Perfect week

Another great week in the pink cottage at Gasparilla! The weather was nearly perfect! The cottage so comfortable! The town was absolutely teaming with visitors but the neighborhood was really quiet! Great recharge before a busy spring and summer! Looking forward to coming back as soon as possible!

Lovely Pink Cottage

We love this cottage. It is perfect for us two retirees. The spaces are well laid out and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped. I spent a lot of time on the screened in porch. The location is ideal - quiet but just a few blocks from town. The film festival in Feb. was a real bonus. Andy was very helpful. We are returning next Winter.

Perfect Boca Grande Cottage

Absolutely loved this piece of property. It is a charming cottage and gives that perfect Boca Grande feel. Fabulous location. It was perfect for my husband and I with our son and his friend. The front courtyard is large and a great place to have a few other friends over for happy hour. We will definitely stay here again.

Great house, great location, great experience

Great location, just far enough away from things to not be in the noisy crowds, but close enough to walk to everything in 5 minutes. Close to the beach, close to most of the restaurants, and good kitchen for when you want to stay in. Five stars +++

Tropical Paradise

I had admired this home for several years while staying a couple of nights at the Inn and finally got the opportunity to take off more time and stay for more than a few days. Ian recked havoc over the entire island but dedicated homeowners found the way to restore most homes before their season! Home is in such a great location! Well stocked kitchen and comfortable living area! The yard is just beautiful with new landscaping and furniture. Owners are extremely nice and very responsive. We can't wait to go back !!

Beautiful cottage, great location

This is a lovely cottage with full amenities. Large screened porch and a big front yard with ample seating. As is not usually the case, the cottage is even more beautiful and cozy than it appears in the photos. It is located no more than a few blocks from everything in Boca Grande. Our hosts Andy and Regina are lovely as well. We will be back!

Wonderful experience

This was our second time staying at the cottage and I can’t speak highly enough about the experience. Perfect for a family of four and ideally located on the island. Great communication from the owner. If you’re looking for a VRBO on the island, look no further.

Second year renters

We love this cute and cozy house and have already made our reservation for next year. Located in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood that is a brief golf cart ride to the business area, we find ourselves often reading on the nice screened in porch. We love the included bikes for early morning rides to the lighthouse end of the park for seashell hunting. The included beach chairs are also a welcome addition to our enjoyment of a day at the beach.

Perfect Spot

This is a great location in the middle of town. Walk to everything. It is indeed an old fashioned bungalow, which means beachy and comfortable. It is small but great for 1-2 people. The kitchen has everything you need and the bathrooms have been redone. Andy is always available and wants to insure that you enjoy the house. I hesitate to be too glowing—it’ll never be available!
