A true hidden gem; Little Gasparilla Island is a bridge less, tropical barrier island just off the West Coast of Florida located midway between Tampa and Naples not far from the cities of Boca Grande and Englewood Florida. Unspoiled by seawalls and high rises, it has no roads and no car traffic, just white sand paths for exploring. Here you’ll find 7 miles of pristine white sandy beaches, fantastic fishing opportunities, an abundance of sea shells and prehistoric shark’s teeth to gather, dramatic sunsets and balmy tropical breezes.

You must take a water taxi to reach the house. There are no cars on the island but a car is recommended if you want to explore the mainland and visit local shops, restaurants, grocery stores, etc. Your vehicle can be left at Eldred's Marina where the water taxi departs from daily for the island. Parking fee is $10 per day at Eldred's. Water taxi price is currently $30 per person each way during daylight hours of 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. Water taxi is available outside of these hours with reservation but prices vary.

OLD-TIME FLORIDA AT ITS BEST!We grew up in Florida and staying at this Little Gasparilla Island home felt like stepping back into Old Florida - but with all the modern conveniences you could want.The home is beautifully equipped with a full kitchen, outdoor grill/smoker, comfortable beds, and an absolutely breathtaking view overlooking the bay. The private boat dock made getting on the water effortless, and the beach is just a short walk away.My wife caught enough fish for dinner on two nights and spent hours collecting shark teeth and seashells along the shore. It was exactly the kind of vacation we had hoped for.Our host, Clint, was exceptional, responding to every question within about 15 minutes. His hospitality made an already wonderful stay even better.We absolutely love this home and Little Gasparilla Island—and we're confident you will too.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful home on LGI! The house was spotless, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and you can truly tell the owners put so much thought into every detail. It felt welcoming the moment we arrived. We especially loved having the Christmas tree up—it made our stay feel extra cozy and festive. The location was perfect, and the dock was a huge bonus for enjoying the water. We couldn’t have asked for a better place and can’t wait to come back

Check in was smooth, the house was very clean and had all the necessities that we needed! The kitchen was fully stocked. The views from the screened in porch were amazing.

ClintWe loved sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee and looking at the Bay. Evening with a glass of wine was a joy too. Short walk to the Beach made the Beach easy to reach. Very clean and organized. Loved the grill by the way. Simple to use and perfectly cooked everything. We be back to stay. Hopefully sooner than later. Greg
