A Wonderful House in so many ways
Our second year at Mama Dear and it was so much fun enjoying this special place with kids and grandkids. The house is so warm, welcoming, comfortable and well laid out! The pool was a big hit! And being only a short stroll from the beach and downtown, for us, it was the perfect location. We never used our car. Can't wait til next year! Thank you!

Boca Grande awesome family house
We were thrilled with the Mama Dear house. It is incredibly spacious and beautifully decorated and renovated. A large entry way opens up to a huge family room on your right and dining room on the left that leads to a kitchen with top of the line appliances, and china, utensils silver. Off the family room a sitting area and off dining room a bar and coffee station. And there is a pool. Finally the pool and location are the cherry on top.

Wonderful week in Boca Grande!
We really enjoyed our week long stay at the Mama Dear House! The house is perfectly situated in town and a stones throw away from the beach. The house is very homey and comfortable and had everything we needed. We particularly loved the big dining table off the kitchen and the little games nook where my kids loved to play scrabble and card games. The pool was a great way to cool off and we used the bbq with great success. The owner Deana was very communicative and helpful with all aspects of our visit. We look forward to coming again!

Perfect location
We love this house. We have stayed here several times and it fits our family of 8 adults perfectly. The location is amazing… close to town and all the restaurants as well as the beach. We love the pool in the backyard as a place to relax and the house is fully stocked with all the cooking supplies you would need. We will definitely stay there again.

We have stayed all over on Boca and everywhere has a little something that makes it special. This property is no exception. It’s so beautifully done and has anything you would need, great location, close to everything, yet nice and quiet. A luxurious stay, extremely well kept and cared for. Would 100% be a repeat rental for us. Thanks Deana!

We have been coming to the Island since our children were small but hadn't been for a few years. We wanted a family reunion and could think of no better place and your beautiful house was the most perfect place for us all. It is exactly how you described it and more. We had the most amazing time eating outside, playing in the pool and walking to the beach. Just perfect, thank you x

The best of Boca Grande
Beautiful, historic home updated to the most modern, high-end amenities. Charming layout and close to everything. With a golf cart (which is a must) the beach is even easier to access than the beach condos. Wonderful host.

Very Nice House
We had a total of 10 people. 5 Adults and 5 kids ranging from 9 - 1. They layout of the house was great for all. Location is right in town so easy access to everything. The pool was great for the kids and the beach is a short golf cart ride away. The kitchen is very large and easy for multiple people to prepare/cook at one time. Boca Grande is a special place and full of memories for our family.

Great location
The house is lovely & had everything we needed. Located close enough to walk to the beach (or rent a golf cart!), it’s conveniently near all the village shops & restaurants. The owner was very helpful and informative. If you go in the summer though, make sure you bring OFF with DEET or something similar. The mosquitoes and sand fleas were brutal at dusk/night.

Decor was beautiful, large kitchen and dining spaces - could seat all 10 for meals at dining table. Washer/dryer up and down was nice for doing beach/pool towels. So close to shops and dining, and a short 2 minute golf cart ride to beach. Pool was lovely! Would highly recommend!
