Our host Susan was nothing short of amazing! The house and pool and gardens were exactly as described and exactly what we needed them to be - literally a home away from home that catered to 3 different generations perfectly. Everything was sparkling clean and everything was in a place that made it easy to find.Susan left detailed instructions that were easy to follow as well as a detailed description of the Island making our stay streamlined and easy. We so appreciated how available she was and we truly hope to stay at her home on our next visit to Boca Grande.

Charming cottage in ideal location

This perfectly appointed beach cottage is located at the fringes of the main village of Boca Grande Island, just a couple blocks from everything you want, including the white sand, shell filled beaches. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen well stocked, the pool clean and inviting. There's a lovely front porch with lots of seating for your morning coffee and different seating areas in the back around / near the pool as well. Loved it!

Ideal Location

Within minutes of booking this cute home, the owner had reached out to go over the house and any questions I had. She was easy to reach via phone or email. The home is located in the heart of downtown and within walking distance to restaurants, shopping, and the beach. The house was well equipment with anything we may need and is just as described. Well kept, huge kitchen, great outdoor space. We look forward to returning in the future and enjoying the charm of this classic FL beach home.

Amazing family vacation!

What a fabulous home for a family vacation! There were 6 of us, which included my 2 adult children and their significant others. From the moment we first arrived, we knew it was going to be a special week... we just loved the house (the charm, the kitchen, the coziness, the pool and the front porch!) as well as the location which is central to both the beaches and shopping/restaurants! Susan was terrific to work with and if I could leave more than 5 stars, I would! So many wonderful memories were made last week... We will be back!!

Tarpon Cottage is a Delight!

Our family's stay in the Tarpon Cottage exceeded our expectations and greatly enhanced the comfort and ease of our Florida trip. Susan was a wondeful host and was a breeze to communicate with. She was instantly "on it" any time we had a question or concern and always responded rapidly. The beautiful cottage, located close to the beach and local restaurants, was incredibly comfortable. We especially enjoyed the scenic backyard patio, complete with a pool, shower, and comfortable lounge chairs. The inside of the house provided plenty of space to undwind and relax. The Boca Grande area was gorgeous, and our family enjoyed exploring it as well as surrounding islands. Seeing dolphins and manatees during our nightly sunset golf cart rides was an unforgettable experience. Additionally, our boat ride to Cabbage Key with Captain Chad was a highlight of our trip! It was a joy to stay in Susan's lovely cottage, and we would not hesitate to return!

6 Stars

I would give this house and owner 6 stars if it were available. The house was perfect for us to each have their own bedroom, large kitchen to gather in, the and a comfortable living area with front porch. The back with just the right size pool is icing on the cake. The location is superb with access to the town, the Inn, beach, and to the Innlet where we kept our boat. The owner guided us through opening up the house to everything while there and to closing up —- easy peazy. Susan was very responsive and when we had a question about the refrigerator, she jumped on it. By the way, there was nothing wrong with the refrigerator, we had loaded it with too many non-refrigerated drinks and it took it awhile to catch up. Just mentioning because we were amazed at Susan’s quick response and willingness to call her repair people. Her recommendations for things to do and restaurants were spot on. We have been coming to Boca over a 30 year time period and all recommendations were exactly what we would recommend. Susan and the house definitely are a 6! Above and beyond 5 stars.
