Bokeelia Tarpon Inn for Bed and Breakfast Golf Holidays in Pine Island, Florida

ROMANTIC WATERFRONT FLORIDA BED & BREAKFAST JUST NORTH OF FT. MYERS AND SANIBEL ISLAND, FLORIDA ON PRISTINE PINE ISLAND, PERFECT FOR WEDDINGS AND VACATIONS FISHING AND GOLF

This Florida Bed & Breakfast is located on the very northern tip of tropical Pine Island in our own little world far removed from the "new" Florida of high-rises and traffic congestion. The only "high-rises" are the palm trees, and the only "commuters" are the migratory birds. Pine Island, on Florida's Gulf Coast, is accessible by car.

You will enjoy the relaxed pace and warm hospitality of our Bed & Breakfast Inn, along with Bokeelia's several fine restaurants and small artsy shops. Don't forget, Ft. Myers many attractions are not far.

Relax while viewing the panorama of Charlotte Harbor, wake to an expanded tropical breakfast, take to the water for some of the finest tarpon fishing in Florida, go golfing nearby, and enjoy evening cocktails and hors d'oeuvres under lavender sunsets.

THE TARPON INN & AMENITIES
Pine Island's, 3 diamond AAA rated Bed and Breakfast.  Winner 2004 and 2005 of the Donal Dermody White Glove Award for Excellence in Housekeeping. And 2005 "Above and Beyond" award from Superior Small Lodging Association.

We at the Bokeelia Tarpon Inn have always understood that one of the greatest attractions for the fisherman is the setting. The opportunity to lose oneself in the quiet beauty of nature is surely one of the sport's greatest appeals.

The Inn, which occupies the historic Poe-Johnson home, is located on Bocilla Island overlooking Charlotte Harbor. Guests are afforded magnificent views of the Harbor and its flats, rustic old Florida fishing piers and, across the Harbor, Boca Grande, Bull and Turtle Bays, and Punta Gorda.

Constructed in 1914, the Poe-Johnson home is one of the earliest buildings on the island. This home was chosen by the family for the same reason it was built - peace, serenity and sunsets. The mansion has been lovingly restored and, except for new landscaping, roof and painting, it accurately depicts the original external structure.

The interior has been renovated to accommodate an upscale Bed and Breakfast, yet great care was taken to preserve its original charm. It remains a home.
