Watch the boats pass quietly by at idle speed from your porch directly overlooking the Boca Grande Bayou if you rent this 2 bedroom, 3 full bathroom elevated boat house. Main living area is accessible only by 24 step staircase.

Completely renovated in November 2017, this stylishly furnished and exceptionally well equipped home is now available for weekly, monthly or seasonal rentals. Three night minimum off season rental also considered. One well behaved dog is permitted. No other animals. The beautifully furnished living room offers a brand new, 55 inch Sony Bravia flat screen television. The boat house’s private dock on the Bayou can accommodate your 22 foot boat.

This boat house is located on a quiet, secluded street in the Boca Grande Historic District one block east of the Boca Grande bike path and only a few blocks east of the Boca Grande beaches. You can walk, bike or golf cart into town on the bike path.

Kitchen is designed and well equipped for the enthusiastic cook. Beautiful and functional fully equipped gourmet kitchen, new in 2017, with stainless steel appliances including gas stove, 3 door refrigerator, dishwasher, disposal, elegant neutral Caesarstone countertops, white all wood cabinets and Calphalon cookware will make vacation cooking quick and easy. Rectangular indoor dining table seats six. Outdoor round dining set on upper porch seats four or more guests. Separate laundry room with washer and dryer and brand new Oreck vacuum cleaner makes quick clean-ups easy. Professional cleaning service is available on a weekly basis at additional cost. Tenants for longer than two week rentals are required to use this bi-weekly cleaning service. That’s how we keep this house sparkling clean for our guests.

Each of the two spacious bedrooms offers a king sized bed and its own en suite private full bathroom (one new in 2017) well stocked with white hotel quality towels and new linens, blankets, and pillows and beach towels. House sleeps four in beds. Your visitors can access the third full bathroom directly from the living room.

The upper level screened porch is fully furnished with white, Lloyd Flanders, all weather wicker cushioned sofa, four cushioned arm chairs, one cushioned ottoman and a matching outdoor, glass topped round dining set directly overlooking the Boca Grande Bayou.

Covered parking is provided for two cars and driveway parking for an additional two cars or for your rented golf carts and rented bicycles.

Amazing location

Very unique property situated on a secluded bay filled with dolphins and manatees. Well appointed and comfortable. Fish swimming at night around the snook light in the giant boat dock was amazing. Short walk or golf cart to dinner or the beach. We will be back!!

Great Location on Boca Grande

The location of property is ideal with a short cart ride into town. Beach access is a short walk away and the scenic views from the house make it a wonderful getaway location. Communication with the owner was very timely and we were very happy with our choice to stay at the Boca Grande Bayou Boat House.

All members of my family enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. I especially enjoyed relaxing on the porch overlooking the waterway and watching the dolphins and manatees. You couldn't find a better place to observe them! I can't think of a single negative thing to say. Our stay was delightful.

Wonderful Property

This property is very tastefully renovated and well appointed with all the items you will need for your stay. The water view from the screened porch is fantastic and a great place for relaxation. Everything is provided for your beach visit just one block away. I do recommend a golf cart rental to truly experience the island. The property owner was quick to respond for any questions we had during our stay. Another very nice touch was the clear labeling for all lights and fixtures. Definitely plan to stay at this property again.
