About this house rental
We're delighted to report that we had very little hurricane damage; just a giant mess to clean up. We're back online as of 10/29/2024! Brand new rebuild following Hurricane Ian. Professionally designed and decorated home located just steps from the sand. Location, location, location! 1 min walk to the beach or 7 mins walk to restaurants, bars and shopping.
TWO master suites with king beds, bedroom with queen and twin beds, and another room with a queen bed and a twin XL trundle. Bathed in warm, tropical earth tones, this home features beautiful hardwood floors throughout the living areas and high-end custom tile bathrooms. The 'upside down' floor plan features four bedrooms on the entrance floor and a breathtaking top floor with 15-foot cathedral ceilings with a brightly lit cupola. Brand new stainless steel appliances. Beautiful quartz countertops. Three separate porch sitting areas stunning views. Additional shaded breezy seating and outdoor sitting on ground level.
This is widely regarded as the best street on the island, with nightly sunset gatherings with our full-time resident neighbors and other guests. You'll never want to leave! All are welcomed to join "Wednesdays on Wilhelm!" A beloved and well-known tradition on the island, all are welcome to BYOB and a favorite dish to share at this fun beach party - every Wednesday during the winter months. Grab you flip flops and beach chair and meet other guests and residents at sunset. Good vibes all around!
Kick back, chill out and grill. All you need is food, drinks and your bathing suit. We’re not kidding, we have it all. Enjoy the most beautiful and undiscovered beach in Florida. We offer high speed internet and 2 extra monitors for remote workers, and plenty of books and games, so make yourself at home.
If you're wild about nature, you will love the quick stroll to Stump Pass Park. There are 265 acres of sandy trails, boating and miles of pristine beaches. The wildlife is amazing. Artists and sun worshippers aren’t the only species drawn to our little island. Our breathtaking beach is also popular with wildlife and ecotourists. It isn’t unusual to be joined by a heron on your walk, see a pelican fishing as you throw out your line, or perhaps you’ll come across a dolphin at play while kayaking the blue waters. Take a walk on the wild side and watch the sea turtle nests come alive with hatchlings May 1 to October 31.
Another fun amenity for the island is the "Stumpy Bus", a volunteer-run free shuttle in the form of a decorated 8-seat golf cart. Grab a cocktail and hop on board to most of the bars/restaurants on the island. They work for tips so bring some cash to share the love!
Finding fossilized sharks teeth is a favorite find of beach walkers and you will find many among the mounds of shells. Snorkel in the crystal clear water for sand dollars and everything tropical. Put up your umbrella because there’s lots of room. We’re just far enough from the public beach that you can enjoy the sunsets undisturbed but close enough (7 mins walk) to the snack bar, basketball hoops and volleyball amenities at the public beach should you decide to venture outside your private beach bubble.
For all you fishing enthusiasts, the area is the second largest marine estuary in the state. You will find hundreds of species in our waters. Nearby Boca Grand is the official “Tarpon Capital of the World”. The area has dozens of boat ramps so bring your boat. We have plenty of room to park. (Local boat rentals are also available through local businesses.)
In addition to being renowned for its fishing, Boca Grande is widley regarded as the most exclusive coastal enclave in Florida and you'll marvel at the historic and famous Gasparilla Inn. Great shopping and restaurants. Keep your eyes open for celebrities, who regularly vacation here. Take a 20 minute drive to a different world! Rent a golf cart while you're there and drive down Banyon Street, one of the most famous streets in Florida.

If you’re looking for a relaxed, old Florida vacation with access to the beach, restaurants, golf, beach yoga and amazingly kind and friendly neighbors, this house is perfect! The owners went out of their way to make sure our stay was perfect, from booking to leaving. That’s is the most well appointed home we have ever stayed in. We can’t wait to return!!

