sure to book your golf cart and boat well in advance and bring all your food as there is no store on the island.

Beautiful Property
The Blue Pear is lovely. The decor is amazing. The railing of the indoor stairs is an oar. I love it!! The living room seems small downstairs. And because of the mosquitoes and the porch not being screened in, it has to remain closed-in downstairs making the area feel and appear even smaller. Beyond that, everything else is perfect. Everything I needed was there. The coffee grinder was awesome, there were so many extra towels, we could do our laundry, there was bug spray, and Hallelujah! there was duct tape!! This is probably the best stocked house I've stayed in on the Island. We were very comfortable here. One of the best things about the Blue Pearl is that the home meets you right off of the dock. I would definitely stay at the Blue Pearl again.

Quiet Get-Away
This home is located right on the water with a private dock. The view of the bay is beautiful from every window in the house! It's a short walk to a very nice beach. The house was immaculate, comfortable, and very well-stocked. The property manager was easy to get in touch with and always responded quickly. Our experience with this property was 5 Star all the way!

Wonderful week at The Blue Pearl! Our first stay on LGI and it did not disappoint! The house was furnished perfectly with the most comfortable beds. It was clean and had everything we needed. Perfect location. The spacious dock was perfect for our family for fishing, watching sunrises, and visiting with the dolphins! The close walk to the beach (right across the way) was a breeze. I can’t say enough about this home or our wonderful trip!

Don was our property manager and he was amazingly helpful
We have enjoyed our stay at the Blue Pearl. It is so easy to use our boat as the dock is private which makes traveling back and forth to the mainland just like driving to town! The Blue Pearl is located a bit further away from our friend but we so happily enjoy the walks, morning and evening! The house is wonderfully equipped with all that we need, and because we are repeat enjoyers...we know what to bring from home. We are very happy here.

The property was just as described. Very convenient and comfortable. Communication with the hosting company was smooth. Check-in and check-out was very easy. There were many spices and cooking supplies available. There is a very nice and new stainless steel gas grill. Power, freshwater and cleaning table are available at the dock. The dock pilings has nice bumpers on them. Nice touches and amenities all around.

Really awesome location!
We have never rented in the area but frequent Boca Grande quite often. The location of this property is perfect. It was a short boat ride from Eldreds marina. From the dock to the house is a super short walk and it’s just a 5 minute walk to the gorgeous beach on the other side! The view from every room is amazing! We plan to Stay again hopefully.

Amazing views, tranquility, and relaxation at it’s finest.
Everything was perfect. The house, views, and location on the island. The kitchen was perfect with everything we needed. We had great interactions with the friendly neighbors, we kayaked, fished, bbq’d, walked for hours on the beach collecting shells and sharks teeth. The birds, dolphins, manatee family that visited us on the dock almost every day was an unexpected treat. We surprisingly loved waking up in bed to the sunrise over the bay and ending the days on the beach with libation in hand watching the gorgeous sun set into the ocean. We will definitely be back!

Blue pearl
This property was awesome! Until you rent you just don’t no how it will be. It was perfect. Pictures just don’t do justice it was beyond my expectation. The only thing that was bad was the mosquito, they had just hatched and to get to the ocean you had to walk thru them. We had our dogs(1 of them had IMHA ) so we couldn’t spray her with bug spray to walk to the beach . Beside that the house was gorgeous! Thank you Pam and Ed
