Bokeelia Tarpon Inn: "Wonderful place!"
Oct 2006

I used bestfortmyersdining.com (as I always do) for suggestions when we visit Fort Myers and Naples area. This historic B & B got rave reviews from bestcitydining.com - and now we know why! It is a large plantation-style old house at the very tip of Pine Island in Bokeelia overlooking the sea. It has been beautifully restored with original floors, wonderful furniture and paintings. There are 5 big en-suite bedrooms, all very different, immaculately clean, with wooden plantation shutters and all sorts of extra touches you would never find in a modern hotel. The bedrooms lead onto a huge screened veranda with rattan chairs, wonderful views and even binoculars left for you to use and watch the wildlife.
Downstairs there is a large lounge with wonderfully comfortable chairs and dining area and a separate study , and outside in the gardens rocking chairs on the veranda - just so relaxing. Check out their website for their photos and video-tour; it will give you an idea of how lovely it is.
they prepare breakfast, which was truly the best we have had on any holiday - all sorts of fresh fruit, home-baked muffins, choice of fried breakfast and their own special home-made mango preserves - just delicious. In the evening they prepare a range of hors d'oeuvres for their guests which they leave in the kitchen with a note to eat what you like, and help yourselves to wine, beers, spirits etc!!! check swfloridarewards.com for coupons for breakfast and lunch specials.
