About Boca Grande: Boca Grande is a charming village on 7-mile-long Gasparilla Island, located between Fort Myers and Sarasota. Access to Boca Grande is via a toll bridge which keeps the Island peaceful and quiet. Legend has it that the infamous pirate Jose Gaspar once lived here in grand style. Later discoverers in the early 20th century included Boston Brahmins and other elites from the North-east, who made it a winter playground for some of the nation's most prominent families and their guests. The lure then, as it is now, was the wonderful weather and some of the world's best tarpon fishing. Boca Grande retains unusual character. Its old Florida architecture, and its small town feel (devoid of big box retailers, chain stores, etc.), make it a destination for discerning vacationers. Visitors to Boca Grande enjoy miles of beaches on the island, picnicking, fishing, swimming, shelling and boating, as well as tennis and golf.
Little House was built early in the 20th century as housing for executives of the railroad. It has been in our family continuously since the 1920s.
Note: This is as traditional a house as it gets in Boca Grande, in the best part of town. Close enough to everything you want in the village, yet just far enough way to be quiet and restful.

Summary: We have stayed at this house before. The location is outstanding but if you have a boat, you will need to find another place to keep it, as this house is not on the water but it is a very short walk to beach. Also a very short walk to downtown Boca with many shops, restaurants, etc. There are two marinas close by, can walk but quick golf cart trip, but call way in advance to get a slip. There is little market on the island but would advise a stop at Publix just a few miles before you come over the bridge to the island to stock up on provisions. During warmer months, house definitely warms up despite AC running but it cools down after sun goes down and is very comfortable at night. AC mini splits in guest house rooms work great! Blinds on all the windows in main house would probably help this. Overall the house is a dated but the location is superb and we would definitely stay here again.
