View was amazing from the screen porch! The host was great to work with and was very attentive. We loved our stay and booked again for next year! Everything was great. Thanks!!
It was excellent!
All members of my family enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. I especially enjoyed relaxing on the porch overlooking the waterway and watching the dolphins and manatees. You couldn't find a better place to observe them! I can't think of a single negative thing to say. Our stay was delightful.
Woke up to manatees and dolphins every morning, spectacular view of the lagoon and surrounding real estate, communicative and caring owner. And an amazing array of cookware and serving/Dining ware. Overall very well appointed. Would definitely go back to again!
Excellent stay, great location
Perfect spot to visit Boca Grande with our 22ft boat. We went out every day and explored the area by water. Rented a golf cart to explore the land as well. Three comfortable bedrooms and 4 bathrooms mad it very easy to clean up after a day on the water. Kitchen was well equipped and the grill also. The house was spotless. Loved playing with the manatees who came up to us when we were cleaning the boat. The breeze on the screened in patio was refreshing during the hotter June weather.
Another great visit
We had a great stay at the boat house. It is very comfortable and cozy, and the kitchen, etc was very well equipped. Lots of beach chairs to use also. The screened in porch is lovely, and we watched the manatee and dolphin daily. Thank you to our host!
Great place to stay for tarpon season
The Boat House on Gasparilla Island is as wonderful as advertised. The house is in a great central location on the island, and has a nice view of the inland waterway between the Gulf side and the bay side. The corner of the cove where the house is located is a favorite hangout for about 12 local manatee where they seem to play and take care of their little ones. I also caught several fish from the dock including a 27 Snook. The house is very clean and well appointed. There is lots of space and it is bright and airy. Andy, the property manager is a real pro. He communicates well and is responsive without being obtrusive. Next time we are in Boca Grande, want to stay here again.
This was our second trip to Boca Grande and it did not disappoint, once again! This home was perfect for our family and the location was exactly what we were looking for-- quiet area on the water/bayou, close enough to town, but directly across the street from the beach as well. We fished every day off the lower dock, greeted manatees, relaxed on the perfect upper-level screened in porch (amazing views), cooked family dinners, and hung out on the beach with the dog, This house afforded us the opportunity to squeeze in everything we wanted out of our family vacation before our son moves away for college! The owner, Andy, is extremely attentive as well, and will make sure you feel at home and comfortable. We will be back for sure!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home is in a great location (easy golf cart ride to town) and is convenient to the beach and kayak launch. The home is clean, very nicely equipped, has 4 bathrooms, 2 king bedrooms, and one bedroom with twin beds. Additionally, beach chairs, umbrellas, floats and a cooler were appreciated! We have a boat and chose this home for the ease of boat access, dock and trailer parking. Snook fishing from the house was an added bonus! Two lovely screened porches with waterfront views of the local manatee and dolphin were a treat each evening. The host was accessible, kind and patient with us as we were awaiting military orders for leave and uncertain of our dates. Communication was great and the check in/out process was a breeze. All in all, a great 2 weeks. We are rested and relaxed and hope to go back again soon!
The Bayou Boat House exceeded expectations on every level. Very well-appointed with a thoughtful layout. Although we (group of 6 adults) did not have our own boat, the dock was used extensively. We chartered a sunset/dinner cruise to Cabbage Key from the dock and spent lots of time there watching the manatees and dolphins that often came up to greet us. Mr. Rockefeller provided all of the information needed to maximize enjoyment of the house and waterfront location. Beach access was surprisingly close and convenient as well. A few minutes walk and an even faster golf cart ride to the Gulf. Town is just a few minutes golf cart ride away, but is also walkable for anyone so inclined. Overall, it's hard to imagine a more enjoyable experience on Boca Grande. Thank you. We hope to return.
We just returned from our second stay here. We chose it for the easy access to dock our boat at the house, but loved the house too. The house is decorated nice, has a well stocked kitchen, beautiful screened porch overlooking the bayou, and was comfortable for our group of 6. Andy the owner was quick to respond with a few questions and he went above and beyond helping us with some visitors we had. A big bonus was the large group of manatees hanging around the house that visited us every day. We hope to visit again next summer. Thanks for a great vacation week!
Clean and nice- great stay.
Everything about this rental was top notch
This is a very special accommodation overlooking a peaceful cove populated by manatees and ospreys. It is comfortable and well appointed.
We had a great 3 night stay at the Boat house. Beautiful spot on the river and short walk to the beach.
