About this property

Bougainvillea Beach House

Welcome to your slice of paradise on Gulf Boulevard! This charming Key West style vacation home boasts 2 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and one of the most expansive beach view balconies on the entire island. Prepare to be captivated by stunning Gulf vistas from every room (except the bathrooms), ensuring you're always surrounded by the serene beauty of the sea.

Convenience is key here, with the beach and beach access mere steps away across the street. Explore the island effortlessly by walking or hopping on the FREE Island shuttle, which conveniently stops right in front of the house every 30 minutes, whisking you away to local restaurants and the island grocery store.

Perched upstairs, this vacation rental comprises two distinct units, each offering its own private balcony. The North unit, affectionately dubbed the 'jewel' of the house, boasts luxurious touches throughout. From Travertine floors to granite countertops, tumbled marble baths, and commercial-grade stainless steel kitchen appliances, every detail exudes elegance and comfort, beckoning you to make this your annual vacation destination.

Love to barbecue? A spacious charcoal grill awaits on the balcony, allowing you to savor the view while you cook up a feast. After a day of beachcombing, unwind on the porch swing, rocking chairs, or wooden beach chairs, immersing yourself in the soothing coastal ambiance.

We've thought of everything to enhance your beach experience, providing beach chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, towels, boogie boards, and more, ensuring you have everything you need for endless fun in the sun.

For the avid angler, we've got you covered with exclusive discounts for private bay fishing excursions in the Laguna Madre. Cast your line and reel in the catch of the day, creating memories that will last a lifetime in this idyllic coastal haven. .

PERFECT SPOT

Our stay was amazing. We had a clear view of the ocean right in front of the house, the weather was perfect, and we were provided with everything we could need for a perfect beach day. All of the fun bayside bar and restaurants are walking distance from this spot. Lynn goes above and beyond to make guests comfortable.🪼

Very relaxing

Everything was as described and then some. We stayed 4 nights and had a very relaxing and enjoyable time. We really enjoyed being able to just sit outside and see the ocean from the deck. Lynn and her husband were very accommodating with helping us get around the island. Lynn recommended Tom and Jerry's for a good burger and it didn't disappoint... it was delicious! Her husband also does fishing excursions which my husband wished that he knew earlier in the trip. He definitely would have went on one. All in all we had a really great trip. If we were to return we would definitely stay here again.

Lovely stay!

Bougainvillea House was exactly as advertised and more. Lynn was a lovely host, and we had access to chairs, carts, boogie boards and sand play things, which was so convenient. The unit itself was super clean, comfy beds, fluffy towels, new appliances, loved having a w/d in the unit. Beach access was simply crossing the street and then straight through the dunes to the water. We enjoyed our stay!

Escape from Midwest weather.

We keep coming back because we have found what we want from a VRBO. Homey, clean, easy access to beach. Love sitting on the porch during the day and evening. Hostess has thought of every need for a stay at their home. Pet friendly and is set up that your dog has as much fun as you during your stay.

Beautiful condo!

Our group of 4 adults and 2 pups loved this beautiful condo. The property inside and out was welcoming. Everything in the condo was clean and it great condition. Lots of cooking supplies in a beautiful kitchen. We enjoyed the grill one evening for burgers on the deck. Comfortable deck with a beautiful view of the ocean just across the street. The master bed was super comfy. The owners were so proactive in communicating and left a very detailed binder with great information about the island restaurants and shops. Great hospitality and so friendly. I highly recommended this condo when visiting SPI.

Perfect beach getaway spot.

From the FULLY stocked kitchen, to the bag of ice, HUGE porch, beautiful sunrises right from the porch, 3/4 ocean view, super comfy bed, and name brand amenities, this property is sublime. Very clean and well maintained. Lynn and Kevin are super nice and informative. And it’s very dog friendly too! Loved it, we will be back.

Family Vacation

We aren't world travelers by any means, but we have stayed in our fair share of rental properties. This place felt like staying with neighbors or family friends. Nothing like anywhere we have ever stayed and hosted by people that are one of a kind as well. Lynn and Captain Kevin are helpful, pleasant and welcoming. They are happy to communicate with you and answer questions or give you info about the island and surrounding areas. The house is comfortable, cozy and right across the street from a beach access. Not to mention walking distance (literally less than 10 minutes) from food, shops and activities. The house feels like a home and not like a hotel room or vacation condo. We really enjoyed ourselves and any time we head back to SPI from now on I can't imagine staying with anyone else.

Fantastic Stay Right By the Beach

This vacation was just amazing. We had our three boys with us, age 8, 10 and 12 - Lynn set up a cot bed between the twin beds for my third son without us even asking. She greeted us when we arrived and made herself available - but they had already thought of everything. From the book with thoughtful reviews of all the restaurants on the island to the variety of chairs on the porch with the gorgeous beach view, she and Captain Kevin had gone above and beyond. Besides that, we were right across from the beach, and right next to a grocery store, which just made everything so easy. We are hoping to make this an annual trip.

Great beach house in the perfect location!

Wish we could have stayed longer! This awesome beach house is in the perfect location. The beach is just across the street, and many restaurants are within walking distance. We stayed over the July 4th holiday and walked a short distance to watch fireworks at Jim's Pier. We also played putt-putt at Gravity Park and then finished up the evening with a custom cookie ice cream sandwhich at The Baked Bear. Walking home was great as it allowed us to avoid the traffic! The owners were great and we hope to stay here again in the future.

We loved our stay at the Bougainvillea Beach House! The layout was great for the four of us and our dog and we loved having three bathrooms. The unit was nicely equipped and came stocked with beach chairs, coolers, wagons, etc. The owners were very welcoming and communicated well. We would definitely stay here again if ever in the area.
