The Boca Grande Resort is located about 3.7 miles (a 6 minute car ride or a 10-minute golf card ride) from the Gasparilla Inn. This island-themed hotel is a good option with lots of rooms plus a pool, restaurant and Kappy's Market onsite.

*Guests selecting this option will not will not have access to the Gasparilla Inn facilities but there is an onsite pool and multiple public beach access points around the island.

1. Split a car rental with another couple or a few friends
*Feel free to reach out to us for suggestions of who you may be able to split with!

2. Uber (Approx. $100-$150)
* Be sure to get your Uber driver's contact info and pre-schedule your Sunday return trip. Ubers/Cabs aren't allowed on the island so they can only drop you off - you cannot order an Uber from the island.

3. Book a private driver through the Gasparilla Inn at (941) 964-2201
* This is generally the most expensive option if you're travelling as a couple or in a smaller group, however, if you get a large SUV, van, stretch limo, or shuttle bus and split it several ways, it could end up being the most affordable.

We encourage you reserve a golf cart or bicycle before you get to the island so they don't run out! Golf carts are the best (and most fun!) way to get around. Feel free to reach out if you'd like help finding golf cart buddies to split it with! However, if you don't want a golf cart, that's ok - its only a 3-mile island so you can walk to most everything!

Staying at the Inn? Book a golf cart with your room reservation.

If not, you can rent a golf cart through one the following:
