Boca Grande’s Gasparilla Island has been a well-kept secret for generations, offering luxurious, unpopulated beaches and a relaxed, small-town feel that is so hard to find today in Florida. Located on the north end of the barrier islands that ring pristine Charlotte Harbor and Pine Island Sound, it has attracted sports fishermen from around the world since the turn of the century, and its seven-mile bicycle path and laid back pace are a dream come true for young and old, couples and families alike. The property is available by the week (seven night minimum), or at a discounted rate for a term of one month or more.
