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.

Located near the beach, this cottage is in Downtown Boca Grande Historic District, a neighborhood in Boca Grande. Whidden's Marina and Boca Grande Marina are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Englewood Beach and Gasparilla Island State Park. Discover the area's water adventures with snorkeling, water skiing, and windsurfing nearby, or enjoy the great outdoors with cycling.
