About this property

We are Back!!!! Newly renovated after Hurricane IAN

The Captain's Bungalow is a single family home located on the secluded island of Little Gasparilla. The island is situated in southwest Florida on the Gulf of Mexico, just north of world famous Boca Grande. LGI (Little Gasparilla Island) is away from it all with access only by boat and no paved roads. Getting around the island is easy by walking on the sand paths or traveling on a golf cart. Wildlife is abundant on and around the island with Gopher tortoises, Bald Eagles, Osprey, Sea turtles, Dolphins, Manatees and numerous salt water fish including Redfish, Tarpon, Trout, Flounder and much more. Whether it's sitting on the dock soaking up the sunshine or fishing for your prize catch of the day, the list is endless with the possibilities. The white sandy beach with the azure blue Gulf of Mexico awaits your beach chair. Imaging the tranquility of the beach with very few visitors. Seven miles of beach access are at your disposal.

Our home features three bedrooms and two bathrooms with a large kitchen/ living great-room. The kitchen comes fully equipped for your culinary needs. The screen porch is an excellent place to read or just relax on the porch swing. If hammocks are more your style the covered area under the house is perfect for you. A gas grill is provided for you to prepare your catch of the day or a delicious steak.


Two bedrooms upstairs feature queen beds with adjustable mattresses. Our downstairs bedroom has a queen bed and full bathroom. If you must do laundry, we have our own washer and dryer. There is plenty of room to store your catch of the day or extra ice in our downstairs refrigerator/ freezer.

The large yard is quite unique for the island. There is plenty of space for relaxing on the lawn to play corn hole, croquet or boci ball. We even have a fire pit for evening bonfires and smores creations.

Are you looking for a real Island experience? Look no further!
Greg was a phenomenal host and he was always extremely quick to respond if we needed anything. The property is perfectly centered on Little Gasparilla Island which means you only have a 1min. walk to the beach and a 1min. walk to the docks where you can do plenty of fishing. The location is absolutely perfect to slow down and relax. We certainly enjoyed our vacation and can't wait to stay in Greg's bungalow on LGI again.

Great time
We loved our stay at the Captain's Bungalow. Greg was AWESOME. It was the most relaxing time. The home was clean and had plenty of room. He also had a stocked house! Lots of towels and other essentials as well as beach chairs, fishing gear, paddleboard etc. Greg also met us at the dock with a cart and helped us get our stuff to the house. We couldn't askk for more. We will be back!!

Island Life is the Laid Back Way to Vacation
I loved staying on LGI, my most relaxing trip to Florida ever! The location of the Captain's Bungalow is the perfect distance between the dock on the bayside of the island and a short walk to the beach. If you want to kick back and get away from the hustle and bustle, this is the place to stay. It was nice to have a screened in porch and grill for cooking out. We were able to relax on the beach all day and sit around and relax in the living room all together in the evening. Plenty of seating and beds for everyone. Beach towels, chairs and even a wagon are provided to haul your stuff the short walk to the beach. If you enjoy looking for shells or sharks teeth, you will love this beach. No crowds, just the occasional friendly neighbor out walking their dog and taking in the beautiful sunsets. I would definitely reccomend a stay on LGI. Thanks to Captain Greg for sharing your piece of paradise with our family!

This is our second home that we are happy to share with you. We hope that the memories are long lasting like they are for us when we get the chance to stay at the Captatin's Bungalow.

Relax and enjoy!
