Jewel of the Sea: paradise on a bridge-less island

Leave your car and your cares at the marina because Little Gasparilla is accessible only by water taxi! That means our beaches are uncrowded and tourists and traffic are just a mainland memory. If you are looking for a quiet tropical island to relax and unplug, Little Gasparilla is your dream vacation spot. Our "nightlife" consists of giant sea turtles laying their eggs -- our only bar is the sand bar where you can find sand dollars and shells! This beautiful island home is situated on Little Gasparilla Island which is one island north of Boca Grande. Little Gasparilla Island is a "boat access only" barrier island, 10 minutes from the mainland with no high-rise or commercial development. This home is perfect for two couples or a family. This home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and an open floor plan with a wrap around balcony. The master features a king bed with a luxurious en-suite bath, including a shower and a soaking tub. The second and third bedrooms each feature queen beds and an additional bathroom in the hall with tub/shower combination serves those bedrooms. The home boasts beautiful finishes and features stone floors, granite countertops, custom cabinetry and even offers a view of the Gulf of Mexico. The dining area includes a large dining table and a breakfast bar. The living area also offers a Murphy bed for additional sleeping flexibility. A large fireplace is a focal point in the living area. This island retreat includes access to two docks (Dock 36 and Dock 38). It features a large screened in front porch, perfect for outdoor dining, and a spacious downstairs outdoor shower. This exclusive island with white sandy beaches is never crowded and is known for its flats fishing for redfish, snook & trout.
