A wonderful place in the south Florida sun

Date of Stay: 10/29/11 Review Submitted: 11/13/11

We stayed at this lovely condo for 2 weeks from Oct 29, 2011. The condo is spacious and comfortable and is even better then described. The kitchen is very well equiped with everything you could possibly need. It was wonderful to have breakfast on the balcony in the morning sun. The condo has a view of the courtyard, pool and beach. We spent most of our time on the beach or in the pool. We enjoyed the restaurants on Boca Grande too! This is a wondeful location in which you can rest and relax or actively swim, fish , play tennis or walk the beach, We hope to return next year and would not hesitate to recommend this condo.

Owner response:HI~ Thanks you for your kind words and we welcome you back next year. So happy you enjoyed your time at our condo and Boca! Joy and Dennis

My husband and I are here with our son, his wife and their almost three-year old daughter. We have enjoyed a wonderful week in this beautiful condo. Our granddaughter has made great strides in her swimming due to the pool on the property. Beach access is wonderful. The condo is as beautiful and comfortable as the photographs portray. And the grounds are immaculate. There is nothing we would change about the condo or Sea Oats. Joy was very easy and pleasant to work with. We highly recommend this condo!!!

Owner response:Sue~ Thank you for your great review and we welcome you and your family when your time permits! Glad that the condo met your expectations and your granddaughter made strides in her swimming skills. Thanks, Joy and Dennis

Gasparilla in August

We had another wonderful 2 weeks here at the condo. Our first time here in August and it was a pleasant time. Not as hot as we were expecting as this was the afternoon rainy season. It didn't keep us off the beach or out by the pool. We are always so comfortable here with everything we could want. It makes us feel like we are coming back home each year. Thanks again for opening your condo to us. We are looking forward to coming back next year and each one after that.

Owner response:JIm~ Thanks you for your review and we welcome you back each and every year! WE are so glad that your August trip worked out well for you. Many thanks, Joy and Dennis

A week at Joy and Dennis' condo was much too short. Having been born and raised in Boca Grande (South end of the island) and wanting to see old friends, etc. I will need to go for about two weeks next time.The condo was so comfortable it was difficult to just leave and go visit and sightsee as much as we'd have liked. My two friends who joined me had a great time, and I'm sure will be happy to share it with me next time. You will find everything you need and then some in this lovely condo. Joy has thought of EVERYTHING. I have several friends who want info on contacting Joy, and I recommend it highly to anyone wanting a wonderful home away from home.

Owner response:Ardys~ I am so glad it worked out for you to visit your former home island. We welcome you back any time!! Thanks for your kind words.

We love our 3 week April vacations spent in this unit (this is our 2nd year here), this is a beautifully furnished unit, very well equipped. We do hope to return for many more years. As before, we rarely left the Island, no need to, just for groceries and visiting friends. There are lots of families with little ones here, lots of grandparents with family visiiting. Many people enjoy fishing on the private beach. We visited the village as in other years, lots of good restaurants if you wish to eat out. Thanks Joy and Dennis, for renting your beautiful unit, we have met Joy in previous years, and this year we also met her husband Dennis, which was fun. Jane&Nil

Another fantastic November stay

Guest: WNC mountain visitor (Cashiers, NC)
Date of Stay: 11/20/10 Review Submitted: 11/28/10

This home and complex are outstanding. The grounds give the feel of a resort. The pool, tennis and gardens are all fantastic and overlook the gulf. The unit is very well kept with every extra provided. The owner has gone out of her way to make sure that every stay is most enjoyable!!! The village of Boca Grande is wonderful. The walking/running trail to town is just at 5k and makes for the perfect run. This is by far our favorite and the most enchanting spot in Florida.

Owner response:HI Brian and Family~ Thank you for your compliments of our Sea Oats unit. We try to make our unit inviting and comfortable for our customers to come back often to relax on Boca Grande. We welcome you back any time and we hope you can make back every year! Joy and Dennis

This is a lovely, very well equipped condo - it is an end unit so lots of windows and light, and very private - we only left this beautiful island to buy groceries, spent most of our time on the beach and in the pool and strolling around the village of Boca Grande, exploring the island - also, loved the lanai or screened in porch as we call it - the owners have decorated this condo beautifully, very soothing and cosy wonderful colours very comfortable furniture and king sized bed - would highly recommend it ! We are looking forward to returning, hopefully, many times in the years to come, it truly is like a second home to us - this island reminds us of Bermuda, only better.

I have been fortunate to stay at this beautiful condo twice and look forward to going back! The complex is beautiful, clean and the staff very accomodating. The condo is an oasis, has a perfect view, and if you can imagine more beautiful than the pictures! My husband said that Boca Grande is as beautiful as Hawaii without the long flight. I would highly recommend this condo to my family and best of friends. The island is safe, quiet and quaint. My husband says the fishing is fantastic, however I prefer the spa, shopping, shelling and fun lunches in town. When you visit, don't miss the shrimp boat and make sure to rent a bicycle!

Owner response:HI Cindy and Tom.... Please come back any time...we'd love to have you stay at our Sea Oats condo for lots of R&R! Many thanks for your compliments. Joy and Dennis

Boca Grande is more like Bermuda or the Bahamas, gorgeous island, we only left to buy groceries.
