About this property

Island paradise right off the west coast of Florida! Beautiful barrier lsland!!!

Little Gasparilla Island is a hidden paradise located between Ft. Myers and Sarasota. Our fully furnished, excellent located home is on an island that is accessible by private boat or water taxi. There are no formal commercial establishments on the island such as restaurants or grocery stores. There are no paved roads on the lsland, only miles of sandy trails flanked by tropical foliage. Take long leisurely walks or travel by golf cart down these paths to explore the beauty of the island. The peaceful, uncrowded beach provides plenty of room for you to bathe in the sun all day, enjoy outstanding shelling, bird watching, swimming, snorkeling, playing with your children, and beautiful water views but the best of all, the brilliant sunsets that ends a perfect day. There is great fishing to be had by all that drop a line. Snook, Trout, Redfish, Snapper and more, in the world famous Boca Grande Pass you can try your hand at Tarpon fishing. GLI is the ideal place to get way from the mainland madness. and unwind in a secluded tropical paradise. If none of that can get you off the couch, there is always internet.👍😉

Bay Street
This was our first time to LGI. The location of this property was great and the sunsets were amazing. The house had all the amenities you would need for your stay so pack light. We did not use half the clothes we brought, and we did not use any of the beach toys, or towels, we brought. We saw dolphins everyday along with sea turtles on the beach at sunset. There were star fish and sand dollars everywhere at the sandbar. We Kayaked everyday as well. The mosquitos were the worst I had ever seen. Bring lots of bug spray no matter how much we applied we were covered in bug bites. The island needs to be fogged more often. Also bring ant traps or bug traps. Not sure what bugs they were but they were everywhere. They over the counters and baseboards even had them in our suitcase so we had to wash everything weather we wore it or not. From my understanding this is an island issue with many of the houses. This will not keep us from coming back we will just better prepare next time.

Home away from home
We stayed at the property for the last week of February. After arriving by water taxi at our dock it was only a short walk to the house. Everything was nice and clean and ready for us to settle right in for week of relaxation. The only issue we had was the grill was out of propane. After contacting the owner she had one dropped off the next day. Problem solved. We had the most perfect weather for the whole week we were there. Coming from northern Michigan that is exactly what we needed.. Although we didn’t use them, there were kayaks to use and many other beach amenities to play with. I did make use of the surf rod holders, I had brought my own fishing poles. I was able to even land some fish to cook up on the grill. The beach was only a couple hundred foot walk to the beach for some spectacular sunsets. We also scheduled a couple fishing charters for the week and we’re able to be picked up right from our dock. Both trips were very successful. More fish for the grill. We both highly recommend this place if your looking for the most relaxing vacation possible.

An amazing escape!
From my perspective the place was awesome. Plenty of room for myself, 2 teenage girls, and my older mother and father (70s). A beach cottage on stilts, 2 bedrooms on the first floor and the master en-suite on the second floor with a upper deck that has a view of the sunset over the ocean. Beds and bedding were comfortable. The kitchen was great, every cooking device needed (keriag & filtered coffee machine, rice cooker, air fryer, toaster oven, nice gas grill), some salts and spices too. RokuTV was great. Kayaks and beach chairs were extremely useful. We walked from the dock to the house easily and daily walks to the ocean beach about the same distance. The only issues we had in the house was the presence of small ants in the kitchen (I brought some ant traps that helped) and the internet was sometimes flaky while watching movies in the evening but we just played board games instead. It was our first time to the island, it was fun but I recommend either renting a boat from the mainland to come and go as you please or make the water taxi reservation WAY in advance. Keep expectations low, there is not much to do besides relax and hang on the beach. Bring enough food and drinks for your stay to minimize the need to leave the island.

About the host

We built our dream house in 1991. It took us only one hour on the island before we knew LGI was for us. The first day on the island we bought property. (and they said I couldn't spend money were we were going!)Then built our dream home.

I guess it was the luck of the Irish!!

Why they chose this property

The minute you step off of the dock you will know you have found the best kept secret in the southwest Florida area. Old Florida You can hear birds chipping, see turtles crawling down the beaten path and Golf carts buzzing around the island as everyone enjoys the sights, sounds and freedom of the island.

What makes this property unique

Get away from the rat race of the hectic world as we know it today. There is a hush not heard on the mainland. Once you arrive on the island you are on island time... slow and relaxed.
