Great Room and Excellent Value
We stayed at this location to visit family who were staying in Boca Grande. We wanted a place with a little privacy that wasn't as expensive as Boca Grande and had more grocery options without being stuck behind the Boca Grande toll gate. The units are spacious and clean, with a full-size fridge and oven. My only small complaint is that we were in the bottom unit and could hear our upstairs neighbors walking around and talking. Luckily, they weren't up late at night, so it was manageable. The host has a great deal of knowledge about the area and provides a nice binder of places to go and things to see on the kitchen table. We took the ferry across the road to the private island and collected more fossilized shark teeth than we ever thought we would find. This unit would be highly recommended for multiple parties who wish to stay together. If you know two families that could utilize the top and bottom units, I would certainly recommend reaching out to this host.

Peaceful and relaxing setting
This apartment was lovely! The kitchen was well-furnished, the bed was comfortable, and the apartment was tastefully decorated. The outdoor areas were exceptional--there were plenty of places to relax and enjoy our time away from the real world. One bit of information for potential renters--bring quarters if you plan to do laundry. We loved our time here and would gladly stay again.

Near perfect stay for our biking vacation.
The condo is in great shape and really suited our needs. The kitchen had a full sink, plenty of counterspace, and a full-size fridge, stove, and microwave. Be advised that the hot tub can take up to 12 hours to heat up. Once we learned that we enjoyed using it for late-night soaks. The courtyard has a very relaxed, zen feel, despite being next to a fairly main road. The unit is close to a grocery store (1-2 miles), across the street from a nice restaurant and a very nice sidewalk extends for miles in both directions that is very good for biking. You can actually bike to two area bike trails right from the condo. The owners were very accommodating and responded promptly when we couldn't figure out the hot tub. Internet was decent, and my only minor complaint was that the cable TV came in at pre-digital resolution and was letterboxed. I think the cable box is just really old. The TV itself was fine, but if HDTV video quality is essential you will be disappointed. We would come again and would probably stay a few days longer. Some of the other guests were staying for several weeks.

Great place to stay
Last minute get away for the weekend. Had everything we needed and enjoyed having a private hot tub. Was very clean and well maintained. Would definitely go back. The only downfall was the people in the unit above us sounded they were wearing boots & moving furniture. Luckily that was only 1 night. We will go back but request the upstairs unit. Thanks for a wonderful location to stay.

We were pleasantly surprised by the location and amenities. Katja and Alex have created a wonder land of relaxation and comfort. Every effort was made to accommodate our needs. We were pleasantly surprised by the surrounding area with restaurants and beaches a short drive away. Can’t say enough of how they transformed our visit Into a place we just didn’t want to leave. We highly recommend this treasure for your visit in the area.
