We stayed for a long weekend and cannot say enough positive about our condo experience. It was clean, well equipped, and offered a fantastic view from a large deck space. Becky (owner) was always easily available for any questions or concerns prior, during and after our stay. I would most certainly stay here again.

Super Home and Great Location
My son and I stayed at this property for a long weekend of fishing. We keep our boat at Gasparilla Marina, so we were looking for something close by.
We were very pleased with the accommodations. The home is very nicely decorated, clean, quiet, and very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped, plenty of linens were available, and the balcony was great for hanging out after a long day on the water and enjoying a cold beverage.
We will definitely return!

Everything is in perfect condition and the beds are very comfortable. It has a great view of the marina, mangroves and intercoastal.

Home away from home
This condo is exactly as I imagined. Everything was high end. We would stay there again without a doubt and would recommend it. Best part was the view and listening to the boats. Complex is gated. Minimal traffic in area. Friendly neighbors. Very clean condo, fully stocked with bath towels, kitchen items & bedding. Even had washer & dryer with all the supplies. Beds were very comfortable. Lots of beach toys for the kids. We didn't want to leave. Owner kept great communication with us. We spent 1 day at Blind Pass Beach, went onto Boca Grande a few times and even did a nature boat excursion out of Englewood. On our rainy day, we drove to Ft Myers for some shopping & lunch. All you need is sunscreen, food & toiletries.

About the host
Hosted by Becky Blankenship
We purchased this incredible condo in 2003 before construction was complete, and were astounded by the waterview from most of the rooms in the unit, and from the large screened-in lanai. We have found this to be the perfect getaway for our family with our busy lives, just to relax or to experience all the awesome activities available in the area.
Why they chose this property
This condominium is located in beautiful Boca Vista Harbor, a complex of 5 exceptionally well-constructed condo buildings, with a wonderful clubhouse, pool, hot tub, covered grill area, and lighted tennis court, right next to a modern marina with boat and dock rentals available, near restaurants, quaint shops and kayaking. We truly can't imagine a better place to get away!!!
What makes this property unique
For those who love to fish at any level, or those who would rather just wind down from the hectic pace of life, this is it!!! No loading your boat with all your supplies to go to an island. Just pull your car up to the convenient elevator, push the button for the 4th floor and you're there!!! Paradise found!!!
