Peaceful and private beachfront

This was the perfect little getaway. The house is right on the beach and the dock is a short walk away. Dog friendly island and everyone was very friendly and helpful. Easy access to Boca Grande and fishing and beautiful sunsets. We will definitely be back.

The house and stay exceeded our expectations. Tasha gives truly a 5 star treatment. From the moment you walk into the beautiful decorated house, you feel in another world. The house is stocked with everything you need and more. The bed is extremely comfortable, the shower was amazing after a beach day. There is even a gift and a personalized message for you as you come in. We highly recommend this house and we can’t wait to come back.

Fabulous.

My wife and I and our two chocolate labs stayed 3 nights May 3 to 6. This charming house is in splendid shape. It made us feel like it was our own vacation home. We would not change one thing. The beach is gorgeous with almost no crowds. This time of the year the turquoise sea temperature is perfect. We saw turtles, dolphins, tarpons and a manatee that we were able to pet on the sandbank, about 50 yards from the beach. We had Long Beach walks to both ends of the island, about a two to three hour walk roundtrip both ways with almost no one on sight. Tasha, the manager is always available to answer any issues that may arise. The house has a cart to carry your stuff from the marina, about 100 yards distance.