We loved our stay at this property. It’s very close to the beach as well as the park and restaurants. It’s nicely updated and kitchen is well appointed. Having two master suites was ideal for our set up. Our host was very responsive and helpful, and every light switch is labeled which I loved. We plan to stay here every year!

The house was perfect for us. We had 6 adults and 5 children and there was plenty of room for everyone. The furnishings were just what we needed and we loved the layout of the house. I can't think of anything that we could complain about.

Perfect Easter/Spring BreK
Lovely and very well equipped home steps from the beach. Perfect for a family getaway. Very low key area- don’t expect tons of shops and restaurants in walking distance, but there are a few good choices. Plus, it is a perfect home for dining in our on the covered deck overlooking the Gulf. Amazing sunsets and great shelling and shark tooth collecting. Thank you!

Girls Week
Booked the property several months ago. A week before our arrival, the property owner contacted us about an outbreak of “red tide”. She offered a refund or to rebook our stay. We decided to keep our trip.
The house is lovely, very clean. The stairs were a challenge, especially when arriving and departing, with luggage and supplies.
Overall the stay was enjoyable, even with the less than favorable weather conditions. And the owner could not have been more accommodating.
Thank you Lynda, we appreciate your consideration.

Amazing house and views!
This house was so clean and felt like home away from home. There was so much room to spread out and move around, especially with children. The views from the upper porch were amazing - sunset and sunrise views from the same porch!! Would definitely stay here again.
5.0 / 10.0
This is the best house we have found yet for a family beach trip. We absolutely loved the sunrises and sunsets from the deck each and every day! A short walk to beach made it convenient to take breaks whenever necessary. We only wished for more sand without shells for walking more. Some of the recommended restaurants were just great! We especially loved the scallops and exceptional live entertainment at Beach Road Bistro and Waverly’s. A gem indeed! Thank you.

Fantastic stay on Manasota Key
The property was wonderful, clean and exactly as described. We enjoyed the views of the gulf and the bay, the wonderful patios facing both north and south and the quick walk to the beach. We would love to return. Thank you for sharing your place with us!

The perfect location
This house is perfectly situated so that you can watch the sunrise and sunset from the expansive decks, steps from the beach! What more could you want? It has great layout, was comfortable, and clean. Anything you could need in the kitchen should you choose to cook is available with a big dining room table, and several places to dine outdoors. The people in this very casual area are so friendly. The gentleman , Bob from Minnesota, who does the forecast written in shells each day as you walk onto the beach is the nicest guy. Be sure to say hello if you catch him during his stay there. We needed a few more beach chairs, and Linda responded immediately with an easy solution. I would definitely return to this area and this house!

Eight years in a row and still the best house, beach, and owners. There is nothing better than sitting on the beach or on the deck watching the water or sunset. We would recommend the rental to anyone and can't wait for our next visit.

Perfect family getaway
The views, floor plan and neighborhood made this place ideal. You can watch the sunset from the main room and covered deck or take the short walk to the beach to celebrate it with the neighbors. The house is situated in the middle of a quiet street, but still close enough to listen to the surf. The bedrooms are great for two families as there are two masters and none of the bedrooms share a wall. The kitchen is well stocked and plenty of beach gear can be found in the storage closet. The location is perfect as you’re close to many restaurants and groceries just across the bridge, but not so close that you have to listen to them all night long. We hope to be back soon!

A fabulous getaway!!
This property is just as listed in the pictures!! It's a lovely, inviting home that was very comfortable for the 8 of us. My family and our friends went. There were 4 adults and 4 kids. We were just steps away from the beach, which is where we spent most of our time. The men fished every day and caught numerous fish which we ate for dinner! So delicious!! Easy fishing right from the beach and they also rented a boat one day. We took the kids parasailing and jet skiing too, which is available right down the road. The best part for me was the shelling!! I walked the beach every day and found plenty of lovely shells. My favorite tiki bar was very close and we visited often! The neighbors are very friendly and inviting. We enjoyed our week so much that we hope to do it again next year!
