About this property

Bay Watch - Beautiful Bay Views - PRIVATE ISLAND

  • Escape to true island tranquility at this charming two bedroom bayfront retreat on Little Gasparilla Island. Accessible only by boat or water taxi, the home offers a peaceful setting with no cars, no traffic, and plenty of coastal calm. Unwind on the screened lanai with sweeping bay views, stroll to the private beach for sunset, or spend your days collecting shells, enjoying the Gulf breeze, kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing in some of Southwest Florida's most inviting waters.
    A fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, and comfortable living spaces make this an ideal choice for an extended getaway. The home accommodates up to seven guests with one king bedroom, one queen bedroom, two futons, and an additional twin mattress.
    Amenities
    Enjoy satellite WiFi, air conditioning, a 75 inch Smart TV, books, games, cornhole, darts, a hammock, beach chairs, beach towels, one kayak, two paddleboards, and community dock access for boats up to 24 feet. Golf carts are available to rent on the island and are not included with the home.
    More Room for Your Group
    Planning a larger island getaway? Bird's Nest, the sister property next door, may be rented with this home to accommodate up to 13 guests. Book both properties and receive a discount, making it even easier to bring family and friends together.
    Island Access and Rental Details
    Little Gasparilla is a bridgeless barrier island, so guests will need a private boat or must arrange water taxi or ferry service for arrival and departure. Rental charges include 12 percent tax, cleaning and reservation fees. A refundable security deposit of $500 is required.
    Trade crowded beaches for peaceful bay views and unforgettable island days. Reserve Off the Beaten Path today, or pair it with Bird's Nest for extra space and added savings.
