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.👍😉

Great place!
We really enjoyed our three week stay and the home was in great condition with pretty much everything we needed. The coordination and communications with the Owner were timely and the host was very responsive when we had questions or needs. The host actually checked in with us one day when the power had gone out (briefly) to make sure we were in good shape, thank you again Bonnie! We loved the large screened porch and spent a lot of time out there eating, playing games, and just hanging out. We wound up renting a golf cart and also used the grocery delivery service, our first time using that service and it was soooo worth it! The host asked for suggestions for improvements, and even though the host did provide this info via VRBO, one thing that we felt would be helpful for renters would be a binder with info on the home, how things work (wifi password, etc.), local services (grocery, water taxi, etc.), and checkout info. All in all this was a great rental and we would definitely stay here again!

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.

Island vacation
Great location if you like seclusion. Loved hanging out at the beach. Went memorial day week and were few people there however still not packed like I thought it may be. Thinned out a bit as week went on but still not anything like a busy public beach. Saw all kinds of wildlife on island, loggerhead sea turtles nesting, gopher tortoise crossing road as well as snakes, scorpion, armadillos. Dolphins swimming 100 yards from beach which you can still touch in most locations that far out due to large sandbar throughout most of beach area. Also was within 5-10 feet of manatee that swam by me as I was snorkeling. Home was great, plenty of room for family with literally everything you would need from all beach supplies, chairs, umbrella, sand toys, kayaks, did have fishing poles but none worked. I had brought my own anyway. Home was clean and tastefully decorated with beach items. I guess water taxi was having very busy day due to it being memorial day so we waited some time beyond our scheduled time to get to island, still not deal breaker for me, was very nice. All I can say is that if you plan to book this great place you will want to make sure you plan your meals and snacks for each day. If you do forget something you can always get it delivered but for a price. I definitely plan to return to island in future., hopefully same place. Thanks for great time Bonnie.

Amazing Experience!!!
The house is perfect. Very very clean. Tons of space. I loved the screened in porch and the top deck. Location is perfect - a quick stroll to the beach. Kayaks were amazing. Do yourself a favor and book this place ASAP.
