About the host
Hosted by Jim, Kelly and Brittany Gvazdinskas
Our love affair with Gasparilla Island all stars with a Spartan vacation in 1975 to Punta Gorda Florida. On a tip from friends, we ventured over the bridge in a rickety old green VW bug. It was love at first sight. The October sun was warm and the beaches and downtown deserted. Only pelicans, shore birds and turtle nests dotted the shoreline. And when the sun set a quiet and beautiful darkness enveloped the island.
From that moment on Boca was our getaway destination. For several years we lodged off island. Eventually the low season was affordable and we began to stay on island.
That experience enticed is to bring down Mother. She would rise at sunrise and head to the beach for sea shell finds. The birth of our two children made BOCA a “home away from home”. Many fun walks down Banyan street, ice cream from Loose Caboose, and Hudson’s grocery store runs kept us busy and well fed. Pick up games with other kids at the community center broadened our ideas. Nothing could pull us away: not Disneyworld, the Everglades, nor the glamour of Naples.
BOCA is home. Nothing else even comes close. ❤️
