Exceptional Historic Luxury Home – Perfect Island Getaway!

We had an incredible stay at Gilchrist Manor! The home is beautifully maintained with a perfect blend of historic charm and modern luxury. The updated appliances and high-end cookware made cooking a pleasure. We only used the two king bedrooms, and they were absolutely amazing — the beds were incredibly comfortable, and the linens were clearly high quality.The common-area washer and dryer were large, new, and very convenient for a beach trip. Everything in the home was spotless and exactly as described in the listing.The location is unbeatable, just a short walk to both the beach (with stunning sunsets!) and the historic district filled with charming shops and restaurants. We highly recommend renting a golf cart to explore the island. We enjoyed checking out the south end beaches and even visited the elegant Gasparilla Inn.This house exceeded our expectations in every way. We’re already planning our next visit. We truly couldn’t recommend it more!
Stayed 4 nights in May 2025
