Sand so white and water so clear and blue! I love swimming in the Gulf!
Seems like a crowd for a beach in Boca Grande. Take umbrella/chairs provided.

About this property

Blissfully Serene Palm Cottage In Town and 2 Blocks from Beach

A few short blocks from the beach and one block from town make this rare cottage located in the Historic District of Boca Grande the perfect get-away. Situated on an over sized property, this sunny home has recently been updated (most recently with a brand new beautiful kitchen... including a gas stove, stainless steel refrigerator, farm house sink, etc.). This house has been meticulously maintained and everything inside the home is brand new, including the furniture, linens, and appliances. The roomy master suite and bath has its own wing which allows for privacy while the two guest bedrooms and bath are on the opposite side of the cottage. Enjoy the spacious open living/kitchen/dining area (hard wood floors throughout the house), the wonderful breeze off the ocean on the front porch or the privacy of the beautifully landscaped back yard surrounded by mature native mango, kumquat, surnaim cherry and black olive trees.

Wow!!

The home was amazing! It had everything we needed. It is located in the heart of the village of Boca Grande. Everything is a short walk away (the beautiful beach, shopping, restaurants). If you want to enjoy the best of Boca Grande, this is your place! If 6 stars was an option that is what I would pick. Thank you to Susan for allowing us to stay at her property. We plan to return!!

The perfect island getaway

What a charming home in the historic district offering the perfect location for bike rides to dinner and morning strolls to the beach. We had everything we needed and more. The house is spacious and warm filled with beautiful furnishings, comfortable bedding and an inviting kitchen when a stray summer squall calls for a quiet evening in. Susan couldn’t have made us feel more welcome from the moment we booked. We can’t wait to return!

Charming in Boca

We loved the location of the house, just a few blocks to the beach. We loved our morning walks to the bakery. The house is cute and charming - perfect for our young family (kids 1.5 and 3.5)! Communication with Susan was great. We would definitely return to the house.

Wonderful, charming home. Great service.

Boca Grande is an authentic, Old Florida destination. Great beach, fishing, food, and shopping. This could be one of the cutest rental houses on the island! Would definitely recommend.

Darling cottage right in downtown Boca!

We love this home! This was our second time staying here, and it was perfect for our group of 6 women. Two-three short blocks to the beach, one block to downtown. Bedding is soft and fluffy; plenty of bath and beach towels. Susan is readily available for any problems--but we didn't have any!

Quaint, Quirky Cottage by the sea!

We came to Boca Grande on vacation for 4 days with our family. We completely fell in love with the Island. It is so beautiful. Great for families! The accommodation was simply delightful, which made the trip even more extra special! Our only criticism was that we didn’t stay long enough but that means we can come back again! Fantastic!

A relaxed and memorable trip in a perfect little beach house. A house that had all the details tended too, not unlike a boutique hotel with a very personable touch.

Fantastic!

Gorgeous property, exceptionally clean, and had everything we could possibly need—kids toys, beach chairs and umbrella, bikes, extra beach towels and linens, sunscreen, and place settings for outdoor dining. This was our first time in Boca Grande and I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Love the island and the rental. Susan was exceptional to work with. We will 100% be back!
