    My husband and I just returned from our 2nd stay at this incredible B&B - truly one of the best we have ever visited. From Cynthia's impeccable breakfasts to evening wine and hor d' oevres, this in reeks of old world charm and class. We live nearby, but plan on visiting again and again as schedules allow!

    The Bokeelia Tarpon Inn is the perfect place for a small group getaway! Our group returns each year for a wonderful evening of fun and relaxation. Cynthia is the consumate hostess --- hors d'ouevres, wines, and is so engaging in conversation. Her full breakfast each morning is cheerfully presented - you will NOT leave the table hungry unless by choice. Each room is tastefully decorated, comfortable, with spa-like linens and bath accessories. We will continue this tradition at Bokeelia Tarpon Inn!

    We are so excited to be spending our anniversary here. It was where we got married and truly one of the prettiest views in Florida and Cynthia's doting on her guests makes you feel like a King and Queen. To sit upstairs on the porch and sip your morning coffee is truly breath-taking. This will be a yearly event for us the newlyweds of almost a year now. Thanks Cynthia for all you do. You are great and can't wait for our 3rd stay to go kayaking and see the manatees and dolphins in the coves.


    Only wish we would have stayed longer!

    My husband and I just returned from a wonderful visit at the Bokeelia Tarpon Inn. Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer! Cynthia was truley a gracious and wonderful host. We felt right at home. The mansion is beautiful and spotlessy clean. The breakfasts are wonderful and inviting. Our room was cozy and the bed was very comfortable. If you are looking for a romantic getaway....book here. The grounds are lovely and the fishing is great! It was awesome that my husband and I had a private pier all to ourselves each night. And how convenient to be able to drive the golf cart right down to the pier with all our equipment on it. A restaurant is within walking distance and others are within a golf cart ride away. There is very little traffic and a wonderful seclusion to the island. If you are looking for a place to start a new and wonderful life with someone, celebrate an anniversary, reconnect with your partner, or just steal away and disconnect from the world, you will find it here. Thank you Cynthia, we had a wonderful time and hope to be back soon. Reed and Christy Utterback Jacksonville Illinois
