FLORIDA'S BEST KEPT SECRET WITH HEATED POOL

After visiting a few years ago, my wife and I decided to bring our daughters to Boca Grande. We had a lovely time exploring the beaches for shark teeth, fishing, swimming, and dining at some wonderful restaurants. The town is so quaint and we loved being close to the shops, bakery, and restaurants. And with three children, Susan's home was the perfect place to stay. The kitchen is very well equipped and she even provides beach chairs! We so enjoyed having our morning coffee and afternoon naps on the front porch, and the kids got a lot of use out of the pool. We can't wait to go back.

After a hectic season in my retail business I was lucky enough to learn about a
wonderful cottage on Gasparilla Island, Florida, I gathers 2 good friends who
were also looking for a stress free holiday and together we found a little bit of
paradise on Boca Grande.
Huge palm trees rustled outside the front screened veranda and just around the
corner we found interesting shops, grocery supplies and a beautiful stretch of
pristine beach,
The charming beach house had every amenity and we foodies enjoyed cooking
in the well equipped kitchen overlooking the pool area. On alternate nights we
sampled the selection of excellent restaurants specializing in fresh Gulf seafood.
We all agreed it was perfect.

We LOVE this house and we love Boca Grande. This is our second trip down this year and a return to a spot we’ve been many times before. The beautiful ospreys and funny pelicans and smiling dolphins seem to welcome us back as much as the friendly people did. Susan’s house is just perfect, as always. And yet, there were some new touches to appreciate—a comfy new chair in the living room was an ideal spot to curl up with a good book. I love to sip my morning cup of tea on the front screened porch while we plan what we’ll do that day. Town is a short walk away and full of restaurants and interesting shops. From tasty lunches at the Loose Caboose (and their famous ice cream), to darn good pizza at Sisters, to an excellent dinner at the Temptation, we had our choice of great restaurants. But we didn’t go to all of them because Hudson’s sells fresh fish and great steaks and Susan’s kitchen is very well equipped for cooking. A meal at the Sunset Grille is always a must as we watch the sun set over the Gulf (although I’ve still never seen the green flash). I was sad to see the bookstore owner had retired and the shop was closed but loved making full use of the Community Center library. A few places were not yet open for the season which began two weeks after our stay, but that didn’t matter. Swimming in the gulf, reading by the pool in the back, and walking on the beach are really all I want to do in this quiet little corner of paradise.
