Bokeelia Blast
We enjoyed staying at Bokeelia Blast. The area is quiet and relaxing, a great place to decompress. The house is bright, warm and welcoming. The lush gardens were beautiful and we utilized the expansive lanai with pool. Kerry our host was very knowledgeable about the area especially about local restaurants with yummy food and nightly entertainment. We loved our home away from home.
Very nice, clean & safe neighborhood. Owner lives near by & an excellent resource about places to eat, visit etc. Everything is safe with having both pets & children including the pool which is heated, large & immaculately clean. Even has a Tiki hut with a TV. Has TV streaming & internet. Hope to return next year for 2 weeks & the bridge is completed. 10 PAWS review from our 2 rescue dogs !!!
This is the second time we have stayed at this property. Kerry is extremely accessible and accommodating. The property is tucked back off the beaten path in a residential neighborhood, which makes it very quiet and relaxing. They pool is beautiful, and the home is perfect for a small family like ours - two nice-sized bedrooms and two full baths. Beds are super comfortable. Kitchen is very well-appointed. Sitting on the back porch at night is my favorite thing to do - the sounds of nature often lulled me to sleep. Thanks again for a great stay, Kerry!

From the Owner: "Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that you felt the air conditioning was not sufficient. Our Wi-Fi thermostat showed that the system was running and maintaining the temperature around 75°F, which can be challenging to achieve when outdoor temperatures are near 95°F. To help circulate the cool air more efficiently, we recommend using the ceiling fans, which is a common practice in Florida homes.Regarding the Wi-Fi, it was functioning properly during your stay, but I understand there was some confusion with the password. I also apologize if any items were left in the refrigerator or drawers. This is not our standard, and I’ve addressed this with our cleaning team to ensure it doesn’t happen again.We strive to make every guest as comfortable as possible and appreciate your input so we can continue improving."

Lied abut location and pool
Owner lied about the pool heater working. Owner didn’t heat it and it took several days to warm. Owner lied about hurricane Milton. He knew the hurricane came through but didn’t tell us. The bridge had a 40 minute delay to cross with continued construction. Owner was recently at the property and lied to us that the hurricane was two years ago. Despite the area piers, restaurants and stores being damaged, the owner wouldn’t let us out of the rental early. I’m concerning suing.

Hi Sharlene, we want our guests to have a seamless vacation, so we’re sorry to hear some aspects of your trip didn’t meet expectations. After discussing your feedback with the homeowner, they’d like to share the following:- We apologize for any inconvenience. Guests are required to request and pay the pool heat fee at the time of booking or prior to arrival. Unfortunately, we did not receive a request for the pool heat until after your arrival. Upon request the pool heat was turned on. It may take time to heat, especially in colder weather due to the pool’s depth.- The area is still recovering from the recent hurricane. While most roads, restaurants, and attractions are open, the bridge construction is part of ongoing efforts. Delays have been minimal, but we encourage guests to check local conditions before booking and arrival.The homeowner values transparency and appreciates your feedback on the property and surrounding area.Thank you for sharing your concerns. We’d love the chance to host you again and provide the 5-star experience we strive for!
We really enjoyed our stay here, property had everything you could want including golf cart and heated pool. In the evenings one of the most quietest places I've ever stayed with the short ride on the golf cart to the gulf and local restaurant or water taxi to the other islands near by. Will definitely be back.
The house is a little hard to find, because GPS has a sense of humor. The house is well worth it, the neighborhood is quiet,
the pool was wonderful. I would go back tomorrow if I could, my wife and daughter also approved. Life is good

Golf course less than a mile. If you are looking for a quiet place to stay after a day of exploring this cottage is for you. The owners pride of ownership is very evident.. We will definitely be back.

Our daughters loved the beautiful pool, they just wanted to stay at the each day enjoying the pool.
The cottage was so clean and homey for our Spring Break. Our daughters enjoyed the master sweet walk in closet, big bathroom, shower, and tv. We loved the big couch and tv in the living room for naps and family time. And the best part was the private screened in swimming pool. It was so clean and very relaxing for all of us. Great family time! We also enjoyed the Lenai for morning coffee and girl talks! We feel this was our best Spring Break in many years!

Home away from home in a tropical setting
We stayed at this beautiful cottage for 17 days. The property was exactly as described. It was truly a spotless home away from home with everything you could need. We met the owner on arrival, who was a very friendly and accommodating host. The property is in a peaceful location for those looking for a relaxing getaway, but close enough to shopping and activities. The neighborhood was quiet and friendly. The entire area is a great place for walking and cycling with a bike path from Bokellia to St James city. We enjoyed eating at local restaurants, visiting the Bokeelis pier, tasting the samples at Promised Land Mango and exploring Malatcha. There are many more activities to do in the area including ferry service to the islands, but we were just as happy to relax by the pool in the lanai, or enjoy a cool drink in the Tiki hut.
If you are looking for a relaxing get away in a peaceful location, this is a great spot. We look forward to ur next visit
