Florida Gulf Getaway on Little Gasparilla Island

Escape from the ordinary and enjoy your vacation on island time. Little Gasparilla island is approximately seven miles long and about a quarter mile wide, with most of it being a state park. There are only two condos on the island and the rest of the island is private residences. From our unit you can see the ocean and is a very short walk to the beach down a boardwalk. The beach is absolutely amazing. Most of the time it is you and a couple of other families on the beach. The shell collecting is unparalleled. You can find sharks teeth, sand dollars, horseshoe crabs and even fossils. The ocean is clear with shades of blue that remind you of the Keys and the Bahamas. The surf is small and you can float for hours on rafts. You arrive by boat. Gone is the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Your main mode of transportation is your two feet.:) Pull carts are available for your luggage and groceries. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots and pans and coffee pot. Enjoy unwinding on the balcony overlooking the lake with views of the ocean. There are plenty of golf cart paths for exploring the island. There is a large community grill and smoker, two fully stocked fish ponds, heated pool, and swings. Boat dockage is included in the price. There are two snook lights on the dock for nighttime fishing.The golf cart is included as a courtesy and has a maximum load of 4 people. Drivers must be at least 21. The golf cart IS NOT included in the rental rate and is in not guaranteed, thus no refunds or discounts if it is not working/available. We try our best to keep it in good running condition but some repairs or maintenance may place it out of commission. Golf cart must be in the "crib" for maintenance the second Tuesday of each month from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. Golf cart is for use in Hideaway Bay property only as we do not have the resources to help you should the cart breakdown or run out of batteries on the other side of the island. We ask that you do not use the cart on wet roads as the saltwater is very corrosive on the cart.
