Gardner Beach House - Coastal elegance meets old Florida, southern charm

We love Boca Grande and try to visit the Island at least once every year. This is the first time we have stayed in this part of the island and we loved it. It’s very peaceful and quiet and the beach is wide and private. Their are turtles roaming the property, and we had an osprey nest and bald eagles nest we could see from the window of the unit.

The condo itself is stunning. The finishes are so nice— beautiful and stylish and well done. The layout is very thoughtful and everyone has a nice private space for themselves. The beds are very comfortable, and we all slept great. The porch with the swing bed is awesome, and it’s so convenient to have the garage and golf cart. The pool is very warm and close to the unit. Even though we came at a very busy time of year (around Easter) the development did not feel crowded.

We loved this property and can’t wait to come back.

Wow! Our family spent Christmas here and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We have stayed in several vacation rentals and this is one of our favorites (and I'll admit I have high expectations). Beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable. Perfect location, amazing views, spectacular sunsets, private and peaceful. We had fun using the pool and tennis court right beside the villa. I would definitely recommend renting the golf carts. We went everywhere on the island in them and didn't even use our cars. It was easy and a lot of fun. Gasparilla Island is lovely. Boca Grande is a cute little town with nice shops and restaurants. We always appreciate finding a place this nice that is also dog friendly, so thank you. Bonus-bald eagles nest right outside the villa, which we enjoyed watching all week. A truly relaxing vacation for our family and we didn't want to leave. We would love to stay here again. Megan was very easy and pleasant to work with. Highly recommend this place.

Wow! What a delightful week! We have stayed in many lovely locations on Boca Grande but this was tops. Two families including four teens. House was spacious and comfortable --we could spend lots of time together or apart with ease. Beach was the best, even at peak times we walked alone on some days which is bliss. Seven of us slept like a dream in the three quiet and comfy rooms with super soft linens and nice en suite baths. Kitchen stocked with nearly everything we needed. Pool close but far enough away to rarely hear others use it. Golf cart access was a plus. The biggest hit? Porch bed swing. Many naps on a breezy afternoon were enjoyed, and perfect spot for a sunset cocktail. Sand dollars washed up at our feet, beach supplies (chairs, etc.) plentiful. The only downside was that we were so relaxed the week slipped by too quickly and we had to return to the cold up north. Highly recommend-- but please do not book during our one week of spring vacation. We are spoiled now and not sure anywhere else will do!

Beautiful. Spot

Tastefully decorated townhouse with all amenities enjoyed by 3 generations - nearby community pool, tennis court and quiet beach. Situated in elegant north end of Island. Only recommendation would be some outdoor furniture for back patio
