About this house rental

Just moments from the sandy Gulf shoreline and a short walk to the charming streets of Boca Grande's Historic District, Gilchrist Manor has an unforgettable setting for your island escape. This grand 6-bedroom, 5-bath coastal estate blends timeless architecture with modern updates, comfortably accommodating up to 12 guests in refined style.
The primary suite showcases a king bed and spa-like en suite bath, while three additional bedrooms—each with a queen bed—offer serene retreats filled with natural light. Two additional bedrooms feature twin bunk beds, creating a playful and convenient setup for younger guests. Throughout the home, thoughtful updates balance historic charm with modern comfort, highlighted by the fully appointed kitchen with butcher block countertops, premium appliances, and space designed for effortless entertaining.
A formal dining room invites memorable gatherings, while the enclosed sunroom, complete with air conditioning, offers a tranquil spot to unwind with a book, sip morning coffee, or enjoy views of the lush grounds. A front porch and expansive yard provide more places to relax, whether hosting sunset cocktails or savoring a barbecue beneath swaying palms.
Boca Grande itself is the epitome of island elegance. From Gilchrist Manor, you are just steps from pristine beaches where turquoise waters meet seven miles of powder-soft sand. Stroll into town to discover boutique shops, fine dining, and art galleries, or explore the island by golf cart or bicycle. Fishing, boating, golf, and tennis are all within easy reach, while spectacular Gulf sunsets create the perfect close to each day.
For larger gatherings, Gilchrist Manor is one of three residences on this historic estate, which also includes the Fish House and Coastal Chic. Each may be rented individually or together to accommodate extended groups.
Additional amenities include Wi-Fi, smart TVs, air conditioning, a washer and dryer, and concierge services to ensure every detail of your stay is seamless.
Gilchrist Manor is more than a vacation home—it's a piece of Boca Grande history reimagined for modern luxury living, offering the perfect balance of elegance, comfort, and island charm.

Great house and in a great location on Boca Grande. Very close to the beach and downtown for fun shopping and restaurants. The house had plenty of room for our family of 6 and everyone loved it.

We stayed at the property during a recent fishing trip with friends/family. The house perfectly fit our group and had everything we needed. We enjoyed our stay at the cottage and highly recommend this rental for any group visiting the island.
6 / 10Average·Jun 2025
The property has an AMAZING location, one lot from the beach, and walking distance into the heart of Boca Grande. Its a nice layout, spacious and the rooms felt private given that three unrelated business associates were staying there. The family room with TV was large and had newer furniture that was clean and fit the BG vibe. The rest of the house could use updating as the furniture and rugs are a bit tired. The A/C can not be set to below 72 degrees and while there this past week, the heat and humidity was unbearable so that house felt stuffy to me. I would suggest the management company provide tissues, and better TP. We did find bathmats after inquiring with the mgmt company as only one of the bathrooms (we used 3 total) had bathmats stocked in them.
