Boca Grande awesome family house

We were thrilled with the Mama Dear house. It is incredibly spacious and beautifully decorated and renovated. A large entry way opens up to a huge family room on your right and dining room on the left that leads to a kitchen with top of the line appliances, and china, utensils silver. Off the family room a sitting area and off dining room a bar and coffee station. And there is a pool. Finally the pool and location are the cherry on top.

Wonderful week in Boca Grande!

We really enjoyed our week long stay at the Mama Dear House! The house is perfectly situated in town and a stones throw away from the beach. The house is very homey and comfortable and had everything we needed. We particularly loved the big dining table off the kitchen and the little games nook where my kids loved to play scrabble and card games. The pool was a great way to cool off and we used the bbq with great success. The owner Deana was very communicative and helpful with all aspects of our visit. We look forward to coming again!

Perfect location

We love this house. We have stayed here several times and it fits our family of 8 adults perfectly. The location is amazing… close to town and all the restaurants as well as the beach. We love the pool in the backyard as a place to relax and the house is fully stocked with all the cooking supplies you would need. We will definitely stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Deana Macdonald

Our parents, Ben and Dolores Treece purchased and moved this historic home off the Gasparilla Inn Property for preservation purposes and my family enjoyed may vacations here going up while our parents homesteaded here when not at their Asheville, NC home. In 2019, 3 siblings with the help of our spouses began the 2 year process of commissioning a historical architect, consultant and residential building to approve, plan and execute a historical rebuild. Construction began in August 2020 and was completed April 2021. This home has been upgraded in every way for the entertainment and enjoyment of our family and our guests. All windows are now hurricane and wind rated, central air and heat throughout, gas fireplace, appliances are Wolf and Subzero with an infra-red TEC Grill by the pool. It is now a 5 bedroom/5 bath home, all with closets, bathes and TVs. We have added a private pool, garage and irrigated landscaping. There are books and games for kids or for those who haven't forgotten how to be one. Our parents loved family and enjoyed entertaining friends. We encourage you to make your own happy memories in this space and on this island. Enjoy!
