Most Relaxing Vacation EVER!!
Most Relaxing Vacation EVER!!

To celebrate my mom and dad's 40th wedding anniversary and my dad's upcoming 60th birthday, we rented this house for our family for the week! This was THE ONE! The house was perfect for all of us, once we found it!! It truly is a hidden gem and if you don't look close, you might miss it too! Just a quick walk across the street to the beach, quick golf cart ride to town or even to the southern tip of island, or a nice leisure jump in the pool was what we enjoyed! The house was just how it looks, beautiful, thoughtfully decorated, spacious, and had everything we needed. We enjoyed playing Yatzee on the lanai. We had found a broken step upon arrival and that one toilet wouldn't work. However, I called the property manager, Tina, and she was such a big help. We were able to get the things fixed so that we and the following renters could enjoy the house!! We enjoyed eating ice cream at the Pink Pony and watching sunsets at South Beach! I would say, the biggest hit was the pool and the golf cart! We just enjoyed a very relaxing week with no schedule or plans and it is the island that "time stood still" on!! I would recommend this house to anyone interested, it's well worth the price. We sure plan on coming back!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children.

This is the one is the kind of house that is rarely for rent. It accommodates multi family ages, is furnished with thought and caring, and filled with original art. The appliances are the latest, the porch, the pool, the golf cart all added to a wonderful week. We would jump at the chance of renting this house again.Owner response: Loved having such great and caring renters. thanks for coming and I hope you come again. Izzy Goff

You won't find a more family friendly home than this one, including pet friendly! We have stayed at the Goff residence for 3 years in a row now with extended family and one little spoiled dog.......doesn't that say it all! Everyone has something to do whether it is ride a bike, go for a golf cart ride, jog to the lighthouse (crazy sister does this!), go to the beach, go in the pool, watch TV,or read a good book. And how wonderful that each bedroom has its own bathroom! The island is so charming, the beaches so beautiful, and not spoiled by the tackiness of many Florida beaches. The owners are flexible, helpful, and quick to respond to any problems. The property is very well maintained, both home and garden. We would highly recommend this vacation home to anyone! This is truly The One!Recommended for: Sightseeing, pet owners, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car.
Owner response: Love sharing our home with renters who also love it and take care of it well! Thank you. Izzy Goff

After 3 years of staying in a condo on Boca Grabde with a public pool we decided to try a single family home. What a hit! The Goff's home is very spacious. It would be perfect for 2 families and so so private and quiet. We felt like we were on our own little island retreat. The house was extremely clean and orderly and offered all the conforts of home. We were so pleasantly surprised by the amount of space the home offered - 2 sitting areas - one for reading the other for tv viewing and a porch that just called for a glass of wine and a good book - of which there were plenty to read on the shelf. The kitchen was nicely updated with top of the line appliances - double drawer dishwasher and microwave drawer so no reaching overhead. Just steps off the porch was a great grilling station - can't do that in a condo! The pool is gorgeous with spaces to sit and have jets massage the back and it was sparklingly clean - the pool person came while we were there and he could not have been more courtious or friendly. If your looking for a relaxing place - this is it!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, adventure seekers.

We stayed at Steve's and Isabel's home back in Sept. It was wonderful, what a great home. I only wish we could have had more time to just stay at the house and enjoy it more instead of running around and doing the tourist thing. This trip caused me to fall in love with Florida and the state of Florida will probably be my retirement destination. Thank you Steve and Isabel. I hope you always have this as a rental. Steve was great to deal with always answered all my questions. Laura from CaliforniaRecommended for: Sightseeing, romantic getaway, girls getaway, adventure seekers.

Although the weather was chilly and windy, our vacation was great. Our kids flew in from Chicago and we drove down from Louisville. Everything about the house exceeded our expectations. We really enjoyed how easy it was to get to the beach and the center of town. All this was made easy with the golf cart (which our grandkids loved) and the bicycles. The pool was wonderful and the kitchen perfect. Even the spice rack was full! The beds were comfortable and the rooms very nicely decorated. We really appreciated the orginal artwork throughout the house. The Bose sound system and great jazz CD's made for great listening and the games were fun to play. The owners have created a wonderful getaway for weary travelers! We even found a marina nearby, Boca Grande Marina, to dock our boat. This made island hopping very easy and pleasurable. If only the weather had been as nice as the accomadations! We will just have to come back and try again. Rest assured we will!!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, adventure seekers.

My family stayed at this wonderful house the last week of February 2009. My wife, our three children (ages 8, 6, and 3) and my parents thoroughly enjoyed the private location and amenities included (including the pool, the screened porch, the golf cart, and the outdoor grill). We love Boca Grande, and this was the BEST home we've rented in 8 years coming to Florida. Thanks Steve and Isabel for sharing your slice of paradise with us.Did you find this review helpful?

We stayed at Isabel and Steve Goff’s house in Florida with our family (4 adults and a 2 year old grandchild) for two weeks over Christmas and New Year. The house is like a home from home with easy access to beautiful (and largely deserted) beaches, shops and restaurants. The house has everything we needed, from excellent cooking facilities, a great barbeque and outside eating area to wireless internet and cable television on a large flat screen. We watched beautiful sunsets across the ocean just two minutes walk from the house and our granddaughter loved the beach. Bikes, golf cart and lack of traffic made getting around a pleasure. This is a great house in a wonderful location. We very much appreciated the opportunity to share Isabel and Steve's beautiful home.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0
