BEAUTIFUL CONDO ON A BEAUTIFUL PROPERTY !!

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.

Seeing really is believing

Had a wonderful stay in Becky's condo. Everything was as advertised, the view from the large lanai was spectacular, the condo very clean, comfortable and contained absolutely everything you could need. It was delight to communicate with Becky who always responded promptly and helpfully, cannot speak highly enough of this apartment.

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!

Amazing Waterfront Getaway

This condo is immaculate, very nicely furnished, decorated and well equipped and supplied. Extremely relaxing to sit on the double width Lanai and enjoy the amazing waterfront view and boating activity. Very convenient to docks and marina next door and just a short drive to the beautiful beaches of Boca Grande. Becky is an excellent host and great with communication and detail!! Planning to return later this year and hopefully on a regular basis thereafter.

perfect location and amazing view

This was by far the most comfortable and cleanest condo we have ever stayed in. Becky thought of EVERYTHING! The kitchen was well equipped, the beds were comfortable, furniture cozy, TVs new. The screened balcony was huge with an amazing view and plenty of seating to enjoy it. Close to fishing. I cannot say enough. We are looking forward to spending more time there in the future. Great condo at a great price!

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.

Fantastic accomodation

The accomodation was beautiful-just as described-and very clean. Becky was very helpful with getting information to me regarding our stay and check in, and also in answering questions I had along the way. The location gave us easy access to Gasparilla Island, grocery store, and beautiful scenery. This property met my expectations and then some. I would highly recommend this to others.

About the host

Hosted by Becky Blankenship

Host profile image
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!!!
