Travel Note

Getting to the Island

Rental Cars are available at all airports. Please note there is a $6 fee to cross the bridge onto the island. And there are no gas stations on the island so please plan ahead. Fun Fact: Boca Grande Island is a golf cart friendly/walkable community. If you do not plan on leaving the island, a shuttle or car service from the airport may be a good option. This can be organized through the Inn's concierge or directly via one of the following services. Primetime www.primetime4u.com/ Boca Grande Limo www.bocagrandelimo.com Ubers have limited coverage for the area. While Uber might be an option to get to Boca Grande from the airport, they are hard to find in Boca Grande once it's time to leave!

Travel Note

Getting around the Island

Once you are on the island the best way to get around is by golf cart. We recommend booking your golf cart in advance of your trip to ensure availability, or coordinating with friends to share a cart for the weekend. Staying at the Inn? Book a golf cart with your room reservation.
