3/2 home on Little Gasparilla Island - Gulf of Mexico. Private beach and dock!

Paradise awaits! Gorgeous Gulf of Mexico front beach only steps away from the home!.

LGI is a private island in the Gulf of Mexico in S.W. Florida. It is bridgeless. There are very few people on the beach generally and you will have miles of pristine beach to yourself.

Meticulously cared for fully furnished home close to private beach access. 3 bedrooms 2 baths with 400 square foot outdoor deck. Private Dock included. - (1 boat only.

The home's location on the island can be seen in picture number 2 - center of picture with brown deck.. Basically on the beachfront only seperated by the mangrove / dunes. We can hear the crashing of the waves and nice ocean breeze.

World class fishing. Great outdoors, ecotourism and wildlife. type vacation. Great for peace and quiet.

The home is also a short walk from the dock. There is a large rolling Rubbermade cart that can be retrieved from the home and bring it back to the dock to roll bags and supplies, equipment to the home.

The Home:
3-bedroom 2- bath with an outdoor shower.
1,300 square feet inside and 400 square foot deck.
A master suite includes a king size bed and a full-size tub.
The other 2 bedrooms have Queen size beds.
Everything is new and super comfortable.
Completely updated.

The home is fully equipped. High speed internet, smart tv, desk with printer and copy machine, charcoal and propane grills, outdoor shower and rinsing hoses. Large kitchen has everything you need to cook. Washer and Dryer. There is at least 4 beach chairs and a large umbrella with an anchor. There is 1 Bicycle

You can fish from the dock in the bay as well as from the beachfront. If you have a boat, there are local islands to visit that have restaurants and bars and so many fishing spots or sandbars to go to.

Parking is at Eldred's Marina - 6301 Boca Grande Causeway Placida, FL. 33946 - 941 697 1431 - Cars $6 per day - Trucks $8 - Trucks with trailers $10 per day - approx.

Pirates Water Taxi 941 697 5777 (Make Appointment) can be used to get to the island if you do not have a boat. The cost is $12.50 per person each way. Make appointments in advance! The taxi is regularly available.

The Water taxi takes you from the mainland - Placida FL. to Little Gasparilla Island - about a 10-minute boat ride to our dock #17. You can come and go from the island by scheduling with the water taxi.

Golf Carts can be rented on the island at LGI Golf Cart rentals.

You can bring your boat and park at our dock as well or there are several boat rentals in the area.

Nearby places to visit by boat: Stump Pass sand bars. Also, boca grande sand bar. Caya Costa if you can go there - you will be blown away. And then there is Cabbage Key where Jimmy Buffet wrote "Cheeseburger in Paradise" or go to Palm Island which is close by and visit the restaurant there called "Rum Bay". Or the mainland town of Englewood. These locations can be looked up by name online.

Thank you!!

Great Location, Great Property
Our stay was fantastic from the first day to the last. John's home is welcoming and had everything we needed for our two week stay. The short walk to the beach was wonderful and you could hear the waves crashing the shoreline from the deck of the house. We will definitely be back!!

No place like LGI
We have a house on LGI that was severely damaged in Ian. When I contacted John @ staying in his place, he was so kind & understanding of our situation. He was very accommodating & responded quickly. His place was neat & clean & very well stocked with really everything you need for LGI vacation. Clearly a lot of thought in making sure our stay was easy & comfortable. I especially loved the outdoor shower complete with sea breezes, moon & stars🌕⭐️⭐️I appreciate those details so much! I highly recommend John’s corner LGI oasis just steps from the beautiful beach.

House was perfect. Island is still rebuilding from the hurricane. There were a few days red tide was present. On those days we took our rental boat to another beach. I would highly recommend renting a boat if you dont have your own.

Loved the house
We had a wonderful time at this vacation rental. It was in wonderful shape considering a lot of the other homes were recovering from hurricane damage. The neighbors were kind and even offered to loan us their golf cart. The internet was the only issue. With 2 teens with us it definitely lagged a little bit. Would definitely recommend some additional DVD's so they younger kids can stay entertained at night. Overall, we had a great time and will definitely recommend to others in the future.

Worth the work to get there!
As soon as you step off the water taxi you are in another world. Very clean, fun place fabulously decorated, comfortable and accommodating for all of your vacation needs. Takes some planning to get there. Reserve Pirates Water Taxi in advance. We weren’t able to get there the first night due to the taxi not running from high winds (25 mph) so had to spend the night elsewhere but that is part of island reality. We had to plan grocery run carefully but had all we needed once there. The beach is really amazing with hardly anyone there. We went on many jogs out and back along the beach. Wildlife is plentiful with osprey nests everywhere and abundant shell collecting. We rented a boat for three days from Abe’s so we could explore the channels, mangroves and other beaches as well as do a second grocery run, but you can also get groceries delivered. Keep trash in mind as you have to arrange for pickup or from it off at Eldred’s. Amazing stay, highly recommend for families if you are into a more rugged, laid back time that reflects what natural Florida can really be. Would be great to have a few kayaks or boogie boards to add. Thanks to John for being so helpful.

Perfect vacation spot for our fanily
We visited this rental with our two young children and my in-laws. My husband was interested in exploring with the boat we rented and fishing, in-laws walked the beach finding numerous shark teeth, and the kids and I spent the majority of our time on the beach playing in the sand and water. The location could not have been more perfect for our variety of needs and activities. Everyone we met was wonderful and kind. A friendly neighbor even lent my father in law a kayak for an adventure on the intercostal. John, our host, was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the stay with our various needs, including fishing advice, how to navigate to the island, etc. Overall, a delightful experience!
