The property is updated, cozy, well maintained and very close to the beach. Our stay there was great!

We had a perfect week in Boca Grande, and this house played a huge role in that. It was absolutely wonderful for our group of 8. We could walk to the beach----plenty of manatees and the fishing was excellent. I wish that South Beach had re-opened in time for our visit, but we missed it by a couple of weeks. That would have been perfect for lunches and dinners. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful house. Very well-equipped. Owners are super easy to deal with and so nice.

had a great time. Location great, beaches perfect, house very functional and the decks are outstanding. Only issue we had was the rugs on the floors slipped very easily. Suggest you put down some rubber backing to eliminate any slipping accidents.

We had such an amazing time in Boca Grande due to staying in this beautiful home! It allows easy access to the beach, close to everything yet peaceful, stocked with anything for your needs, and the most amazing views from the 3 balcony's that give access to the most beautiful sunsets. A must stay!

Nice house that is comfortable with good bedrooms, great bathrooms, and plenty of outdoor space. Location is away from town, which makes it a bit quieter and still plenty of beach access steps away. Would rent again!

The house was great. The pictures don't do it justice. The interior is very good and whilst there was only 2 of us I can imagine with 8 it would still feel roomy. The balconies were great. It is much closer to the beach than you think, you could hear the waves! And finally whilst it looks a little far from town it is is no longer than 5mins by car or golf cart. A real gem. I would stay again!

We absolutely loved our stay here! The house was clean, well appointed, very comfortable, and perfect for our family — and no one got stuck in a "kid room" :) The covered porches were great for afternoon reading, the ship's watch had a great view, and the walk to the beautiful beach was easy peasy. We found Boca Grande to be just our speed, low key and quiet. Everyone we spoke to was nice, and even though it was right before the 4th weekend, we didn't find anywhere to be too busy. Don't miss South Beach for dinner, it was the best food we had on the island. We would happily return here, and I hope we get the chance to!

We had a fabulous week! The house couldn’t be closer to the beach—very easy to run back up to the house to grab something or cool off for a bit. The outdoor shower was very nice and very useful. Having en suite bathrooms for each bedroom was perfect for our big family. The window treatments kept the light out and allowed us to sleep in. We appreciated the generous supply of beach towels. We will return! Thank you!

We enjoyed hearing the ocean, playing at the beach, seeing the tarpon fishing boats from the porches and being walking distance to South Beach for cold drinks and amazing fresh seafood. A very special area for making memories with our children!

We had an amazing stay at this property ! We were very impressed with how clean everything was and how quiet it was. Being so close to the beach made it a breeze to run back up to the house to get anything ! I will definitely stay again whenever we are back down there.

My family and I loved this home and we will be back again! The house was absolutely lovely. It is newly renovated home, decorated in a beautiful beach decor, and very well kept. The layout in the home is perfect, with a dining area for six and a spacious kitchen. The balconies have the most incredible views of the sunset. There is a lot of detail put into this home and you can see it every where you look. Boca Grande is a hidden gem and a must see! Thank you to Brittany and family…We had the best family vacation!!

We absolutely loved everything about Osprey Nest!! The owners could not have been more pro-active and available. We had zero problems. The weather was perfect and everything about the house worked perfectly. Lots of beach chairs and plenty of towels. The house was extremely clean and very well appointed. We can't wait to return!!

We were 7 people- 4 adults and 3 kids and we all loved our stay at the Osprey Nest in Boca Grande! Steps to the beach and the Lighthouse State Park and Museum- we just walked across the street !!
We had beautiful weather and enjoyed watching the sunset from our front porch! The house is gorgeous - 4 suites on 2 floors , plenty of room to spread out ! Can’t wait to come back❤️

We had a great extended family beach week. Home is beautiful, clean and well maintained. Only issue on arrival was addressed immediately by the owner (within an hour!!). No complaints at all. We'd love to return. Might choose to come back when everything on the island is open. We were there the end of September when "season" hadn't yet commenced. Most stores and some restaurants weren't open. That's not a complaint---just an observation. We knew that before we went.

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home at a great location on Boca Grande. This house had everything we needed for our weeks stay and the owners were great to work with! Beautiful views and only steps to the beach. We can’t wait to return!

Location, location, location! This house is located at the end of the island with easy access to the beach, lighthouse, & south beach restaurant. We were celebrating our daughters’ and our friend’s son high school graduation before they head off to college. This was an excellent stay and the house was beautiful! The owner was very accessible & accommodating with all our questions. Highly recommend!!!

We had a wonderful two weeks here. We have been going to Gasparilla on and off for 30+ years and have never stayed at the very end of the island and what a treat it was! Beautiful views, easy walk to two beaches, and state park. Sunset awesome. The main level porch was wonderful. Beds comfy, kitchen well stocked for cooking and communication with owner fantastic! We already booked for 2022!

Noise and cleanliness were the two main issues which should not have been that way in that price category. The location and crows nest with the 360 view of the sea and island were the two huge plusses. The exterior of the house was very neglected and we did not expect that. Cushions inside and on patio were dirty with stains and dog hair. Some cushions were moldy, we didnt use them and with a baby it would have been nice to be able to do just that. Seating at dining table and living room was very tight and uncomfortable.Backyard was neglected as well. From what the description on the website sounds everything should have been in better condition. It was a disappointment in every other way than the location. Sounds from the living area were easily heard in the bedroom upstairs and the same floor. Sleeping members of the family were able to hear a phone vibrating in other bedrooms or living room.With the payment fully paid and the high fees we expected a well maintained house.Breakers were all tripped at the house when we arrived, noone had been there for at least 3 days, water pooled in the bottom of the freezer. Mosquitoes were covering the patio in a layer . We started by cleaning after arrival. I informed the owners politely and spoke to them but other than excuses for the situation no action was taken. I would have not charged the cleaning fee at least. We loved the island but were very disappointed about the house. We will return to Gasparilla soon but in another rental.
