The Distinction Nothing compares.
Our Story As the island's market leader, Gulf to Bay has been a trusted name in the Boca Grande real estate market for almost four decades.
In 2005, Gulf to Bay was chosen to become one of the first affiliates of the global powerhouse Sotheby's, and established Gulf to Bay Sotheby's International Realty. Our partnership combined our extensive local real estate knowledge with Sotheby's world-renowned brand and marketing prowess.
Our team comprises 17 full-time real estate professionals, led by industry veteran and managing broker Karen Danner.
We are dedicated to providing exceptional representation to our clients. As Boca Grande?s local link to a global brand with unparalleled expertise in marketing and selling unique properties at every price point both nationally and internationally, Gulf to Bay Sotheby?s International Realty continues to lead the way. In 2022 alone, we have surpassed $151 million in Boca Grande Island sales.

About Us Gulf to Bay Real Estate has been a trusted local fixture on Gasparilla Island since the early 1980s. Sotheby's International Realty, a renowned marketer for some of the world's most prized possessions, became a global leader in representing luxury homes in 1976. In 2003, Gulf to Bay and Sotheby?s International Realty merged to form a powerhouse partnership that has been locally owned and operated for over 20 years. Together, they offer unparalleled expertise and an unwavering commitment to exceptional service, delivering innovative solutions and invaluable insights to buyers and sellers in the luxury real estate market. Gulf to Bay Sotheby?s knowledgeable and fully engaged local real estate professionals use powerful marketing in print, web, social media, and exclusive memberships for superior exposure, and are connected to thousands of affiliates and discerning clients from across the globe. As a result, Gulf to Bay Sotheby?s has earned a solid foothold, year after year, as the market leader on Gasparilla Island and beyond. Locally, our history speaks volumes to our dedication to building a flourishing community while maintaining an Old Florida environment. Our professional associates have extensive knowledge, commitment to the island, and a thorough understanding of our markets. Some were born on the island, many raised (and are raising) their children here, and others found the jewel of an island serendipitously and knew this was home. Over the years, many of our associates have worked as founding members and volunteers of local organizations such as the Island School, Health Clinic, Conservation & Improvement Association, Water Association, Women?s Association, Chamber, and Friends of BG. Some have adopted beloved pets from, or led the Suncoast Humane Society, protected turtle eggs with the Sea Turtle Association, and volunteered as EMTs for island emergencies. Our reach extends deep into the Cape Haze Peninsula, Placida, and beyond as homeowners, volunteers, and board members. Our commitment to community involvement is just one reason why Gulf to Bay Sotheby?s is the top real estate company on Boca Grande, having sold more real estate than any other company in the past 20 years. Our success continues to grow from Cape Haze to Port Charlotte.
